Brilliant experience with Magical Retreat in Masai Mara, Nakuru
5/5

I visited Kenya recently (Oct 2016) along with my wife and 2 kids. I booked my holiday for 5 days in Masai Mara & Nakuru thru Magical Retreat and was the best tour operator I have met so far. Pamela was so flexible and accommodative to all my requests right from my initial discussions with her which started 6 months prior to my holiday until booking the accommodations of my choice making it 100% customized. The accommodation, food, safari vehicle was way beyond expectations. A big thanks to our guide Peter who drove us right from Nairobi airport, all thru the safari in Mara, Nakuru until we were dropped back safely on the last day to the airport. He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife in Africa and did not give us a chance to miss the BIG FIVE. Its been a week since we came back and still talking about the trip just because the Magical Retreat crew made us so comfortable and memorable. I have already started to recommend my contacts (and highly recommend anyone) about Magical Retreat as the place to book who are interested to visit Kenya sooner or later. The pricing was just unmatchable when I compared with other tour operators (both in Nairobi and India). We also did a hot air balloon safari in Mara (booked thru Magical Retreat) and has been the best safari in our lives so far. Thanks a lot Pamela for taking care of everything requested...you guys are Awesome....coming back to Nairobi is back on our bucket list :-)
Thanks again and we'll keep in touch!

Excellent - Tranquillising Experience
5/5

Jumbo and Sopa to All
Trip was 5 Days 4 Nights: Nairobi | Masai Mara |Lake Nakuru booked with Magical Retreats.
Overall experience was great.. except minor issues during Nairobi stay. High Appreciation to Ms Pamela for diligent handling.
Our Companion / Guide - Moosa alias Mr Livingstone Msagha was Excellent.

Imp advise - No point visiting Lake Nakura if you have visited Masai Mara, Nakuru is an fenced park and has nothing much to see as such.

Magical retreats were great and would recommend everyone visiting Kenya. ( Have started endorsing them to all my friends)

A lifetime experience
5/5

Pamela and her tour is probably amongst the most hospitable and accomodating ones. Right from the day we contacted them to start the initial discussion right till now it has been a pleasurable dealing with her and the team. Truly professional and very nice people.
The whole tour was organised in a professional manner and taking into account all the factors. Really amazing!
I would recommend using Magical Retreats and Adventures to all.
A special thanks to Pamela and Joseph (our driver), They both are fantastic.

Excellent service provided, wonderful group to chose for Safari and adventure in Kenya...
5/5

The 4 days in Masai Maara were probably our most 4 exciting vacation days ever. We loved the breathtaking mixture of landscapes and animals and we came back with zillions of amazing pictures!
Everything went smoothly with our driver cum guide Peter and our accommodation was as we expected with fun people to meet.
We could tell that Peter was as excited as us to find animals and nice viewpoints and it seems that he would drive forever to find the most exciting wild life scenes (most notably a leopard).
We also spent a day with the Masai people learning about their culture and traditions: a transforming experience!
Overall, it was an incredibly amazing time and we strongly recommend Magical Retreat Safaris. Pamela helped us design our safari to make sure it included everything we wanted. She was very responsive either over the phone or by email and offered us a lot of options with different budgets.
We cannot wait to do anoteher safari with Magical Retreat Safaris!

Pamela is awesome, she was so flexible may it be tour customization or price or payment terms,
she delivered the best as she had promised.
Peter the tour guide was so nice and was equally excited to go around in search of exotic animals. he never let us feel that he was just doing his job.he was so caring that we didnt feel that we are foreigners

Awesome two days at Amboseli Park. We got to see all sorts of animals even three Cheetahs !!!!!!
5/5

I got in touch with Pamela at the last minute to organize a 2 days stay at Amboseli. I was not sure which park to go to and Pamela answered all my question and gave me all the information I needed. She eventually arranged for me and my sister a vehicle on our own with the nice driver (Livingstone) who has been really helpful and cheerful throughout the tour. We stayed at a great lodge and I must stay it was the nicest place we got to stay in during our whole time in Kenya. I would like to thank again Pam and her team for arranging this trip and I would definitely recommend Magical Retreats and Adventures.

Magical Safari with Magical Retreats
5/5

Me and my wife made a booking with magical retreats for a short safari in Oct 2016.
It was quite last minute and Ms. Pamela was really efficient in making all the arrangements on such short notice. We had an excellent private safari and we managed to see most of the animals in the game preserve. The icing on the cake was of course the early morning balloon safari.
I must also add that Ms. Pamela offered us the best price as we did enquire with a lot of other tour operators.
I would highly recommend Ms. Pamela and Magical Retreats for your next african adventure :)

Awesome Kenyan experience with Pamela and Msagha
5/5

Right from the start Pamela Wanjugu was a great travel agent: honest and fair, easy to talk to, open minded, careful to our needs, very client oriented. We had 4 days safari in Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavi West. Accomodation that Pamela provided at a very good price were:
AA Amboseli Lodge - an oasis of peaceful in the middle of the beasts, high standards and good services;
Ngulia Lodge - a spectacular location in Tsavo West.
The safari experience with Msagha Livingstone overtoped our expectations: great guide with very good eyes on spotting the animals, great places, cool game drives.
