Maximum fun with minimum budget is Magical
5/5

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

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!

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 - 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)

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!

One of the Best experience for the first timers.
5/5

Magical retreat gives an amazing service.. the tour guide which was provided was outstanding and the safari was completely same as mentioned. they dont have any hidden charges and is cheap as well as is worth the money. if anyone is looking for a safari and is a newbie then they really should go for them. plus the biggest advantage is that their safari is a private safari which is best for group of friends or if family is going.. should try it for sure..

Magical experience
5/5

We were a group of four who booked a four night five day safari with Magical Retreats & Adventure Tours. Although we did a fairly last minute booking ( just a week before we actually arrived in Kenya), Pamela did a great job of organising our booking as per our requirements. She was very helpful and patient while we figured what we wanted and then confirmed everything in double quick time. Our guide/driver Livingston was also very professional and good with the details of all the areas we visited.
I would definitely recommend Magical Retreats to anyone who wants to visit Kenya.

Lifetime Experience Of Masaimara Safari
5/5

Kudos to Ms Pamela for organising and arranging Masaimara safari for me & my wife in September 2016 for 3 days and 2 nights. Our guide and driver was Musaga who was a very amiable person and conversing with him english was pleasant. Our accommodation and food in Mara Sopa Lodge was fairly lavish. Even vegetarian guests will not face any problem.The 2 day game drives were exhaustive and very satisfying. We have seen all the animals found in Masaimara except the elusive Leopard. I thank Magical retreats & its team for making our Safari so fruitfull. I would also mention that I had sent 50% of the total value of the tour 4 months in advance of the tour but since Ms Pamela kept a constant contact on WhatsApp & email it kept on reassuring that my money was safe.
