super nice people, who really want to give you a nice holiday.
We went to Kenya with our three girls (8,12,14) in November, arranged by Malika travel. We really enjoyed it. Everything was arranged down to the last detail. We got the right tips for the holiday and the folder with what you are going to do each day was really a godsend.
We saw a lot of animals and up close, our driver was really great, also with the children.
The personal contact was also very nice, you can ask Carlijn anything. We recommend it to everyone. Good luck with your company.

Super well organized and a great well-cared for trip
What a fantastic experience! Our trip with Malika Travel was taken care of down to the last detail and exceeded all our expectations. From the start it felt personal and professional: all our questions were answered in detail, and our wishes were taken into account. The trip itself was fantastic, with experienced guides and drivers who were always on time. The fact that we were only in the jeep with our own family ensured that we could take time for things that were important to us.
During the safaris, our guide made the difference: he had an eye for detail and a lot of patience. Thanks to him, we had unique experiences, such as a perfect view at a river crossing and a close encounter with a cheetah and her (5!!!) little cubs. The hotels were also excellent and we didn't have to worry about anything.
The personal touch, such as a welcome home card, made it extra special. Kenya itself was great, with friendly and cheerful people who made our trip unforgettable.
The trip is now a few months behind us, but we still talk about it every week. Looking back on 2024, the entire family named the Kenya trip as the absolute highlight of the year!
If you want a personal, carefree and adventurous trip, we highly recommend Malika Travel. Thank you, Carlijn, for everything!

SUPER!!! everything very well organised!!!
We had a very nice 2 week trip on Safari in Kenya. We were with 4 people in 1 Jeep, it is recommended to choose a Jeep and not a van which made the Safari trip through Savanna even more real. Visited various parks and then a few days to Diani Beach, nice and lazy on the beautiful beach.
Malika had chosen a very nice itinerary and accommodations. Everything was perfect!!!
Timothy was our travel guide and driver in the Jeep, was very nice with him and he knew a lot to tell during the Safari.
We enjoyed ourselves very much, we can highly recommend a trip with Mailka!!!
greetings Anja and Edgar

Amazing trip!
We made a fantastic honeymoon through Kenya and that was partly because of Malika Travel and in particular because of Carlijn! She put together our trip completely according to your wishes and was able to give good advice. We had beautiful accommodations, had a very nice and pleasant guide/driver Dennis and spotted a lot of wild animals! But we especially liked Carlijn's personal approach, she was easily accessible, no question was too much, not even from Kenya and that was very nice! Even a card for our wedding and a welcome home card, that's super nice! :-) Highly recommended to book with Malika Travel!

Briljant journey!
From first meeting Malika Travel at the Vakantiebeurs in The Netherlands, to the phone call after the trip: everything was arranged in an excellent way. Carlijn planned the perfect trip in Kenya for us and was always available for questions, also during the trip and even at the time the Malika trip had ended, but there was a strike at the airport, she still was really involved.
We were paired with guide/driver Denis and he was the best guide we could wish for. Always good spirited, arranged everything during our trip,vwe could adjust things of we wanted to and the knowledge he had about the parks.... Impressive! And, he also, went above and beyond during the strike at the airport. It was the perfect honeymoon and we will go back to Kenya for our 5th year wedding anniversary, but only if Malika and Denis are available!

Great! Personal contact during planning of trip in the Netherlands and think along in choice options
Last September we had a wonderful 18-day safari trip through Kenya. Malika Travel organized the safari and made some adjustments together with us. We visited the most beautiful parks in Kenya and were accompanied by 2 good English speaking, friendly guides. We had the time of our lives. The entire trip was well organized and the accommodations were all great and all for a nice, competitive price. We are happy that we chose Malika Travel.

A perfect tailor-made trip, according to our wishes
Wow, wow, wow, what a fantastic trip to Tanzania/Zanzibar put together by Malika. After spending the night in Arusha, we visited Tarangire National Park. Immediately surprised by so many animals, elephants, giraffes, monkeys, birds and all so close. Then 3 days of Serengetti and 1 day ngorongoro crater. Long days in the car on bumpy roads but it's so worth it. Spend the night in the tented lodges in the middle of wildlife with security after 7 p.m. Back to basics with little luxury but so pampered. This holiday was especially special because of our driver/guide Yassin. He was so incredibly nice, knew so much about the animals and went the extra mile every time to let us enjoy and experience the safari intensely without taking any risks. We saw all the big 5 and thé highlight was the migration of 1000 wildebeest that made the crossing. We kept squeezing our arms.... A few days in Zanzibar in Next Paradise lived up to its name and was a pleasure. Thank you Yassin and Malika for this unforgettable trip.

A perfect advice results in a perfect holiday
After finding Malika on internet , we had a meeting via telephone which was very pleasant and relaxed. Carlijn listened very well what we had in mind for a safari in Kenia and gave us a perfect advice. Starting the holiday the advice came true exactly as Carlijn told us. A very friendly safari-driver (Dan) accompanied us and told us about Kenia and the parks and the animals. With a flexibel attitude from Dan we had the possibility to give him some input for an extra gamedrive or to visit Tanzania border which was not a problem at all. After 4 days spending time with Dan and 1200 kms further, we arrived at Diani beach in a hotel (resort) for almost 2 weeks where we made some day trips accompanied by Kevin the taxidriver advised by Carlijn. Also a very friendly guy who showed us parts of Kenia near the beach. If we want to go back to this part of Africa we certainly will call Malika ( Carlijn) for a new adventure.

The best. That's it.
We had an absolutely stunning experience, traveling though Kenya and their National Parks with Malika Travel. Firstly, the people at the (small so VERY personal) office helped us find the perfect safari trip for us. Secondly, we got ourselves a driver who appeared to be very very good in his job. Driving us safely through the rough roads of Kenya, showing us all the beautiful spots AND animals and telling us lots of interesting information and facts about it all. Till now, we didnt pay this amount of money for a trip. But also till now, we never had a trip worth the money we paid so much as this one. In our hearts forever. Thank you Malika.

Very qualified, extremely customer-friendly travel agency specialized in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda
Last summer we took a beautiful tour through Kenya, which Malika travel had tailor-made for us. Everything was perfect: we had a car with a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic driver/guide who told us a lot about the nature and culture of Kenya, we went on very impressive safaris, enjoyed the beautiful landscape and saw many special animals and places, we spent the night in beautiful safari lodges, had delicious meals and relaxed on the beach for the last few days. Everything was arranged down to the last detail by Malika Travel. We can highly recommend this very customer-friendly travel agency!
