Reviews
We truly experienced a custom made journey and the agency is good at noticing specific details
In November 2013 my boyfriend and I traveled to Kenya to celebrate our holiday. We approached Malika Travel to organize our trip. Carlijn and James have a very personal approach and did their very best to make our trip memorable! They prepared our trip very well. From the beginning the contact was very smooth, even by telephone and e-mail. We could contact them anytime and received a prompt and accurate response. It is an excellent country and also the price / quality ratio was perfect. In comparison to other agencies Malika Travel offers a very good price! At first we were a week in a seaside resort in Diani Beach and after this we visited two safari parks, Masai Mara and Samburu National Park. With our driver Moses we went on safari and it was great fun! Malika Travel has chosen really great locations for us, where we were treated like VIPs! It is fantastic that both have so often been in Kenya and are really good with the locals. This is a good base to create such a trip!

Very helpful in creating the perfect holiday and wedding proposal
In 2013 I contacted Carlijn to organize a holiday to Kenya. I was planning to propose to my girlfriend in Kenya so everything needed to be perfect! Not only does Malika Travel offer a very good price (compared to other agencies) also the contact with Malika Travel is very personal. Carlijn came up with several suggestions for the holiday and also the proposal. I could ask Carlijn all sorts of things for the proposal and Carlijn could just organise it, just perfect! She offered such a good trip. The driver was a really nice and calm guy. The camps were beautiful and clean and located perfect. The parks we visited were just amazing. Our holiday was just perfect! Thank you Carlijn and James!!

Competent and specialist in Afrika Safari
If you say Safari, you say Malika. In August/September 22 we made a 21 day tour through Kenya. 7 National parks and 1 Marina park visited. 2,500 km in a land cruiser pulled through Kenya with James our driver. The trip was excellently arranged in advance, a nice itinerary in which the entire route and overnight location are described. In consultation with Carlijn van Malika in recording our trip and the added value of our driver James during the trip, we have got the most out of this tour. We still feel that we have lived the entire journey in a nature film. Extending the trip has a lot of added value so that you have the time to experience the WildLife "really" and not have to rush to the next destination. Carlijn and James thank you very much for this unforgettable experience.
Peter and Sonja.

Absolutely fabulous family holiday, a lifetime experience!
We are very satisfied with the trip together by Malika Travel, it could not have been arranged better. Even though we had to shift our trip twice due to corona, Carlijn was always patient, responded quickly and understandingly to all our questions.
We have seen beautiful accommodations, lovely people and a lot of beautiful things, in short, a fantastic family holiday.

Amazing and unforgettable trip!
What an amazing safari trip we have had! In June we celebrated our honeymoon in Kenya with a wonderful safari! Carlijn has been absolutely fantastic, she listened to our wishes and helped us to plan the best safari! Besides the very professional work and planning we felt also a nice personal approach by Carlijn and really enjoyed planning with her. The camps she recommended were amazing and we were welcomed warmly at every camp! Then our guide/driver Dennis, he shared so much knowledge with us! And he went above and beyond to get us a safari we never could have imagined! We would recommend Malika to everyone!

Amazing experience
In September we went on our honeymoon to Tanzania and Uganda and we put it all together with Malika Travel.
We found this very pleasant. The contact was very nice, always easily accessible, helpful and you notice that they know a lot about it and can therefore advise you well and professionally.
The trip was really great and everything was arranged from A to Z, the accommodations were fantastic and the transport and guides were also great.
Carlijn and James, thank you very much again for everything.

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!

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.

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.

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.
