Excellent
Located in the Marine Conservation of area of Kuruwitu, the elegant Cardamom House was our home during the Christmas holiday. Smart Voyage was recommended by a friend. They planned our 3 night holiday to this stunning property. Our experience was absolutely fantastic. From the food to the ambience to the Moroccan style furnished rooms. Everything was seamlessOur grandparents love golf and loved that the Vipingo Ridge Golf Course was is only 10kms away from the property. This is was a time to bond and enjoy the holidays and we sure did. Loved every minute of it. Smart voyage is the real deal.

Just amazing
After all the exhausting wedding plans, It was finally time to relax and enjoy private time with my wife. Smart Voyage has been our travelling agent for almost 3 years now. Elewana Afro Chic was our home for that week. Never seen such a beautiful hotel in my life. Upon arrival we were welcomed with warm smiles from the staff as our bags were taken to our room. The hotel's location is perfect for a getaway. Our room was beautifully decorated with red roses all over and on the bed came with a basket containing a bottle of champagne, cheese and dark chocolate. This indeed set the mood for our whole stay. We had the executive suite all to ourselves. With an en suite Jacuzzi bath and calming view of the Indian ocean. Loved that the hotel does not have meal times giving us all the time to enjoy our stay. Scuba diving in Diani was a favourite. It was such a beautiful experience seeing the marine; absolutely breathtaking. We had time to visit the Mwaluganje elephant sanctuary. Another highlight of our trip was the relaxing couples massage and yoga session as well as our morning and evening walks by the beach. Our stay was smooth and perfect. Smart voyage delivered yet again.
A person who knows the place very well.
We had a blast at our trip. We were lucky to have a tour operator who knows the place very well. We saw over 10 lions, Leopard( twice on two different days), a Cheetah, group of Hyenas,….. ,
We were also lucky to find the best tour company. The price was so cheap than other companies and the accommodation was great…
This was an unforgettable life experience for us ( parents) and for our kids!!!

Detail-oriented
Smart Voyage planned our 3 night holiday in mid September. My brother had suggested the beautiful Kicheche camp. He had been here a few years back and loved the experience. The camp nestles in the shadows of Mt Kenya. I must comment on the staff, very delightful and welcoming. The highlight of our trip was definitely the incredible game drive at Ol Pejeta conservancy. We got to see elephants, zebras, lions and of course the amazing Rhinos. The camp has only 6 tents translating to quality over quantity ! Our individual camps were spacious and very comfortable. The rooms are well equipped and very clean. We were really impressed by how much the camp gives back to the community ! Our experience was beautiful and enjoyed every minute of it. Must commend Smart Voyage for doing a great job in ensuring we had the best planned trip.

Smart Voyage and Safaris are very Knowledgeable, helpful and work with the community.
The sun was finally out after almost 3 months of the cold weather. My mum had suggested we go for an holiday but we never settled for a time till last month. Smart Voyage has been our travelling agent for almost 2 years now so they planned our 3 night holiday to Diani. We stayed at the breathtaking Sands at Nomad Hotel. Being a wine person I enjoyed the extensive wine collection from the owner's wine cellar. The food was so good that it was almost impossible to stop enjoying. Our second day had to be the highlight of our trip. We went scuba diving, this is was one of the best experiences,we got to see the beautiful marine life as we interacted with the local communities.We were so impressed that the hotel promotes sustainability by supporting the Diani Turtle project, a local organisation aimed at protecting fragile marine life. We enjoyed the dinner by the ocean as well. The rooms were absolutely fantastic ! Time went by so fast we didn't even realise it. Our overall experience was so smooth and relaxing. We definitely got what we needed. Asante sana Smart Voyage team.

An amazing trip to the Mara!!
Being a solo trip you'd think I was bored but nevertheless. My trip was far from boring. Spent 3 nights at the luxurious and exclusive Lalashe Mara. Located at the edge of Maasai Mara. The camp has only 5 tented camps, very spacious. My suite had a private plunge pool that was definitely a plus. Not to mention the outdoor showers and sunbeds with umbrella shades. Woke up a bit earlier on the second day to enjoy the hot air balloon. Breathtaking ! Loved every second of it. I later got to enjoy a bush breakfast then an amazing game drive. Got a chance to see 4 of the big five. My day ended with some nice outdoor dinner. On my last day I visited a nearby Maasai Vilage. Got to interact with the Maasai learning a few interesting facts about them. Got a few souvenirs before heading back to the camp. My trip was well planned to best maximize on the time I was there. This is was my third trip with Smart Voyage and as always they delivered!

A great experience!
To even think there was not much to see or experience in Samburu! This is was a company retreat. Smart Voyage was recommended by one of the staff. They planned our 3 day retreat at the Sarova Shaba Lodge. The lodge nestles along the banks of River Ewaso Nyiro. The rooms offer an incredible view of the river and wildlife. We enjoyed amazing safari drives as well as camel Safaris. This is was a new experience for most of us. The outdoor dining experience was worth a mention. We got to unwind and relax after a morning filled with wildlife viewing in the lodge's wellness Spa. The lodge is only a 45 minute flight from Nairobi. The lodge offers different cuisines giving you a variety of options.On the last day the team assembled at the Chemi Chemi bar where everyone gave their remarks on the trip. I would comment Smart Voyage for great customer service as well as excellent product knowledge. Definitely booking with them again.

A memorable honeymoon coastal experience
Smart Voyage planned our six days honeymoon at the Kenyan coast. One of their professional travel planners Kimberly went out of her way to make sure our trip was smooth and perfect . We stayed at Swahili Beach Resort. The private romantic dinner set up by the ocean, couples massage, an sunset sail at Congo river and snorkeling experience at Wasini were the highlights of our trip. We enjoyed every minute of it. Definitely booking our next trip with them.

Great product knowledge!
This was an impromptu trip.The wedding plans were getting overwhelming and I needed a break so here we (me and my fiancé) were at the breathtaking Cliff Nakuru. We'd met Kymmie, a staff at smart Voyage during a golf tournament. Exchanged contacts decided to give her business. We made the right choice I must say.This place was magical. Each tent is built at the edge of the cliff facing the lake.The cliff is only 2 and a half hours from Nairobi making it very convenient. The Landcruiser was so comfortable we were barely tired. For this trip I only wanted relaxing activities and Kymmie made sure that was exactly what was on our itinerary. Would highly recommend the spa! The rooms were unsurpassed. From the equipment to the bathtub to the view! The overall ambience was outstanding. Loved this experience. Smart Voyage is planning our honeymoon as we speak. Great job !

The tour guide was very friendly and accomadating
Experienced world class service in Watamu.
My expectations for this trip were quite high. Happy to say that Smart Voyage exceeded all my expectations. My 6 day holiday was one of my best experiences yet. I stayed at the beautiful Hemingways Watamu. The service was wonderful! Really enjoyed the breathtaking beach views from my room as well as the restaurant.I should mention the food was on its own level.I had travelled with my 3 year old son and the babysitting services here came in very handy. I had time to play tennis and relax during my stay. The resort is only 30 minutes from the Malindi Airport. This definitely made our trip less tiring. My overall experience was amazing. Definitely coming back !
