Angelina is imtelligent,awesome, a cheer leader, sweet to be around and funny.
I had an awesome safari with my daughter. We had the opportunity to see the big 5 animals. Very delighted that Angelina took note of our dietary requirments. It was a nice experience having used Magical Angel Destinations Safaris as our tour agent.

TRULY A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE!!
We had a great experience working with Angelina to book our safari in Kenya. Her communication skills were excellent. She was patient with us and gave us a chance to customize our trip to fit what we were looking for. Our emails were responded to on time.
Our trip turned out fantastic and as planned. We had our magical experience. We visited Amboseli park, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara.
Our driver guide was amazing. Because of the combination of the three parks, We managed to see all the big five during our trip.
I would highly recommend Magical Angel Destinations Safaris. They absolutely DELIVER!!
Thank you Angela!
Best wishes.

A Magical Experience in deed!!
We contacted Angelina and she was quick in responding to our emails. No single day did she not respond on time. This was excellent and I liked this about the company. She organized our 3 days Masai Mara flying safari and everything went as planned. The accommodation Basecamp explorer was excellent, the food the service and the people too were friendly. We were lucky enough to see all the big five during during our trip. Afer out safari,Angelina met us at the airport to get a one on one feedback about our trip. I highly recommend this company to anyone planning a safari anywhere in Kenya. We will be back to Kenya! Asnate sana.

Because of MDS, we found magic in the places, the people and the culture.
The communications were excellent, especially the response rate and the specificity with regards to answering all the questions.
The trip went above our expectations since we didn't realise it was a private safari, the resorts we stayed at were wonderful, the guide Joseph was also one of a kind and went above and beyond to show us everything he could. We saw 4 of the big 5 and so many other animals.
We were very happy with the places that Angelina hand picked for us, both resorts (at Masai Mara and Nakuru) were fabulous!
Perhaps it would be better to have included the fact that the safari was private and also state the type of vehicle that would be used to move etc.
We felt that a map would have been useful, showing the client the routes that would be used to get to Masai Mara (and also include a key with a straight line for good roads and jagged line for bumpy roads, so that the client understood the length of time that would be spent on bumpy roads). This map would have been especially useful for the Lake Nakuru leg of the journey since we didn't understand that we would spend 6 hours getting there. We were happy to have seen it, as we spotted the black rhinos and the other rhinos up close, but to be honest, if we knew it would have been an additional 6 hours in the van, we might not have chosen this option.
It would also be useful to print 2 copies of the itinerary, one for the client and one for the driver. We only had one copy which the driver lost and as a result, we ended up wasting time on our already short stay at Nakuru because we tried to check in to the wrong resort.
Other than these very simple recommendations, we would certainly suggest using Magical Destinations when planning your safari in Kenya. Angelina also provided many options for activities in Mombasa!

Absolutely amazing Safari!!
I booked my trip with Magical Destinations Safaris and Angelina and it was an absolutely amazing experience one of a kind that I will never forget.
I chose and planed a route of three national parks I wanted to go to over the 8 days. From there Angelina took care of everything else. She picked us up from the airport and made sure everything was alright during the entire trip. Our driver John was patient with us to take pictures or when we wanted a break and always on time for pickups and drop offs.He was our driver and he was excellent the whole trip, he could pick out animals from an amazing distance and tried his very hardest to make sure we had seen every animal we could during our game drives. Although there is no guarantee of what you can see during your trip we ticked every box and were even lucky to see a leopard twice and a lion kill a wildebeest.
Our selected accommodations were totally suitable for what we needed.
And it was all completed with Angelina seeing us off at the airport on our way home to get a direct feedback from us. Everything was good throughout the trip , the services from both Angelina and John was first class.
I was worried prior to going , and worried I had done the right thing booking all of this over email and the internet , transferring money from a far country was risky – but there was absolutely no issues, so if anyone is worried and wants any reassurance please feel free to drop me a message. I'd highly recommend this company for your next safari! Asante sana Angelina.

Very much impressed by the quick service and most economical deal.
Was a lil hesitate at first bit then Angelina helped a lot in making our trip very easy. Our guide Joseph was really friendly and made sure we didn't miss anything in our trip. I highly recommend them as they made our trip possible and very exciting and they made sure all our requirements were meant till we left Kenya. Kenya being a new country, Angelina and Joseph made us so much at home with their utmost care.

I am from China coming alone Kenya and looking for a travel agent who can arrange a safari journey for me. On safari.com, I have access to a lot of companies and send e-mail but only this company is willing to help me to arrange safari trip.

She is a lovely young lady, she is my four days Kenya trip dedicated to arrange a perfect journey for me, if the future from China's free travellers or group of passengers want to visit Kenya to participate in safari tour, I sincerely recommend for them this company! At last I am thousands thank you Angelina and two drivers:Big bro John and Willy! All of them take care to me!

An incredibly exciting and memorable trip to Kenya with ‘Magical Destinations Safari'
The Magical Destinations Safari made our African safari trip possible, at first and then unforgettable, until the next one. We started to plan our trip a bit late in time of the year, especially with the top season coming around July-Sep and we were planning ours for the last week of June-first week of July. This is the transition period when the safari price gets double in many cases. Moreover, we were looking for flight connections between the places, wanted a mixed experience of national parks and conservancies, pretty much fixed on our dates, order of destinations (like ending the trip with Maasai Mara) and of course budget . Difficult, I know and that's why I decided to go with a trip planner at the end, even after spending quite a bit of time to plan it on my own. Next, the challenge was to find the tour planner who could manage things in our budget, preferences and close the deal within a short time with all bookings confirmed. I got good response from couple of famous agencies but finally, only the Magical could meet the ends. The young lady, Angelina was super prompt on emails, phone calls, WhatsApp during the short planning period and patiently went back and forth with our changing needs. Finally, she put up a fantastic itinerary tailored to our budget and dates. She was very honest as a person. I was a bit hesitant to go with her in the beginning as I didn't find any review of her own company anywhere, except her name appearing several places in one of the reputed company’s review list. I asked her about this and was thoroughly satisfied with her honest answer. I am happy that I trusted her. Without her endeavor, I would have postponed the trip next year. Thank you Angelina and Magical Destinations Safari.
We started at Nairobi and visited Amboseli National park, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasa , Maasai Mara and Naboisho conservancy through our 9 day stay in Kenya. A very first meet and greet at the Nairobi hotel with Angelina was focused on the detailed plan of execution. Our first day was planned as a day out at Nairobi, when she and Wilson (was driving us in the city) accompanied us whole day and made sure we could visit all the places on our list. Our experience at Amboseli National park, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasa, Maasai Mara National Reserve was magical in every sense, while the one at the Wilderness camp at Naboisho was mixed. Angelina was always checking if the trip was going as planned, and eager to know if everything was good as well as anything was not good. We were out of touch with her during our stay at Wilderness as the camp didn't have Wi-Fi and we didn't have a local phone. She came to see us off at the Nairobi airport, which was again a very sweet gesture on her part. However, our overall experience in all the lodges and camps which were mostly superb, is out of the context of this review.
Angelina is very efficient and hard working. I wish all good luck to her and the staffs of the newborn company- Magical Destinations Safari. My views and opinion about Angelina and the company are strictly restricted in relation to my requirements for the trip and the challenges that I faced during the planning period. My requirements were met and the challenges resolved with Magical. I would recommend this company as a happy customer.
