Fantastic holiday in Kenya, carefully planned with consideration to budget, interests & mix of ages
After looking at many travel companies who specialise in Kenya, we went with Lets Go Travel Uniglobe and were pleased we did. Alan and Simon were patient with our requests and questions, and put together a fabulous 3 centre trip that covered all we hoped for, and much more.
First we went north to Il Ngwesi to the Eco Lodge and met wonderful people, and enjoyed gorgeous countryside. We saw many animals there we didn't expect to, with the help of the excellent and kind guide James - we saw elephant, rhino, giraffe etc. and birds, tress and flowers all new to us.
Then we flew to Entim in the Masai Mara, again a wonderful lodge with gorgeous tents, considerate and smiling staff, great location by the river and a wonderful guide (John) who somehow took us to see (close up) many beautiful animals - too many to mention, but I will never forget the lions, hippo, gibbons and crocodile - all together at the river. Entim has great jeeps wth open sides - so much better than a little minibuse or enclosed jeep with pop up roof.
We then flew south to Diani Beach to the boutique and conservation-savvy Sands at Nomad. At first this hotel looks fairly ordinary, the entrance is nothing spectacular - but as you go further into the grounds and see the gorgeous beach, the gardens, the pool and the restaurant on the beach - you realise this is relatively small, but very special. We were fascinated to visit the hotel's Marine Centre - do visit, wherever you are staying. It is free and the staff are working hard to save marine species in danger and the coral reef, and also to enforce less use of plastics. The Sands is a plastic free hotel - which we applaud.
I would not hesitate to use Lets Go Travel Uniglobe if I travel to Africa again. Every moment of our trip was perfect, and we left inspired and excited to have discovered a small part of the beautiful country of Kenya.

This trek was a once in a lifetime experience for us.
We were very pleased with the whole experience. The accommodations were better than expected, the food was great, and our tour guide / driver was exceptional. Emmy made sure every step of the way that we were getting the fullest experience. We had a most memorable trip. Simon at Uniglobe Travel did an excellent job of setting up our tour and communicating with us in the US before our arrival in Nairobi. This was not our first trip with Uniglobe, and it will not be our last!

Uniglobe was professional and accommodating -- a pleasure to work with!
Simon Njuguna gave us a number of options within our price range, with detailed information about each and very clear instructions about how to proceed with making our booking, including flights, payment plan, etc. We had a wonderful experience in the Masai Mara at Basecamp Masai Mara -- beautiful natural and cultural experience of the Mara. Thanks for all your assistance in making it happen, Simon!

Great personal service and planning
Booking our "safari of a lifetime" was so easy with Esther and Alan at UNIGLOBE Let's Go Travel, they listened to our needs and came up with several options. The hard part was choosing between the amazing properties recommended! As a group of 6 adults all living in different cities we really liked the interactive itinerary link that had all the details of the safari including charter air, hotel and transfers. Esther and Alan were always prompt in returning emails despite the 11 hour time difference between us! Even last minute additions while we were travelling were not a problem at all!
The safari itself was amazing, each property was unique and gave us a wonderful introduction to Kenya. The service, food, and people at each property made the trip extra special. Travel between each property was seamless, professional and on time. This being our first trip to Kenya we truly felt taken care of every step of the way!
We highly recommend UNIGLOBE Let's Go Travel!

Easy, very professional and service minded. Replied quickly which was much appreciated.
We had a great experience with UNIGLOBE as travel partner. The service was straightforward and staff (Simon) very helpful and service minded. We got help with our questions and felt well taken care of during our trip. I would definitely recommend UNIGLOBE to others.

Nothing but praise for Let's Go Travel, Nairobi, Kenya; knowledgable, efficient and polite staff.
After initial effort to reach the company through the website, I had a friend connect me with the agency in Nairobi. Originally worked with Petronilla, who I understand has moved to another agency. Would like to applaud Mark Manyim who picked up the file and concluded it with grace and efficiency. They helped us design a specific itinerary, as I was originally from Kenya and wanted to see certain sites in and around the Capital City, as well as visit Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Aberdare National Park. We travelled in a land cruiser with Jimmy Nzomo as our driver and guide - what a wonderful man and brilliant driver - we enjoyed his knowledge and company immensely, and again would like to applaud him for his work. We felt we became friends with the staff and visited the office upon our return to Nairobi.

Easy booking and very good communications
Esther at Let's Go handled our booking and did a perfect job getting us exactly the dates and location we wanted. The price was also better than what was publicly available on the booking websites. Thanks so much!

Brilliant Safari camp, sarova Mara was our choice, glampng accommodation in own private area.
Had private guide, a Masai warrior. Only 2 groups in car. Open roof and sides. Saw lots of animals, up close and personal to some. Saw the migration crossing, the only group to find it. Also saw elephants and zebra crossing too. Also only group to get close to cheetahs, and Serbil cat. Very impressed with staff at camp, couldn't do enough for us. Lots of food, picnic lunch provided and champagne breakfast on our own last morning, all included. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

very pleasant experience
Our tour operator Simon was very helpful to provide the offers and all explanations necessary. Also the optional we asked as extra bed were all fulfilled without additional charge. The safari lodge was above expectations, we ahd a car only for us and a masai guide very attentive and helpful. Really a good experience which we will never forget.
