Excellent - Tranquillising Experience
Jumbo and Sopa to All
Trip was 5 Days 4 Nights: Nairobi | Masai Mara |Lake Nakuru booked with Magical Retreats.
Overall experience was great.. except minor issues during Nairobi stay. High Appreciation to Ms Pamela for diligent handling.
Our Companion / Guide - Moosa alias Mr Livingstone Msagha was Excellent.
Imp advise - No point visiting Lake Nakura if you have visited Masai Mara, Nakuru is an fenced park and has nothing much to see as such.
Magical retreats were great and would recommend everyone visiting Kenya. ( Have started endorsing them to all my friends)

Marvellous bush tour....
Me and my friend Sudhen Pai took the safari from Oct 2nd to 7th, 2016. I should confess that it was much more thrilling than what we had anticipated. Pamela and the driver, Daniel met us at our hotel in Nairobi and we proceeded to Masai. We had opted for budget accommodation at Mara sidai camp. Evening we visited Masai village and interacted with the tribesmen. Next whole day was the safari. We could see almost all the wild animals, including a feeding Cheetah, lions, hyena, elephant, hippos, giraffe s and off course thousands if not more of gazelles, wildebeest and zebras..being a keen bird watcher, I had seen many varieties , but then we couldn't spare much time for them..next day we covered Lake Naivasha and Nakuru. Its a paradise for bird watchers. Our last destination was samburu, where we stayed at the posh Samburu Sopa lodge. The resort was fantastic including the stay, bar and the restaurant. The safari at samburu was phenomenal in terms of birds and animals. We could see the reticulated girafe, grevy's zebra, guinea fowl, hornbills, lions, cheetah in hunting mode , leopards etc. We headed back to Nairobi and had a lunch at the famous Seven sea grills at ABC mall where we could meet the celebrity chef Kiran Jethwa. All the while, our driver Daniel was enthusiastic. Maybe, if u need bird watching, you should inform earlier to get a guide who is well versed with them . Pamela visited us again and asked us about the trip. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and we didn't have any hiccups whatsoever during the whole trip. Would recommend Magical retreats to anyone. Happy safari !

Brilliant experience with Magical Retreat in Masai Mara, Nakuru
I visited Kenya recently (Oct 2016) along with my wife and 2 kids. I booked my holiday for 5 days in Masai Mara & Nakuru thru Magical Retreat and was the best tour operator I have met so far. Pamela was so flexible and accommodative to all my requests right from my initial discussions with her which started 6 months prior to my holiday until booking the accommodations of my choice making it 100% customized. The accommodation, food, safari vehicle was way beyond expectations. A big thanks to our guide Peter who drove us right from Nairobi airport, all thru the safari in Mara, Nakuru until we were dropped back safely on the last day to the airport. He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife in Africa and did not give us a chance to miss the BIG FIVE. Its been a week since we came back and still talking about the trip just because the Magical Retreat crew made us so comfortable and memorable. I have already started to recommend my contacts (and highly recommend anyone) about Magical Retreat as the place to book who are interested to visit Kenya sooner or later. The pricing was just unmatchable when I compared with other tour operators (both in Nairobi and India). We also did a hot air balloon safari in Mara (booked thru Magical Retreat) and has been the best safari in our lives so far. Thanks a lot Pamela for taking care of everything requested...you guys are Awesome....coming back to Nairobi is back on our bucket list :-)
Thanks again and we'll keep in touch!

One of the Best experience for the first timers.
Magical retreat gives an amazing service.. the tour guide which was provided was outstanding and the safari was completely same as mentioned. they dont have any hidden charges and is cheap as well as is worth the money. if anyone is looking for a safari and is a newbie then they really should go for them. plus the biggest advantage is that their safari is a private safari which is best for group of friends or if family is going.. should try it for sure..

Magical experience
We were a group of four who booked a four night five day safari with Magical Retreats & Adventure Tours. Although we did a fairly last minute booking ( just a week before we actually arrived in Kenya), Pamela did a great job of organising our booking as per our requirements. She was very helpful and patient while we figured what we wanted and then confirmed everything in double quick time. Our guide/driver Livingston was also very professional and good with the details of all the areas we visited.
I would definitely recommend Magical Retreats to anyone who wants to visit Kenya.

Lifetime Experience Of Masaimara Safari
Kudos to Ms Pamela for organising and arranging Masaimara safari for me & my wife in September 2016 for 3 days and 2 nights. Our guide and driver was Musaga who was a very amiable person and conversing with him english was pleasant. Our accommodation and food in Mara Sopa Lodge was fairly lavish. Even vegetarian guests will not face any problem.The 2 day game drives were exhaustive and very satisfying. We have seen all the animals found in Masaimara except the elusive Leopard. I thank Magical retreats & its team for making our Safari so fruitfull. I would also mention that I had sent 50% of the total value of the tour 4 months in advance of the tour but since Ms Pamela kept a constant contact on WhatsApp & email it kept on reassuring that my money was safe.

Safari in Kenya
Magical Retreats really helped make this dream come true. Pamela helped me patiently and politely to organize all aspects of our trip even though it was very last minute. Our safari driver/ guide, Charles, was always on time, very polite and we managed to see almost all the animals in the Masai Mara. I highly recommend this agency.
