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 !

They are very efficient, friendly and helpful.
We had a very nice experience with Magical Retreats. From airport pick up to drop, the communication and service was very good. The personal touch in every aspect is really amazing! Safari at Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara was really good with whole day and early morning drives. Catering to the customers needs according to their budget is one the plus point too.

Amazing experience!
We had an incredible time in Kenya on our trip planned by Pamela. Everything was perfectly organized and it was a hassle and stress free experience. Pamela met us directly at our hotel in Nairobi with our driver Akbar, and he then took us to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara over the span of 5 days. Akbar was extremely friendly and kind, and a true expert who showed us the most breathtaking wildlife and landscapes. He was patient and answered all of our questions and was very personable. Pamela coordinated all of our travel, hotel stays, and activities including a hot air balloon safari, and chartered flight to our next destination in Diani. We were very impressed with her attention to detail, reliability, quick communication, and eagerness to help. Before she planned our trip she asked questions about our budget, length of stay, and desired activities and was able to accommodate all we wanted in those areas and more. We definitely recommend traveling to beautiful Kenya with the assistance of Pamela and Akbar.

Perfect Experience
Communication form beginning was very clear and was smooth booking to start with .
we were picked up from our hotel on time and started our trip to MasaiMara.
Peter our driver was so nice, he made regular stops for us to use the toilet and he advised us were to do the shopping as there is many souvenir shops around.
Hotel that were booked were amazing , really five star, safe and some of them.had lots of animals walking around.
We also arrangeed for Baloon Ride which i highly recommend anyone to do.It is pricy but really worthwhile.
This company has no jeeps but it has like a mini van which has roof that opens. it is safe and while in mara our driver opened the roof so we were able to take nice pictures and enjoy the drive.
The driver has a radio so he will be able to hear where animals are and take you there.
We went in August and we didnt get to see the rhinos but everything else we did.
Over all i do highly recomend them.
We were 2 girls and i have to say we felt super safe.

Truly magical!
Pamela and Magical Retreats organized and executed an amazing tour for our group. We had 40 people who support a girls school in Kibera that were coming to visit a new boarding facility and the school. Magical retreats did an excellent job coordinating all the lodging, transportation and special events for the visit. They also coordinated engagements in so many other exciting and fascinating tourist venues in Nairobi. It all went off without a hitch! Exceeded expectations. Thank you Pamela!!

Customer focused!
My family had a fantastic experience on our safari. We were mostly concerned with ensuring we had a tour
Operator that was trustworthy and reliable, and Pamela ended up exceed our expectations in so many ways. Our drivers were knowledgeable and fun, we built a strong bond with them (to the point that my son still talks about our driver!). Pamela went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves, and gave us parting gifts so we would never forget our time in Kenya. She is trustworthy and invested in your vacation, making sure it is memorable. I would use her again if I went back to Kenya.

Pamela's a Kenyan Wonder!!!
Our guide Pamela has been extremely respectful and responsible about catering to the needs of all age groups in our team starting from 8- 94 years. It gas to be mentioned that Peter is an excellent driver. He alongside Pamela has looked into every detail of our comfort and sight seeing. A special mention for Eric who's become my 8 year old son's hero who showered him with gifts and has been a pillar single handedly to an entire family of ailing tourists. I wish all of them the best in all their endeavors and would look forward to their company for our Serengeti trip soon!!!
