Hallmark Travel Planners is professional, knowledgeable, service oriented, friendly and world class
Levis from Hallmark Travel Planners was our key contact. We started our planning with Levis ~3 years ago and due to COVID, our trip was delayed. Levis (and his team) are truly world class, were timely with all our questions via email and were extremely friendly & service oriented. When you begin the daunting process of selecting the travel company you want to work with, it was not easy and after significant online research...my wife and I decided on Hallmark. We could not be more pleased! Our 3 week trip to Egypt, Rwanda and Kenya was truly magical. All small details were executed on flawlessly and we highly recommend Hallmark Travel Planner! If you are looking for a personalized experience with top notch attention to detail, Levis is your guy. Levis was always very open and honest with us, and shared all the needed details to assist our planning. He helped us better understand all the COVID policies for each country, process to follow to secure our visas and all other required travel documents. My wife and I really value the service Levis provided and his insight greatly brought us a "peace of mind" in knowing we had a true partner helping us plan our trip, not simply a vendor who was checking the box and taking our money. Levis proactively offered supplemental info to help us plan, listened to all our needs and then helped us design the trip that matched our "trip of a lifetime!". Simply a wonderful experience and we highly recommend Levis and Hallmark Travel Planners. Chris & Liz Van Anne from Colorado, USA

Spectacular Honeymoon Trip!
Hallmark planned an unforgettable honeymoon for my wife and I this past September! We spent 5 days on Safari in Maasai Mara and Serengeti parks and a week at Diani Beach on the coast. Levis was incredibly helpful and easy to work with in designing the perfect itinerary for us and made sure that we were well taken care of during our trip. Both safari guides were super personable and friendly and the accommodations were fantastic. We even had the added bonus of seeing Nairobi during our layover on our way back and having dinner with Levis and his wife (a great personal touch!) I HIGHLY recommend Hallmark travel to anyone looking to plan their trip to eastern Africa!

Second amazing Safari courtesy of Hallmark
This was the second time choosing Hallmark to organise our Safari. After our first time in Febuary 2018 we were extremely happy with how it all went we had no hesitation for Levi's to organise our next safari to Tanzania. Once again Levi's did not disappoint, everything from the email correspondence to the actual safari went smoothly. We did have 1 last minute change of accommodation halfway into it but the replacement accommodation was very acceptable. Both our guides were brilliant once again. We requested to have one of the same guides(Freddy) as last time as we due to the great experience we had then.
Thanks Again Levis

We had some amazing guides and drivers who exceeded our expectations.
Levis was exceptional in his communications with us. We had an amazing safari experience thanks to the team he put together for our safari. We had to make some changes to our itinerary and they accommodated those changes. Would highly recommend Levis and Hallmark Travel Partners.

An Amazing African Adventure Planned and Guided by an Amazing Travel Company
I spent over a year in email communication with Levis Omondi at Hallmark Travel Planners as we planned our African trip. I had frequent questions which Levis answered promptly and with great patience. He was everything a travel planner should be--he listened to my thoughts regarding what my husband and I were looking for in a safari to Kenya and offered suggestions. He gave great guidance, but never pushed his own ideas on us. Levis was also extremely helpful when we wanted to extend our trip to Zambia to see Victoria Falls. The itinerary we came up with was exactly what we were looking for and the results once we arrived in Nairobi were spectacular. Our driver and guide was Anthony who was cheerfully waiting for us at the airport. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw as many different animals and birds as possible. Anthony was very flexible and willing to modify the itinerary for better game viewing. He was always on top of where the best chances were to see particular animals and did his best to get us to those spots. We are fortunate to be able to say we saw all of The Big Five. He was an excellent driver and informative guide. Our trip exceeded our expectations, in large part due to Levis and Anthony. We would not hesitate to recommend Hallmark Travel Planners.

Easy and fabulous
We decided on a last minute (a little over 1 month) safari trip. From the moment we landed until our departure airport, all the details were covered. We traveled Victoria Falls, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and finished with a day hike on Kilimanjaro. Our guides were courteous, safety minded, and unbelievably knowledgeable. Richard and Ray always had an answer for every question. Trip of a lifetime.

Memorable adventures in and around Nairobi
We booked through Hallmark Travel Planners for two day trips around Nairobi - one to hike Mount Logonot and one to Hell's Gate and Lake Navaisha. We had a wonderful experience both times - our driver Maklus was adept at skillfully driving to and from Nairobi and our guide Gabriel was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, caring and patient. Some of us were recovering from some illness before our Hell's Gate tour and Hallmark & our guides were very accommodating and flexible, changing our schedule to let us still see much of what we had intended, but in a less physically taxing way.
Thank you to Hallmark, Gabriel, and Maklus for some wonderful adventures! I would definitely book with them again - everything was taken care of and went very smoothly, and the itineraries were well thought out and enjoyable.
