3 day Amboseli trip was a dream I have had and it did not disappoint.
4/5

The trip was put together at short notice. Dennis our guide was a bit dis-organised at first but his enthusiasm, especially for photography, quickly overcame that. Joshua, his driver and team mate, was someone I would travel anywhere with. He was understanding of our requests regarding the on-going buzz of the radio, stopping to watch birds, and generally a most considerate man. How he negotiated the Nairobi traffic remains a mystery! Amboseli was an amazing experience. Wide open spaces. Great game viewing. Large elephant herds as promised. View of Mt Kilimanjaro would have been excellent except for the overcast weather. Will definitely go again.

I was pleased with the service and communication provided.
5/5

We were a group from an American university and our trip had lots of moving parts and expectations. The tour operator staying in good communication with me (the group leader), and our drivers always arrived early for our departures and were flexible in terms of meeting our group's needs. In addition, our drivers were knowledgeable, friendly, and they looked out for our group's best interest. I will look to work with this tour operator again.

Excellent Service and Organisation, Excellent Holiday That Exceeded Expectations
5/5

We had an incredible time, and the work and diligence of our consultant, Karina Atkinson, in providing a compelling and engaging itinerary that included suitable and comfortable accommodation despite our quite “limiting” requirements was key. (We were keen to find lodges that offered accommodation for three people staying together, or without incurring high single pax supplements, while also offering SA residents' rates.) We had several changes during the planning stage of our holiday -- dates, potential locations, and activities -- but Karina always provided timely feedback and counsel with what seemed like an almost instantaneously updated proposal. We were incredibly happy with the quality of communication, accommodation and activities provided, and we recommend Karina highly.

The consultants at most every company with which we dealt through our holiday planning stage were (bar one representative of a very high-profile company, that had been our first thought having traveled with them previously) kind, professional and diligent, and each provided great options that matched our requirements to varying degrees. We have little doubt that we would have been able to write a similar review about whomsoever had finalised our bookings, but we remain very comfortable in thinking that Karina was the best for us and that her itinerary was most suitable given our requirements and holiday desires.

The lodges and game activities each were brilliant -- each lodge perhaps a different "luxury rating" but each entirely comfortable and suitable; most importantly, they each exceeded our expectations. Most importantly, we were highly satisfied with the game rangers at each of the lodges -- Chobe Elephant Camp, Savute Safari Camp, and Saguni Safari Lodge.

I have no doubt that you will be super-satisfied with Karina's service if you deal with her.

Every moment of our dealings with Chalo Africa was an absolute pleasure. The team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our holiday. We cannot fault them on any aspect and will definitely be using them again in the future, and will highly recommend them to others!

No issues. Image Travel provided what was agreed for the agreed price
5/5

Leading up to the Safari communication was good, emails were promptly and helpfully answered. I was picked up from my hotel on time, and there were no issues with the flight to the Masai Mara. There were no changes to the agreed price and no unexpected costs.

Mara Serena lodge is very luxurious. The staff were very welcoming, food was very good, room was comfortable, sauna and gym were good and there was a nice camp fire in the evening. The lodge is on a hill so there is a good view of the reserve and there is a large variety of birds and small animals like rock hyrax and mongooses around the compound.

However, I would not recommend the Mara Serena lodge as the game drives were too short. They were 2 hours in the morning, and 3 hours in the afternoon. I've been on one previous Safari and I had 4 hour drives in the morning and evening, which makes a massive difference to the amount of ground you cover and wildlife your able to see.

Although disappointed with the length of the game drives, this is not a reflection on Image Travel who delivered everything that was agreed, with no issues. Would recommend them.
