Excellent safari in Kenya, well organised by the team at Lets Go Travel!
My wife and I have enjoyed a recent safari in Kenya through Lets Go Travel. The arrangements were perfect and we really enjoyed the trip and the variety it gave us. Esther made all the arrangements for us and our driver for the first 3 days, Robert, was great company and a really informative guide. Great first experience in Kenya and also on safari - we saw a lot of nature !!

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!

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!

Magical Kenya trip with old and new friends.
Arrival at Kenyatta Airport late in the evening was a shambles. Immigration took nearly 2 hours and the wait was totally unnecessary. Travellers should always be advised to apply for their visa online (eVisa) as the queue is much shorter. Only 3 staff at the desks for a jumbo jet of over 300 passengers!
Fairview Hotel was very disorganised on our arrival and did not seem to know whose booking related to which rooms. My 15 year daughter ended up on a ground floor single room, feeling very vulnerable. I slept in there instead, and she shared with her dad. It was freezing and I only had one sheet, so I slept fully clothed (with warm coat). Our 3 rooms were spread all round the hotel which made sorting luggage and clothes tricky. Breakfast was a highlight and set us up for the next day of travel. I would recommend 2 nights there if arriving late in the evening.
Booking of internal flights and hotels by an Kenya operator made the trip very straight forward.
The rest of the trip was brilliant. Favourite place was Lewa Downs - amazing in every way.. Samburu Intrepids needs a bit of an upgrade - the truck are very old now and the food is a little above average. Kitchwa Tembo was magical - as we previously experienced, although the electric fence was broken and the camp was invaded by a large elephant on several nights, a little disturbing, especially as there is a known pride of 16 lion just outside the camp ... which we saw from our trucks. This needs to be rectified.
Love Kenya - can't wait to be back. Thank you.

Great city-daytour on our way home from Africa
My friend and I had a 24h stopover in Nairobi on our way back home from Zambia. We decided that we should spend the day on a city-tour, so that our day in Nairobi was not wasted. The tour-suggestion we got fra Simon had really good variety and with interesting spots. We were met by our excellent driver James at the airport, and he took us to Karen, UNEP HQ, city centre, Kenyatta twr, and then back home to our airport hotel. I would absolutely recommend James, Simon and UNIGLOBE! :-)

REFRESHES THE PARTS OTHER TOUR OPERATORS CANNOT REACH
Yet again, top service from Lets Go Travel. Particular thanks to Paula Okello for all her efforts and her ongoing efficiency in making light work of potentially complex arrangements. Good documentation for the various components of the trip made life easy for the travellers (my wife and her sister-in-law from Australia). Definitely to be recommended.
