FANTASTIC
Booked via Secret Escapes and then Somak took over. From the time they did, I emailed almost daily to get more details about the trip (first time in Africa :-)) and I got prompt, polite and helpful answers.
The Masai Mara camp was just perfect with our driver Francis and a lovely lady Elizabeth taking us around every day. The hot air balloon was a unique experience. Everyone was just perfect. On our way to Zanzibar we stopped at the Somak lounge in Nairobi were we were warmly greated, it was clean and very comfortable. We met a manager there based in London called Justin Coles and he was also very nice and gave a lot of good information about our trip, safaris and Africa over all.
Zanzibar was the second part of our trip. There is nothing to say apart that it was perfect. The resort was lovely and the rooms and all areas of the place were spotless. Our driver Suleman was also very nice and very knowledgable. Our guide was also very nice. What else to say: it was a perfect birthday treat and I will come back with my two daughters when they are old enough and I will use SOMAK!
Thank you thank you thank you I will never forget my 40th birthday xxxxx

Travelling with you for over 25 years
I am a professional photographer and I have traveled annually to Kenya with Somak for over 25 years. Have a look at Images of Africa at www.lenzman.com There is no comparison, an excellent service from both the UK based team and all the staff in Kenya. I would not travel with anyone else. A special thanks should be awarded to Ms Barbara Lowe in the UK for her expertise and outstanding help over many years.
Safari and beach - fantastic!
My family and took a Somak holiday to Tanzania (Tent with a View) and Zanzibar (Ocean Paradise). The service was excellent - helpful advice before leaving, trouble-free travel arrangements and really great hotels. I had not heard of Somak before, but will definitely use them again and am happy to recommend them.

Superb trip organisation and excellent staff
I have travelled with Somak a number of times and each time have been impressed by all aspects of the trips. They have tailored holidays to meet my requirements in a professional and friendly manner. All pick ups/drop offs have always been absolutely punctual. Their staff on the ground in the various locations have been excellent and the locations they choose of a high standard.

Somak.A very professional safari operator, which meant the Safari was well organised and enjoyable
We very much enjoyed our Safari with Somak. Nothing was too much trouble at all stages. We arrived at the Somak Lounge in Nairobi before meeting our driver Dominic, who was excellent throughout. As it was our first Safari we were advised to go on the Cheetah Safara, which involved a lot of travelling but meant we had a lot of variation. Thanks to Dominic we saw the big five and when on our first game drive on the Masai Mara we saw Wildebeest cross the river. All the accommodation was excellent. The only disappointment was the lack of other tourists who had been put of by the security situation but there was nothing Somak could do about that. Indeed we did not feel threatened in any way. Dominic came to the rescue when I realized I had forgotten my Camera battery charger by going off to visit many shops before returning with a typical Kenyan multi functional charger, which with a bit of adjustment charged my battery. The Safari did live up to expectation and my children cant wait to go back.

Somak,the very best safari company at extremely affordable prices
I have travelled with Somak since 2000 and have never had any complaints. They are second to non for service and attention to detail. Whether you choose a set safari as shown in the brochure or go for a tailor made trip you will be delighted with the care you receive as individuals and the standard of accommodation and guides you are offered.
Could not have been bettered
Excellent service; someone always available to help and advice from initial phone call to returning home. Safari and accommodation surpassed my expectations. Will recommend Somak to all my friends and family.
