World class service from The Holiday Dealers
From the moment of first contact The Holiday Dealers made our Kenya trip a truly amazing once in a lifetime experience:
I was determined to find a 'local' company to plan, book and deliver the most memorable Kenyan safari and beach experience as a surprise vacation for me to share with my partner. Following much research I contacted The holiday Dealers - I made the right choice!
* They listened attentively to our dreams shaping all aspects of our holiday from the outset with perfect recommendations

* In Kenya, staff went the extra mile, greeting us warmly in person, making all transfers completely slick and worry-free
* They remained in-touch throughout our holiday ensuring we were appraised of any schedule updates (it happens!)
* The overall cost of our luxurious 9-day Kenyan experience was genuinely fabulous value for money

The Holiday Dealers fully deserve our strongest recommendation for all your dream holiday needs in Kenya - special credit to David, Chris and Mercy - our advisors, guardians and supporters throughout - Asante sana!

Outstanding
My partner booked me a surprise trip to Masai Mara for 4 nights then on to Diani beach for 4 nights.
The service we received from being picked up at Nairobi airport till being dropped off at Nairobi airport was 5 star!
Attention to detail at all points of the travel and the upgrades in each 3 parts of the accommodation was 5 star luxury as part of my birthday treat!
Being met by the representative all throughout and being made to feel like royalty made my birthday feel so special!
What a company to use and would recommend to anyone!

A trustworthy company
We had an unforgettable 4-day, 3-night safari in Tanzania, where we saw the Big Five and various wild bird species. The itinerary arranged by Mountain Warrior was perfect, and we especially appreciated our guide, Victor, who took great care of us throughout the journey. He is an excellent driver, handling muddy roads with ease, and has extensive knowledge of wildlife. He kept sharing insights with us throughout the trip, enriching our experience with so much new information. We are truly grateful to him and highly recommend him as a professional guide.
Another point I would especially like to mention is that on the first day of our safari, due to bad weather, the bridge leading to the hotel had been completely flooded by rainwater. The agency arranged for us to stay at the nearest tented camp instead. Afterwards, they proactively contacted the hotel and refunded us the price difference between the two accommodations .Their handling of the situation was very sincere and considerate.
If I have chance to visit Tanzania again, I would still choose this company Mountain Warriors, I hope you will make the same choice as I did.

Excellent organization and communication.
The tour was Excellent value for money; All accommodation, food, drinks, drives, 3 boat trips, 2 Mokoro trips
We were well organised throughout the trip.
Our first lodge (Little Sable) was excellent. They did not deviate from the African safari theme, the food was wholesome and the staff were amazing. The tents had every practical thing that was needed plus a bit of "bush chic".
The 2nd Lodge (Mbamba) was rediculous. The decor was hideously out of place and impractical. It resulted in the tents being filled with silly brass ornaments and persian carpets but lacking many practical things. (lighting was impossibly dark, beds impossibly high, towels like dish cloths, no coat hangers or hooks to hang things, mirrors at the dressing table for dwarfs, no umbrellas etc etc. Each day there were hoots of laughter at the silliness of the decor.
Fortunately the setting was superb, and the staff were good. But I would not book again if Mbamba were on the itinerary. Totally out of character with the magnificent African Delta.

Accommodating and efficient
All round it was an excellent trip. The camp was very nice and much nicer than the camp we stayed at last year. The food selection was adequate and to a very high standard and maintenance of the camp and our tents was impeccable. We had excellent guide but unfortunately we had the most inclement weather that the Okavango Delta has seen in such a long time, the water level was so high that game viewing was sparse at best game sightings were very disappointing. As with all bush trips you never know what you’re going to get so we made the most of it ! We had a wonderful guide who tried his absolute best to track possible sightings. But all in all a really enjoyable trip very well organised and very well priced.

They were extremely attentive to our needs. We were very satisfied with the suggested itinerary and
We took our trip – me, my husband, and our 2-year-old son. We looked for agencies that understood our needs, especially since we were traveling with a baby. During the itinerary planning, they understood exactly what we needed and offered us a perfect trip for a child. We requested a car seat for the safari vehicle, and they readily provided one. They were incredibly considerate of us having a child with us. They suggested accommodations with children's entertainment. Everything was great. Throughout the trip, they were attentive and always available.

Domi for the win
We did a 3-day Serengeti safari with Eco Life Safaris and Tours and had a really great experience. Everything was well organised and ran smoothly, which made the whole trip easy and enjoyable.
We managed to see all of the Big Five plus plenty of other animals, which was pretty special. Our guide, Domi, was a standout—super easygoing, knowledgeable, and happy to adjust things to suit what we wanted to do.
You can tell they’re a newer company as they really put in the effort and go the extra mile for you.
Highly recommended. Just do one at least one of these Safaris in your life time, you will never regret it.

Fantastic host
For our first visit to Madagascar, Harilala from Natural Tours couldn’t have been a better choice. His communication through WhatsApp was always timely and clear. Cost for our driver and guide was very reasonable. The guide’s English was excellent and he was informative as we drove out to Andasibe national park. Harilala’s service was above and beyond when my wife’s luggage didn’t make the transfer and he picked it up and delivered it without drama! Highly recommend.

Wonderful tour with friendly and professional guides
We really enjoyed the tour to Mikumi NP. Well, at first, we needed some courage to take the local train , but all the staffs from Kihindo Safaris helped us to get back and forth safely.
We saw lots of animals, and the tour guide Patrick asked us our favorite animal, which is elephant, and showed us many elephants in the park. Of course other animals too, but it was like I was dreaming :) He explained many things about animals, so we learned a lot of knowledge as well. Patrick knew many interesting things about each animal. We could feel his passion as a tour guide and could see his love to animals. We were happy all through the tour. The weather was also nice, so it was unforgettable moment.
The food in the safari was also great. We enjoyed the food and drink there. It was excellent experience to eat while watching elephants and giraffes.
We thank to Michael, Mesiah, and Patrick . They were so kind and friendly.
