Just returned from a Safari trip to Kenya followed by a beach holiday in Zanzibar, Tanzania for a bucket list trip for my 50th Birthday and it was beyond awesome all thanks to Chris and the Safari Partners. Travelled July 05-15, 2015. Chris put together a package for us to stay at the Encounter Mara Safari Camp located in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy in the Masai Mara National Reserve for 5 days and then 5nts at Dreams of Zanzibar in Tanzania. What i liked the most about The Safari Partners was that they took care of everything for us. From our internal flights, being met by a representative everywhere along the way and transferred between airports and hotels/camp, our accommodations, meals, tours, including safaris and it was flawless. I’d like to think of myself as a travel guru having been a travel agent for the past 33 years and having travelled around the world but even I would have been a little bit intimidated by both Nairobi and Zanzibar had we not had someone to meet us and take us to our hotels. So Kudo’s to Chris and his team for having such a vast knowledge of Africa and setting up a great network of reliable suppliers and people to smooth the way for his guests. The Encounter Mara Camp now operated by Asilia Africa was out of this world excellent. The Service and experience was Top Notch from the management team of Sammy, Moses & Andrew, our Guide Wilson and all the staff at the Camp. Every single employee in that camp could not do enough for you, it was humbling. Their attention to every detail was incredible, and beyond all of my expectations. Our guide Wilson was excellent as I’m sure all of their guides are but we felt very fortunate to have Wilson as our guide. His knowledge of the area and all of the animals and birds was incredible and we had great drives everyday under his tutelage and saw more animals then I could ever have imagined up close and personal. It is not an experience that I will soon forget. Our beach holiday at Dreams of Zanzibar following our Safari was also a great way to cap of a Trip of Lifetime. All and All this trip is rated 10 out of 10 in my books and I hold The Safari Partners responsible for that and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and hope to send more business their way by also recommending to my clients whenever possible. Thanks Chris for all of your help and making it happen !! Link to This Review
