As a solo female traveller this was outstanding. From start to end the process was excellent. I had a full itinerary where I knew what was required for each area I was travelling to. I had the option of upgrading hotels f required (I didn't) and contact numbers in country. Their communication was superb... So informative. The hotels were fab... Perhaps having visited I would change next time, but however they were all brilliant. The food was so good! The drivers were very friendly, so professional and understood what we wanted to see... Ie up close on safari. All in all I was very very happy .. Such a magical holiday. Kenya, so Tanzania and Zanzibar 😍

From the moment we landed in Nairobi to the return flight we felt safe and had the best time ever. The pick up was great with a personable team then the guide John for our tour was exceptional! So informative and knowledgeable, he taught us not only about the game drive stuff but also the cultural things in Kenya which was amazing! We were very lucky to have the driver to ourselves so was even more memorable as we tailored most days with him directly. I did unfortunately get very unwell on day 3 but had to keep moving but even then John was so supportive and attentive. I would highly recommend the Hakuna Matata tour particularly in June as the grass looks great and the range of animals was way more diverse than we could ever have wished for - we got lucky every single day! Would highly recommend Sights Travel

Just back from our second trip with Sights Travel, this time the Hakuna Matata Safari. It was brilliant. The trip was easy to book. The trip itself was great - all the accommodation, food, guides, tours, were fabulous. Special mention must go to our guide, Odhis, who took care of everything for us.

Safari of 10day duration was very well managed throughout. Airport pick ups and drop at the hotel was very well managed. It was so well arranged that all we had to do was turn up in the lobby at afore mentioned time. Hand over between Safari drivers in Tanzania and Kenya was excellent. The drivers stayed with us until all immigration and custom clearance was completed. On top they were very friendly and very helpful. Following the Safari we travelled to Uganda. Once again all the arrangements were well executed. All in all it was a fantastic experience for my adult children and nieces. Well done to Sights Travel

We had an amazing adventure, Kenya and Tanzania. The whole trip was well organised, we didn't have to worry about anything, just turn up. We had two amazing drivers for our safari, Sam and Israel. The camps and all the people we met along the way were excellent. This isn't a relaxing holiday, its a real adventure, exactly what we wanted. Can't recommend highly enough. We will definitely be using Sights Travel again.

We visited three countries in Africa with Sights Travel each one had very good, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guides. The hotels they booked us in were amazing. Our trips were fabulous. Would definitely use Sights Travel again. Everything went smoothly from start to finish.

Hadn’t heard of Sights travel so was nervous about booking - but I needn’t have been! Catherine and other staff were extremely helpful before & after booking and I had a wonderful time! Most of the trip it was just me and a couple, also another couple for some of the time. Our guides in both Kenya & Tanzania were excellent and we had some extremely memorable sightings in both countries. Most of the hotels, lodges and camps were great - even being woken by a Cape buffalo right outside my tent in the middle of the night didn’t faze either me or the buffalo!!

Sights Travel made sure we had the honeymoon to remember. We booked a beach holiday in Mombasa and safari in 3 national parks. They would always respond promptly if I had any queries or questions about the trip. They had also let everyone know we were celebrating and the hotels made up beautiful displays and little gifts. We had the most amazing holiday and made so many memories. We can't wait to book our next holiday with Sights Travel. Anyone who books a holiday with them will not be disappointed.

I would like to thank Sights Travel for the most amazing holiday in Kenya you exceeded my expectations everything was absolutely perfect, the accommodation Diamonds at Diani was just amazing fantastic friendly staff who couldn't do enough to help you, and well the food was just outstanding but that was the beach not what I came to Kenya for, on to my Safari my guide is likley one of the best in Kenya Lynus @sightssafari what can I say he was warm friendly right from the moment we met him we were lucky just my husband and I with Lynus for our 4 full days he was outstanding he took us on the best game drives we could ever ask for around the 3 parks his knowledge of the animals and birds was phenomenal, we so the most amazing sights the big 5 just missed the Rhino as they were just released into the park as we left, but some of the highlights 11 Lion cubs, a colition cheetah kill not for the faint hearted but a once in a life time experience, and the most majestic Elephants Zebra buffalo, but what was amazing was seeing this beautiful country and wow is it beautiful, met the Masi tribe and watched them moving there herd to Tanzania, I saw tiny villages and lots of children and all the investment from the chinese into there motorway to help connect Tsavo to Amboseli. Honestly, sights travel from booking to end of my holiday you were amazing, your app was so informative before i left but on my travel days it just got better you gave clear updates about my flights and gates you were just perfect, I will recommend you to everyone and will be booking will you again as you made mine and my husbands dreams become a reality....tip to anyone coming on Safari bring sweeties, lollies for the village children

A well planned programme with John, our excellent driver and guide. We used top class hotels in Nairobi and the excellent Kibo Safari camp in Amboseli. The sightings were remarkable. The flight from Mara back to Nairobi in 45 minutes was well worth the extra cost.

We have just returned from the most fantastic safari in Kenya. Sights Travel did a fantastic job in arranging everything and the whole trip was wonderful. The accommodation was superb and nothing was too much trouble for our Guide. For us, this was the dream holiday. The wildlife of Kenya is magical.
