Kenya & Tanzania Friends Luxury Vacation Review: Zanzibar, Africa Safari's, Maasai Mara

In June 2018, I submitted a request through Zicasso to plan a trip to Kenya and Tanzania for my birthday in September 2019. I was matched with my trip planner of this travel team. Not having travelled to either of these countries in Africa before, I fully depended on the planner to guide me through the planning process, select tourist destinations and make lodging recommendations during the busy migration season. As travel dates, participants and preferences changed throughout the 18 months of planning, my trip planner was very flexible, helpful and timely in adjusting our arrangements to meet our wants and needs. After the final payments were made, we received our final itineraries and didn't expect to hear from the planner again during our travels. However, my planner met us in Nairobi upon our arrival and at the airport during each part of our trip during the 10 days. He constantly checked in to make sure our expectations were met and and exceeded. At the end of our vacation, we were very sad to say our goodbyes to him and our great driver as we departed back to the United States. I can't say enough good things about my trip planner and this travel team! All of our accommodations and meals at the hotel in Nairobi, Giraffe Manor of The Safari Collection, Entim Mara Camp and the Resort in Zanzibar surpassed all of our expectations. All of the drivers and guides were always on time, accommodating and friendly. Despite being the busy season, each of our boutique hotel experiences felt customized and secluded. Though a lot was invested, every penny spent on this trip was worth it and I'd do it all over again! It was truly the best international vacation my friends and I ever had. I highly recommend using this planner and travel team for travel tours, safaris and vacations in the future and look forward to working with him again! Asante!
