Kenya, Tanzania, Seychelles Luxury Travel Review: 18-Day Trip

We just returned from an absolutely amazing trip to Kenya, Tanzania, and the Seychelles. It was more than we ever hoped for and we were thrilled from beginning to end.

For us, the trip was all about animals. We saw many of every type and in very different environments. The safari guides were knowledgeable, very capable, and fun to spend the days with. The guided trips were active, fulfilling, and unlike anything we have ever done before. The accommodations were spacious, clean, more luxurious than we were expecting, and each unique in its own way. The food was delicious and the service extremely friendly and enjoyable. It could not have been better.

The resort in the Seychelles was amongst the most picturesque in the world. The beach was exquisite and the suites were spacious and beautifully appointed. This type of beach getaway was what we were hoping for at the end of our active safari trip.

Our Zicasso travel partner guided us from the initial planning, through the preparations, and with follow-up shortly after our return. We had many questions and she responded to all of them, demonstrating her knowledge of the specifics of where we were going. She confidently and wisely steered us toward traveling in a less peak period to minimize crowds on the safari portion of our trip, chose stellar accommodations, and met with us a number of times, including several weeks before our departure. She diligently checked and rechecked our visas, health requirements, and paperwork, assuring we would have no hiccups. She chose a very sound operator on the ground for the safaris, one with whom we felt confident and who helped guide us throughout. She also followed up with us after our return for honest feedback on all aspects, which no other agent has done before.

Overall, we were very happy with our trip due to our travel agent and her team's knowledge and attentiveness. We would gladly recommend her and will consider using her again when we venture to Africa.
