We had a long time dream of having a once in a life time holiday experience in the great Maasai Mara and Voyage to the Magical Africa made this possible. From the planning to reservation process James was quite helpful and prompt as well. I appreciate his efforts to ensure all our needs were accommodated. Our Camp Tipilikwani was amazing xand and the food was to die for. We are greatful to our guide Jonathan who ensured we got see all the big five and alot of beautiful land scapes. We will definitely book our next expedition with Voyage to the Magical Africa again in the near future!

Amazing trip to South coast.
I booked this trip on behalf of my family and the contact person was Jackson. He booked us in the luxurious Swahili Beach Resort between Dec 24-28 with visits to Wasini island and Shimba hills. Dani beach is beautiful. Every step of the trip was seamless. The hotel was luxurious with very hospitable staff. This is a competent and transparent tour company. Recommended!

Perfect planning and execution
James from Voyage to the Magical Africa organised our 5 nights trip to Diani beach. It was a trip funded by our company for those that met their Quarter 3 sales targets. We were a total of 12 individuals. James suggested a number of quotes with different accommodations. After considering everything, we settled on Diani Sea Resort. It's a luxury hotel that provides an all-inclusive package and has all the amenities and facilities that can make your stay there comfortable and enjoyable. Everything from planning to execution was perfect and I take this opportunity, on behalf of my colleagues to thank James and Voyage to the Magical Africa for the amazing trip.

A committed tour operator
My classmates and I had an amazing trip to Diani beach organised Voyage to the Magical Africa. James was our point of reference and he made sure that the process of planning our trip was seamless. Their representative met us at Mombasa SGR terminus and transferred us to Baobab Beach Resort, which to our surprise exceeded our expectations in matters comfort and customer service. This was a girls only trip. A trip to Wasini island was also organised by this amazing team and I lack words to describe their professionalism and customer service.
