Guest Testimonials

"The kid’s clubs for both Bertie (six) and Cordelia (three) were excellent. The staff were friendly, welcoming and highly competent. The range of activities was outstanding, and we felt confident dropping the children off each day. They both made lots of friends (including with the staff!) and have already asked to come back next year." TG

"It's clear Gina has a feel for us as people and for our requirements as holidaymakers, and that ensures that her recommendations are usually spot on, just as they were on this latest trip." SI

"The holiday overall was fantastic and the quality of hotels & service exceeded expectations. My husbands 50th birthday trip was certainly a holiday of a lifetime! The meet & greet service was amazing, very speedy service & friendly people. Our only negative comment would be the flight from Nairobi to Zanzibar on safari link, this was a wasted day, and the flight was not direct, had to stop in Mombasa take all luggage off go through security & reboard the same plane. This was very frustrating as also we had to buy new luggage specifically for this flight. I would also advise other people to get the Zanzibar visa in advance rather than at the airport as advised, this was a bit of a faff & everyone was in the same queue anyway. " JT

"The hotel was really high end while being incredibly family friendly-It felt like a boutique hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the WhatsApp for the concierge was a game changer! The Explorers Club was absolutely fantastic - brilliant staff who we felt completely confident in and brilliant facilities. The children loved it. Peter (and Mia) really listened to us and hit the brief perfectly - not too long ago flight, great climate, incredible hotel, beach, plenty of superb restaurants - we really loved the food. Warm pools, crucial! The whole holiday perfect for the kids as well as us. Our best family holiday yet! Thank you so much " JC

"Scott Dunn went above and beyond in every way. Always available in an emergency and communication was great throughout. Trip of a lifetime. We wouldn’t change a thing, except to stay longer!" SD

"Tom was wonderful from start to finish, but also his colleagues Laura and Shameem who also helped us in his absence, including navigating the tourist e-visas. The efficiency of the holiday was great, in that there was barely any wasted time. We were straight into safari off the Mara airstrip after a one night layover in Nairobi (a very comfortable night & excellent breakfast at the Tamarind Tree). The Saruni Mara lodge was perfect for us as first time Safari tourists. The staff at the hotel are simply incredible people and we cannot be thankful enough to them and also our Masai guide Diana. Food was remarkable. Our flights to Zanzibar via Nairobi Wilson worked really well and as efficiently as we could hope for (plus what an experience on a 12 seater Cessna!). The journey to Baraza was as expected and the sheer relief & delight to turn up there greeted by our lovely host Angela and see how truly exceptional the property and villas are was a great feeling! Also what food there too - every meal was delicious & thoroughly well thought through. Fantastic all round. " SM

"Rikki was fantastic in planning our trip to Nepal and India. He ensured every detail was handled with care from seamless logistics to curated experiences that matched our interests. His expertise made the entire holiday effortless and unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for better guidance and support." KS

"All the team we met in Egypt were outstanding - the drivers, Ali from Travel Index who was there at every new flight and hotel but most of all we wanted to say how brilliant Mohammad our tour guide was - he was amazingly knowledgeable but also a lovely person to spend time with, always on time and took us across every site we saw - we really enjoyed his company and he is a fabulous asset to Scott Dunn, we couldn't recommend him highly enough!"
