Absolutely amazing!! I reached out to David at the last minute when I realized I had an extra couple days in Kenya. He responded immediately and gave me multiple options. Once I picked the package I wanted, he quickly made all the arrangements. They sent someone to meet me Wilson airport in person to give me details about what to expect on my Safari and even a gift! The tour guide/driver in the Maasai Mara was outstanding! I saw the Big Five and tons of animals — all unbelievably close. I got to see a cheetah make a successful kill and a pair of lions mating. It was wild in the best way. All the logistics were handled and everything went smoothly from start to finish. My night in the Mara was truly magical. I’m already thinking of how I can get back and do it again! And for sure I will use Holiday Dealers when I do. Thank you all so much!

The Holiday Dealers are the best! Use their services if you’re thinking to plan a trip to Kenya. I started planning this trip four months from when I wanted to visit with my family (2 young kids). David and his team were instantly responsive providing excellent recommendations on where to stay and options for what to do. The Holiday Dealers showed great flexibility when our flights altered from the original plans and when we wanted to make last-minute adjustments to our trip for the final day. Every driver we had in Nairobi and the Maasai Mara was on time and considerate. Notably, I’m so thankful for going with The Holiday Dealer’s recommendation to use one of their Maasai game drivers, Stanley. Stanley was fantastic and great with our kids. He showed us so much and we learned a lot about the animals, land, and the Maasai tribe. The Holiday Dealers attention to detail is top-notch. We always felt supported and they went above and beyond to ensure this happened.
