Thank you very much for
a lovely trip and all your very good work with the arrangement.It
has been a pleasure communicating with you from the start. To always
receive the information we have asked for and also very quick. The
planning about seeing the Wilderbeast Migration crossing
the Mara River has been very good and we have seen
everything. Thanks for the wine in Naivasha.We finally reached
Copenhagen (had a lot of delay and rebooking in Brussels).

Thankyou for following up with us on our safari - I must say it was a fabulous trip, in every way surpassing my already high expectations. As you know, travelling to Africa has been a dream of mine and I desparately wanted it all to go well which is why I choose your company, but I was still feeling nervous that something might not go as per plan, after all we would be on a long 2 week safari afterall..but barring very minor issues, it was a beautiful experience I will cherish the rest of my life. Thanks for all the planning and arrangements , and also pass my best to our driver Paul who took such good care of us throughout the trip.
And the minor issues ?? Well, just the time it took to get to some of the parks because of the poor state of the roads, so next time I'd probably take a flight to some of the parks and have Paul receive us there..and I wasnt too happy with the Hilton hotel especially compared to the Holiday Inn at the same price [almost] but this was just for the night anyway and these are like I said minor issues. I must say the lodges and all the other accommodation however was marvelous ! Especially loved the Larsens Camp in Samburu at the end of our safari.
Thanks again for all the work Mary - we'll be back to Kenya for sure ! |

Dear Ashmira, Thanks for your email. Our trip was superb...magical...much beyond what I really expected ! It would not have been so without the contribution of all of you -- Mary, you and Sanjay. Your efforts in making our trip a "once in a lifetime" kind of experience went beyond the call of duty. Truly, we could not have asked for more. Please also thank Peter [ driver guide] on our behalf and wish him and his family a wonderful 2009 ! |

Just to let you know that our safari was very nice. Our driver guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The journey to the Mara was somewhat unplesant due to the state of the roads ! Hopefully they will improve. I will contact Shoor again should we do another trip. |

Ashmira, I just wanted to drop a line to express all our thanks for the smooth and efficient way you organised our trip. The slight hiccup when the Air Kenya flight from Mara was delayed was dealt with very efficiently and with minimum fuss. With hindsight we should have tried to get out of the airport on the final day between the transfer from Mombasa and the flight out which was not until midnight. Fortunately we had access to the lounge so it was ok. Say our thanks to Peter as well ! |

We had an incredible experience on safari. My uncle who has been on numerous safaris thorughout Africa said it was the best lion viewing he had ever seen. We were very lucky ! We had a tremendous time with the Mara Simba lodge and the best part of our safari was Paul our driver. He was very easy to be around and very knowledgeable. We have already recommended your company to some of my family who may be travelling to Kenya in the fall - thanks again ! |

Planning went well. The safari was great
and everything worked out well, even with a sick vehicle on one day,
which Peter sorted out without any inconvenience - it was part of
the adventure. All lodges were good. The balloon ride was magical.
Mombassa Serena Beach was an excellent hotel with service higher
than anywhere I have seen in the world. Everyone talked to you and
welcomed you. Nairobi was unfortunately the anti climax - our
suggestion to do two days here, but would have preferred an extra
two days in Mombassa. Never mind. Overall and excellent and
memorable trip - thoroughly recommend your assistance and Peter's to
make it a memorable trip.Will definitely talk to you about arranging
another trip - perhaps Serengeti and Mombassa in about two years
time.
Thanks. Peter Wilcock |

The safari tour was great, we really
enjoyed the Masai Mara and especially the company of Harrison. He is
a perfect guide with great knowledge of the places we visited and
the animal behaviours. We will definitely suggest the Shoor Travel
agency to our friends.
Best wishes,
Paolo |

I , Bangyun Yoo, have just returned
Seoul from Yohanesburg after my trip with my wife.During
my Africa trip, I enjoyed my best pleasure from
Oct. 5th to Oct. 7th on Masai Mara game drive.It was
completely by your good arrangement and cooperation,
especially by your very nice guider(driver) Mr. Alfred.
My trip became much better by his good guide. Now I expect I
will come to Kenya for Masai Mara and Ambosseli Safari and
etc. with my family children together in near future, and
then I want to have also another your arrangement.Further, I
want to recommend your company to many my friends who want
to have Africa Safari tour.Thanking you again your good company

It will be very difficult to express in
words but I can just say the trip has been fantastic! I am very
pleased with the whole trip organization and especially Putta, he is
very sharp, skilled, excellent driver and a good human being!Special
thanks to you and your team, Only one suggestion – Amoboseli Sopa
lodge was bit far away from the park! But rest was just
fantastic.
Cheers, Amey

Just returned from my trip. I was
going to email you anyway to say I had a great time. The Serena
Lodge was excellent and in a great location. Managed to see a big
river crossing but in spite of extra drives didn't really much of
the cats which was a bit disappointing.
Anyway thanks for all
your help and if I am going that way again I will contact
you.
James. |

Chris and I enjoyed our safari. We
had a great experience and will pass
on a lot of positive
feedback to future customers. The only negative piece of feedback
would be the method in which we
processed our credit cards.
One of us had our credit card compromised and was used
fraudulently Regards,

I would like to thank everyone
at Shoor for a wonderful safari. My brother and I had a
fantastic time. Harry was a great driver--very knowledgable,
very friendly, always on time. We couldn't have asked for a
better driver.
Thanks again. Eric |

Thanks so much for your email. Thank you as
well, for taking our call from the Wilson airport. Without
seeing anyone, of course, I became worried we would miss our
connecting flight. But your driver was there after we spoke,
and quickly shuttled us to the international airport. It was
nice to know you were available!
As well--the short safari was amazing. The
camps selected were definitely worth the money we paid. I know
that we had a bunch of trouble confirming Tortilis for only one
night, and that led to many emails from me to Kristeen (I am sure
she is happy she is done with us). But it was worth it. I will definitely use Shoor again if we come to
Kenya, which I hope will be soon.
Thank you again, Ashmira.

Sorry it took us a while to reply, but we
were getting used to our jet lag and also preparing one of our
daughters' for college. As per our trip to Kenya with Shoor--it was
one of our best experiences. You organised our trip very well--our
accomodations were very nice and the itenary was great. Best of all,
Peter was a great driver and guide. We got a lot of
information/knowledge from Peter. Our daughters came for the first
time to Kenya and they had such a wonderful time that they are
planning on coming again in the future. We would definitely be
recommeding Shoor to anyone who wants to visit Kenya.
Suggestion: It would have been less
stressful if we had received the copies of the vouchers for the
hotels indicating that we were safely booked. Having said that, once
we met Peter at the airport, we knew everything will be fine. (It
was the worry of the unknown). You are welcome to give our e-mail
address for references. Please thank Sanjay for us too Regards,Jayesh and
Amita |

From the
Group:
The Shoor Travel Safari experience is one I will
remember for a long time to come. The hotel ccommodations were
top-notch, the people were extremely polite and helpful and the
safari itself was incredible. Thank you so much for setting up such
a great adventure for my friends
and I. It was well worth
it!!!
Only suggestion I would have is to have a guide-book of
some sort that you can hand out to us that would explain each
location we are going to and the parks we'll be visiting.
That's a great souvenir to take back and a great way to remember the
names of all the places we visited.
Thank you again for a
phenomenal experience. I will recommend your
company to all my
friends and family!!!
Regards,
James

Thank you, yes we have all returned home

I was going to email to say how impressed
I was with Shoor Travel. Everything was so smooth, from the airport
pick up to the whole safari. We were all so impressed with Harrison
our guide. He was such a great person and really made our trip
memorable.
Could you please pass our thanks onto
Harrison. He really made the trip brilliant!!!! I will definately
recommend the company to others. My Mum & Dad also thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks so much. |
