Our trip to Kenya, organized by Joseph from KimKim, was nothing short of a dream come true. My partner and I, now happily engaged, wanted to witness the Great Migration and experience a hot air balloon ride over the breathtaking landscapes of the Masaai Mara. Joseph meticulously planned every detail, making this a trip we will cherish forever.

During our stay in the Masaai Mara, we were fortunate to have Thomas as our private game driver. His kindness and extensive knowledge of the area truly enhanced our safari experience. We stayed at the Matira Bush Camp, which exceeded all our expectations. The service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. Matira played a crucial role in organizing our engagement, arranging private cocktail drinks in the bush followed by a romantic private dinner. It was an unforgettable experience.

After the excitement of the safari, we transferred to Diani Beach for some relaxation. Our stay at the Diani Beach Resort was equally incredible, with top-notch service and a beautiful setting. We even had the opportunity to snorkel with the vibrant marine life, which was a perfect way to unwind after the adventure-packed days in the Mara.

In summary, this trip was a perfect blend of adventure, romance, and relaxation. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a memorable and personalized safari holiday in Kenya. Thank you, Joseph, and everyone who made this trip so special!

Deserts can be improved. And for the buffet, a lot of flies. Need some kind of solution. (Eg: Maybe citronells scent / fly strips to catch them.. something.)

Hi Dylan,

First of all, congratulations on your engagement! You really created an epic proposal story to remember forever and we were so happy to play a supporting role in creating the scene.

We appreciate your kind words about our planning efforts as well as the positive feedback on your lodgings and activities. Our partnerships with exceptional people throughout Africa are a big source of pride for us and we will pass along your recognition of their efforts as well. And we also recognize some areas where things could have been better and will share that feedback as well.

We hope to welcome you back to Africa sometime to create more wonderful memories (Rwanda or Uganda gorillas and chimps? Victoria Falls, Egypt, Seychelles or Mauritius?) and until then wish you all the best as you plan your wedding day to come.

Asante sana (many thanks),
Joseph
