Five decades of lasting memories

We have just returned from our holiday of a lifetime, the South African Safari and then on to Mauritius. Everything was unbelievable I don't think we would have wanted to change anything about it. We would like to pass on our thanks to our travel agent for understanding what we were looking for, and to Somak. The organisation that must have gone on behind the scenes to allow all our connections and transfers to have gone like clockwork is hard for us to imagine. Our first flight out of Heathrow had a two hour delay meaning we were to miss our connection to Port Elizabeth. Unbeknownst to us while we were in the air, someone somewhere was already rearranging this connection - amazing organisation. From this point on everything worked like clockwork and we didn't have a single thing to worry about. It was certainly our holiday of a lifetime.

We have just returned from a great Tanzania safari / Zanzibar holiday. The quality throughout was excellent, form the simple but vital transfers to the excellent hotels, especially the two in Zanzibar, the Serena and Z Hotel who put us in beautifully appointed and positioned rooms. Many thanks to Charles our driver guide on safari who's eyesight and knowledge was amazing and Julie the GM at the Z Hotel who's hospitality is first-class and shows throughout the hotel. I did come across 1 major fault, which is all mine. I did not book for long enough! To be corrected next time. Finally my thanks and fulsome praise to the all at Somak for a truly great holiday!

My husband and I have just returned from our holiday of a lifetime! The guides we had were absolutely great and they ensured our holiday was the best. We would like to say a HUGE "Thank You" to George, Nicholas, John and Ishmel - based at Somak in Nairobi. They never once let us down in what we asked for! We even saw 4 leopards thanks to their knowledge and skill in knowing where to look. Even the 'monsoon' on our first game drive in Samburu (in the dry season!) was so memorable and great fun. From the guides, to the vehicles and the places we stayed - we could not have enjoyed our trip more. All the staff were absolutely amazing and made our 'adventure' one we will remember forever. Thank you so much Somak. We would not hesitate to book through you again.

We had an amazing holiday. Somak managed to organise a bespoke itinerary with everything we wanted to do and within our budget. All the Somak staff in Kenya were friendly, organised and efficient so everything went very smoothly. The safari was incredible and exceeded all our expectations. It was great having a safari truck for just the 4 of us - and a much more roomy and comfortable one than many others we saw. Special mention must go to our safari guide Yusuf who was with us for the whole 5 days and was brilliant and a lovely guy to boot. He was an excellent driver on the highways and safari and so knowledgeable about all the birds and animals, and always seemed to get us the best views. All very impressed with Somak and would highly recommend.
