Nairobi Tour Packages

I am quite satisfied with the support and overall co-ordination that TravelTriangle affiliate [HolidayBox] with its Seychelles counterpart [7Degrees] provided. We did a 6N/7D trip of Seychelles [Stay] Day01 - AirBnB (self) accomodation Day02 - Praslin Berjaya 3 Star Day 03 - Praslin Berjaya 3 Star Day 04 - Mahe Kempinski Day 05 - Mahe Kempinski Day 06 - Mahe Kempinski We traveled via Kenya airlines and took the 7Degree Transfers to the Hotels, Boat Transfers and Cycle @LaDigue We had a specific Seychelles plan in mind and are quite happy to mention that HolidayBox was able to provide all bookings and transfers with the desired level of customization. From an economical perspective, I was not able to get a better deal for my customized plan. The additional consideration was that, TravelTriangle allows you to pay in installments which would not have been possible with independent bookings. Thus, my advice to all travelers (not backpackers!) is to speak and negotiate with your agents while you research for best hotels and things to do. We did Kenya airways as the cost reduction was quite significant to the Air Seychelles or Eithad. Additionally, Kenya airways has a layover time in Nairobi of 1 Hr. So there is a possibility that due to delays, the connecting flight is missed or the checked-in bags can go missing (a very common thing in inter-connecting flights world-over). Thus, we always pack all valuables in the hand luggage (2 day clothes and camera lenses) and Day 1 stay is the cheapest (AirBnB). Ensure you avoid travelling to Praslin the same day as the last boat leaves by 4/5PM and the last flight also has a similar tale. By booking the cheapest hotel for Day1 night, in case of being stuck in Nairobi - you will not lose the day as it was anyway the cheapest buffer day. In our case, our preparation did help as one of our bagage was stuck in Nairobi. However, it did not sully the mood for we were prepared. On Day2, we were on time transferred by Boat and mini-bus to Praslin and we spent the noon and evening on Cote D'Or. On Day3, we went to La Digue (pre-booked on Day2 with 7 Degrees for Boat ride and cycle) and enjoyed the beaches From Day4, we entered luxury and thoroughly enjoyed the recluse Baie Lazare Kempinski resort with its spa, beaches and the best rooms to stay along with complimentary wines and cakes. It was real fun and a week of destress.

Let me write what went wrong first: 1. At Nairobi Airport, none was there at the meet and greet. We were completely helpless when the locals offered help. They called and even after that, it took 10 minutes for us to meet the person. 2. Similar thing happened in Mombasa, the driver was their at the airport but was not holding a plackard. We used our prior experience and requested a local person to call. 3. The safari van was pathetic. There were other safari vans which I visited and found them in a much better condition. This is where we spent most of our time in the first 5 days and the vehicle was of very poor condition. This is why I have given a rating of 2. Now the good parts: 1. David, our driver, was punctual, knowledgeable and a very good guide. We loved his company. 2. Anshul and Chander from Safari trails were constantly in touch with us whenever possible. They also helped me whenever I needed anything. 3. All the hotels except Amber hotel at Nairobi was superb. Rooms, food, and accessibility were the best in all of them.
