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.

We recently used this travel agent for the first time to plan our holiday, and the experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish.
From our very first conversation, they were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in understanding exactly what we were looking for. They took the time to listen to our preferences, budget, and travel style, and then presented us with options that were perfectly tailored to our needs.
The entire planning process was smooth and stress-free.
Our holiday exceeded expectations, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable travel planning experience! ✈️🌍

The Holiday Dealers have provided me with consistently excellent service for many years. What began as a random enquiry on their website was met with a warm, responsive reply, and that level of care has never changed. David is outstanding — incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and understands my travel preferences even better than I do! His suggestions always turn out to be spot on. The service is genuinely personalised — so personalised that sometimes I feel like I am their only client :) Everything is handled seamlessly from start to finish, whether it’s a solo trip or a larger family holiday. Their website is easy to use when exploring ideas. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Holiday Dealers.

We had the best experience. Everything was really great. We booked a tour from Nairobi to lake Nakuru and then to Masaai Mara and back to Nairobi. Our guide and driver Brian was very well educated and told us a lot about the animals and plants we were able to spot. He was also a very experienced driver. In the Mara we saw a lot of cars got stuck in the mudd because of the rain the day before. The camps the holiday dealers recommended us were great. The food was very delicious, the staff was very polite and the rooms were nice. We spotted a lot of different animals and of course the big five. Thanks to the Team of The holiday dealers – the whole trip was a unforgettable journey for our whole family.

It is now over a decade since i started using The Holiday Dealers to plan my tours and travels. Not a single day have they disaspointed me. They have remained consistent and professional in their service delivery. Over the years, they have personaized my trips, to suit my needs and expectations of a perfect vacation. From sourcing for family based hotels like Voyager and Baobab resorts to romantic getaways like Finch Hattons Mahali Mzuri and Bluff lodges etc, the Holiday Dealers have no doubt mastered their craft. They will take you from the bush to the beach without breaking a sweat.
Last festive season, Holiday Dealers successfuly planned my trip to Nothern and Central parts of Kenya. We were assigned a highly qualified, professional and well informed tour guide and driver who gave us limitless guided game drives of the breathtaking landscapes of Samburu. In particular we visited the Buffalo Springs National Reserve and Shaba Game Reserve. While there watch out for the Duom palm, grevy’s Zebra and the Orynx.
We wound up our trip at the luxurious Fairmont Mt. Kenya Safari club. In the morning, we would wake up to perfect views of amazing sunrise from the top of Mt. Kenya. The location of the club is just perfect. We were also lucky to see the endangered mountain bongo, some Llamas and other animals at the animal orphanage.
Trust Holiday Dealers to fulfill your Holiday Dreams.

Holiday dealers facilitated our 4 days 3 nights safari tour at samburu. It was a last minute booking because the first travel agency that I contacted did not return my msgs anymore. Holiday dealers was professional in every way, responsive and patient with regards to my preference. They exceeded my expectation of Kenya, every experience is 10 stars or more for us. From the camp, game rides, food and staff. Everything is simply magnificent. Special mention to Kathure-travel agent and James-tour guide… it was short but the sweetest of all vacations that I’ve ever had. Can’t wait for another safari experience.

My wife and I stayed at the Voyager resort on an all inclusive booking. We were extremely happy with Sheila from the Holiday Dealers who made sure all reservations were in order and also checked in with us to see if all was okay. The resort was fantastic and we had an amazing time. Everything from the food, ambience, entertainment and staff were awesome! I highly recommend The Holiday Dealers and Voyager Resort.
