This Masai Safari will give you the opportunity to visit some of the greatest National Parks in the world, with great potential for viewing all of the ‘big five’. You will start your safari adventure by visiting the Samburu Reserve which is home to the ‘big five’ and a wide variety of birdlife. You will also visit Lake Nakuru, home to the endangered black rhino and a large population of flamingos before finishing your journey with world-renowned Masai Mara. If you visit the Masai Mara between June and October you may be lucky enough to witness one of the greatest spectacles on earth, the annual wildebeest migration when over a million animals cross the plains. However, whichever time of year you visit, the Masai Mara will be most definitely a memorable trip.

Took out the Best of Andalucia trip with eshores, where we had a lovely holiday in a beautiful region of Southern Spain. eShores tailor your experience to your budget and they organise everything, catering for all your needs, we were able to change some of the destinations and extend the duration of our stay. All the accommodation provided and travel was first class, the selected destinations did not disappoint. For travelling in Spain, we chose rail, the rail network we found very efficient and so well organised. Emma from eShores was great from the outset, we discussed with her what we were looking for and provided dates of availability and she came back with an itinerary, which she then fully organised, it made the whole process so simple. We were very impressed with Emma’s help and assistance and eshores overall customer commitment. We would certainly use them again and very much would recommend them to anyone.

Rachel at Eshores arranged a glorious trip to India. Guided tour around The golden triangle and 5 days on the beach in Goa. Everything went exactly as per the itinerary. The hotels and beach resort were excellent. I highly recommend Rachel and Eshores. Great planning and always on hand to answer any questions or concerns. I would certainly use this company again for any future trips.
