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.

I had never heard of eshores till I decided to plan a multi-stop holiday in Turkey some weeks ago. The decision to use eshores was based on a quick internet search for any help I could get with this. So, i wasnt really expecting much. As the planning was at relatively short notice...and we had never travelled to Turkey, I was pleasantly surprised at the support I had from Rachel at eshores who listened to what I wanted and was patient to go back and forth with me till I had the exact holiday I wanted (Istanbul, Ankara and Antalya). I always had a response with every query(and I had quite a few!!). The travel itself worked like a dream...both international and domestic flights were straightforward, but even more surprising was how reliable the multiple taxis to and fro airports were, even when picking up at 0330!! Overall, the experience has been very positive and I would be very happy to use the service again

Nick arranged a 2 week trip to Argentina & Brazil for us in March. We were happy with the itinerary he put together and his choice of hotels. We had a good level of contact from taxi companies for collections at airports & hotels. On our return he checked everything had gone smoothly which was a nice touch. I mentioned that I was looking for a beach holiday in a couple of months and he put together some hotels at a good price so I’ve booked again with him. I would definitely use Nick, EShores, again and recommend them to friends.
