Honeymoon to
Kenya & Seychelles
My wife and I experienced the trip of a lifetime. From the magical experience in the Maasai Mara to the calming beaches of the Seychelle Islands we couldn't have picked a better guide than Mahlatini.
This was a once in a lifetime kind of trip that we are going to have to somehow repeat! The team at Mahlatini really worked hard for us throughout the planning process, exceeded our trip expectations, and worked diligently when we actually had to push our Honeymoon out a full year because of COVID …
Nicki and Mahlatini took care of absolutely everything on this trip - we didn't have to worry about a thing knowing Nicki was multiple steps ahead of us every leg of our journey!
