Africa Safari Review

Overall Rating

Exellent organisation. best prices so far, best company i have ever seen well organised and quality staff

Wet season,bad road,

We stayed at the Voyager beach resort between the 05.06.09 and 19.06.09.
Our cabin was a Superior sea view room which was money well spent !!!! The room consisted of a very large bed, fridge, tv, coffee making facilities, table and chairs , decent size bathroom, plenty of wardrobe space and a pull round mozzie net which was good as we experienced the drop down ones and didnt like them . Our view was stunning as we were overlooking the infinity pool and the indian ocean . How could you fault that????

The Hotel it self was amazing . The food had a good variety every day due to the ship theme. It "docked" in different ports around the world giving you a meals from china to lebanon ect ect. We visited the Smugglers cove restraunt and that is a must !!!! the food is stunning , its really intimate and the waiter was fab. All in all a really great night !!!!.

The staff from the restarunt & bars to the shop workers, reception and cleaners were all so kind and happy to speak to you which was really good. Every person you came across you got a warm JAMBO !!!!.

There were three swimming pools which were all fab and had their own unique qualities. The infinity pool was stunning . Such a perfect atmosphere for adults who just want to relax. You cant beat the view of the indian ocean from your sun lounger while being served whatever drink you want by the bar staff !!!! The bonus of this pool is the sea breeze aswel ,In that heat your gunna need it !!!!!! The only major down side is it doesnt get alot of sun. Dont get me wrong the area is drenched in golden rays. However, due to all the palm trees and bushes all the sunbeds end up in the shade after a a few hours so not great if you wanna tan all day.
The Fun pool does what it says on the tin . The animation team are amazing with both adults and kids alike. This was actually my favourite pool. I didnt get involved with them & neither did my partner , but i just found it so funny to watch all sorts having so much fun or making fools of themselves it was priceless and made the day go quicker. It does get noisey as you can appreciate but it never bothered us in the slightest. I found that it was the best pool for catching the sun . So if you would like to tan like mad head there !!!!!.You also get the waiter service here.

And finally the third pool (dont think it had a name ???). This was by the bar (cant remember the name sorry something like hakazi ???). You dont get served to the lounger as its right on the door step of the bar. The pool is a standard one pretty deep with loungers all around it. It gets really hot here also but the palm trees soon shade most parts over.
While we stayed at the voyger me and my partner did alot of the usual tourist things.
We did a 3 day Tsavo East & West safari which was OUT OF THIS WORLD !!!!, we did a half day tour of Mombasa including visiting the wood carving factory which is a must for everyone !!!. The skill on these people and to see them working is unbelivable, we spent a day on the dolphin dhow and swam with wild dolphins which was an experience to remember and finally plenty of scuba diving !!!!.
The Bucaneer diving school based at the Voyager is just under the funpool deck. The guys there are so good as instructors i would recommend them over and over again. I did my discover to scuba diving program with them which entailed some theory work and practice in the fun pool in the early morning then a reef dive later on with an instructor. I was really scared but the instructors were so good with me i really felt at ease. My partner is a qualified diver anyway and he went on numerous dives from the hotel and even got his reef qualification while he was out there. Top team and deffo worth a look into .
We also booked all our excursions through (bruno safaris). The experience we had with them were phenominal !!!! From the Tour guides to our drivers ect ( The owner ) organised everything to a see and made everything exceptional !!!. He even helped us out when he found out that manchester airport forgot to load my suitcase on the plane and took us shopping!!!.
The Only problems with the holiday i experienced was i didnt have a suitcase for the first 5 days and the fact that the wet season which is suppose to be april and may actualy hit when we arrived and is still doing so !!!! Even though i am the lightest i have ever been after a holiday ( hardly anyone had tans coming back on the flight) and all the problems i had at the start of my first week it was an amazing place to be and im so glad i didnt go to the usual british holiday spots !!!!!!

I had the time of my life and cant wait to go back and do everything again !!!.
