My birthday getaway was exceptional!

Carol and I had a great trip. Our guides were fabulous. Dawood went above and beyond to make my birthday away from home really special. He arranged to have the lodge decorate our room and then they had a dance and drum parade through the restaurant and delivered a cake to me.

My experience with Platinum Holidays was Amazing!

Binod and Junior set me up with Tanzania & Kenya holiday. They arranged 5* hotels and lodges. From the moment they picked us up from Nairobi airport till they dropped us off at Nairobi, everything was taken care of. If you want to have a safari trip of a lifetime please book with them.
