Happy Customer

Dear Evelyn and the whole Rickshaw team

THANK YOU!!! We had such an amazing time at Mara Intrepids. It was so much more than we expected, the best word to describe it Is magical. The team on the ground is absolutely fantastic, they know service. I’ve been to so many places that call themselves “luxury” or “5-star” but the Intrepids team really tick the box on both. They took excellent care of us from start to finish, anticipated our needs, treated us really well and gave us the time and space to really relax. The tour guide we had, Paul was so experienced and good, he worked tirelessly to make sure we saw fantastic animals, we even experienced a front row seat to a chase by two cheetahs!!!!

Also a special thanks to you Evelynn for checking up on us, communicating between us and the lodge and ensuring we were totally prepared for the trip. My only recommendation is add some travel packing guidelines to the roster because the weather out there can be quite unpredictable, we were well prepared but other people may not be.
