The best immediate response and help in everything , thank you Lynn Bowers,!…
I was impressed by the immediate response to my first enquiry by Lynn BOWERS! From then on she was amazing responding asap to my enquiry about an almost three week journey through different countries and Southafrica. She designed my trip in a fantastic way even responding in a late night timing since I am in Mexico and the difference of hours is a real problem lol, but so happy for all the safaris and tours she arranged for us and the excellent kind help she was in every aspect of details from visas , hotels , flights , vaccines … etc Immediate response from all team afterwards . I am definetely booking a trip to Kenia perhaps next year with Lynn ! Edna Chavez
