We took the 8 day Masai Mara, Naivasha and Nakuru Safari. These guys were amazing!!! I'm singing their praises to everyone I know and will definitely use them again in the future. The accommodations/food was great, our private tour guides were awesome and so knowledgeable, and the safaris were a once in a lifetime experiences. The additional add-on of the elephant orphanage was so worth the money. In addition, I will forever be grateful to Junior for turning a potential trip-ruining mistake into a non-issue. After we arrived at the airport (on a Sunday) there was a problem with our Kenyan entry forms that was going to keep us from going on our trip, Junior stayed on the phone with me for 3hrs and was able to fix the problem ensuring we didn't lose out on our trip. I will be forever grateful to him and the other employees at Travel Discounters.

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.

Absolutely impressed beyond belief. A first class experience!

We booked a trip of a lifetime in Africa. Six countries, almost a month, and arranged for our girls join us for a week in the middle. We are experienced travelers and can recognize the effort it took to pull this off. Kudos to Platinum Holidays/Travel Discounters, Pollman’s, Ranger Safaris, and ERM Tours.
