Nothing makes me happier than helping people have amazing travel experiences! Browse through feedback from fellow travelers and places I've fallen in love with and shared with my community. These are the real stories behind the trips!
"Hi Lelo. I just wanted to say thank you for all your travel tips. I went on my first solo trip to Thailand in December and I was so prepared because of the tips that you shared."
"I just wanted to write you a note to say thank you for visiting us and featuring our unique accommodation units in your posts. You have opened up a whole new market for us and it has been amazing to welcome so many guests who want to experience what you gave them a glimpse of. Your casual and unassuming demeanour comes through in your feed and your way of telling stories makes you so relatable that everyone just wants to emulate what you have shown them."
"So, I did this little thing out of character. I traveled to a town I have never visited with a group of ladies I hadn't met (well bar a small few). If you know me deeply, I am shy and introverted, so you can imagine the anxiety I felt boarding the flight to Kenya. From the moment we landed, it has been love and joy, I cannot imagine a better group to travel with. I laughed and danced hard, ate to my stomach's content, and drank copious amounts of vodka (my new fav' drink is called a Dawa). I cried, swam in the. The list is endless. @mslelob, thank you for bringing us together and for sharing yourself so selflessly. I have found sisters for life."
"Lelo, today you put a smile on my face again when we have guests who still mention you as an inspiration for them to travel and visit our villa. It has now been 4-years since your first visit. It is really a big testimony of your impact on so many people. You truly inspire people to dream, travel and create memories. Thanks again for the positive impact you are making for The Olive Tree Villa! Love to see you back soon!"
"Hey Lelo, good afternoon. Just wanted to say a big 'thank you' for curating such beautiful experiences for my birthday celebration. I have no words, but Suhail is the best - from being our skipper to being our master chef. Hayi bekumnandi kakhulu, thank you, thank you. No one should do Lamu Island without you curating their experiences."
"The experience was great — very well curated. 9/10. Accommodation in Lamu was perfect! Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful houses I’ve ever stayed in. I needed just a full day to relax in the house, not go anywhere, and simply enjoy the sunrise and sunset. Every day, the chef prepared the most delicious dishes. Having breakfast and dinner together as a group elevated the experience, allowing us to connect as a group. Your lunch recommendations were also perfect — Kijani’s food, OMG, the lobsters. The professional photographer was such a great addition — thank you!"
