One&Only Le Saint Géran
Overview
Personalized Indian Ocean bliss
Only an hour’s drive from the airport in east Mauritius, One&Only Le Saint Géran is one of the finest island resorts in the world. Occupying a stunning private peninsula, bordered on one side by the Indian Ocean and on the other by a secluded lagoon, this timeless eco-friendly resort provides genuine hospitality and lively energy.

Le Saint Géran also boasts five tennis courts, a Gary Player 9-hole golf course and a fully equipped gym for sports enthusiasts.

EXCELLENT Based on 67 reviews Posted on Sarah KraemerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ker&Downey (AKA Grand Africa Safaris) has consistently provided excellent experiences for our clients who book safaris. The team is in constant communication with our guests while they are in country, and are highly organized and communicate clearly with us in the planning stages. They execute the highest end luxury safaris, and can also work within a budget to deliver "memories of a lifetime." They have been our partners for 10 years, and we look forward to many more happy years of business together.Posted on Ruth WoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Their dedication and warm approach make working with them an absolute pleasure.

As both a travel advisor and a consumer I can give Ker & Downey my highest of ratings. As a consumer Danalee and the team planned and executed a brilliant safari last October for my colleague and I. From Cape Town to the private game reserves in Sabi Sabi and Thornybush to Botswana and the delta it was a first class experience and there was never a moment when we did not feel taken care along our 3 week journey. Top shelf accommodations, restaurants and safari camps all exceeded expectations. Great job by the entire team! As a travel advisor that gives me great confidence when I’m planning safaris for my clients. Danalee listens and because of her knowledge and experience she provides the custom itineraries and insight that the clients ask for. She even delivers when clients change their minds mid way through the process and delivers creative itinerary solutions that meet their exacting standards. It’s rare to find a “go to” DMC but you’ll find one here with Ker & Downey Africa.Posted on Leah WinckTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a Travel Advisor, the coordination and execution of my clients' trips have been excellent. From the arrival transfers, to the hotels booked and services provided - Ker & Downey Africa were exceptional. It was such a pleasure to work together with the Team to create a dream come true for my clients! Bravo K&D! Thank you for such amazing partnership!Posted on Sophie KhouryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danalee and her team, Zanel, Yumna, Nicole, at Ker & Downey Africa are absolutely wonderful. As a travel advisor, it’s such a pleasure to work with someone like Danalee — a true expert who is incredibly responsive and always ready to help.Posted on Betty HellstromTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had the pleasure of working with Ker & Downey Africa for many years now, and every single trip I’ve arranged for my groups has been absolutely seamless. From the hotels and lodges to the camps and tour guides, every detail has been thoughtfully curated and executed to perfection. The properties are exceptional, the guides are knowledgeable and professional, and the overall experience for my travelers is consistently outstanding. Working with Danalee May here in the U.S. has been an incredible advantage. She is responsive, attentive, and truly understands the needs of my clients. At the same time, the team in Cape Town works hand in hand with her to ensure flawless coordination on the ground. It’s clear that communication and collaboration are at the heart of what they do. There are so many people behind the scenes who deserve recognition that it’s hard to know who to thank first. What I can say with confidence is that the entire Ker & Downey Africa team operates at the highest level of professionalism and care. I will absolutely continue to use Ker & Downey Africa for all of my future bookings to Africa. Their expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence make them an invaluable partner.Posted on Catherine JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ker & Downey have been a pleasure to work with! Their communication was consistent, quick, smooth, and timely! As a travel agency who partnered with them as our DMC, their team was very responsive and professional throughout our time working with them. We appreciated their deep knowledge of South Africa (recommendations on tours, hotel selections, dining options, etc) and look forward to working with them again!
