Hey guys I wanna know what the catch is here, you have won a holiday with you family for say two nights, food and accommodation paid for but you cater for the transport......we are meeting other proffessional couples somewhere in Westlands, come with your spouse!!!

...this is by Hemmingway safaris, located in Westlands, I am sure a wazuan must have some experience with them!!!!

Been there, done that, taken the holiday. They will try selling you time share using pressure marketing (that's why they insist you come with your wife so that you are vulnerable) when you attend the presentation. Just sit through it, sign no deals, leave no cheques, but take the holiday voucher. I did it with Leading Resorts (Hemingway look alike) took two days at the coast with the missus (no family was allowed then) and had a swell time on their account. The only damage was transport (Coast Bus) and drinks.

GG, thanks: I thought they would insist that you pay for the transport in a mode of their choice, cheers!!!

I had won such a holiday before, they pestered me with phone calls. I asked them to deliver the voucher to my office but they insisted I go with my spouse to westlands for them. This being nairobi, I freaked out and told them I am no longer interested.

...I been there...Guess you filled a form from good looking girls who hang around petrol stations...You will sit thru a boring presentation and at the end of it they will nag you to make a decision there and then to buy the time share - something I found quite absurd...I got the holiday voucher but did not use...Sio vizuri kuangukia if you did not have plans...I take those holidays once in a year...
...A word of caution...Don't be accompanied by a suspicious character...You will meet people who know you...some of them will be having suspicious companions...
