The Perfect Honeymoon
I can't thank Wayfairer enough for helping to plan the perfect honeymoon. They provided excellent advice about the best location for my honeymoon and the best time to visit. We settled on the Selous Game Reserve and they listened to all my feedback to create the perfect itinerary that combined safari, beach and relaxation. I'd never booked through a company like this before so I was concerned that something would go wrong. Someone would miss a transfer or not be there when they were supposed to be, but all my worries quickly melted away and the whole trip went smoothly. I would definitely book with Wayfairer again and I especially love their philosophy of responsible travel and working with companies that pay and treat their employees fairly. I think it showed in all the people we met on our trip. A++

Kilimajaro and Zanzibar
The bulk of the tour went very smoothly, all very relaxed and Wayfairer chose good quality hosts that made our stay enjoyable throughout. The service was flexible, and the team worked to tailor the tour to our very specific dates and requirements throughout, providing clear advice on what would and would not work.
The information pack we received was clearly laid out, with all relevant information provided. In particular, highlighting key restrictions at various points in the trip.

Family Safari Experience
Wayfairer Travel planned an amazing trip for a family which lived to our every expectation and more. The lodges we stayed in were superbly located and Excellently appointed. The views from Rhino Ridge were incredible, giving tempting glimpses of the safaris awaiting. Thonga Beach Lodge is located on an incredible Indian Ocean beach which stretched for miles and often was deserted.
Menus were varied and imaginative. The policies employed by the Lodges to employ staff from local villages is very beneficial to the communities and it was enriching to meet local people.

A brilliant family trip of a lifetime
From my initial telephone conversation with Thea until my follow up call with Carmen when we arrived back home the experience and organisation was outstanding. Definitely the best family trip we’ve ever had and the organisation and communication from the wayfairer team was second to none. Heartily recommend!
Great Tanzanian Adventure
Wayfairer Travel set up a wonderful trip for me to sister lodges Lake Manze and Madonya Old River on the southern circuit and flights with Coastal Aviation. From booking to the last flight back to Dar Es Salaam every minute was first class. Pre-trip service by Wayfairer was super and both lodges, game drives and flights exceeded my every expectation. Trip of a lifetime!!
Awesome
We had an amazing trip to Southern Africa. The itinerary we had included Victoria Falls (the Zimbabwean side), a day trip to Chobe, a visit to Great Zimbabwe and Cape Town. Wayfairer Travel was amazing at booking our travel, ensuring that we had the best tour guides and any issues we faced were resolved immediately. They really surpassed our expectations.

Excellent from start to finish
I couldn't recommend Wayfairer Travel any higher, they were outstanding. I would definitely put that down to the people I interacted with. I had placed enquiries with a number of travel agencies (through the Responsible Travel portal) on a Sunday night and Cat was immediately on the ball, contacting me on Monday morning. We spent 45 mins on the phone and she asked so many detailed questions. So when it came to putting our varied itinerary together she was spot on!
She was incredibly engaging, professional, responsive and a pleasure to work with.
(Other travel agents responded days later and I was very happy to tell them they had missed the boat!)
Once our trip was booked we were then in touch with Carmen who was also great.
I felt that they were available at any time if i had any issues, questions, queries and really had confidence in their support.
Carmen checked in with us a couple of days into our trip and also after the trip where I was very happy to feed back on the different experiences we had.
I would highly recommend Wayfairer to anybody!

Fantastic safari experience!
Time on our safari was fantastic! We loved that Wayfairer set us up with Basecamp Wilderness camp. Their mission, involvement in conservation efforts, and investment in the Masai people was wonderful to hear about and we felt very glad to support their company. 4 days, 3 nights was a great amount of time to be on safari. We saw so many incredible animals - including 16 lions, a jaguar, and 6 cheetah! There was a little bit of confusion about when we were leaving from the staff, but we got it all cleared away.
Comforting
Excellent and the organizations were amazing. The food was wonderful and there were many activities available.

Overall, they completely delivered!
From the beginning engagement I was completely won over by Thea, she was fantastic at painting the perfect honeymoon meeting our needs and budget.
I must be completely honest and there was a slightly bumpy middle, but this was mostly due to flights (out of their control) and then one or two other things. However the understanding and extra effort that went in did not go unnoticed.
We then had completely open minds going on the honeymoon as with the slight bumps, we weren't sure, however we needn't have worried. IT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD! The recommendations that Thea were made were not only perfect, but they were the best of the best. Safari at Ol Seki was amazing and we had the most magical time. We then went on to Zuri Zanzibar, just the most amazing hotel I have ever seen and stood out amongst all the others on the same beach. With what had happened in the journey, it seems Wayfairer had gone out of their way to make sure everyone knew it was our honeymoon and we got treated like royalty the entire trip. I was truly blown away and now completely gutted to be home. Thank you and we will be using again!
