Wayfairer perfectly managed the best holiday of my life - Very Happy!
I booked a luxury Holiday to Kenya for my partner and I through Wayfairer and traveled in October 2018
Every part of the experience was tailored to our preferences and made so easy for us!
First we went on a Safari in the Mara North Conservancy at the Saruni Wild camp. This was truly amazing, the camp was really intimate with just 3 tents and the food was excellent. Most Importantly, there was amazing wildlife right on our doorstep.
As this was our first safari we were unsure what to expect but by the end of our first day we were already hooked. On this first day we saw hippo's, elephants, numerous plain game, and spent several hours watching the Lemek Lion Pride (with a comp glass of wine!).
John our guide was Great. He looked after us throughout our Safari and was very friendly and knowledgeable (Clearly very experienced!). During the following few days, we were lucky enough to see almost everything we could hope for leopards, cheetah's, giraffe and many more. We even spent one morning tracking the rare Wild Dogs.
After the safari we traveled to Watamu on the coast and spent 3 days relaxing by the pool and enjoying Hemingway's hotel, which was lovely.
We also ventured out to a local restaurant called the crab shack by tuk tuk - would highly recommend.
Our whole holiday was managed extremely well by wayfairer who were attentive and helpful throughout.
We could not have asked for more, so happy we went!
Time to save up for next time!

Complete Tanzanian Tour Package that Exceeded Expectations
This was the second time I used Wayfairer Travel this year for two amazing African adventures, and I would highly recommend their services in the future. With so many choices of parks, camps, lodges, hotels, etc., it can be a bit overwhelming in trying to research and plan an African safari on your own. Late last year my wife and I were trying to plan a trip to Namibia on our own, with only a few weeks before we planned to leave. I sent out a few inquires through Safari Bookings, and Wayfairer quickly responded, followed by a phone call to find out in more detail the type of trip we were hoping to have. I gave them a budget to work from and the resultant trip blew me away in the quality of the lodges, and the organization of the trip. So when some friends approached us earlier this year, wanting us to join them on an epic adventure to celebrate their 30 year wedding anniversary, I reached out again to Wayfairer Travel to help plan our latest trip.
We ended up visiting Tanzania, with stops in both Selous and Ruaha parks. I was reluctant at first to not visit the more popular parks up north, such as the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, but we were happy to find an abundance of wildlife, great guides, and the feeling that we had the park almost all to ourselves. We followed up a week of safari's with beach time on Mafia Island and Zanzibar. The overall trip was well planned with all the details taken care of. When on our first morning in Dar es Salaam, our ride to the airport didn't show up, we grabbed a taxi to make sure we didn't miss our flight. An email to Wayfairer, and the issue was resolved and the cost of the taxi quickly reimbursed.
Overall, we were all very satisfied by the quality of the trip and the attention to detail that was put into the planning.

Thank you Wayfairer for working with us and arrange an amazing family holiday.
Hi, we had all our documents and details sent to us by email and post. All the information we needed was there.
We chose Riverdene lodge for our eastern cape safari. We would recommend this lodge to anyone with children especially under the age of 10. The lodge is beautiful set with only 9 rooms and a children's clubhouse with wall climbing and small zip wires. The children's centre seems almost entirely your child's with never more than a few children there at any one time and a small team exclusively there's to entertain them. The chef was happy to make most food requests. Our ranger Jess was brilliant. It is a really good way to introduce safaris to kids with no need to take antimalarials. Although it is a different experience to the Masa masa or the Serengeti we were pleasantly surprised by this safari experience as it had its' own charm. Thank you for Wayfairer for organising and the team at Riverdene lodge Shamwari for an unforgettable experience especially for our 8 year old.

Very efficient - they arranged a perfect itinerary for our family safari adventure
Communication was very efficient and the service was excellent. The trip far exceeded our expectations and we consider ourselves to be quite well travelled.
The safari tour was excellent, we saw so many different types of animals and our guide was superb. He really went out of his way to make sure that we got the most out of our trip and was very experienced and competent. We loved tenting in the Serengeti and having lunch at a hippo pool.
Zanzibar was fantastic and we really enjoyed our time there. The resort was of a very high standard and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
