A conscientious and personable tour operator from start to finish
This was our first safari and certainly will not be our last! Fell completely in love with Kenya and the safari experience. Kicheche Mara North was simply brilliant. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Whole trip was well organised. Leoni really listened to what we wanted and planned the trip to suit us. Just some advice, get your visas early. A wonderful trip that we will never forget.

JUST FANTASTIC!!!
We had an INCREDIBLE adventure in Africa with Wayfairer. It all began at the awe inspiring and thrilling Victoria Falls, in Zambia, then onto Zimbabwe, Botswana and finally, four nights in South Africa.
I won't go into everything, but a few highlights are worth mentioning. Like, at Moremi Camp, close to the Okavango Delta and miles and miles away from anything and VERY early one cold morning I opened the door, to be greeted by three large buffalos, the door (as you can imagine) closed again, quickly ! That night we fell asleep to the comical sounds of Hippos grunting and squabbling, in the river just 10 metres from the decking around our extremely glamped up tent. At another camp, on the Zambezi river, I witnessed a herd of elephants, arriving for their well deserved drink of the day (150 litres,) and then a morning swim across the Zambezi to Namibia, they just submerged into the water and crossed, right in front of our boat, with their in built snorkels / trunks held high.
At 6.00am the next morning we followed a pride of lions, who were certainly onto something. They were following the scent of a herd of buffalo, who were at least 400 yards away and they stalked with an aim to kill, then we actually witness them kill a surprised warthog (difficult). Later, I could hardly breathe, in the presence of a stunning female leopard, feeding her 2 newborn cubs. Hundreds of photos later you can imagine, I had so much material and was really excited to begin my African Sunset commission.
Wayfairer is efficient, quick to respond and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. In fact we are doing so, next year.
We were always collected on time and we always felt safe and very well looked after. All of the accommodation was top notch. Even in strange airports, we were escorted through. I have an autistic son who has special dietary needs and this was put in place in each destination.

comprehensive
I engaged Wayfairer Travel based on their online reviews, and am so glad I did. My trip started a little rough; flight delayed and rebooked the next day. They stayed in touch to make sure I was picked up by their local guide, even though the flights were my own booking. I am a female solo traveler, and I never felt unsafe! Wayfairer contracted with Speke Uganda Holidays for the tour, and they were wonderful. Everything that was offered was accomplished; including some extras. The Gorilla and Chimpanzee habituations were amazing! The ecolodges were very clean, and the food was marvelous! Felt like I was eating my way across Uganda! Local village visits were very interesting and informative. All made me feel welcome. Overall, I strongly recommend their services!
Fantastic service!
We visited Tanzania and worked with Wayfairer. We were a group of 8 with 4 kids.
They were excellent! From Cat who helped setup the plans to Toon who helped during out travels, the support the service was very good. Great communication. Always prompt. Customized our travels per our needs. The lodges, the transportation and the guides they arranged were excellent. Highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience
It was a great experience organising our safari and beach goliday through wayfair. They planned a great itenary for us and made sure to provide the best accommodation and service based on the budget we had. We stayed to Naibor camp, it was a dream . Excellent service from everyone in this camp.

Personalised and special
We booked our honeymoon of dreams through wayfairer after lots of research into tour operators, we knew we wanted to go to Africa and had some ideas but needed some help to pin down what would really work for us. Most operators sent us standard itineraries, Maggie at Wayfairers Bristol office was in a different league, she listened, worked with our budgets and built out a number of itineraries until we landed on the perfect one for us. The trip itself was beyond magical and we wouldn’t have changed a thing, thank you Maggie. Whilst away, June and the on the ground team were with us every step of the way! Couldn’t recommend the full team more, thank you for making our dream trip a reality

Amazing!
We had not previously been to South Africa, Zimbabwe or on safari but we had an incredible time! Wayfairer were fantastic from start to finish from planning the trip, organising everything from flights, hotels, transfers, activities and more meaning that we could relax and simply turn up! I would definitely recommend them, their service is first class as is their knowledge on where to go, what to do and even in providing useful information about what to expect and bring with you. Thank you!

Incredibly helpful and efficient!
We would 100% recommend Wayfairer! We did an incredible safari and beach break for our honeymoon and everything ran so smoothly!

Incredible honeymoon
We stopped in a few different places / accommodations across Uganda and Kenya, with quite a few transfers and internal flights - we were so well looked after throughout by the wayfairer team (Eleanor in particular), and by the people on the ground. Couldn’t be more grateful to them, we had the trip of a lifetime and would highly recommend trusting them to put together a holiday that exceeds expectations. Always in hand to answer questions during the booking process (and trip itself) and well worth the money. Accommodation was amazing and our guides throughout made sure our wildlife sightings were fantastic. Thanks!

Perfect Honeymoon
We can't recommend Wayfairer enough - from planing our trip, communication before/ throughout/ after and overall execution it really was superb. We were able to see two different national parks in Zambia as well as the Victoria Falls - everything was cared for, so we didn't have to worry about anything than to enjoy! It really was a wonderful holiday - we will be back!
