Perfect Dream Safari Thanks to Wayfairer!
Wayfairer (with the help of Ellie and Aggie) planned and executed my dream safari trip. They were incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the entire process. I initially described my ideal trip on a brief phone call with Ellie and she planned the PERFECT trip that exceeded all my expectations.
All of the travel within Kenya was seamlessly organized and I felt incredibly safe the entire time. I absolutely loved all of the camps I stayed at (Elerai in Amboseli, The Safari Cottages in Ol Pejeta, and Speke's Camp in the Mara).
I absolutely recommend using Wayfairer Travel to book your next adventure!
Well organised private tour
We decided to organise a 3-4 week tour of Laos/Vietnam and Cambodia and having been recommended by another travel agent we chose to go with Wayfairer Travel. From the initial planning, scheduling and extensive choice of excursions in each country we finally made up our minds on a private tour with driver and guide in each location throughout the tour. We were not to be dissapointed. The overall planning, advice and attention to detail from Wayfairer's specialists was outstanding. Even the Final itinerary with attached advice on health, currencies and contact details was provided in an easy to follow colourful digital format.
The tour itself was very well organised, with pick ups and hotel transfers all on time. We requested 4-5 star hotels and we certainly got what we paid for in each location. Excursions were all organised to suit our preferences and daily timescale. From half and full day tours to evening tours on the back of Vespas with bars, restaurants, street food and live music thrown in, we were kept busy.
We would recommend all three countries, all different, all full of history, architecture and varying landscapes. Above all the welcome received from meeting the local people going about their daily lives, learning to embrace and develop tourism as a way of life, many of them having lived through a much darker past made Indochina, for us, a fascinating and never to be forgotten destination.

Fabulous, fabulous and fabulous!!
Wayfairer really listened to what I wanted and taylor made my 60th birthday celebration trip accordingly. I was lucky to be contacted by Ettiene who is extremely knowledgable of the region and planned our trip. Wayfairer was always within reach by telephone or email. Our first stop was Camp Khwai, which is a small rustic style tented camp. We were warmly greeted by Rebbecca and her team. The staff were very personable and helped make my 60th birthday celebration extra special, which included a birthday cake in the bush!! Our tent had a living room,private swimming pool, outdoor shower and bath. Emmex, our guide was super knowledgeable and a great tracker too, we learnt so much from him. We managed to see almost everything. A highlight for us was the vast atmospheric African skies at sunset which included an electric storm and light show! An unforgettable experience! The food was delicious and included a few Botswanan staples, all prepared by the chef at Camp Khwai. She had a difficult task as we had one vegan, one vegetarian and one pescatarian as well as non fussed eaters. The second part of our trip went off as smoothly as the first, all transfers were seamless and we were met at the border and taken to our lovely hotel in Vic Falls. We stayed at the Palm River hotel which felt more like a 5 star hotel rather than a 4 star. It was wonderful to see warthog, monkeys and a few impalas walking around the immaculate grounds. Ettiene had organised a sunset dinner cruise on the Zambezi, which was wonderful and more hippos were seen and a Boma experience the following night. The second day we, did the Vic Falls and as per recommendation, went to the Lookout restaurant for lunch and enjoyed the spectacular views as well as the food. We had the most fantastic experience, celebration and holiday. I can only highly, highly recommend Wayfairer and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Incredible Trip - Can't Recommend Wayfairer Enough !!
Where to begin! It was a lifelong dream trip turned reality thanks to the amazing team at Wayfairer, specifically Dalia, Ellie and Issac (our guide in Tanzania). From the very beginning, ranging from recommendations, suggestions and handfuls of options matching desire and price, they were thorough, descriptive and extremely honest about what would best suit our needs. It was seamless from beginning to end! The itinerary laid out exactly what we were going to do and when, and it went off without a hitch! We never had to worry about our flights, cars to and from locations or our lodges. They handled EVERYTHING! It was truly the epitome of relaxation. Everyone we encountered took amazing care of us, the lodges, staff and towns in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Ole Pejeta, Kenya, Masai Mara, Kenya, Serengeti, Tanzania, Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania and Mahe, Seychelles were INCREDIBLE!!!!! The staff, the hospitality, the FOOD - pure magic. This trip would not have been possible without the ease and help from the team at Wayfairer. We can't wait to book another trip, and every one after that, with them!!!! THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

Trip above and beyond the itinerary
My Africa to East Africa planned and managed by Wayfairer was beyond exceptional. We planned the itinerary for the activities and sites I wanted but the guides and staff at each location provided extra opportunities beyond our planning. I will use Wayfairer again for my next trip to Africa. Thank you Team!!!

Unimaginable Botswana Safari
The communication and booking process is very good. Throughout the entire time
I was able to always ask questions and get an answer in very short time. The Botswana trip we booked was such a great experience! The lodges were amazing and the food and the safaris were so really nice. Moneywise I would rate the tour 4/5, because it was quite expensive, but in the same time I would always book another Safari tour from Wayfairer and I‘d know I will have a great time.

The best of the best!
Josh began planning our trip about 1 1/2 years ago and Toon was working with me later on. She provided impeccable service and arranged a trip of a lifetime for my family! It fit us like a glove and every single member of my 16 kids and their spouses and grandkids that went with us will have so many lasting memories! It was a trip of a lifetime to Boschendal, and then to Camps Bay, and then to the Madikwe game reserve and staying at the Tuningi Safari Lodge. It was 5 star from start to finish, including the ground transportation and staff at each facility we stayed at.

Outstanding planning and organisation from initial enquiry to final flight home !
My husband and I had planned to go on safari for his 65th birthday but sadly he passed away at age 60 and so I felt tgat was,a,dream I would not fulfil .Approaching 70 I felt now that the time was right .
From initial enquiries to Amelia,at Wayfarer a crafted safari experience was born! I travelled to Botswana and stayed in tge Ikavango Delta initially then Chobe .Both lodges were wonderful but a particular mention to Khwai Lediba ..the setting, the staff ,the excellent accommodation and superb food will never be forgotten .Our guide Max was outstanding ..do patient but above all hugely informative. I travelled on my own and at no time did I feel anxious as everyone I met was superb.
The next lodge was Chobe Bakwena lodge ..situated on banks of Chobe river ..it was a bigger lodge but still very comfortable and our guide there was Ben who did his utmost to make tge next few days exhilarating..I clues g managing a wonderful sighting of a leopard !
I finished my trip with sightseeing at Victoria Falls .
I can truly say from beginning to end the trip was magnificent and I felt very safe and included.
It has revived my confidence in solo travel and now wonder where I will go in 2025 !
What an experience ..tgank you to all in Wayfarer ...excellent company and superb helpful staff .

Great Company - very good service and support
Ellie and Chanelle are fabulous travel agents. They were extremely helpful from our initial inquiries and throughout our trip. They arranged wonderful accommodations in South Africa. All the meet ups and flights went exactly as planned. When I got in touch with Chanelle while on our trip she responded immediately and was very helpful. Thank you both for a wonderful experience. I look forward to planning our next trip.
