Fantastic booking experience!!
5/5

I came across Untamed Safaris via a FB ad while researching how to best go about planning our maiden safari somewhere in Africa. After contacting them, I was super impressed with the level of communication, care factor and overall service commitment by Ryan from Untamed Safaris. It was super easy to discuss with Ryan what we were after and very quickly we had tailored an itinerary that was loosely based on an existing route in South Africa. Ryan was always reachable via sms, email or a quick phone call. After going through tons of other safari routes/tours and operators we strongly felt that we received a very competitive offer and a value for money trip.
We just returned a few days ago and the trip itself was nothing but breathtaking. Every single leg was an amazing experience. The lodging. The game drives. Lots of life-lasting memories made!! We already mentioned to Ryan that if we ever go
To Africa again he will be our
Go-to guy.
Cannot praise this operator highly enough:)

Can not recommend this agency highly enough. Every aspect of our trip was carefully curated and not one complaint can be make about the areas that were recommended , which included accomodation with delicious meals , amazing guides and friendly staff at Lemala lodges throughout Tanzania and our amazing gorilla trek and visit to Rwanda. A bucket list trip that would love to do repeatedly .

An experience not to be missed. Untamed Safaris were first class in every way.
5/5

From start to finish this tour was 1st class in every way. Every little detail added to a very memorable experience. The accommodation was fantastic with the best views. The staff couldn't do enough for you and the food was great.
The guides were great drivers and made you feel very safe. I cannot recommend Untamed Safaris enough. I didn't want this experience to end. Thank you Ryan from Untamed Safaris.

All Around Outstanding and Putting Together a Brilliant13 Day Itinerary to Tanzania & Kenya
5/5

Ryan Kendall from Untamed Safaris put together a personalised 13 day itinerary for us showcasing Tanzania and Kenya.
Our trip was a real adventure with many highlights and we experienced something different each day.
There were many pick-ups/drop-offs to negotiate with airports, road transfers, small airstrips and border crossings. Everything worked like clockwork and we were never let down in any area we visited.
Our itinerary showcased the Elewana Collection of accommodation - we visited quite a few of their properties and they were all first class in every respect.
We would definitely recommend Ryan to anyone considering planning a trip to Africa. His knowledge, contacts and advice made our trip planning a breeze and if there were any questions he was very quick to get back to us.

Very obliging and knowledgeable
5/5

We went for almost 4 weeks mainly to South Africa plus Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe plus the Chobe River in Namibia.
We had a great time and saw Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, Johannesburg, had 5 days on the Walkers Plains Camp and saw the Big Five, Spent three days on the Chobe River Savannah camp exploring the river in a Tinny amongst all the elephants, hippos and saw a number of prides of lions.
Ryan also organised for the ROVOS train trip from Pretoria to Cape Town, what an experience, something out of the 1920's !!
Unfortunately the huge rains in the Cape washed out the last part of the rail tracks before Cape Town but no one can control Mother Nature.
Without exception all of the accommodation we had was fantastic, all of the transfers simply just happened on time every time and the whole holiday went off without a hitch.
An amazing feat doing it from the other side of the world.
We were very happy with everything and would highly recommend Ryan Kendall and Untamed Safaris to anyone.

Excellent
5/5

Our Untamed Safaris tour of Africa was brilliant and well and truly exceeded our expectations.
The destinations on our itinerary were extremely well chosen and gave us a different African experience at each.
The accommodation selected was first class and carefully chosen in light of our requirements and in our view, the best on offer.
Every flight, car pick up and tour was well organised and went smoothly without any problems.
We also had Ryan's contact details in case we needed to contact him, which was appreciated as this was our first trip to Africa.
We would highly recommend Untamed Safaris to anyone looking to go to Africa.
Thank you Ryan!

Efficient all areas were completed as per itinerary
5/5

We did a four week African safari tour including south Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia,Kenya and Tanzania. The arrangements were all met as per itinerary.
The safaris were extensive and met all our expectations. The lodges chosen by untamed safaris were of high quality and provided friendly service of a high standard.
I would recommend untamed safaris as an organisation that went above and beyond to ensure we had a quality holiday.

Everything was as described and the travel arrangements worked seamlessly.
5/5

After arriving in South Africa, our tour commenced in Karongwe at Beck's Safari Lodge. The lodge was situated on a river bank and well maintained. Animals were present at all times. The game drives were extensive and carried out conscientiously, enabling the sighting of the "Big Five" and many, many more. Catering was good although BBQ's on two out of four nights was a cop-out for the caterers. We then traveled to Cape Town staying at the Portswood Hotel. The hotel was located in the Port area, an easy walk to the restaurant areas at the port. A tour to the Western Cape was included in our package and proved to be a highlight. We then traveled to Zimbabwe for the Victoria Falls, staying at Pioneers which was excellent with the best catering we encountered in Africa. From there we traveled to Chobe River Namibia, staying at Savanna Lodge.
The lodge facilities were excellent although the catering was below expectations. Game drives by river boat were excellent enabling close encounters with elephants, hippos, crocodiles, baboons and many animal and bird species.
Ryan Kendall of Untamed Safaris organised our trip and excelled in all aspects of the booking.

Fabulous experience dealing with Ryan, couldn’t have been happier
5/5

With so many different tour companies to choose from for our ‘African’ adventure it was difficult in make a decision. Once we narrowed down the search to Untamed we couldn’t have been happier. Ryan was quick to get back to us if we had any queries and catered to our specific requests.
Even when airlines altered flights he was quick to contact us to check everything was reorganised to our satisfaction. Very happy with our experience booking with Untamed.
The tour itself was fantastic and the accommodation was top notch. Well done! You went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend Untamed!

Ryan from Untamed Safaris was the ultimate in tour operators!
5/5

Just returned from the most amazing trip to South Africa organized by Ryan of Untamed Safaris. The itinerary was so well planned & ticked every experience we have always dreamt of doing in Sth Africa. Every minute detail Ryan planned went off without a hitch …. exciting destinations, beautiful accommodation, great internal flights, tours, guides, transport & the list goes on, absolutely faultless! The beauty of Sth Africa, the warmth of the African people & the majestic animals in their natural habitat (Especially the BIG 5) will remain with us always as being our most exciting holiday ever. THANKYOU again Untamed Safaris would not have been possible without you. We cannot recommend you more highly.
