Amazing Operator Delivering Amazing Experiences!!
I wanted to pass on feedback from our first tour with Wayfairer Travel thus far.
First off, they did an amazing job as a team to make everything seamless. We had the multiple transfers (7 via car and three flights). All were well coordinated and timely, with comfortable vehicles and really nice drivers. Ilios and African Safari adventures were great. All flights with Airlink were on-time and very comfortable. Far superior to flying coach in the U.S. Hats off to Chanel for getting our seats changed on the balance of flights.
Honeyguide Montobeni was an eye opener and amazing. We call it "Glamping" in the states, and we enjoyed it so much. Chilly mornings and nights with beautiful days. The staff was great, the food wonderful and plentiful and the drives were amazing. Our guide Jordon was really good-wonderful spirit with incredible experience and so kind.
Elephant Plains is a very pleasant place to stay, but we had some hiccups initially, which they promptly addressed. Our Tour Guide (Nick) was not as great as Jordan, which we thought was a function of being a bit immature.
That said, we really enjoyed our stay.
Our trip to Victoria Falls was amazing and well-coordinated. We stayed at Batonka Guest Lodge, which was beautiful, very well run and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed a lovely dinner cruise and met some fun friends. It was a great way to experience VF.
Overall, we so appreciated everything the Wayfairer team did to make this a flawless journey. This was a bucket list trip, so much so that we're trying to talk our son (married next year) to book the same as their honeymoon. It will certainly be with Wayfairer.

The tour operator is gentle and patient and ensured we had everything we needed for our excursion.
I joined a mokoro tour group as a single traveler and had the greatest time. Our tour operator, G, was gentle, punctual, and provided everything we needed for our day trip. Our lunches were delicious and filling. Our polers were experts, barely moving the boats as they drove us through the river. We saw hippos, elephants, zebras, and many birds during our trip. One of our guides took us on a nature walk and pointed out animals we would want to see and softly explained all about them and what we were seeing. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting in the area!

A Vehicle Accident and What Followed
Our safari with African Big Cat Safaris in May 2026 was unfortunately marked by a serious vehicle accident, and I believe future travellers should be aware of both the incident itself and the company's response afterwards.
During our safari in the Serengeti, the vehicle left the road and came to rest on its side. Official incident reports and a traffic citation were issued following the accident.
Several members of our group sustained injuries. I was seated in the rear row of the vehicle and, after returning to China, CT imaging confirmed fractures of the L1-L3 lumbar transverse processes resulting from the accident. Another member of our group was diagnosed locally with a mild concussion.
Local medical assistance was arranged after the incident, and based on the medical assessments available at the time, no serious bone injury was identified. However, both the concussed passenger and I were unable to participate in safari activities the following day and remained at camp while the rest of the group continued the itinerary.
To be fair, the company covered local medical expenses incurred in Tanzania and provided the accident documentation when requested.
My concern relates less to the accident itself and more to the level of care and support shown afterwards.
After returning home, medical examinations confirmed injuries that had not been identified locally. We submitted the relevant medical evidence and attempted to resolve the remaining accident-related costs through direct and respectful communication.
We also limited our request and did not pursue compensation for missed safari activities, damaged personal property, loss of income, rehabilitation costs, or other indirect losses. Instead, we requested a modest contribution toward a small portion of the accident-related expenses that remained uncovered by our travel insurance.
The company ultimately declined any form of goodwill support beyond the medical expenses already covered in Tanzania and informed us that its position was final. More importantly, at no stage did we feel there was meaningful acknowledgement of the impact this accident had on the injured members of the group.
Safari travel inherently carries risk, and I understand that accidents can happen even with experienced operators. For me, the most important measure of a company is not whether an accident occurs, but how it responds when guests are injured.
I encourage prospective travellers to ask detailed questions about vehicle safety procedures, seatbelt policies, emergency response arrangements, accident reporting processes, and post-incident support before booking.
This review reflects my personal experience and is supported by official incident records, medical documentation, and correspondence with the company.

The best tour ever
Our safari in Tanzania was truly the experience of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized, and the guides were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about wildlife and nature.
We visited several national parks and had the opportunity to see the Big Five up close. Watching lions in their natural habitat, seeing large herds of elephants, zebras, and giraffes roaming freely across the savannah was simply breathtaking. Every game drive brought new surprises and unforgettable moments.
The accommodations exceeded all expectations—comfortable, clean, and located in stunning settings surrounded by nature. Waking up to the sounds of the African wilderness and watching the sunrise over the savannah was something truly special.
Tanzania is an incredibly beautiful country, and a safari here is unlike anything you can experience elsewhere. The landscapes, wildlife, and overall atmosphere were absolutely magical. If you’re considering a safari adventure, I cannot recommend Tanzania highly enough. It was worth every moment and every penny.
A perfect 10/10 experience that created memories we will cherish forever. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience
Very good experience. The trip to Serengeti is a bit long. But the guide and driver Melita, very experienced, always found various wild animals quickly. Very good!The first campsite was in a fantastic location, but the facilities could have been a bit better. The same was true for the second campsite.I would like to highlight the head chef Lucas, very simple but careful, and he cooked very well, despite the limitations of the conditions. I really liked the head chef, Lucas.The guide Melita was very helpful.
