Created us the perfect honeymoon, fit our values of responsible travel
We wanted to go on Safari in Kenya followed by a beach holiday for our honeymoon. We especially wanted to use a company that specialised in responsible travel and Wayfairer was suggested.
Wayfairer totally understood what we wanted and their ethos totally matched our values. They created us the perfect honeymoon with companies and people that combined luxury with ethical and eco travel. We spent a lot of time going back and forth to create the holiday we wanted and could afford and Wayfairer were very patient! Throughout the process, their communication was great, answering any questions along the way. They also checked in halfway through the honeymoon to ensure all was going to plan and as we expected. A couple of weeks before flying, we had an issue with our flights (BA strikes cancelled our flight) and even though we hadnt booked our flights through them, Wayfairer were so helpful and supportive. On the holiday it all went swimmingly, we didn't have to worry about anything. Everyone knew where we were meant to be and all our transfers etc went without issue.
The whole holiday was perfect, I can not recommend Wayfairer enough.

Outstanding
The experience was wonderful. Paul and Matthew were amazing they were timely and worked very hard on the Safari. They were kind and friendly. I would book with tropical vacations every time I come to Kenya. The service is truly 5 stars!!

Trip of a lifetime!
Toured Cape Town, Leadwood Dulini Lodge in Kruger NP, and Victoria Falls.
Each location was an outstanding experience. Lodging, meals, service, events - all top notch.
Highlight was Dulini outings in the morning and evening for several days. Saw and took "up close" pictures of African wild game including Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Rhino, Hippo, Crockadile, Wart Hogs, Wild Dogs, Giraffe, Greater Kudu, Nyala, Impala and many more. Ranger Morha Leigh and Tracker Christopher were a delight! Knowledgeable, good communicators, and fun to be with.
Loved it all!

3-Day Camping Safari
The safari experience, overall, was great. Our driver and guide was very informative and did his best to give us the best view of the wildlife. And our cook prepared nice meals. I think Jerry Tanzania Tours gave us the best deal!

More than I ever imagined!
I had wanted to go to Africa for over 50 years... it was worth the wait! We chose Tanzania for several reasons but mostly because of safety and political stability. The fact that it had some of THE best National Parks didn't hurt either! We chose Savannah Explorers after researching nearly 100 companies and were totally satisfied with the service Roberto provided! He answered ALL my questions, made changes to the itinerary and was very efficient. The 12 day safari went off without a hitch. Our guide, George, a private contractor with SE was fabulous. Knowledgeable, fluent in English, funny, great driver and had eagle eyes! We chose September for the weather - 85 days, 65 nights - didn't miss AC at all - just perfect. We went to Arusha NP, Taragire NP, Lake Manyara and central and northern Serengeti NP. We saw so many animals and caught some amazing behaviors. Every game drive held something magical! Tanzania landscapes are varied, changing and just plain gorgeous! A true trip of a lifetime!

Great choice of locations and superb driver/guide.
From the start, Carol at Tekko was helpful, flexible and responsive. We ended up with a 2 location safari (Amboseli and Masai Mara), the latter in a great conservancy (Lerai). We saw many great things and especially in Amboseli where the guide (Issac) was from Tekko. Issac was warm, connecting, flexible and very knowledgeable. He also had a great instinct of where to go and we were often the first on the scene of something good to see.
Overall a great experience.

Amazing service!
I had a great experience with Spirit of Kenya. After reasearching for months on different agencies, I decided to go with them eventhough I had received cheaper quotes. André, the person who helped us arrange our trip was very patient, I made many changes. I never felt pressured to book with them and all the information I requested was sent to me on time.
The whole trip was perfect, they took care of everything, and I mean everything! Our guides in Masai Mara and Serengeti were AMAZING. We spotted a lot of animals and felt very comfortable with both of them.
I highly recommend this agency, you can't go wrong with them.
Our guides were Charles, in Mara and Tony in Serengeti.
I hope this review helps as I know its difficult to pick an agency (there are MANY) when you read so many bad reviews and experiences of other travelers.

Fantastic experience
This tour operator was recommended by a friend and it lived up to the expectations. The guide (Shabani) was very nice, interested, spoke fluent english and went out of his way to show us different animals or stopped the car to explain the where we were, to give some information about the animals we were seeing, and tried his best to give us what the parks can offer.
The safari went smoothly, without any problem, and we felt that the communication by email in the months leading to the safari was well organized, everything was taken care of (the pickup times from the airport, every accomodation knew we were coming....).
We would easily recommend this tour operator and our guide.

7-day Affordable safari at Tremisana - just great!
Really impressed with the high quality of everything offered; Kruger Park Tours did a fantastic job organizing our whole trip, having different activities to do each of the days, the whole team was very responsive to our initial email requests always replying in a timely manner, and they continued taking care of us during our whole stay.
With the help of Sonja and Johan we have spent one of the most incredible experiences in our life! We are very grateful and definitely will try to come back again to one of the safaris organized by Kruger Park Tours.

Excellent and amazing safari experience!
Our safari with Viola Tours & Travel was more than amazing. They listen very well too our wishes and do what is possible to make it happen. Our guide was a very nice man, good company to be with, speaks very well English, has a lot of humor and, last but not least, has a lot knowledge and experience about Tanzania and the animals. He has put a lot of effort in making our trip one we never will forget. The guide is an important factor of the success of a safari, we were very happy with our guide from Viola.
The vehicle was a new and strong one with everything you need. Very safe as well.
We will definitely come back one day with Viola. They offer value for your money, arranging and guiding the whole safari. Asante sana!
