From the time we stepped off the plane at the Kilimanjaro Airport till the ride back to the airport in Zanzibar, Everything was Wonderful. George did a Great job managing our Tour and was Truly a Delight every day. We became Super Friends and by day 2 he was calling us Mom and Pops. We saw far more animals then we ever dreamed. We stopped counting lions at 46. We were Thrilled we saw The Big Five and now know why the Wildebeest Crossing is the “8th Wonder of the World”. Simply Amazing!!! Our accommodations were all very different from each other and very unique. We Loved our Experiences in each one of them. (Especially the Talking Shower) One of our many highlights was the morning of my birthday when I walked outside our tent and was Greeted by a mother elephant, her baby and family. On this same day, my birthday, George went above and beyond by setting up a celebration for me. Everyone dancing, singing, and surprising me with a cake is something I will Remember Always !!! I felt So Very Special. We were most impressed by the Friendliness of the Tanzanian People. We especially Enjoyed the children on their way to school waving and smiling as we drove by them. The Food was Outstanding at every location and the Box Lunches were Truly Memorable. Thank You So Much for Providing us with a Real Safari Adventure. We will enclose some of our Memorable Moments. We’ve condensed our pictures down to 500. Everyone always wants to know what could be improved upon. Our only suggestion would be more information about tours in Zanzibar during the planning process. Thank You Very Much!!! We are sure we will do business with Wayfairer in the Futu

We are just back from the most incredible adventure to celebrate 3 big family birthdays and a big wedding anniversary that Maggie put together for us. We went to Tanzania and Zanzibar. None of us had ever done anything like this before and Maggie managed to put together a 2 week itinerary that exceeded any sort of expectation we could have had. We saw and did the most incredible things that have left us all with the most wonderful lasting memories. We stayed in amazing places that were all unique and contrasting. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Wayfairer to anyone

My cousins and I recently returned from an awesome trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana which was arranged for us by Wayfairer. We knew nothing about Wayfairer except for the reviews I'd read online, but we are happy to report that we were so pleased with our experience. The trip unfolded like a well-oiled machine. We loved the Meet and Greet at the airport--so nice to be escorted after traveling for 24 hours! The safari lodges were excellent--and thankfully we were able to see the coveted "Big Five." Jess was so easy to work with during the planning process, and was very responsive to our budget limits, and to including the places we wanted to see. After the trip was put together, our concierge, Toon was very attentive and responsive to our questions and to some tweaking in the itinerary. Both Jess and Toon even went the extra mile to facilitate our travel plans after we completed our time with Wayfairer. During our trip, Toon checked in with us numerous times to be sure that all was going OK.I can recommend Wayfairer without hesitation. Everything was wonderful, and we hope to plan another trip with them one day.

We recently used Wayfairer to book our dream honeymoon. It truly was a dream honeymoon. We went to Kenya, on a safari and then to Mauritius. We can not thank Katie enough for planning such a special trip. Every day whilst we were abroad was planned brilliantly and we felt like we did not need to worry about anything. We knew our itinerary and had access to so much information about each place we visited through our Safari Portal. The level of detail and service provided by Wayfairer is second to none. The concierge team helped with any possible issues whilst we were abroad and it was reassuring to know that we had their service at our disposal should we have required it. We will look to use Wayfairer again in the future for any of our bespoke travel plans. We can not recommend Wayfairer enough. If you are considering booking a safari or want to experience a fantastic and bespoke service which caters to your every need, then look no further than Wayfairer.

Kenya's allure lies in its untamed landscapes, teeming with life. Yet, this luxury safari arranged by Wayfairer and their incredible team across several countries elevate this raw beauty by seamlessly weaving in moments of sheer luxury. It was an odyssey that tantalized not just our senses but our souls, making us fall in love with Africa's wild heart. From planning to executions having Wayfairer support is invaluable. This was our mother/daughters graduation trip--My daughter studies in Italy and I live in Texas-so Wayfairer had multiple countries and time zones to navigate. Before our trip we had a mishap with my daughter's Kenya visa which left her stranded in Italy. It was indeed a challenging and stressful situation for both my daughter and our family. But Wayfaire's commitment, expertise, and quick problem-solving skills was instrumental in navigating through this crisis. In moments of uncertainty, it was reassuring to know that we had a professional and caring team such as Som to guide us and advocate on our behalf. If you're seeking an African safari experience that marries the rawness of nature with unparalleled luxury, then contact Wayfairer 's Som and her team to curate a bit of opulence. After i came home and compared notes to other who have gone on Safari our Camps/Lodges/Meals were higher tier for the price! You didn't have to worry about anything it was all inclusive-Rest assure this agency will be looking out for you before-during and after. It's not just a trip; it's a transformational journey.

Our experience with Wayfairer was fantastic. We used them for our East Africa honeymoon. We're pretty savvy travelers on our own, but there were so many moving parts (3 countries, multiple safaris/adventures/puddle-jumping flights) that we opted to work with a local company. We were concerned that it would be too cookie-cutter since we had some unique stops we wanted to make along the way (we're climbers and wanted to do a day of rock climbing, etc). But from the first conversation, our Wayfairer rep was so helpful and accommodating--she knew a local climbing guide who could take us out, and made it clear that we wouldn't be part of a big tour group or anything too structured (which was our request). This ability to fit our travel style was really surprising and exciting because I always pictured tour operators as much more "packaged deal" versus "build your own." It absolutely paid for itself in how seamlessly everything worked out--from the initial trip planning, to resolving a couple of minor hiccups along the way, to little surprises that our tour operator had planned for us--we said probably a dozen times, "Thank God we didn't try to do this on our own." It was such peace of mind to have someone to help if we needed it, and to have every little transportation detail worked out without any stress or planning on our end. (We literally just hopped off a Cessna in the middle of a tiny airstrip in Uganda and had a driver waiting for us with a hot towel. It was insane.) Most importantly though, we were so glad to see our money support local companies--not big tourist chains. I would absolutely use Wayfairer again and feel spoiled for all future trips now. A big thank you to Toon and Leonie for all you did for us!

The Wayfairer Travel Team planned the perfect vacation for our 44th Anniversary in Kenya. The Saruni Samburu, Saruni Mara and the Almanara at Diani Beach were all great locations and provided excellent service. Wayfairer had someone waiting for us at every location to guide us through our travels. They provided an excellent itinerary with all the details on their web application. They were very responsive to all of our questions, and we had several as this was our first trip to Africa. Special shoutout to Leonie Taylor, our Travel Specialist and Thea Gabrielsen, our concierge. Thank you all for planning such a great trip. Kerry and Donnita Clapp

I contacted Maggie at Wayfairer to set up a Tanzanian safari for a group of 8. She asked questions to determine what we wanted and set up an amazing itinerary for us. Although it was the holidays, she returned my emails or WhatsApp texts promptly and made adjustments as needed. The safari company she booked for us was amazing; they had the most unique and beautiful accommodations (tent cabins and one lodge), knowledgeable and friendly drivers and delicious food. We had daily game drives, a walking safari, a night game drive, and booked a hot air balloon safari in northern Serengeti. Once our booking was complete, we were assigned to Toon, a Wayfairer concierge. Toon was responsive and helpful, answering our questions via email or WhatsApp text, and set up a Zoom meeting before our trip to ensure we were well prepared. They provided us with contacts while we were in Tanzania in case any issues or concerns arose (none did). At the end of our trip, we met for lunch with the safari company manager for a debrief and review of our trip. He listened carefully and took our comments to heart. On return home, Toon contacted us via phone to ask for our feedback, also taking our comments seriously and looking for any ways to improve. Overall, our group had a fantastic trip, we saw the "big 5" in 2 1/2 days along with everything else imaginable, thanks to our guide's knowledge of the animal's behavior and where they would show up. We highly recommend using Maggie and Wayfairer to book a safari or other adventure vacation.

I used Wayfairer Travel to book a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Africa (Botswana and Zimbabwe). Wayfairer were the quickest team to respond to my initial inquiry and I had an amazing conversation discussing all of my wishes for this trip. They made my dreams of Africa come true. The team was always quick to respond to my questions and communicated well through phone and email. The trip went smoothly and Wayfairer checked in with me every step of the way. I highly recommend Josh, Toon, and the whole team.
