“Amazing company, couldn't have asked for a better Honeymoon! They organised everything for our Safari trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. Everything went so smoothly and all the small additional touches they added really made a difference. I would 100% recommend, a great relaxing experience from the moment we emailed to the moment we landed!”

“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.”

“A travel agent's task is to comprehend your requirements and then point you in the right direction based on that understanding, matching it to their profound knowledge of the chosen destination and objective. I don't think we could have had a better trip in terms of structure, timing, quality, service and rigid adherence to an excellent plan; it wasn't cheap, but bespoke perfection is never cheap.”

“We had a great trip to Rwanda, all went very smoothly from meeting our driver/guide at the airport to being dropped off at the end. Accommodation choices were great. If there was any criticism, it was just that one of the organised treks was a lot more demanding than we had anticipated. Still in now looking back glad to be able to say we met the challenge.”

“The best adventure and journey of our lives. Two women self-driving through Namibia. Our first time in Namibia, and we had a wonderful experience with Wayfairer who helped us customize our itinerary regarding to our interests and were quite responsive and had a lot of patience with our desires at all times. They adjusted the accommodations to our budget and guided us on how to complete our trip in the 2 weeks we had. Since our first contact via email the communication was very easy and provided us with ample information in relation to the tour. From the moment we arrived at the airport in Namibia we were received in a very friendly manner and when we arrived at the agency they explained absolutely everything about how to get to each place. Special thanks to Juan for his kind attention. If you are looking for a great tour agency, whether it is general interest or something specific, like photography, then Wayfairer is definitely the one to go with.”

“We visited Kenya and Seychelles in August 2023 as a family of four (two adults and two kids ages 5 and 7). Jess Tyers planned the best holiday ever!!! In Kenya, she picked the perfect game lodge for a family, Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages. We had the entire place to ourselves, with a butler and chef. The grounds were phenomenal, and we saw all the big 5. In Seychelles, we stayed at the Savoy which was right on the beach. The water was calm enough to swim in every day and the beach was beautiful. Every pickup was ON TIME. Every part of the trip was planned out perfectly. Whenever I had questions, Ruth responded quickly on Whatsapp. Thank you Ruth and Jess. I look forward to planning another trip next year.”

Maggie took note of what our preferences were and gave us options to choose from regarding the destination and accommodation. We were very impressed with the results.
