Wayfairer put together an amazing trip for my family of five to Madagascar. I talked months prior to the dated to Leonide and she asked to very specific questions to tailor our trip. Madagascar is a great destination but, not easy travel. We were so pleased and happy to have exactly the trip we were dreaming for. Our guide was just perfect, logistic, transportation, food and lodging were right what we were asking. We felt always very well care and we knew we can count with the agency support if needed. Thank you Wayfairer team!

Dear Ximena, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review of your incredible trip to Madagascar and your experience working with our team. We're so happy everything came together so well and you felt cared for. We look forward to helping you and your family plan your next exciting holiday. The Wayfairer Team
Having an expert on East Africa listen to our wishes, advise on the options and best value for our budget was invaluable. The choice of hotels and safari lodges was amazing. The organisation was impeccable: taxi drivers (prepaid - so no quibbling) waiting for us at each new destination, rooms ready, even dietary preferences accounted for. The food in each accommodation was delicious and healthy. We truly had a holiday of a lifetime which surpassed expectations. Travel in Africa seemed efficient and reliable. The only hassle we had was due to the long queues at Heathrow airport! Thanks so much to the whole team at Wayfairer (especially Cat von Bredow) for organising such a wonderful trip.

We were very happy to have had Wayfairer plan and organize our honeymoon. They worked with us through the pandemic and the birth of our daughter to reschedule and finally make this amazing trip happen. They chose amazing hosts and venues for our trip and this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Dear Andrew, What lovely pictures! And thank you for taking the time to leave us such a positive review. We're so happy you had such a great trip. The Wayfairer Team
Wayfairer organised and booked a safari to Botswana for us and it was an amazing experience. The suggested itinerary was on point with respect to our preferences and priorities, the consultant was very knowledgeable and responsiveness and service were overall great. Particularly once the trip was booked we were looked after very well to ensure a smooth journey and Wayfairer were tremendously helpful in navigating Covid travel requirements. I have recommended Wayfairer "offline" to others, so I am happy to do so here as well. For a safari or hard-to-plan-on-your-own adventure trip, I'd book through Wayfairer again!

Dear Mo, Thank you for your kind words. We're delighted to hear your trip to Botswana was a success and that you had such a positive experience working with our team.

The entire team at Wayfairer made our honeymoon extremely special! Right from the planning of the itinerary to the operational details, Leonie and June were patient, supportive and helpful. We won't forget this trip anytime soon and will be sure to work with Wayfairer again!

CONCIERGE SUPPORT: My family and I (6 pax) spent our 8 days Summer holidays in Zimbabwe/Botswana in July 2022, and we are giving the top score to Florence at the Concierge team. She has been amazing during the whole planning and assisting us with everything possible! We couldn´t have had a more dedicated person supporting us. Even the small details such as sweet notes left here and there (i.e. champagne in the room instead of Aperol Spritz, which she knows I love; the birthday of my nephew that she remembered, etc). Only the best experiences with Florence! Not to mention her patience with me, as I had to coordinate and agree on 6 different tastes and wishes. We couldn´t thank Florence enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ITINERARY: With regards to the itinerary in Africa, I spoke with Josh at the start of my inquiry and he was kind enough to reply with new suggestions to fit our budget and in good time. I appreciate that. However, it was a great disappointment for us when we discover that we were NOT in Okavango Delta on the day after we arrived at Nokanyana lodge on the 11th of July. Okavango Delta was clearly stated in our Travel Pack (more precisely pages 3 and 13). There was even a picture of the delta and a mention of the possibility of spotting rhinos! A great disappointment for us was when we found out on day 2, by the lodge manager, that we were actually on the outskirts of Okavango! It would be the same as if you pay for a trip to Central London and you find out on the second day that you were located outside Central London with no possibility to visit Big Ben, Tower Bridge, etc. I do remember changing the lodge to a less expensive one by the time Josh was planning our itinerary, but we should have been informed that the new lodge wouldn´t be located in Okavango. I remember mentioning to my husband that it was so strange that we weren´t seeing water when we were picked up on the airstrip to the Nokanyana lodge (3 hours drive). For that, I give a score 2 or 3. LODGES: Muchenje lodge fantastisc. Nokanyana lodge was very good as well.

Dear Daniela, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a detailed review of your trip. We're delighted to hear that Florence and the team looked after you so well - our concierge is so wonderful! And that you enjoyed the lodges on your itinerary. The Okavango Delta is a diffuse region and where you stay in relation to the central waterways is very much dependent on budget, as you know. However, no matter the budget constraints, we always try to allow our guests access to, at the very least, game driving in and around the more typical "delta-looking" areas of Moremi and Khwai wherever possible, even if the camp itself is located a little further away. Our apologies if the explanation of the camp's location wasn't thorough enough, and we'll certainly make an effort to be more clear in our literature in the future too. The Wayfairer Team
Wayfairer Travel handled all the arrangements for our fantastic Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Cape Town trip. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them. The accommodations, flights, transfers went perfectly.

Dear Irene, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a glowing review! We're delighted to hear your trip was a success and that you had such a positive experience working with our team. We look forward to helping you with your future travel plans. The Wayfairer Team
Overall a great Company to do business with and particularly in terms of responding quickly to the many questions I had and the willingness to lean forward to help - like pointing out flights I’d booked were likely to get cancelled. Another real benefit was having reps in country to provide help and advice. Everybody was pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. Their recommendations for the Lodges were excellent and as described. One star is missing because there is always room for improvement! In this case it’s the minor details like we didn’t get a map for our road trip (yes, GPS worked well). Nevertheless thoroughly recommend this Company.

Dear Mike, Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. We're delighted to hear you had such a positive experience working with our team and that everything came together for you so well. We're sorry to hear that your expectations of receiving a paper map fell short, which we'll certainly take into account for future travellers. We look forward to working with you again in the future. The Wayfairer Team
Both Wayfairer's service, and that of the in-country agent, surpassed our expectations which were pretty high to start off with. We normally wouldn't even look at "luxury" travel but contacted them because they got closest to an area we particularly wanted to visit. The trip was customised to our requests and was handled throughout in a very professional manner, which also managed to feel very personal and informal which is a very hard line to walk. The personal service continued even after we returned home.

The team at Wayfairer put together a memorable trip to Mauritius for our family of four. Even with a small confusion over excursion dates the team were quick to sort it out and it didn't impact our wonderful experience. We would recommend Wayfairer Travel to anyone that wants a tailor made holiday

Dear Tony, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're so happy to hear you had a wonderful trip overall. It's unfortunate that one of the camps you stayed at didn't quite meet your expectations. We'd very much appreciate some information with regards to where you think they can improve, as it's most certainly feedback the camp itself will value, so a member of our concierge team will be in touch to follow up. We look forward to working with you again in the future, The Wayfairer Team

Dear Ulrika, What wonderful photos from what sounds like an incredible trip! Thank you for choosing to travel with Wayfairer and for your really lovely review. We hope to work with you again to help you plan your future adventures. The Wayfairer Team
My family and I have just recently returned home after a fantastic family holiday on the wonderful island of Zanzibar. We booked the holiday way back in 2020 but because of covid restrictions we held back until this year, the girls at Wayfairer Travel were fantastic and stuck by us through the pandemic, advising us, and trying alternative destinations nothing was too much to ask. The knowledge they have is second to none, even though everything was done over the phone or through emails, the whole experience of booking the holiday was totally stress free. I would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to everyone at Wayfairer Travel, especially Maggie & Carmen for making this holiday one the whole family will never forget, and we can't wait to get started on booking our next break in paradise....thank you The K,s
