"My wife and I visited Saruni Samburu and the Mara for her birthday the first week of March. To sum up the trip, we already made arrangements to visit a second time in September for our anniversary. We wouldn\u2019t want to spend it anywhere else. The camps and staff are second to none and the best I have ever come across. There wasn\u2019t a need of ours that went unmet, because the staff always anticipated before hand. Our guides at Saruni are now part of our extended family and we can\u2019t wait to return. Kampala and Joseph were so knowledgeable and gracious, not mention always safety conscious. We never had a fear, while in their care, on Safari. Truly the best Saruni has to offer! While in the Mara we were guided by Manfred, President Obama guide while he visited as a Senator. This speaks for itself, without further explanation. This man and elder was an incredible human being and great guide. Finally, the staff at both camps were just incredible at their jobs for the porter to the cook. Everything was truly first class. I mean FIRST CLASS! This experience meant the world, to my wife and I. We will never forget the wonderful people of Kenya or the Saruni \/ Mara camps. Thanks again for making my wife\u2019s birthday one for the books."

"Wayfairer did a terrific job helping us plan our family trip to Kenya. Maggie helped us figure out a great itinerary for a group that ranged from 10yrs old to 88yrs old, and Thea made sure all our lodges\/camps, transfers and activities were sorted. Our trip was a combination of safari and beach and they helped us pick accommodations and activities that felt personal - no big busy resorts. It was excellent service from start to finish and we all had a a lovely holiday. I would organize a trip with them again."

"We have just returned from our 4th trip with Wayfairer, this one, our third tour of India, visiting Mubai, Sikkim, West Bengal, Varanasi and Goa. Fabulous again, from when we arrived in Mumbai our guides and driver where there to meet us and at the other 5 airports. All guides sharing their knowledge of India and the local cultures and sites of interest. The drives always couteous and very safe. Also I have to mention the outstanding hotels being Taj Mahal Palace at Mumai, Brijrama Palace at Varanasi and the fabulours Ahilya by Sea at Goa. Another fabulous holiday, thanks to the Wayfairer team, that I would highly recommend."

"This was a holiday of a lifetime for the 4 of us - Cape Town\/Victoria Falls\/Botswana safaris\/Seychelles - and everyone at Wayfairer was absolutely brilliant in making sure all the arrangements were in place and worked perfectly. We wouldn't change anything about the trip and hugely appreciated the superb input from Josh and especially Toon who couldn't have done more to support and help us with our planning, arrangements and especially the choice and booking of venues, as well as our within Africa flights. The Botswana safaris were just breathtaking and have left us with memories to last a lifetime. The Wayfairer team are such friendly and brilliant people who we can't recommend highly enough - a million thanks Guys. \r\nBest wishes Julian & Sara "

“Wayfairer helped me and my husband plan our first safari trip to Kenya and Tanzania and the result was a marvelous adventure that we thoroughly enjoyed. Every aspect of the trip was excellent, from transportation, accommodations and meals to outstanding activities and guides. We were able to see an incredible variety of wildlife, benefit from the knowledge of local guides and experience the lovely people, culture and landscape of each place we visited. Both the planner, Angie, and concierge, Ruth, were most helpful at Wayfairer and communicated well by providing all the information we needed before the trip, keeping in touch with us during our time in Africa, and following up afterward. I highly recommend Wayfairer Travel!”

“Our Thailand/Cambodia trip was fantastic! From initial planning through to our return home, everything ran smoothly and exceeded expectations. To create the itinerary, we worked with Maggie who did an outstanding job meshing our interests with her recommendations based on what we told her. During our trip, June - our concierge - reached out to us a couple of times to make sure everything was meeting our expectations and to see if there were any issues Wayfairer needed to address (there weren’t). A highlight of the trip was getting to visit a hidden temple, lost in the forests around Siem Reap. The only way to get there was to travel on the back of motorbikes, over stones, streams, and roots. It was an incredible experience and well worth the time. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Wayfairer and will plan to use them again for future trips.”

“This is probably the hardest review I have had to make simply because everything was SO GOOD I am worried that anyone reading this will think it is a fake review. Our trip was a 25th Wedding Anniversary special holiday and having paid a lot of money we had very high expectations. Our expectations were not just met but exceeded in every aspect of the trip. From the minute we left arrivals at Victoria Falls Airport to the Departure lounge at Maun 9 days later, we were looked after at every stage and everything ran like clockwork. We had 3 different stops on our trip, Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Chobe Game Lodge and Xuanga Island Lodge in Botswana. Although 3 very different experiences (all equally as good as the other) the one consistent thing throughout was the wonderful friendly people who went out of their way to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. We knew, like every other traveller, we were just 2 more in a never-ending line of holidaymakers yet we felt 100% of the time that we were special. Nothing ever was too much trouble. All three venues/experiences were beyond 5 stars and better than excellent. We have been lucky enough to enjoy many holidays over the years and normally although overall good there has always been something or other that was either disappointing or not as expected. This trip is the exception. There was nothing, not one thing, that failed to meet or exceed or expectations. I doubt it is possible to get perfect in a holiday but this trip was pretty much as near to perfect as I believe is possible. Wayfairer Travel were brilliant from start to finish. The Sales Team especially Amelia were very helpful in offering options and changes to our schedule to ensure everything met our needs and budget. We told her what we were looking for and what sort of safari we wanted and she picked out the options that she thought best met our wishes. Everything she chose was exactly as offered. The Concierge Team, including Chanelle, kept us up to date with everything we needed to know up to and throughout the trip and were very helpful in organising our add on trip to Devils Pool at Victoria Falls. It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with a company who genuinely want to provide their customers with amazing service. So, to conclude. Would we recommend Wayfairer Travel?. Unreservedly YES.”

“Wayfairer organised our 19-day safari experience and we had an amazing time!! Rwanda - Kigali, Gorilla Trekking in Uganda, safari in Ruaha National Park,Tanzania (including a sunrise hot air balloon trip), safari in Nyerere National Park Tanzania and a super relaxing time at the end on Mafia Island. This was the first time we have used Wayfairer, and I’m sure won't be the last. We'd done some research beforehand and originally approached 3 travel companies to come up with an itinerary and quote for our trip. I can honestly say that Maggie - our consultant at Wayfairer - was the only one who really listened to what we wanted to achieve and importantly our budget. Maggie quickly came back with an excellent itinerary, of course, this chopped and changed a bit as we refined the details, but nothing was too much trouble. For the Uganda leg, Maggie encouraged us to book the Gorilla “habituation” experience, which was a great call, as we were able to spend much more time with these magnificent animals. All the accommodations, drivers on the ground, guides etc that Wayfairer organised were excellent and the whole trip went off without a single hitch. A great example was the “4 Gorilla’s Lodge” they recommended to stay in for our Gorilla trekking – it was super comfortable and literally a 5-minute drive from the Bwindi National Park HQ, where the treks start. A real positive compared to others we met who had stayed in lodges well over an hour’s drive away! We really liked the online multi-media itinerary that Wayfairer put together and it was great to share this with friends and family before we went. Once the itinerary was finalised and booked, the incredibly useful and helpful Wayfairer concierge service kicks in, providing all the information (visa requirement, vaccines etc) you need to ensure a smooth problem free trip. For our contact – “Toon” - no question was too small and they were always promptly answered. We had such a great time on this trip, that after the gorillas and safari, we felt compelled to send email updates and photos to Maggie and Toon – never done this with any other travel company! A great trip, super well organised – well done Wayfairer! Where to next?”

The entire trip, we felt like being hand-held as to the logistics and were exceptionally pleased with the services throughout. Additionally, the Lodges recommended, Ilala-Splash Camp-Muchenje Safari-Leopard Hill, were all a delight. The best part of each leg were the local people running the operations combined with the newfound friends that we shared in our adventures. Great thanks to Wayfairer for curating an outstanding adventure! We will surely work with your Team for future endeavors!!!”

“This is our first time using Wayfairer Travel and we’ve been very happy with their services. They planned our 3 week trip to Northern India and we loved every minute of it! The hotels they chose for us were all of an exceptionally high standard along with excellent guides and local reps. The attention to detail was very good and our company contact Lotte Nash was away there to help and offering the highest standard of service The highlights of the trip were a wonderful 7 day cruise up the Ganges from Patna to Varanasi. We visited remote villages and met the locals with our guide as our interpreter . On the last day of the cruise we witnessed the famous Aarti ceremony on banks of the Ganges in Varanasi. We then covered the Golden Triangle with the Taj Mahal in Agra being the highlight. Quite stunning and certainly a truly memorable visit. We have fallen in love with India and will certainly be returning in the future. We were very pleased with Wayfairer’s services and would highly recommend them.”

“As two Mums travelling on Safari in Tanzania and on to Zanzibar with seven young people (14-22), we needed a company we could trust and lean on. Katie was brilliant from the word go, our phone call and video chats were really reassuring and the detail in our online itinerary made it so easy to visualise the trip and share details across the group. Katie really took on board our requests for adventure, variety, authenticity and sustainability (with safety nets!) and took on the neurodiversity requirements within the group. Her suggestion to begin in Nairobi worked brilliantly, it kept the trip under budget and meant we got to see a cool city and a baby rhino! Chanelle supported us through the nitty gritty of visa applications and preparing for the trip. We were looked after really brilliantly throughout the trip, right from being met from the plane and whisked through security. Our safari guides were outstanding, the parks and animals incredible, the camps and hotels were all gorgeous, really welcoming and fun and our Villa in Zanzibar was just utterly fabulous. Our itinerary worked brilliantly and met everyone’s needs. We ate beautiful food throughout including veggies, vegan and fussier eaters. We were so well looked after by everyone we met. The best holiday ever, so many incredible memories.”

“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.”

“Outstanding. Wayfairer listened to us and suggested a trip with stops from J'Burg right across to Cape Town that was absolutely spot on. It had a bit of everything and was 'busy' without being stressful while ensuring we experienced so much of South Africa in the time we had - extremely well planned. The selection of hotels, etc. was excellent, while all the arrangements for car hire, etc. were all faultless. We were splitting off at the end of the trip to go and stay with friends and Wayfairer built all that into the plans. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wayfairer to anyone, and will certainly be returning to them for our next adventure!”

“In general everything was very good. I will mention the few deficiencies so that you can improve. In Setari we arrived and there was not enough food for all 14 of us. The manager said that next day food will arrive, that is UNACCEPTABLE. The manager at Setari offered hot water bottles in our beds due to the very cold weather these days. The water was warm, not hot, in the bottles. The next day I requested hot water bottles for two of us on the boat trip ( In Khwai we had them in our game drives) she said all of us will have them on the boat. The bottles never are arrived on the boats. Due to the cold spell we had, they should have closed at night the curtains in the windows, they did not do it completely even if I asked for it. In general that manager was useless. The best attention, personnel and guides was in Khwai, they were outstanding. Regards Juan”

“We were extremely pleased with our travel arrangements with Wayfairer. Josh and June were incredible, available and responsive to our questions and concerns. They helped us organize a 12-day self-drive road trip from Windhoek, Namibia to Vic Falls, Zimbabwe, for our family of 10. They took care of securing lodging and connecting us local companies to pick up our cars for the trip. We felt supported and ready to explore as soon as we landed. Wayfairer is highly recommended and we would absolutely use them again for travels to Africa! Thank you, June & Josh!”

“The team at Wayfairer Travel (massive shout out to Cat Von Bredow our travel specialist, and Toon Goss, our dedicated concierge) planned an epic intergenerational trip for our family of 12 to South Africa and Zimbabwe. Every aspect of our trip was fantastic - flights, transport, accommodations, guided tours and guides. When our visit to Table Mountain fell on a rainy day, a quick message to Toon and to the team on the ground resulted in a quick change and boom, we changed the table mountain visit to two days later. Thank you Cat, Toon and Wayfairer for a wonderfully memorable family trip! The Calis, Coleman and O'Leary Families”

“We had an amazing holiday with Wayfairer on a safari adventure - very much a trip of a lifetime for us and we saw some incredible wildlife. Although expensive it was good value and the advice and guidance we had about our itinerary was excellent. For example, having our vehicle gave us the maximum flexibility - There were a few 'blips' with some of the planning but this was a very complex holiday with lots of moving parts. Fantastic experience”
