Dear Joe, just wanted to say a big thank you so much for all the hard work & effort you put into making our holiday so special. We had the most amazing time and every detail was taken care of…we felt like royalty. It was such a treat to be met & transported around & our entire itinerary was perfect. We particularly loved the Mara, it was absolutely the right camp for us and we know you hand picked out guide too! The champagne was the cherry on the icing on the cake. Thanks for delivering 10 days of heaven. Please pass on our thanks to the rest of the team too. Everyone we have been in contact with has been professional & so helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend you & Safari Consultants to anyone travelling to Africa.![]()

Dear Rob, yet another superb holiday arranged by Safari Consultants! Masons provided every facility you would expect from a good travel agent. L’Archipel had good, friendly service. Restaurant serving creole food – OK but not my favourite. Denis Island was extremely well run, lovely friendly service, haute cuisine of the highest order, all produce grown on the island and of top quality. Very comfortable chalet with (almost) private beach and exquisite sunsets. Moderately good snorkelling on the reef off the shore. Constance Ephelia Resort had a very poor welcome, but our dissatisfaction soon dissipated when we were deposited at our accommodation which looked more like the best situated Beachfront Villa with its own private swimming pool and a welcome complimentary bottle of fizz and chocolate cake each night. We eventually found good snorkelling, not far from the beautiful beach and booked very good dinners wherever we wanted each night. In short we had an excellent holiday. Thank you again Rob for your good advice and excellent service.![]()

Good Afternoon Mary, Mike and I arrived back from Kenya after what can only be described as a holiday of a lifetime. It was amazing. From start to finish it could not be faulted. We felt very privileged to be able to see all those animals in their natural environment and to be able to share that space. As for your organisation, it was the little things as well. The leather wallet and pen. Questions got answered promptly etc. etc. I could go on and on, but as I’ve said it was amazing. Thank you Mary![]()

Dear Mary, so Kenya…………………..WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to say a huge thank you for organising the most amazing holiday we have ever been on, it was so magical and everything was amazing and went to plan! We got up so close to the animals and we have the most amazing photos to remind us of this mesmerising holiday! All the staff were exceptional and made us feel part of the family from the start, it was so lovely to get to know them and the others in camp. I loved every moment from start to finish and everything seemed out of this world! I must say I didn’t sleep much but I knew that anyway, however I loved being in a tented camp and having the authenticity, it was superb! The engagement proposal stirred up a lot of excitement in the camp, and it blew me away. I felt very special and couldn’t believe the efforts made to make it so spectacular. I keep looking at my photos as they are so amazing and I can’t really believe we had the chance to experience this holiday of a life time. We were so lucky we got to see everything we wanted too. Big thanks again.![]()

Hi Joe, we had a spectacular trip, beyond our wildest dreams. Took over 12,000 photos in 10 days. The Tamarind Tree Hotel was wonderful. Kicheche Mara Camp was perfect and we were treated like royalty. Thank you for making the special arrangements for our early arrival and the extra night at the Tamarind Tree Hotel. During our day in Nairobi we really enjoyed visiting Nairobi National Park and the Giraffe Center, using the Benroso driver, Jackson. We will certainly use your services again in the future if we have the opportunity to return to Africa.![]()

Dear Rob, the trip exceeded my expectations. Accommodation and food generally of a higher standard. I purposely did not do much research before going, so much of the trip was a wonderful surprise. Certainly has stimulated thoughts of visiting Africa again.![]()

Hi Joe, I have attached the questionnaire form duly completed and confirm that your service was, as always excellent both before and during the trip. All arrangements were smooth and everything superbly organised. Thank you so much – that makes a very big difference to my holiday experience. It is wonderful to be able to sit back beforehand in the certain knowledge that all will be well and that I merely need to read my instructions, turn up and then enjoy my holiday without worry or hassle. My life is full of doing things for other people, so it is a totally welcome break to be confident that Safari Consultants team will sort out my holidays superbly. Well done and thank you all again. I shall hope to be in contact with you again before long about arranging another trip.![]()

Hi Joe, Wow!!! What a trip to Kicheche we had. It was out of this world!! Whilst we did not see the infamous migration river crossing, we did get to see so many other things. The first day we saw a leopard up a tree – he was never to be seen again by anyone for the following 4 days. The cheetahs were on form and there’s lions galore!! We saw so many with fresh kills, unlike Botswana they were really active – none of this just lying down in the sun! When Bill said Kicheche camp was something special, I now know what he meant – the camp was excellent. The food every day was great and Carys and Tony were brilliant. The staff fantastic. There is absolutely nothing that could be improved about the place, perfect. I can’t praise them enough. Thank you again for organising an excellent trip.![]()
