Jim and Janet travelled to Kenya

On the way home we commented “How can we top that? Where can we go that what be such an enjoyable experience?” Everything went very smoothly. Your choice of camps in Kenya was ideal, each different & excellent in their own way, all provided very comfy accommodation & a good variety of food (possibly too much!). We want to thank you for putting such a splendid holiday together for us. Having only had a couple of conversations Jane managed to pitch the whole experience just right for us and we are very grateful. We are already looking longingly at Botswana … we know where our starting point will be.

Geoff and Beate travelled to Kenya and Zanzibar

Dear Michele, A very big THANK YOU for the amazing holiday in Kenya and Zanzibar. After receiving information from two other organisations, I was not happy and my instinct told me to look further afield and this was a decision that I shall be thankful for. You knew exactly what we were looking for and even with the short notice you came up with a perfect itinerary and provided every detail necessary. Your advice about tipping, clothing, luggage etc., was followed and paid dividends. I do not know how you managed it, but the amount of time at each Kicheche Camp and at Ras Nungwi and Stonetown was perfect. Not too little and not too much. What I was dreading the most was meetings and transfers as I have had bad experiences. There was no need for concern as everything went off without a hitch and we had the most wonderful people meet us and make sure we were taken care of. I think our biggest hassle was filling out Immigration cards on the aircraft. If you especially arranged for us to see every wildlife imagineable – then thank you. I don’t think we missed anything. My only (half-hearted) complaint was that the food and drinks was so superb I put on weight. Thank you Michele and everyone at Safari Consultants, We shall be back.

Phyllis and Jean travelled on safari and to the beach in Kenya

Dear Mary, How sad we are to be back but we cope by living on our memories of yet another wonderful holiday. Asha Cottage and the beach were without doubt a little bit of paradise. As you promised we were looked after as treasured guests and virtually family members. It truly is a wonderful place for those who just want to relax in peacde and quiet. As far as how you can improve your service – that is impossible! Everything works like clockwork exactly as you set out in our itinerary and everyone who looks after us is both efficient and friendly. We just can’t find anything to complain about. Thank you so much for everything and all the care you take and for keeping your finger constantly on the pulse. We hope to see you again before too long.

Charlie, Laura and family travelled to Kenya and Zanzibar

Thanks for getting in touch Mary. We had a magical time, particularly at the Kicheche Camp which everyone loved. It was a great choice. Probably should have spent more time there on reflection and less at the beach, but don’t worry, the Baraza Resort was terrific as well. The only (minor) downside was all the travelling, particularly on the way back but we knew that was going to happen and it’s one of those things. Thank you very much for all your efforts in organising it, and being so calm when we had to switch it all around. Top job!

Peter and Polly travelled on honeymoon to Kenya

Exceptionally good trip. Both Kicheche camps had excellent staff. Msambweni was incredible – amazing service and fantastic food and accommodation. Safari Consultants have been excellent all the way through – especially regarding the problems over Lamu – Mary Grimwood in particular has been outstanding.

Duncan and Christine travelled to Kenya and Zanzibar

I can’t thank you enough. Endless trouble taken by Michele to listen before advising itinerary and selection was spot on for our party. Lewa was a perfect introduction to Africa and game-viewing. Meru, remote – several days we saw no other vehicles on game-drives and elephant visited our camp! Kicheche was everything you led us to expect. Beyt al Chai was stylish and friendly with an excellent restaurant. All logistics worked perfectly. Very reassuring. We’ll be back when we can afford it!

Amanda and Amanda travelled to Kenya

Hi Rob, yes we had a fantastic time, loads to tell you!! Kicheche Laikipia was as beautiful as ever although it had changed a bit since the drought in 2009! The new lake managed to swallow a large bull elephant who spent a wonderful time swimming and diving, and thoroughly enjoying himself. We had some fantastic encounters with our guide Mohammad including a pack of Wild Dogs and an Aardvaark. We spent a whole day following the dogs and were eventually rewarded when they hunted down an impala. During that day we also saw a zebra giving birth and stayed to watch until the baby was on its feet and trotting next to mum – took about 20 mins, amazing! Sarara was wonderful. What a beautiful area – I could have spent longer there. We saw two leopard kills and lost count of the number of leopard sightings. Did lots of walking at Serian Main Camp. Saw a leopard strolling past the camp on my walk on our first afternoon. Another day I went walking without Amanda and came across three lion on a kill!

David and Terry travelled to Kenya

Dear Bill and Mary, well we returned safely from another trip to Africa thanks to our good friends at Safari Consultants. As for the trip itself we can only say thank you for always knowing our needs. I was not expecting too much game at Laikipia and were we surprised. Besides the joy of seeing Andy and Sonja again the game viewing was excellent. We saw a Cheetah kill 2 baby Warthogs, which was a bit unsettling for Terry but it was all part of nature. We even saw a small pack of Wild Dogs on hunt early one evening. That is the only time we have actually seen these dogs hunting. Amazing animals. Unexpectedly Mara North was quite green and the game viewing was over the top. Here we saw the Wildebeest crossing the Mara back into Tanzania. Quite a sight. One became dinner for a lion and another for a Crocodile. At your request Patrick met us at Mara Camp and was our personal guide for both Mara and Bush Camps. He was terrific and we’d like management to know that. Bush Camp was exactly as we remembered. We are also pleased to report that several other guests mentioned they booked their Safari through Safari Consultants and had only good things to say about your attention to detail and concern for your clients. What more can I add about how pleased we are that we found you in Zimbabwe in 1995? We are already saving for our next trip and expect to bring another couple with us. Thank you again.
