Philip and Samantha from Lincolnshire travelled to Kenya and Tanzania

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.

Naomi from Hertfordshire travelled to Tanzania

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.

Peter and Anne from Peterborough travelled to Tanzania

Rob, we had a wonderful time in Ruaha and Selous. The mix of activities/camps and the order in which you planned them worked brilliantly. Kigelia was the perfect way to start our Ruaha adventure to understand the baobab forest landscape and the sheer size and wildness of the park with its dried up sand rivers and reliance on the trickle down on the Ruaha River which seemed to attract nearly all wildlife. Our guide Raj was excellent and the camp staff first class. We focused almost entirely on game drives rather than walking given that Kichaka was going to be a full on walking experience. Kichaka was just that – with the charismatic Moli and Noelle hosting us. We had a wonderful time both out walking and in camp with entertaining and informative conversations. Moli is a larger than life character who blew us away with his passion, enthusiasm and knowledge. He told us things we had never heard or seen in years of travelling around Africa. The walking was a steady pace and although not massively productive in terms of close encounters, we did track and follow elephant on several occasions but the small things are so fascinating and Moli brings them to life with the most enlightening delivery. Game drives yielded cheetah, lion, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, elephant, a variety of game and loads of birds. Fly camp was incredibly simple – by the river bank with a dining table literally on the sandy beach. Elephant and other wildlife came through camp at night which was wonderful. Sand Rivers in Selous was spectacular and after our five days of hard walking, it was wonderful to feel just a little pampered with a comfortable room and communal areas. We went up the Sieglers Gorge with a bush picnic breakfast on a sand bank which was memorable and also did a river trip with sundowners. We also visited the lakes – including Tagalala and were gobsmacked by the volumes of game/birdlife. It was brilliant. Food and hosting from camp manager Michelle was excellent and we really were made to feel very much at home. All in all a wonderfully memorable trip. Thanks again for your knowledge, expertise and understanding of what matters most to Anne and I – we are already thinking of where we go next……!

Maxine Tanya, Aux, Tanner, Callison & Williams from Canada travelled to Kenya and Tanzania

Rob, I just wanted to take few minutes to thank you once again for organizing such an amazing trip for our family. I had some reservations that it could be as good the second time but in fact it was just as great! We felt so well taken care of from the time we arrived in Nairobi until the time we left Dar es Salaam. Kicheche Bush, Fly Camping and Kicheche Valley were all just unbelievable. The customer experience is really top notch. I want to thank you for encouraging me to do the fly camping – it was truly a remarkable experience and I would definitely recommend it to others. We found that even though we had different hosts and different guides that the quality did not suffer – in fact sometimes the change was amazing! Kicheche does a great job with their camp hosts and their replacements and we all felt really well tended to. I really feel that the guides are so well informed that we learn so much each time we go out. It is fairly jarring to come off the all encompassing care / libations/ meals of safari and arrive at half board. I was unprepared for the constant signing of bills, with different servers at different locations for waters, coffee’s, drinks etc and trying to keep track of 6 people’s food and beverage intake and tipping. However I would like to say that the food quality and property at Breezes all really exceeded my expectations. It was by far the best “mass” buffet breakfast I have been to, and we do travel a fair bit. Thank you for arranging the deluxe rooms – the sea view in the morning was stunning. Additionally the management went out of their way to make sure we were happy – we had something broken by housekeeping and they arranged complimentary massages (lovely spa) and sailing for the kids. We also took advantage of their water sports centre and went snorkelling and the kids arranged scuba through the onsite dive shop. We are so fortunate to have had you planning these two very special trips for us and I am hoping we will be so lucky as to get a third time to organize something with you.

Ben and Madeleine from London travelled on honeymoon to Kenya and Tanzania

Dear Julia, we had a wonderful honeymoon! Everything went smoothly from internal flights to airport transfers, and Kicheche & Pongwe were exactly the sort of places we had hoped to stay at. Thank you for your hard work to understand what we were after and to set it all up for us.

Dominic, Wallis and Max from London travelled to Kenya and Tanzania

Hello Frances, I had no doubts that we would have a great time, but the safari in particular was amazing. There were several special moments, but the one that stood out was when the leopard had disappeared on the other side of the gorge from where we parked. We waited for a while and then assumed she had left but just then she popped up only inches from our faces! Although we never saw a live kill, we saw a leopard dragging the dead antelope down from the tree for further consumption! The camp itself was great, luxury camping without it being over-the top. Baraza – we thought the quality of the food was outstanding. And the breadth of choice very good too. All in all a great holiday and many thanks to you and your team.

James, Caroline, Grace and Lara from Bristol travelled to Kenya and Zanzibar

Hi Joe,
A quick note to thank you for your help with our holiday. We have had the most amazing time. We were so impressed with both Kicheche camps, and our time on safari was unforgettable. As you are no doubt aware, the rains seem to have come late this year, so the Great Migration hadn’t reached the Masai Mara yet, but it didn’t matter for us as there was so much to see – it really did exceed our expectations. Next Paradise was lovely, and just what we needed after a week of early starts on safari. I have to say you really did a great job of understanding what we wanted, and tailoring a trip that was exactly what we were hoping for. I will have no hesitation in recommending Safari Consultants to anyone who is planning to go on safari in the future. The only problem that we have been left with is that what was intended to be a once in a lifetime holiday has already triggered conversations about the next safari we would like to do! Once again, many thanks.

Adam and Nathalie from East Sussex travelled on Honeymoon to Kenya & Zanzibar

Hey Julia, we had an absolutely amazing time, thank you so much for organising. Kenya was just incredible, amazing camp, Debbie was great as were the rest of the team. We saw so much – so many Lions, Cheetahs, one beautiful Leopard, Elephants, Zebras, Giraffes, Ostriches etc etc. The room in the camp itself was beautiful, the food was amazing and everyone was so friendly. Zanzibar was absolutely stunning, Zawadi hotel was exactly what we were looking. Only a small number of places, beach a few minutes’ walk away, beautiful plunge pool, unbelievable sea and the staff really could not do enough for you. It was really a perfect honeymoon. It was exactly what we wanted from our initial brief and above and beyond our expectations. I have already recommend you to lots of people! Thanks so much!
