Hi Rob, we are back safely from a brilliant trip to Kenya – lots of great wildlife, interesting culture and complex conservation issues. The balance of the trip really suited us and visiting the different camps/lodges gave us a more complete appreciation of wildlife and conservation in the country. Thanks again for putting together a great trip for us.

Jonathan and Hilary from Buckinghamshire travelled to Kenya

September/October 2017

Dear Michele, in short, the trip was simply fabulous and exceeded most (if not all) our expectations. Much of the itinerary was just perfect and it is difficult to envisage how it might have been bettered. We want to thank you for all your hard work in customising our trip and making this such a wonderful holiday. Thank you too for responding so quickly and effectively to our delayed outward flight and onward travel rearrangements. This all proceeded without a further hitch and we were able to quickly forget about the rather stressful start to the holiday. Once again, many thanks.

Neil and Sue from Surrey travelled to South Africa and Botswana

Dear Michele, Botswana was, as usual fantastic and I know that Steph thought so as well. We both had an absolutely great time together, and all your arrangements, timings, connections, etc. went smoothly, as they always do. Thank you very much indeed for organising what was the perfect safari trip for us.

Hi Michele, just to say we had an outstanding time once again. Bush camp was as amazing as last time and it was lovely to spend time with Nick and Liz. Amazing 4 days spent with an enchanting 4 month old leopard cub who played to her audience – sometimes just us, and the camp next door now has horses so we got to gallop amongst the wildebeest. Thanks again for great organisation.

Mark and Andrea from Ancaster travelled to Kenya

September 2017

Hi Bill, we just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all your team for a totally amazing holiday, all five of us loved every minute of it. Both Kicheche camps were brilliant, we saw hundreds, probably a few thousand animals and birds, have got over 1,500 brilliant photos and we loved the Ocean Spa Lodge; a very special and peaceful place. All the travel arrangements were perfect too. Thanks so much for everything.

Hi Rob, we had an amazing time. We thought this may be our last trip to Zambia for a while as we thought we may be getting bored with it BUT within 48 hours of being in Kafue, Steve was planning our next trip! We loved Musekese – what a great place. The camp location was great overlooking the lagoon. We saw lots of elephants, Lions walked past camp one morning and it was great seeing bush pigs (in the distance) for the first time. Phil was an excellent guide, we loved his passion for conservation and his ideas for the future of this area. We had an amazing time at Mwaleshi, We tracked lions and came upon them by surprise. We also saw a black mamba snake in a tree, were lucky to see wild dogs by the river and a large pack of hyenas. Nkwali was a nice camp – lots of elephant and giraffe around plus 2 sightings of leopard. We had a new experience of crossing the river on a pontoon which was interesting, especially when a hippo jumped out from underneath the pontoon as we were crossing and startled the guys pulling on the levers. It was great to see Kanga again. We loved the fly camping at Mupamadzi – the tents were excellent, better than we expected. The walking was excellent too and the guides fantastic. We saw lots of game – we were charged by buffalo quite a few times! We found 3 lioness/cubs, saw lots of elephants, a big herd of Roan and were even charged by a warthog which was quite funny. Thanks!

Stephen and Caron from London travelled to Zambia

Sept/Oct 2017

Hi Michele, We would just like to let you know that we have returned from a really fantastic holiday. It was a truly wonderful experience, the Safari was amazing made by the quality of the camps, the friendly staff, fantastic food and of course the animals were truly magical. The Breezes hotel was excellent and a lovely contrast to the Safari. Safari Consultants certainly know their job and we’re spoken highly of by camp managers and other guests we met. Everything seemed to go like clockwork with the itinerary for us. The only down side, on our way home, the last flight from Amsterdam to Manchester was cancelled so rather than depart at 10.10 am we didn’t get away until 2pm, but as they say ” Hakuna Matata”. So, thank you for organising a holiday of a lifetime for us and of course we now can’t wait until we do another! So watch this space!

Chris and Carol from Caton travelled to Kenya

September 2017

Dear Rob, The holiday was wonderful and the arrangements, as always, were perfect. Thank you! The itinerary was so varied and interesting – stunning flowers, arid desert, gentle blue lagoons, wild Atlantic, remote locations, spectacular landscapes, amazing game drives, walks, sunshine…! What more could we ask for? Thank you again for another memorable holiday

Richard and Pamela from Leicester travelled to South Africa

August/September 2017

Hi Rob, great trip! Really enjoyed everything. Rwanda and Bisate were amazing. Fantastic start to the holiday. We even saw the silverback mating which was awesome. We totally loved Lewa Wilderness & Ngare Serian and were really sad to say goodbye to Kenya! As far as game the last camp was the best and we really enjoyed Adrian and his team and loved falling asleep to the rushing water. Thanks again for organizing!

Kimberly, Alun, Madison and Phoebe from Bermuda travelled to Kenya and Rwanda

August/September 2017

Hi Michele, Thank you so much for arranging an excellent holiday. In terms of Safari Consultants and your service, particularly, I cannot fault anything!!! It has been 5-star all the way. We would certainly come back to you again on our next African trip.
