It was altogether a wonderful holiday – and I will certainly recommend Safari Consultants if I have friends needing similar help and advice. Thank you.

Everything about this holiday was first class. I will happily recommend your company to anyone I know who wants to go on safari in Africa!

Ride Botswana – definitely the best riding safari I’ve done. Horses were fantastic and riding was just right for me with good long canters but also spells at a slower pace so not as hectic as Kenya rides for example. Excellent guiding from David with nice mix of horse and non-riding activities. Meerkats certainly a highlight!

Dear Bill, I would like to thank you and your staff for being very patient and helpful. This was my first experience of a safari. All the arrangements were spot on and all the information you supplied left me with no worries. Congratulations on providing a first class service. Once again a Big Thank You.

I cannot express the sheer joy of the experiences I have had over the last week. The skill and knowledge of the camp staff at Kicheche Camp was exemplary. I would not hesitate to go back again and to recommend it to others.

Hi Rob, just to say that we had a wonderful holiday, everything came up to expectations and more. I just loved it, I always knew I would and to me the safari was the highlight and I would love to do more of that. All the accommodation was excellent. We had wonderful experiences at all our destinations, with the staff always being very helpful. The Kwandwe safari was truly a memorable experience. The size of the reserve was awesome. Thank you for all your advice. We had a holiday as well as seeing lots. Thanks very much Rob for getting absolutely right for us.

Hello Mary, when people do bad jobs then we are quick to complain, less so when we have received great service as we reason “well that’s what we paid for” and so the moment passes. I couldn’t possibly do that to you, starting from a point where I thought I was spending a lot of money on a holiday and I couldn’t really get value from it, could I? Well you delivered in spades, everything went perfectly, every direction, every arrangement, every stop off point all were out of the top draw. The itinerary was not only carefully planned but designed to make sure that one way or another we saw and experienced everything we could have wished for…elephants a plenty, lions a roaring, giraffes a watching and wild hunting dogs of course a hunting. The accommodation, food, hospitality at every stop was excellent, I believe I made friends that I will want to be in contact with for life and the days were fun filled and exciting. I have to mention OL Malo and Rockie and Colin, wonderful place and wonderful people, but I must also give the best of plugs for Lewa and Naboisho. Did I get value..oh yes..was it an experience of a life time definitely and would I trust you guys..in a heartbeat. Thank you, thank you.

Emakoko rocks! Great setting, excellent food, outstanding hospitality. For me, Lewa was a mixed bag – good accommodations and game watching but we just didn’t synch with the people there. Sarara was my favorite place. I loved the setting and there were plenty of animals about, including a leopard that called repeatedly all around our tent the one night. Rondo was an excellent place to stay. Gorgeous gardens and lawns, scrupulously tended, with the possibility of walking directly into the forest from the back lawn, was great. The food and service were excellent. We liked Serian Camp (the camp itself) – was Paul’s favorite – and I would agree that the Mara is impressively game-rich. However, I think there are too many camps. We did have an excellent Masaii guide there (Dominic). We loved the extensive grasslands and walked everyday, on both sides of the river. Overall, we had a great time and really appreciate your excellent assistance in putting together a really enjoyable trip.

Hi Mary, we have had a fantastic time in Kenya, we both think this was the best holiday we have had. All the tented camps were super, could not fault the hosts, staff and guides, the weather was great apart from 2 storms in the Masai Mara, the balloon trip was excellent and of course the main highlight was the game viewing. In Rekero we saw the big 5 all in one day, including the big male leopard called “Golden Balls” which had not been seen since November last year. Even the guides (2 lovely masai men) were bubbling over with excitement. In Kicheche Bush we watched lions with a zebra kill (already dead luckily) for 1 and ½ hours while they fought off hyena’s, jackals, eagles and vultures, it really was fascinating. Thanks again for organising our trip, we are already thinking about going back next year!
