Safari Consultants Traveller Reviews

Quite stupendous - a wonderful experience from start to finish. We embarked upon our first South African Safari trip (a private camp in Timbvati) followed by an excursion to Cape Town, then on to Hermanus, eventually spending three days or so in the Franschhoek area. 13 nights in total. We saw everything we wanted to-including all the wonderful wildlife, the key attractions, the main cities & towns as well as the beautiful countryside and vineyards. What with the internal connection flights as well as the independence of self drive across the country over our four destinations the sheer variety and breadth made the holiday a special, unique as well as extraordinary experience. We loved every minute.

They were extraordinary. Their knowledge of what we should see was brilliant. Their choice of luxurious accommodation superb. Their attention to the finest & last details of our whole trip was exemplary; a totally comprehensive, expert, personal & tailored, friendly, enthusiastic & positive service from start to finish. Everything was organised perfectly for us - and all plans went like clockwork. We were so delighted and pleased I have become somewhat evangelical about them - certainly persuading no one to embark on a Safari to Africa without talking first with Safari Consultants!

Exactly what we asked For, Safari was thrilling and fascinating and zanzibar was relaxing and beautiful

Cleared cared and worked extra hard to get all the details right which made it all so special

A National Park and a Game Reserve of outstanding natural beauty, away from the normal tourist routes and largely unspoilt wilderness. Siwandu and Jongomero two excellent camps: outstanding service, very comfortable tents with full facilities, good food, excellent guiding, some good varied game viewing if a little quiet at times. An excellent safari.

As usual put together an excellent trip selecting the destinations, the camps and lodges that met our requirements, all linked together with seamless travel arrangements.

Amazing trip, beautiful scenery, great food and wine and loads of animal experiences

They planned us a great trip which suited us well. Lots of little extras and good attention to detail.

Good well organised safari to Zimbabwe.

A good professional operator who listens to your wants and puts them into practise. Will go with them again.

very difficult country to travel around as one needs to return to capital Tana to travel to a new area. Hotels/Lodges generally less good than similar in African countries such as Tanzania, Namibia, Kenya ,Uganda and South Africa Tana airport is really dreadful.

always very efficient and provides good advice

My wife and I spent just over 2 weeks touring round Namibia in a rented Renault Duster. The holiday was varied taking in the Namib Desert, the Skeleton Coast and Etosha National Park. The sights and countryside were beautiful, wildlife varied and plentiful and the Namibian people very charming and welcoming. The country is arid and spectacular, roads a mixture of tarmac and gravel which need to be treated with caution. The holiday was one of the most memorable of our lives.

We arranged the holiday via our local agent, Jacquie Cole at Bakewell Travel, and selected Safari Consultants. We are grateful to Mary Grimwood at Safari Consultants for her expertise in putting together a fabulous itinerary. The accommodation was excellent and the places chosen to visit spectacular with clear directions between each location. This is not the first time we have used Safari Consultants and hopefully not the last.

We never thought that we could better our previous trip to the Masai Mara but this one certainly did. Superb photo opportunities and nothing too much trouble for our hosts at Kicheche.

First class organisation and communications from Safari Consultants.

Self drive around central Namibia and guided camping into Damaraland. Wonderful varied scenery and wildlife in this vast country. The people are so friendly with so many interesting stories. Walking to see Rhino and tracking to Cheetahs were amazing highlights.

Very knowledgable about the places we visited - the composition was very well balanced with time to see and enjoy all the special things. Good value for money.

Safari consultants put together a holiday one can never forget. Even for a nine day stay in Kenya it was so well organised , accommodation and settings supreme. A hiccup with lost baggage , airline fault, was sorted without hesitation. The safari camps were more than you can expect in the middle of the African bush and I promise you there were no shortcomings whatsoever ( sundowners, night trips,breakfast outings etc etc.) . Thanks again to Mary and Bill from Safari Consultants, just a warning.... We will be back. Adriaan Kraaijestein
