Safari Consultants Traveller Reviews

We were all four, two adults and two teenagers, amazed of the way Safari Consultants have guided and organized our trip the whole way through. From the first little request se sent to the arrival in Nairobi airport and all three wonderful camps and lodges we stayed at. It totally topped our expectations and we were simply attached to the unspoiled nature and animals in one place surrounded and protected by a kind and friendly community. We will definitely recommend the three camps we stayed at; Kicheche Laikipia, Sossian camp and Off beat Mara Camp. Especially the warm hospitality and wonderful activities such as horse riding and fly camps at Sossian was the high lights of the week that we will never forget.

We were happy for being in contact with Mary from the first email. She guided us the the right decisions of where to stay and which camps was best for our family and our requests. It was all a perfect match. Only to two issues we can add some comments; the restaurant for lunch near Karen Blixens museum and the giraffe center. We came straight from a lovely nature and beautiful game drives and then the driver insisted to take us to this restaurant, though we asked for another one we got recommended by Session, but the driver said there was no time. The restaurant was only visited by drivers and tourists. The food and drinks was more than one hour late, the staff dis´t speak well English and their service level was low. The giraffe center was disappointing in a matter of size and how to meet giraffes. It was like turning back to another century to see how touristy they have built up this place. We definitely thought it would be a much more Giraffe friendly place, and not a feeding place. We would have been happy with out this visit.

We booked at the last minute and didn't really have enough time for a holiday in South Africa ! However, Safari Consultants delivered a truly varied trip which well matched our holiday needs at this time. We spent four nights in Cape Town in a very well located hotel. Highlights amongst others included: a trip to Robben Island, a driving tour around the Cape Peninsular and an evening concert in Kirstenbosch Gardens. Next we drove to Paternoster where we stayed in a lovely hotel and enjoyed long walks along the beach, a very brief (for obvious reasons) swim in the Atlantic and fabulous sea food. We ended our trip in Franschhoek - with stunning scenery, great food and wine and another great hotel.

Safari Consultant's understanding and delivery of our holiday requirements was excellent, which we particularly appreciated given our last minute booking. We hope to plan another Africa holiday with Safari Consultants in 2016 including a Safari. We didn't have sufficient holiday for a safari this time but I know from previous experience with safari Consultants that they excel at providing great safari experiences suited to different requirements.

Safari in the Masai Mara, followed by a few days at the beach in Diani and then a night in the amazing Emakoko Lodge in the heart of the National Park in Nairobi.

Safari Consultants were very professional, responsive and flexible. I would definitely travel with them again and recommend them to anyone interested in a safari experience.

Great visits to Lake Manyora and Ngorogora Crater, followed by two seoerate three night stays in different parts of the Serengeti and then to top it off three days relaxing in Zanzibar. Went through the full migration twice ( once in each camp), saw loads of different cats and full of incidence, A great experience.

Highly professional devising a programme that exceeded our expectations, and then implementing it well. Always felt comfortable using them on a trip with 9 flights, transfers and 6 seperate hotels/lodges across Tanzania.

Great trip to three of the Mara Conservancies: pity about the unseasonal weather, several days of wet and cold. But some great game viewing especially on a day trip into the main reserve, the eastern Mara Triangle.

As usual worked hard to find the trip we wanted, lodges that matched our specific requirements. Excellent seamless travel arrangements

Staying at The Boma Hotel, Lewa House. Rivertrees Country Inn, Ngorongoro Serena Hotel, Serengeti Safari Camp, Nduara Camp, Lamai Serengeti and Ngare Serian camp. The whole holiday was completely mind-blowing, with excellent food and staggeringly good guiding from our Nomad guise, Kakai. A fabulous experience.

Everything was perfectly organised and the whole operation was incredibly smooth.

2 stop safari in kenya

Frances took a lot of care in understanding what was important to us and designed a wonderful adventure for us that respected the local community and environment at the same time.

This was our first visit to Africa. Our trip consisted of a 7 days safari, 3 nights at the Kicheche Liakipia Camp at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya and then 4 nights at the Kicheche Bush Camp in the Masai Mara. We then stayed one night at the Boma Hotel in Niarobi before travelling to Zambia, staying 3 nights at the Waterberry Lodge by the banks of the Zambeze River near to Victoria Falls.

Excellent from start to finish. Their attention to detail was first class and the whole trip went like clock work. We had many questions before we left home and they were very helpful and knowledgeable and answered all of our queries. We would definitely recommend them anyone thinking of travelling to Africa.

Totally exceeded expectations, was everything we had asked for and more. Will be going again.

Pleasure to deal with and listened to what we wanted.

Just returned from a 2 week safari in Kenya, starting at Kicheche Laikipia, then on to Lewa Wilderness, finishing at Kicheche Valley camp on the Mara. All 3 locations were truly wonderful, with superb, clean accommodation, exceptionally friendly efficient staff and fab guides. The wildlife viewing was excellent despite the late rains this year making the grass much higher than normal. The guides worked so hard to show us all there was to see. An amazing experience despite being our 10th safari to Kenya, all booked through Safari Consultants, who always come up with the best for us.

Safari Consultants don't just tell you where to go, they first listen to the type of accommodation we would prefer, budget, what we hope to do whilst on holiday etc, before suggesting various options which are then thoroughly discussed before final itinerary agreed. Can't recommend them enough to anyone who wants a truly special safari tailored to their needs.
