Safari Consultants Traveller Reviews

We visIted several game parks in Kruger and Klaseries, finishing with a week in Cape Town to see friends

Safari Consultants have organised three holidays for us and there have never been any problems and the arrangements have been superb. Everything worked like clockwork and the standard of accommodation is always excellent. This makes for a thoroughly satisfactory experience, with excellent value for money. They know their stuff! Heartily recommend them to anyone who wants an enjoyable and trouble free holiday.

In south stayed in 3 camps over 7 days with private guide and vehicle, excellent game viewing throughout with a number of very special sightings. All the camps gave first class accommodation, food and hospitality. In Lower Zambezi we stayed in 2 camps and again had some exceptional game viewing and bird watching. Both camps gave excellent service

For the past 15 years Safari Consultants have organised our trips to Africa, and we have never had the slightest problem. Their service is informed and based on personal contact with us and as importantly with the camps and lodges we visit. We would not consider using anyone else.

We had a two centre 10 day holiday in East Tanzania. The organization was brilliant and the accommodation fantastic. We saw plenty of wildlife. The guides/drivers were very knowledgeable and could answer every question about the wildlife and plantlife that we asked.

We were kept well informed and received paperwork in good time.

A 22 day holiday to Tanzania and Zanzibar taking in Ras Kutani, Selous and Ruaha safaris and ending at Echo Beach in Zanzibar. Everything was exceptional in every way. Flights, accommodation, food, guides and staff could not be faulted and made this holiday an outstanding experience.

Safari Consultants had listened to our requirements and put together a package that exceeded our expectations. This is the 2nd time we have used them and would highly recommend them for their expertise, friendly approach and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble.

The trip was to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary and it was our first time in Kenya and our first safari. We were looked after at the two Kicheche camps, Laikipia and Kicheche Valley extremely well and were made to feel so welcome. Both are on conservancies and we were very impressed by the commitment of all the staff to the objectives of the organisation and their genuine interest in what we saw and experienced. We saw far more types of animals than we ever expected and were amazed to see something new even on the last morning (two young monitor lizards)consequently our list of firsts is too long to mention!! A wonderful holiday.

At the outset listened to what we hoped for, asked lots of questions and then offered constructive and sensible advice to help narrow down what would give us the best trip. Responded quickly and was always available to speak to.

Great advice

We stayed at three different locations in Kenya, two luxury tented bush camps and a bush house. All the accommodation was well run, comfortable and the game viewing and guiding was excellent.

We have travelled with Safari Consultants many times over the last 17 years or so. We have have always been amazed and impressed by their knowledge, attention to detail and customer care. Every detail is meticulously planned (and with a safari moving to three or more camps in Africa, there are many details) we have never experienced any problems. I would strongly recommend anyone to travel with Safari Consultants.

Visited Elephant Plains in Sabi Sand, saw big 5 on our first day, excellent ranger & tracker with us for all 3 days. Transfer to Muchenje adjacent to Chobe NP, great river trip & drive down Chobe waterfront. Finished up with 3 nights at Waterberry Zambezi Lodge for sunset cruises, fishing, bird watching, see Victoria Falls and general relaxing on the banks of the Zambezi. First time safari for my wife & 20 yr old son who were apprehensive before travelling, but thoroughly enjoyed it and want to go again!

From first contact, extensive telephone call to understand my brief, exploration of options, to booking, answering queries, to delivery of a great product - outstanding service All arrangements were smooth & professional Would definitely travel with Safari Consultants again

bascially I asked Safari Consultants to arrange a holiday where I would be walking in the three Conservancy areas whilst fly camping in the Bush. I am pleased to say I got exactly what I asked for spending on average 6 hours per day walking (resting up when it was too hot). Being in foot allowed for instances such as (1) tracking two male lion for best part two hours and then after it was clear to the local guide they had split, he only peeked round a thicket to find one of them sunbathing his undercarriage about 15/20 yards away and it did not know we were there until his brother roared from 40/50 yards away and they both ran off. (2) getting into a downwind position from a mother white rhino and her sub adult kids (3 years and 6 years per the guide) and they finally realised something was there when we were 15 yards apart. The mother for a minute or two continously put one step forward and then back again as if she was indecisive as to charge but clearly could not see what we were . The guide finally clicked his fingers and the rhino retreated 30 yards or so and then stared at us as if to think "what the hell was that"

cleary they took the time to understand my requirements and am very pleased to state that I got what I asked for.

We visited four national parks within Tanzania, seeing unique wildlife in each, from colobus monkeys in Arusha, leopards in Lake Manyara, to the great migration of wildebeest in the Serengetti. It was a rich experience; great guides, comfortable accommodations, and extraordinary animal sightings. We were delighted with our trip.

The arrangements were impeccable: the accommodations were very comfortable, the food was delicious, the flights were on-time, the drivers & guides were knowledgeable and professional, and the information and documents arrived on schedule. Things worked as they were supposed to.
