Safari Consultants Traveller Reviews

Safari Consultants organized and wonderful experience for our family climbing Mount Kilimanjaro followed by safari in Serengeti and Masai Mara. All arrangements including the 7 day climb using the Machame route for Kilimanjaro, safari lodge accommodations, local transport, and guides were well taken care of. I would highly recommend their services.

Safari Consultants provided us with excellent recommendations regarding the selection of route to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, location of safari in Serengeti and Masai Mara for best game viewing and choice of safari lodges which suited our needs. They provided for all local transport including airport pickups and local transfers to the safari sites by light aircraft. All our questions were always answered in a prompt manner and they were very helpful overall.

Travelling from Nairobi by air and jeep we spent four nights in each of three camps: Tortillis (Amboseli), Kicheche (Laikipia) and Kicheche Bush Camp (Mara). Each offered excellent game viewing, though with differences, with knowledgeable guides. Food was consistently excellent, the service fantastic, and the welcome warm.

This was our first safari experience. Safari Consultants took our few, simple requirements and built from them a full, well organised and well thought-out itinerary. They were extremely helpful, supportive (and patient) at every stage, such that we had complete confidence that the holiday would be a success, as it was.

We went on a self drive safari to Namibia and were bowled over by the wildlife we saw and the places we visited and stayed. There was not one single aspect of the holiday we were disappointed with.

We went on a self drive safari arranged by Safari Consultants. The destinations and accommodation they suggested fully met with our needs and provided us with everything we could have hoped for in a self drive safari holiday. They really listened to what we liked to do and see and what type of accommodation we wanted.

A two day Safari in Sabi Sands staying at Umkumbe lodge. Great accomodation , lovely food and wonderful guides. Two days at Victoria Falls staying at Ilala Lodge. Nice rooms, a beautiful restaurant with great food. Helicopter flight over falls was spectacular and a must do. Elephant Safari was a special experience and a picturesque sunset cruise on the Zambezi River was well worth it. The highlight of the trip was our 3 days at Camp Hwange in Hwange National Park.. The staff, accommodation and food were faultless. Our guide Quinn was excellent . The drives combined with the friendliness of staff and other guests back at camp made our holiday truly memorable.

We used Safari Consultants two years ago for a trip to Kenya and were very impressed with their knowledge and professionalism. Our trip went like clockwork so when I decided to go back to Africa with one of my daughters I had no hesitation in contacting Rob Slater. Once again he was able to put together an itinerary that met both our interests and our budget. His advise and suggestions come from a great knowledge and personal experience of Africa. My queries were always responded to quickly and the trip was organised within a week. I would have no hesitation in recommending Safari Consultants if you are looking for a truly wonderful African experience. I

We had a two centre trip to Kenya. 3 nights in Lewa followed by 4 nights in the Masai Mara. Our first stop was in a chalet, the second in a tented camp. We saw everything we could have hoped to see and enjoyed excellent facilities, service and food throughout.

The trip was fully arranged by Safari Consultants from the first phone call asking for help in planning a safari. They guided us through the alternatives, answering questions promptly (despite an 8 hour time difference). Organization was excellent throughout - absolutely no problem at all with any of the arrangements

Mary Grimwood at Safari Consultants (with the help of Fran) planned our perfect honeymoon safari trip to Botswana. Her camp and travel recommendations were right-on. We loved every place we stayed and had exactly the mix of experiences that we wanted. She worked with us until every last detail was exactly what we wanted. She also made sure our honeymoon was special at the camps by having the staff surprise us with two romantic dinners. It was an unforgettable experience thanks to Mary.

Very professional and all the details were thoroughly planned and executed flawlessly. Very happy with the level of service and accommodations.

This was a safari combining the watery world of the Okavango Delta and the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers. Making the. Most if the Delta flood waters at Kanana and Shinde with land based activity at Savute and Muchenje. Something for everyone and when mixed with the always reliable Chobe provided plenty of wildlife action. Cheetah seen at Shinde fir the first time in many months coupled with Leopard and superb bird life. Lions galore at Savutie and hundreds of Elephant on the Chobe. At this time of year the skies are blue and the weather settled. Botswana has such variety of terrain and animals that it really has to be one of the bop destinations in Africa and oh by the way did I mention that the warmth if welcome and the effort made to give everyone a wonderful time from everyone , well I have now!

It is the in depth knowledge from knowing the locations and their offering matched to clients aspirations that sets Safari Consultants apart from the competition that makes the difference. This was our third trip organised by them and no detail was too small and the planning was efficient and personalised.

wide variety of landscapes from the coast at Walvis Bay and Swakopmund to the deserts and mountains Kunene and the vast open Estosha pan. Wildlife included desert adapted elephant and lion as well as the plains animals in Etosha.

safari Consultants understood our requirements and employed the vast amount of experience within their company to tailor the holiday to suit us. A task they have completed with equal success a number of times.

4 nights safari in Botswana followed by 7 nights luxury in Mozambique

Made the journey seamless from start to finish

This was a visit to Zimbabwe which is a country we like to think of as our second home and where we had not been for 12 years. In spite of media reports we had a wonderful holiday and could not recommend the itinerary Safari Consultants more highly. We visited Nyanga, Kariba, Victoria Falls a marvellous safari camp in Hwange National park called Camp Hwange which had the best guiding we have ever had on safari as well as comfortable chalets and excellent food. The Victoria Falls Hotel lived up to its reputation having just been refurbished, charming staff, excellent room and good food

This is the third holiday that Safari Consultants have planned for us. On each occasion they have come up with an excellent itinerary which has been exactly what we were hoping to have. They are efficient, helpful and have excellent knowledge.
