Safari Consultants Traveller Reviews

I travelled with 16 other members of girl guiding uk from Northamptonshire. Everything's was incredible, everything organised for us in Nairobi dran like clockwork. The 4 day safari was incredible,, we saw so so much wildlife, lions, leopard, porcupine, caracal, hippos, giraffe, antelopes and much more.mthe bird life was also amazing. Thank you Safari Consultants, you have gained many Brownie Points.

Safari Consultants were amazing. I have used them before, and if I ever get the chance to go on another safari would use them again. I would highly recommend them.

We spent 4 nights at the Kicheche Bush Camp on the Masai Mara in Kenya. It was superb in every aspect, fantastic staff who made us feel very welcome and couldn't do enough for us. Everything done with a smile and so polite, it was wonderful. Emma and Darren who ran the camp made us feel very at home and looked after us very well indeed. A huge bonus was having a laundry service which was a great help as we were very limited with our luggage allowance. The safari trips were just incredible and we were very lucky to have an excellent guide called Jimmy who was so knowledgeable about all aspects of the wildlife and vegetation. He couldn't have looked after us better, we were in very capable hands. The wildlife was phenomenal, it just took our breath away and the camp itself was in a superb setting on a conservancy. Also on arrival we were given a mini safari from the airstrip to the camp which was so exciting, what a start to our what would be an amazing holiday. The tents were excellent and well looked after. The attention to detail was spot on and we really did appreciate it all. The food was fabulous a real credit to their capabilities and the staff were all very attentive. We then transferred to Nairobi for an overnight stop which again was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our next part of our wonderful holiday was 4 nights in Zambia at the Waterberry Zambezi Lodge near the Victoria Falls. Once again everything was fabulous. Stunning location on the river, wonderful staff and another very warm welcome. The accommodation was breath taking and the service from the lovely staff was excellent. The trips were fabulous, exhilarating and again all the transfer were first class. We loved every single minute of our very special holiday. We were utterly impressed with Kenyan Airways and would definitely recommend them as a good airline to travel with. The cream on the cake was as were leaving Zambia to come home the pilot got permission to fly around the Victoria Falls for us and it was the perfect end to a perfect holiday. Safari Consultants made it all so easy for us which meant we were able to just enjoy ourselves.

Fantastic. The organisation and attention to detail was superb. Lovely, helpful and informative staff and nothing was too much trouble. Their choice of destinations were excellent and the little touches were a bonus. Very good advice and information were given prior to our holiday. The organisation of our trip was perfect to the last detail. We would definitely use them again without any hesitation and would thoroughly recommend them as a tour operator.

Excellent trip to Kenya and Tanzania expertly organized for me by Safari Consultants. I stayed at Alex Walkers' Serian mobile camps which I highly recommend. Individual guides, spotters and personal vehicles make for the best game viewing experience. Good game viewing, very well trained and attentive camp staff and delicious food. What more could one ask for?!

I have travelled with Safari Consultants for over 25 years and never been disappointed with their service and recommendations. I am a solo traveller so it's particularly important to me that transfers go to plan and I am not left stranded somewhere. I believe their staff inspect all the destinations, lodges and camps they use to ensure that standards are satisfactory and to enable them to give the client comprehensive information and a full description of what to expect regarding accommodation, game viewing and the best times of year to visit each area.

We had the most amazing safari, so many animals especially lions with cubs [11 on our first Mara North game drive]and without all the vehicles one gets in the Reserve. Great camps, staff, food and guiding. Can't wait to go back again next year.

Michele was very enthusiastic about Kenya and her knowledge and experience was paramount in our decision to go to the Masai Mara Conservancies. She was very helpful and understanding and always happy to answer any questions we had however trivial.

Flew to Kenya on the very first flight out of Heathrow on Kenya Airlines Brand new Boeing 787. Arrived on time at International Airport and transferred to Wilson Airport for flight to Rekero Tented Lodge in the Masai Mara. Had 5 wonderful days there before transferring to Naboisho Camp in the conservancy for a further 5 nights under canvass. Both camps run by Asilia Africa. Game viewing was amazing, the staff and camps both excellent. In fact it was our third visit to Rekero. Flight home was on the same Boeing 787 which rounded off a fabulous holiday.

This was our fourth trip to Africa organised by Safari Consultants. All our visits have been organised by Jane Walker. From the first discussion as to which camps to the very last detail of the trip we have nothing but praise for the organisation. I think it speaks for itself that we have used them for all our Africa visits. I would recommend them without reservation.

If you want an excellent holiday, well organised by very friendly, competent people go to Safari Consultants and you will go without a hitch as we did, to Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa.

Able, competent, friendly and very professional.

Our first photographic safari was a memorable experience. Our host Bob Brind-Surch, Safari Consultants Limited and the staff and guides at the Camp were extremely helpful and worked hard to ensure that our holiday was special and that we had a great time. The location was superb, the Camp exceeded our expectations,the food was excellent and the Guides (especially Francis) were fantastic. We'll definitely be back!

Extremely helpful.

we visited South Africa and had pleasant stays at Grootbos Nature reserve near Hermanus, Cape Grace Hotel cape town and La Residence ,Fraanschhoek

very knowledgeable , helpful and well organised offering a very personal service

We travelled to the Northern Conservancy of the Masai Mara where we enjoyed what we thought was the perfect Safari experience. The camp was perfect, from the home comforts in the tents, to the staff, food, guide and beautiful location. The Kicheche Mara camp was perfect. Well done to Safari Consultants for getting it right. We have amazing memories and wonderful photos. We then travelled to Zanzibar for rest and relaxation with beautiful views and accommodation. We stayed in Breezes Beach Club. Just what was in order after our Safari.

We arranged our honeymoon through Safari Consultants and we feel like it was tailor made just for us because of great the service we received. Nothing was too much trouble and would highly recommend Safari Consultants to anyone planning a safari/holiday of this type. Any information or questions we had were always just a phone call or e-mail away and they were always pleased to here from us and more than happy to help with any enquiry. Everything was explained well, our itinerary was fully explained and all paperwork was clear and concise which meant that we had nothing to do except enjoy our honeymoon. We had described to our consultant, Mary, the kind of experience and accommodation that we would like and we were not disappointed. Perfect. We were treated like royalty when we were there so cannot fault anything.

We travelled as a party of 4 persons [2 x couples] to Ruaha and Selous reserves in Tanzania, and then took "R&R' at Pongwe Beach Hotel in Zanzibar. Having booked our international flights independently, all other arrangements were made with Safari Consultants who provided a seamless service with superb safari camps, and an excellent beach hotel where we could relax & enjoy all that a wonderful turquoise Indian Ocean could offer! Safari Consultants clearly listened to our requirements which were met in spades! The camps and beach hotel chosen had very good guiding, great atmosphere and all had impeccable practices concerning care for the environment, and promoting use of local people and industry. The animal & bird sightings were superb, and food & hospitality made this holiday very special.
