Safari Consultants Traveller Reviews

This was planned to be 'the trip of a lifetime' and it actually exceeded expectations. Safari Consultants organised an itinerary which worked down to the last details. The accommodation and food at The Woodall Country Hotel and Gorah Elephant Camp was excellent. The daily trips from Woodall including transfers were on time, and the experiences of riding African elephant bareback; canoeing down the Sunday river; horse-riding through Addo National Park, and a half day safari at Scotia Reserve were truly memorable. Equally, the twice daily safari drives at Gorah were fantastic; particularly viewing elephants, zebras, lions in their natural habitat, and 3 renegade cheetahs who should not have been there at Addo, but added to the overall thrill of being close to these wonderful species. The knowledge, commitment, and enthusiasm of the guides about everything pertaining to Addo and its crucial role in conservation made every game drive a stimulating and informative experience. My husband and I loved it all; the only negative is the travel time on planes to get there land back!. We cannot recommend Safari Consultants too highly, and should we return to Africa, we would not hesitate to use them to plan our itinerary. Their attention to detail was 'second to none'.

As above, I included comments as above

We had an excellent trip to Kenya with memorable cultural experiences as well as varied wildlife viewings and scenery with wonderful landscapes. The end of the dry season did mean not so many animals on "show" but the landscapes and excellent guiding from our three camps was all that was needed. We certainly plan to travel again with Safari Consultants who carried out our brief perfectly and made all the internal travelling flow effortlessly.

We visited three camps/lodges for 3/4 nights each, sandwiched between stays at the Boma Hotel Nairobi. The camps were Offbeat Meru, Kicheche Laikipia & Saruni Mara; each had its own character and we were happy with all

Very efficient and easy to talk to, even when we made repeated calls.

This was a fortnight in Botswana beginning in the desert and ending in Linyanti and the Okavango. As our main interest is bird watching and this was our third visit to Botswana , we opted for the end of the wet season and were well rewarded in spite of the poor winter rains. We began at Camp Kalahari in Makgadikgadi, moved on to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve with Kalahari Plains and then headed for Savuti in Linyanti and finally total luxury and beauty at Vumbura Plains.

Rob Slater at Safari Consultants has organised all six of our African holidays and we have never been disappointed.From our starter trip in 2008 with our family (10 of us,ages 7 to 70!)to this recent visit to Botswana, he has always delivered a meticulously planned holiday suited to our particular interests, needs and quirks.We take his experience and expertise for granted but we always appreciate the considerable time he gives at every stage to equip us with the details vital for us to make the right choice.The result is invariably a successful, enjoyable, exciting holiday where a 77 year old and a 75 year old can still feel adventures are not entirely the prerogative of the young!

Kenya and Tanzania -safari and beach holiday. Lewa Wilderness and Saruni Mara were spectacular safari camps. Very private and personalized service. True adventure in comfort. The Palms in Zanzibar is private and luxurious for a quiet and high end beach holiday.

Michele Seamark put together a package and itinerary that exactly met my request and expectations. Every detail from airport transfers, to the 6 internal flights, pick-ups and drop offs, hotels, safari camps and the beach resort was perfect.

Truely amazing holiday from start to finish, it was a shame to leave such a beautiful country. Lots of game, the highlight was seeing a wild black rhino in the Mara North Conservancy.

Very professional and provided what I asked for and more. I would definatley recommend Michele @ Safari Consultants as her suggestion to go to Offbeat Mara was spot on!

We visited 3 safari camps: Kalahari Plains, Jacana, Vumbura Plains. All were part of the 'wilderness safari' group. All the camps were excellent and the schedule that Safari Consultants put together was perfect for us - a perfect mix of camps and safari experiences

Listened to our requests very carefully before recommending the itinerary

I have just spent two weeks at Kicheche Mara Camp organised by Safari Consultants and Bob Brind-Surch from Natures Photos. We had a wonderful time and the organisation and commitment from both Safari Consultants and Natures Photos was exceptional.

Both Safari Consultants and Natures Photos are always helpful and the information provided by both of them is excellent and comprehensive. Will be travelling with them both again.

An amazing experience in every respect - the wildlife, the lodges, the guides and the countryside exceeded our expectations. Trekking to the mountain gorillas and spending time watching them was an experience never to be forgotten. The drive through Rwanda up to the Volcanoes Park took us through some stunning scenery and the views from our lodge in Virunga were breathtaking. Our two safaris in Kenya were both different and we were lucky enough to see both types of Rhino, Grevy Zebras and Gerenuk so we have now seen some of the less common animals alongside all the normal ones in great abundance. Our accommodation in Lewa and Saruni were excellent and we had several large animals wandering around in front of our verandas. The staff in all three sites were brilliant and all of our guides went out of their way to ensure we saw their countries and the wildlife as completely as possible in the time we were with them. Well done.

This is the second time we have travelled with Safari Consultants and we have no hesitation in giving them the highest possible recommendation. After our initial meeting with Michelle to explore the possibilities and discuss our requirements she came up with a number of suggestions and we have to say that her recommendations were spot on, both in terms of the accommodation and the wildlife experiences. Safari Consultants provided us with the holiday of a lifetime which we will never forget. Thank you.

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.
