Safari Consultants Traveller Reviews

we visited chobe under canvas, selinda camp (great plains), chitabe lediba and duba plains (great plains)....our favorite was chitabe lediba. saw the most animals at chobe, very knowledgeable guide, stanza and great staff at the camp. selinda and duba were good, more upscale accommodations, fancier food, less animals (quantity) but really good guides (donald and stanley). chitabe lediba we loved the accommodations, food, staff and guide (Oats) so overall that was our favorite. we missed our connection in johannesburg to livingstone and had to stay the night in johannesburg and then few directly to kasane the next day to catch up with our itinerary. jane walked did a fantastic job putting together our first safari experience. we booked our own flights to johannesburg and to livingstone and there was NO way we could have made the connection which virgin atlantic should have known so we are taking that issue up with them as we had to purchase new tickets on another airline and pay for accommodations in johannesburg. warning people of the potential long delay in johannesburg due to immigration is very important especially in making the connecting flights. great trip and experience, we hope to be able to do it again in the future.

jane walker was excellent in planning our itinerary. 4 different camps all with a different feel and experience, great variety and exposure for our first safari.

All the connections, meeting and greeting went like clock work. We stayed at Oliver's Camp, Gibbs Farm and Serian Camp followed by a few days in Zanzibar in the Breezes Beach Club. We would recommend all 3 as excellent in all departments. Beware the coast is normally windy and cloudy in July and August, but warm. Gibbs is very cold---fleeces needed. Tsetse fly were not a big deal. We recommend an overnight stay in Stonetown in Zanzibar town

Rob Slater spent a lot of time on the phone to us and we were very pleased with his recommendations. There is no substitute for personal knowledge.

A 'Once in a lifetime' holiday experience that could not have been improved upon. Three nights in Laikipia, Kenya. Three nights on The Mara followed by four nights at Diani Beach. All of an excellent standard of comfort and food, with wonderful staff. We could not have wished for better.

Helpful, knowledgeable and very well organised down to last detail. Kept us fully informed when Nairobi Airport burnt down 36 hours before we were due to fly home!

The 2 safari venues were superb and quite different in the terrain. Firstly in Laikipia , and then in the Mara. The grandchildren loved every minute and the safari guides were marvellous wth them, as were both sets of camp hosts. The food in both of the camps was delicious.The 5 days relaxing in Zanzibar after the busy time on safari was a perfect end to our holiday

The 2 safari venues were perfect and the itinerary that they organized for us was fantastic, and all the advice we were given was first class. The camps were small and very friendly and the hosts were so good with the children as were the guides. We could not fault a thing except for a little more sushine in Zanzibar, where we had rain and lots of cloud - but it was still very warm! Many thanks to them for organizing such a lovely family holiday.

11 nights safari made up of camps and lodges tailor made for our group of ten. Nairobi, Amboseli, The Mara, Lakes and Rift Valley, with chartered flights.

Rob Slater of Safari Consultants worked with us to make an itinerary that perfectly suited us. Every transfer and connection worked like clockwork. The accommodation was perfect and beyond expectations. As was the quality of the guiding.
