“We were looking for a one off family safari and beach holiday as a big celebration and never having booked anything like this before we were heavily reliant on Wayfairer to guide us. On contacting them at the beginning we outlined what we thought we were after, but then over a number of days and a number of conversations with our concierges, we ended up changing our minds over a number of thing we wanted. For example, what we were actually after in terms of safari versus beach; how long we wanted to go for; our travel arrangements, etc. Our two contacts, Leonie and Carmen were superb, never once losing patience with our frequent questions and providing a seemingly endless knowledge of what to do. It was obvious that they had travelled the area and knew what was required giving us reassurance about everything from travelling and transfers to vaccinations. We even received a letter from Leonie whilst we were actually on Safari, asking how we were doing and giving us confidence that they were they if we needed them. She asked us to post some pictures on the Twitter page, but to be honest I was too busy loving the holiday to spend time on uploading! As for the holiday itself, we booked the travel separately, but Wayfairer booked our transfers from the airport and the internal flights. The service for this was superb and the flights themselves were just as much a part of the holiday as everything else. We transferred from the Airbus A380 into a little 12 seat Cesna, in which we truly started the safari. The safari camp was nothing short of excellent, with fantastic service, luxury tents and food and a brilliant setting, with crocodile, hippo and blue monkeys keeping us company across the river. Whilst all of the staff were brilliant I have to mention Said, our guide, who absolutely made the safari the success it was, his knowledge and patience were second to none. He went out of his way to ensure we got the best experience we could and the walking safari he did was outstanding. Selous is a fantastic game reserve and you really felt that you were on your own with the wildlife. It was unusual to see another vehicle during the drives which meant that it really felt private and personal to us when we saw the animals (watching a family of elephants having a mud bath and scratching was magical!). Moving on from Selous was difficult, but going to Breezes beach resort in Zanzibar for a relaxing beach holiday for the next five days was a superb way to complete the second part of the holiday. Again, the service was brilliant, the food outstanding and the location lovely. There was plenty to do, with numerous water sports available at the resort, but also excursions outside, including the turtle and tortoise centre in the middle of the island. Wayfairer managed to put together a superb family holiday, that we will remember for a very long time, at incredible value, but without scrimping on personal touches or service. Will I use Wayfairer Travel again - Yes absolutely. Thank you for an outstanding holiday!”

“My son and I enjoyed a fantastic Kenyan safari tailor made for us by Victoria at Wayfairer. It was perfect and we had a fantastic week. Things like having an escort meet us as we got off the plane in Nairobi and take us through customs, collect our bags and find our driver meant so much as we were arriving later at night and there were only the two of us (mum and teenage son) so I felt a bit vulnerable. We would definitely use them again and highly recommend.”

“Wayfairer Travel were knowledgeable and friendly, listening to the experience we wanted and providing a number of options to discuss before booking everything to make our travel as easy as possible. My daughter and I had an amazing safari in Selous and an equally amazing time in our treehouse stay on Chole Island - this was a holiday we will never forget.”

“I wanted to take my aging father on a safari in Kenya, but the task of organizing the trip seemed daunting. I wanted to make sure he was comfortable and that we chose the right tour to go on. Wayfairer stuck with me every step of the way, patiently asked all my questions and worked with me through several last minute changes. I recommend them highly.”

“We used Wayfairer Travel for our longtime planned three week luxury holiday in Cambodia & Vietnam. Our expectations were met and exceeded! They took care of all the small, yet daunting details and created an experience where we were able to sit back and relax throughout our trip. Our trip planner went back and forth with us several times to be sure the itinerary met every expectation. At the end, we were left with wonderful memories thanks to the local guides we had at the touristic sites. Nothing was rushed, all was at our own pace and we were provided with vast knowledge of each country's history and daily struggles, too. Absolutely wonderful holiday.”

“From my first Idea of this holiday Thea listened and helped plan our whole trip. She spent time changing the agenda to fit both our budget and all our many requests. Thea also made suggestions to add to our plans some of which we had not considered but were excellent. The company has excellent ethical views which were especially clear when we visited an elephant sanctuary. There were many “sanctuary’s” but Thea directed us to a real sanctuary that genuinely cared for the animals they rescued. There were so many highlights it would be impossible to list but the guides were exceptional, the hotels were unique and a good quality and Wayfairer were in regular contact to check all was well. I can’t recommend them highly enough, so get in touch and let your adventure begin.”

“We just got back to Oregon after an amazing time in Kenya.The Wayfairer travel agency has to be one of the best safari agencies in Africa. Every detail was checked out by Tom's staff.All the transfers were perfect from the minute we got to NBO airport.The Nairobi crew were extremely cordial. The Saruni and Mara Lodges that were set up by Tom were outstanding and I will always remember the wonderful people we met there.I highly recommend this company We are already planning on returning to another part of Africa and will for sure, call on hte Wayfairer again.”

We will definitely use them again and would recommend them them to anyone travelling to Africa.”

“Wayfairer Travel put together a high quality, exciting custom trip for us to include 2 different safari lodges in private game reserves bordering the Kruger and a beach holiday in Mozambique. The holiday took full account of our expressed preferences and offered significantly better value than quotes that we received from some other larger and better known travel companies for similar holidays. In the event the whole holiday was superb. The accommodations and safari game viewing were first class as were the service standards experienced throughout. All of the transfers organized by Wayfairer went very smoothly and without any hitches. The Concierge service element that had been recently introduced by Wayfairer enabled queries to be dealt with quickly before departure and during the trip itself.”

“We had a great family holiday in Tanzania and really enjoyed the three different places we visited. Tom listened to what we like to do as a family and pulled together a great trip. We enjoyed it all, the safari in the Selous, Chole Mjini and our visit to Zanzibar. My personal highlight was diving in the Mjini Marine Reserve though and getting to know the beautiful area around Chole.”

“Superbly arranged holiday by Wayfairer Travel. Your knowledge and experience of Tanzania meant that you picked superb and very different locations for us, all of which complimented each other but gave vastly different experiences. By booking through you it meant we never had to think about any travel arrangements outside getting to our local airport!! Would recommend anyone booking this type of holiday to book through you”

“I was referred by the Responsible Travel Company to several travel agents, but Wayfairer were the only one who really listened to what I wanted, went away and come back quickly with a fantastic itinerary. I outlined my budget, where I wanted to spend more/less, how long I had, what I liked and what I was thinking of, and Thea put together a perfect trip to Tanzania for safari and then onto Zanzibar for the beach. All the flights, pick up from the airport, numerous local transfers and a couple of day trips were included for me, so I really didn't have to do anything! It was all presented to me in a beautiful little booklet with all the detail. These days, when you can lose weeks trawling the internet, it is well worth having someone who knows the areas and the hotels, has contacts in the region and can do it all for you, much better than you ever could do yourself. Thea kept in contact throughout including whilst we were away, and we knew we had backup if there were any problems. She didn't make me feel silly about asking lots of questions. She even organised a few surprises for my birthday when my friends contacted her and asked her to help. The service from Wayfairer was superb throughout and I'd definitely recommend them to anyone.”
