We've just returned from an incredible trip to Namibia and are seriously considering a return trip using Wayfairer again. The enjoyable chats we had beforehand ensured that when we got to Namibia everything lived up or exceeded expectations. The changes to my original itinerary were justified and sensible and the whole trip went seamlessly. All the internal arrangements worked perfectly, the vehicle hire, lodges and trips were as planned and we loved Namibia. I feel that we got the holiday that we'd hoped for for a very competitive price and with the security of feeling that if anything did go wrong we had good back up both in the UK and Namibia. Many thanks Wayfairer

Dear Judith, Thank you for such a detailed and positive review. We are so glad your time in Namibia lived up to or even exceeded your expectations, that's excellent news. We very much look forward to helping you plan your next trip! The Wayfairer Team
Fantastic trip to S Africa, and Wayfairer Travel delivered on all levels. Our stays at Thornybush, &Beyond Phinda Vlei and Forest lodges were spectacular. Strongly recommend these lodges and Wayfairer's travel organization and arrangements to all who want experiences with fantastic people at unbelievably beautiful areas with fantastic guides and trackers for unparalleled game experiences. All of the support staff at these lodges were friendly and personable further accentuating the experiences and fun encountered. Huge thanks to Wayfairer -- for persevering thru the pandemic and delivering a 2-yr delayed stellar experience. Thanks so much!!

We had an amazing time on our first safari in Kenya - a life affirming experience to celebrate a landmark birthday and my husband and I will have these memories forever. Tom and the team crafted a brilliant schedule for us and all the places and people that we met alongside the wildlife and nature of course were just Excellent. After the active pace of the safaris (Samburu and Masai Mara) we spent 5 nights relaxing in Zanzibar on the beach (although we did a lot of local tours here as well!). A massive Thanks to the Wayfairer team for a magical time. Highly recommended.

Dear Alison, Thank you for this lovely review of your first trip to Kenya and recommending us to others. What a way to celebrate a birthday! The Wayfairer Team
A vacation tailored to our needs. Small, private group photography safari to Tanzania. Explored the little-known Mkomazi national park, visiting the pioneering wild dogs and black rhino sanctuaries. Great experiences of the wildebeest crossings plus great cat sightings. Wayfairer provided a great value service, responding to our specific requirements and liaising seamlessly with our chosen expert guides.

Dear Lynn, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. Your safari sounds rare, beautiful, exciting and like you will have made a real impact on the conservation of the areas you visited. We are so glad you chose to travel with us and we look forward to helping you plan another vacation. The Wayfairer Team
We had an amazing time. Highlights were the Riverlodge, Gaya island and anything in the rainforest. We were also lucky enough to see plenty of animals and found a Pangolin by our Villa in Gaya Island. Kota Kinabalu was also nice but the food tour wasn't for us. Travel was also fine for the most part apart from the flight home which was delayed by 3 hours and hit a storm and a lot or turbulance. Once in a lifetime holiday and very grateful we had the chance to do it.

We've had the trip of a lifetime! From putting the trip for our honeymoon together through to the amazing concierge service while we were away, this has been not only a dream honeymoon but a dream experience. The places we stayed in Ruaha for safari and Butaiam Beach Lodge in Mafia Island, Tanzania, were exactly to our taste, nature rich, remote and eco friendly while supporting the local community. September was a fantastic time to visit, as not many people around and you pretty much get these locations to yourself in regards to tourists. The staff everywhere were so smiley, warm and helpful, and how can we forget the amazing team at Butiama Beach Lodge who did so much to make us feel special as newlyweds, including a private dinner near the beach! We can't thank the team enough, it was only 10 days but felt like we were there for months! We did so much, and highly recommend booking through Wayfairer Travel, especially for your honeymoon. Huge thank you to Josh and June, we'll definitely be booking through you again :-)

Dear Yasmin, Your review is so heart-warming, thank you. Your honeymoon sounds incredible, and we are pleased it felt like you were on holiday for months, rather than 10 days. A private dinner on the beach at Butiama makes it extra special. We're delighted to hear you had a really positive experience working with Josh and June and we very much look forward to helping you plan your next big trip! The Wayfairer Team
If we could give this company more than 5 stars we would! From the first enquiry to the trip itself this company were faultless. They organised a superb safari and Mauritius holiday with all our wishes catered for. And when BA threw a curve ball in they sorted the issue with minimal disruption. Our main point of contact was Maggie and Toon, but we would like to thank the whole team for an amazing holiday. Andy and Sarah.

Dear Andrew, Wow, thank you for giving us (if you could!!) more than 5 stars, what a glowing review. We are so pleased that Maggie and Toon helped your holiday come to life so well. I have passed on your thanks to the wider Wayfairer team too. We would be very happy to plan another trip with you in the future. The Wayfairer Team
The holiday was amazing!! Kenya was beautiful and the lodges were stunning, we had a little rain whilst at Leopard Hill which meant we couldn’t open the skylight to gaze at the stars but it was still absolutely wonderful. The staff were great and so very welcoming and we even got in a trip to the Masai Village which was amazing! The hot air balloon was stunning and such a great way to view the Mara, we recommended it to everyone we met along to way and the breakfast afterwards in the bush was incredible! Our driver Dennis went above and beyond for us and arranged a bush breakfast and we got to see some wilderbeast crossing the Mara River!! A big bucket list item ticked off! Uganda was another level altogether! I have never come across more friendly and welcoming people than in Uganda, I’m literally desperate to go back!! Every lodge we went to was even nicer than the last, they truly were breathtaking! Guinea fowl lodge was awesome! Chameleon Lodge, we geneuinely felt like family with the managers Spencer and Agnes and our driver Rogers! We have since emailed chameleon lodge with the hope to being able to send some clothes and supplies over for the families in the nearby villages. The golden monkey trekking was a lovely experience and we made sure to get porters for all treks, our porters for gorilla trekking were invaluable. Wonderful, helpful people that we feel Privileged to have met. Viewing the gorillas was an absolute once in a lifetime experience and we still can’t believe we had this opportunity, it will stay with us for many years to come! We especially enjoyed how the drivers in Uganda joined us for our meals, such a nice touch! The food was also amazing, although there was an awful lot of it haha!! Jinja was stunning and they upgraded us to the honeymoon suite!! What a treat! White water rafting was unfortunately a little more than I had bargained for and a dunking in the Nile did overwhelm me a little, I have to say though that Juma and his team were fantastic, we couldn’t have been with a more experienced and lovely team and even though maybe white water rafting isn’t for me I would highly recommend them to anyone! All in all it really was the trip of a lifetime and we can’t thank you enough, the only issue we have now is that we can’t find any other holidays that even come close to this one haha!!

Dear Colin & Rebecca, Thank you so much for such a lovely review. Hearing about your incredible safari, golden monkey and gorilla tracking, white water rafting on the Nile and local experiences is what it is all about!! We are so pleased to hear that it went well, even if you did get a dunking whilst rafting :) We hope to be part of planning your next trip - there are many incredible corners of the globe, we'd love to help you feel this way again one day.

Excellent company, for us, it's very important to be responsible tourists and Wayfairer was able to provide us with an amazing holiday and safari with responsible travel in mind. Everything was taken care of from the itinerary to regular check-ins to see if everything was going to plan. Even when flights were delayed due to international airlines they were able to find solutions so our safari was not affected. 100% will be using Wayfairer again, as they provide a very cultural, adventure and relaxing stress-free holiday. which was exactly what we wanted. we could not be more satisfied with the service and planning :) thanks again Leonie and June for making our holiday perfect and memories that will last a lifetime

We were thrilled to have Wayfairer curate our honeymoon from both a practical perspective ( logistics!) and expertise ( thoughtful and considered recommendations). The team were responsive, sensitive to our preferences and style and consistently engaged. With special thanks to Maggie and June.

We recently traveled to Kenya and Zanzibar with Wayfairer and the organisation was amazing, the trip went so smoothly even though we were in some fairly remote places the transfers always arrived on time and everything was taken care of.

We booked a holiday to Rwanda and Uganda through Wayfairer way back in 2020. It was then delayed for a while because of the Covid pandemic. However, communication throughout this time, with the Wayfairer team, was excellent. From start to finish, our trip to east Africa was organised efficiently. We got great advice from Leonie on our trip right from the beginning and our "concierges" were good communicators and helpful. I'd recommend booking through Wayfairer and certainly recommend a holiday to Uganda and a visit to the gorillas!

We had an amazing 3-week holiday in Botswana and Zimbabwe. A fantastic safari experience from start to end. A Trip To Remember!! Communication, booking, .... with Wayfairer Travel were quick and easy. The camps and lodges proposed were amazing! Fab staff; comfy accommodation; yummy food; ... In addition to having a wonderful time at each camp/lodge, with highly enjoyable game drives and other activities, all transfers and country-border crossing worked out fantastically well, like clockwork. The coordination between camps, even from different companies, was admirable.

I typically plan my travels but being a novice to the continent of Africa and travelling with children were the two reasons for arranging this trip with a travel agency. We came into contact with Wayfairer and Josh was very helpful in answering our questions and was soon after able to give us a personalised travel itinerary. Throughout the journey, everything was organised for us. The trip went very smooth. We did not need to worry about where to go. Every time we arrived at a new destination there was a private guide waiting for us who would stay with us for the length of time taking us on two safaris a day. The guides were very knowledgeable and because English is widely spoken we learned so much about the animals, the plants and the trees but also the people and the politics. The lodges varied in terms of luxury. The first Chobe lodge in Kasane was a wonderful lodge on the Chobe river. The food was especially very good. The river safaris were incredible with such an abundance of birds, hippos, elephants and crocodiles. We also had a great day at Victoria Falls. The second lodge Khwai guest house was a budget lodge. There was a lot of coming and going of self-drivers and the villagers including their dogs were a bit noisy, but the guide was lovely he took us to the khwai concession, the Moremi park and a village walk and we had been very lucky to see 2 cheetahs, 1 leopard, many lions and a long list of other animals! The third Lodge, oddballs is a very special place not just because it has a beautiful view of the river but because it feels very wild! Elephants and hyenas were roaming around the camp at night! We saw 3 Pels fishing owls at night. This eco-friendly place is for peace lovers like myself as there are no loud engines used the only means of transport are walking and mokoro. The last and most luxurious Lodge was in a private concession called the Deception Valley Lodge. We had the whole lodge to ourselves. A massive beautiful chalet with a private swimming pool was allocated to us. Recently they have finalised a 2-year complete refurbishment to a very high standard. Very tastefully decorated with warm mahogany wood flooring and furniture. So many antelopes and other animals were coming to the waterhole in front of the lodge. At night we could hear the lions roar next to the chalet. The highlight was the group of wild dogs. 3 females and 3 males. The guide called Knowledge who honoured his name took us to meet the local bushmen and demonstrations of how the hunter-gatherers lived until very recently was another great teaching moment.

We just had one of the most fantastic trips to Vietnam with Wayfairer. From day one the service was incredible with an itinerary created to suit our interests. Everything planned was well thought out giving us the opportunity to truly experience the country, it’s culture and it’s people (not just tick boxes). Every tour, accommodation, and experience was spectacular clearly picking out some of the best and most sustainable options available. The ground team and guides were also spectacular showing us around the country and sharing their thoughts and insights throughout, they could never do enough for us. Everything was arranged seamlessly so we never had to worry about where to be next or what we needed. Halfway through I tried to add on a surprise extra excursion and the concierge team again were extremely helpful in setting this all up! All of this put together created a truly unforgettable experience.
