“We booked our honeymoon to Tanzania with Wayfairer. Tom gave us excellent suggestions for accommodation and itinerary and organised it all, including transfers. It all went very smoothly and the trip was fabulous. We stayed at Lake Manze in the Selous game reserve, an open safari camp with very knowledgeable and helpful guides and managers, followed by all-inclusive at the Sea Cliff Resort in Zanzibar. The Sea Cliff was wonderfully relaxing and welcoming. Thanks to Tom for an incredible honeymoon experience. We would definitely use Wayfairer again and have already recommended to friends.”

“Exception trip over 2 weeks across Northern India from Pakistan border to Myanmar Border. Organisation was exceptional from first meet and greet , all drives and guides were top class, hotels etc. A tough job for Wayfairer to organise this trip, but all undertaken and delivered with top class professionalism. I would highly recommend.”

Thank you for your excellent review Julian. It was a real pleasure working on this itinerary with you on your second trip to India with us. A really remote, interesting and unusual itinerary which I really enjoyed working on. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it so much. Tom

“I really enjoyed our family tour to Thailand and all the hard working by the staff ( Thanks Harry ! Thanks everybody!) who put up together such a beautiful itinerary . I very much enjoyed our guide Nui and her placid , easy personality trying to explain her country in a funny , enjoyable way . I found her accesible, caring and sweet ( and with a nice sense of humor) . I particularly enjoyed the Cooking Class ( great team - husband&wife - and great food) . I will never forget the Tree House hotel in Chaing Mai ( fantastic in every possible way ) hotel in Chiang Mai.”

Thank you for this wonderful review Susanna. You're most welcome of course and I am so pleased that you'd your family loved Thailand every bit as much as I do. Harry

“Tom organized a fantastic safari experience for us with Saruni Wild lodge in Masai Mara region. The Saruni lodges were spectacular! The Saruni Wild he recommended was beyond all our expectations in comfort, location, service. The people there were constantly friendly and fantastic hosts. We could not believe we had the whole place to ourselves! There are two more tents, but ours, the family tent, was the only one occupied, so we had the place to ourselves. The manager, Cecilia, hosted us for dinner the first night, answered all our questions, shared her stories. She is an amazing woman! The second night was not at Saruni Wild, though, because it rained so much they had to evacuate us for security to the other location, Saruni Mara, where they put us up in the family bungalow. Even though it was also fantastic and comfortable, with electricity and wifi, we missed the rugged exposure of the Wild camp. We are glad we got to see both, and we would definitely recommend Wild over Mara for future travelers, if they are OK not having electricity and wifi… it is just as comfortable, and the location is absolutely extraordinary, with wildlife grazing just outside your tent in the morning, with a shorter drive to get to places to watch more wildlife, and with spectacular sunsets sitting by the fire in the evening.”

“An amazing experience.. We managed to see quite a lot considering we were only there for 2 weeks and wanted to laze on the beach for most of the holiday. Thea, our agent, was a star who put together a fantastic mix of historical sites, amazing jungle adventures plus the all important relaxing on the beach and soaking up the sun! We really felt very well taken care of throughout the whole trip, and we had to travel a fair bit!”

Thank you for this excellent review Catherine. It was a pleasure to help make this plan come together and I'm delighted that you had such a wonderful time on holiday in Tanzania. Tom

“Our trip to Vietnam in January 2018 went very well and we came home with many happy memories. The diversity in the choice of hotels was perfect, from the Essence Palace in the heart of Beer Street to the tranquility of the Aqua bungalow at Verdana. The staff, drivers and guides were wonderful and really looked after us, all going the extra mile to make our stay in their country special. One thing we did notice about the majority of the hotels was they were not honouring their "save the environment" policy and insisted on replacing towels on a daily basis. We loved the itinerary and staying the extra nights really allowed us to soak up the atmosphere, although we did feel we spent unnecessary time at airports with all the internal flights. On reflection we would probably have suggested a train journey from Hanoi to Hue to cut down on flights. Once again thanks very much Harry for putting our holiday together and making the trip a fabulous one.”

“My wife and I have recently returned from a three and a half week tour of Cambodia and Vietnam arranged by Wayfairer. The variety of experience was wonderful, the hotels were excellent, the guides and drivers varied from very good to outstanding and the arrangements went like clockwork. A really memorable time which we both thought represented great value for money. Derek Miller”

“After getting married in May 2017 we decided that we wanted to do something a little different for our honeymoon. We decided that we wanted to go on safari but also, if possible, have some time to relax as well. Since this was something a little out of the ordinary as it involves booking light aircraft etc we decided that we would utilise the expertise of a tour operator to book our Honeymoon. After discussing options with various we decided to go with Wayfairer Travel. Tom was extremely helpful in giving us advice and ideas for what would work best for our date requirements and budgets. We ended up staying for 3 nights on Safari at the Mivumo River Lodge in Selous followed by 4 nights at The Residence Zanzibar on Zanzibar island. I would recommend their service to anyone wanted to book a safari. We are very much grateful for all of Tom’s help to make our honeymoon something that will shall never forget.”

“Good personal service initially. The recommendations for the two Safari Lodges were spot-on. We were also pleased with Lux le Morne with one or two reservations. The organisation of all our transfers was excellent and we were happy with the standard of vehicle and the drivers at all times. Overall, the holiday was really enjoyable !”

“My family and I have just returned from our 2 week trip to Thailand. We contacted a number of different agents, but Harry was the one who understood our needs and created an itinerary that worked well for all of us. We sent our ideas and preferences to Harry and the trip ticked all the boxes. We managed to visit many beautiful parts of this fascinating country and got some insight into Thai culture. Harry was very responsive throughout, flexible with any changes we wanted to make and made sure everything was running smoothly during our stay. I would recommend Wayfairer Travel without hesitation. Keep up the good work.”

“Three 60 year old siblings we were on an African adventure and our first holiday together for 42 years . We wanted to have fun, be looked enjoy fantastic wildlife and above all not worry about anything. What made all the difference was the attention to detail and the quality of all the personnel who took care of us from the personal guides at the airports, the exceptional drivers, safari guides and pilots who transferred us between lodges. We did not worry about a thing and had a trip of a lifetime. We would recommend Wayfairer travel for organising a superb holiday.”

“We couldn't be more happy with our experience with Tom at Wayfairer Travel! We knew we wanted our honeymoon to include a safari and emailed many travel companies to get a quote; Tom was the only one (out of many!) to take the time to ask us exactly what we wanted and what aspects were important to us. He was also very respectful of our budget and gave us some fantastic recommendations on how to organize our trip to get the most bang for our buck. The two places he picked for us (Basecamp Explorer and Waterlovers Beach Resort) were phenomenal; the service and experiences at both places were top notch. The entire process of organizing our trip and booking was seamless and easy, even with the time difference!”

“I was pleased for several reasons. Tom was prompt in responding to my email inquiries. The trip he planned out was an exciting and wonderful adventure. The Masai people at the camp/tent were extremely polite, tolerate and very accommodating. The food was outstanding, the view was memorable and the tents were so cool, especially the showers. Our guide was adorable and the coordinator was very intelligent and knowledgeable. Saruni Wild was an ideal experience for me....it put me close to the natural world and yet it had the comforts of a modern life-style.”
