Exceeds expectations!
The entire South Africa vacation exceeded all my expectations. Etienne and Dalia are amazingly knowledgeable, understanding and professional. The tour was created for me with help and suggestions from them both and they were spot on! They handled all flights, excursions and lodging arrangements. Not to mention passport and visa requirements.
The lodging is fantastic! Nkhoro in Sabi Sands and Jackalberry in Chobe are impressive. The rooms, staff and food are great and I will return to both on my next Africa adventure. . The safaris in both locations are incredible.
I highly recommend Wayfarer and have already planned my European vacation with them!
Well-planned itinerary and caring guides
We visited several parks and the guides communicated the schedule clearly. Transfers and lodging were comfortable, and our guide adapted the drives so we saw plenty of wildlife. The team was responsive before and during the trip.

Delivers custom solutions which always exceed expectations!
Working with Ettienne to develop my itinerary was amazing. He listened and every step of my journey in Namibia was outstanding. Lodges were exceptional and travel plans worked to perfection. Many thanks also to Dalia, who made sure I had everything I needed, so I could only focus on enjoying the experience of a lifetime. I wanted to focus on Northern Namibia (Serra Cafema, Hoanib Skeleton Coast and Desert Rhino Camp) and Wayfairer's suggestions were perfect. I will definitely go back and visit some places again. The suggestion of a stay in Okonjima African Villa was a highlight of the trip. Great Leopard sightings and an amazing lodge!
Many thanks to the entire team.

An organization that prioritizes customer service.
The trip planned by Wayfarer Travel was more than as advertised. I was traveling by myself but except in secure areas, like passport control at airports, I was never left alone. I always felt safe even when glitches out of the control of the tour operator, occurred.

Trip of a lifetime!
I've wanted to see Namibia ever since a friend of mine told be about Etosha. I asked Wayfairer to put together an itinerary that took me to all the "must see" parts of the country and they delivered. It far exceeded my expectations in terms of the variety of landscapes, the diversity of wildlife and the quality of the lodgings. Everything was top notch and executed to perfection. The lodgings were fantastic, all with great amenities and great food. And the guides provided for game drives were all top rate. I will was beyond satisfied and have already started working with Wayfairer on my next safari.

Amazing Operator Delivering Amazing Experiences!!
I wanted to pass on feedback from our first tour with Wayfairer Travel thus far.
First off, they did an amazing job as a team to make everything seamless. We had the multiple transfers (7 via car and three flights). All were well coordinated and timely, with comfortable vehicles and really nice drivers. Ilios and African Safari adventures were great. All flights with Airlink were on-time and very comfortable. Far superior to flying coach in the U.S. Hats off to Chanel for getting our seats changed on the balance of flights.
Honeyguide Montobeni was an eye opener and amazing. We call it "Glamping" in the states, and we enjoyed it so much. Chilly mornings and nights with beautiful days. The staff was great, the food wonderful and plentiful and the drives were amazing. Our guide Jordon was really good-wonderful spirit with incredible experience and so kind.
Elephant Plains is a very pleasant place to stay, but we had some hiccups initially, which they promptly addressed. Our Tour Guide (Nick) was not as great as Jordan, which we thought was a function of being a bit immature.
That said, we really enjoyed our stay.
Our trip to Victoria Falls was amazing and well-coordinated. We stayed at Batonka Guest Lodge, which was beautiful, very well run and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed a lovely dinner cruise and met some fun friends. It was a great way to experience VF.
Overall, we so appreciated everything the Wayfairer team did to make this a flawless journey. This was a bucket list trip, so much so that we're trying to talk our son (married next year) to book the same as their honeymoon. It will certainly be with Wayfairer.

Amazing Experience
We can highly recommend Wayfairer Travel. Starting with the first video call with Ettienne in South Africa regarding our planned Safari, Ettienne quickly understood our needs and wishes and put together an amazing itinerary in two different areas of the greater Kruger region, so that we were able to experience varied landscapes and wildlife populations. Ettienne and our support person from the local concierge team, Dalia, were always available and responsive to answer questions and support us before and during our trip. Both lodges - and especially Little Garonga in the Makalali Reserve - were fantastic, and all the transfers went very smoothly. It was a fantastic, once in a lifetime experience and we felt very well cared for throughout the trip.

They obsess the details
The advisor listened to our details needs. He helped refined our plans and ensure we had the best experience we could. All this tailored to our needs. There were never any judgments about what we wanted or should do and he guided us. We thought about doing the whole organisation by ourself. It would have been impossible and costly.
The Concierge was also exceptional, ensuring we did not have to think about anything, and yet had all our bases covered

I highly recommend Wayfairer. If you want to go on an African safari and have a flawless experience, choose them. They were attentive, flexible, knowledgeable, and made our family vacation memorable.
