Exceptional
Our travel planner, Natasha, listened to our needs made suggestions and was impressively available whenever we asked for her time. Each of the lodges were unique and the trip went very smoothly. So many memorable highlights. The museum in Rwanda, the gorilla trekking, the sunrise and singing wake-up in Virunga lodge, the hot air balloon ride. All the lodges were amazing and the service and food exceeded our expectations. I wish we had spent 2 days in Ngorongoro Crater but we had time restrictions. We so appreciated Natasha's keeping in touch throughout our trip.

Exceptional service & an unforgettable experience!
Our trip to Tanzania was perfectly curated by Wendy and her team at Ker & Downey, with top notch service and exceptional care on this unforgettable journey. Not only were the accommodations magical and bespoke, but our tour guides at every location gave us amazing glimpses into the terrain and animal activities during the safari. We can’t say enough good things about the animals we saw at arms length, but more than that, when one of our party had a serious health issue that required medical attention throughout the entire 8 day journey, Wendy was there to amend our schedules, ensure that medical attention was given and helped arranged a Medevac air flight for our friend. She went through tremendous inconvenience ( this was during the Chinese New Year holiday when she should have spent it with family undisturbed) to give us attention even at odd hours of the night. For this, we are extremely grateful and in awe of how she went above and beyond to keep us safe. We really have to say that a tour operator that keeps you safe in Africa and is accessible and available when unforeseen things happen, is truly the kind of company you want to write a glowing review for. And if we could give Wendy 10 stars instead of 5, we would! Thank you Wendy and team!

Thoughtful & well organised
Our tour for 8 individuals were organised by Caroline & Brondwyn, whom truly went above & beyond to accommodate our large group. All arrangements were done and changed to accommodate our every whim. Always curtious, friendly and helpful.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience. Forever grateful.
Thank you.

Excellent - Great communication and planned to perfection - Masai Mara and Lewa Conservancy
Sarah and the rest of the Ker & Downey team planned an exceptional Safari experience for us that went off without a hitch and was worth every penny. Throughout, the team was very attentive and communicative. Both the Lewa Conservancy and Masai Mara were stunning and the game drives were outstanding. The accommodations were stellar and the guides/staff could not have been more welcoming and attentive. Would highly recommend

Ker & Downey Africa is the best!
Ker & Downey Africa not only helped our group of 22 plan an amazing trip, they were there with us every step of the way. Our regional air travel, including flights in the Bush, was flawless - as were all of the transfers at each location. We stayed in 4 and 5 Star accommodations and ate like kings and queens. Our trip included two luxurious safari camps, time in Victoria Falls and 5 days in South Africa in the beautiful wine region. Sarah Morris (CEO) and her team are awesome!

Amazing Trip to Capetown and Botswana
My sister and I had Ker&Downey plan our trip to Africa. Sarah Morris and Brondwyn Nel helped curate a very customized and special trip for our combined family of 10. All the lodgings they chose for us were unique and we felt spoiled by the staff from the food to the animal sightings. It was our first time to Arica and we loved our itinerary. We went to Capetown up to Victoria Falls and moved around to a few different camps in Botswana. Sarah and Brondwyn were very patient with all our questions and everything was seamless from our greeting in Capetown to our goodbyes in Johannesburg. Thank you so much for an incredible trip!
