Update
I wrote a review of Born Free Safaris in May 2018 titled, "Use another company". I would like to revise that review and update to a 4 star review. I have taken many, many safaris - some with Born Free and some with other companies. Just because one trip with Born Free was not up to their usual excellent standards, I decided to update my review. In addition, I received an email from the {resident of Born Free offering to make it up to me, and I do appreciate that.
Previous trips with Born Free were excellent and I would rate them the best of most of my Africa trips.

Everything fantastic, our tour leader was amazing, we get more than our expectation.
Communication was good, also everything was fantastic, thanks for everything.
Please do not send me any information regarding holidays, if I need your help I will contact you, thank you for your understanding.
Not like our last trip
We previously went on a great East Africans Safari with Born Free. We asked them to help with another trip a year later. This did not go at all well and Born Free did not take appropriate responsibility for the clear errors that occurred, which significantly and negatively affected our trip.
They did not stand behind their travel product and I can no longer recommend Born Free.

Pandemic profiteers
I booked a tour prior to the pandemic and even though I cancelled almost a year in advance (November 2021), I was refused ANY refund of an almost $3,000 deposit even though every though it cost absolutely $0 to cancel any hotel reservation made on my behalf. Immoral and unethical!

Use another company
Africa is fabulous even though Born Free Safaris is not. They charge more than anyone but our vehicle was tattered and had no air conditioning!!! They charge premium prices but use poor vehicles and airlines. They routed me with Kenyan Airlines and every single flight was either cancelled or was very late leaving or arriving. I found out from other travelers that they could have used Emirates Airlines which is a 5 star airline and went to the same places. Born Free uses the cheapest of everything but charges the most. Use another company. I hear Odyssys Unlimited is great!!!
