Extremely knowledgeable, responsive and efficient.
5/5

In researching which travel advisor to use for our summer (and first time) safari trip to S. Africa, I interviewed several providers. The things that set Wayfairer travel and its agents above the others were their personalized attention to detail (as opposed to only offering pre-packaged items without much customization) and how responsive and helpful with suggestions and changes they were. All of our logistics were handled by highly professional operators when we were in S. Africa as well. We would not hesitate to use and recommend Wayfairer travel again.

Absolutely wonderful
5/5

Colin from Wayfairer could NOT have put together a better experience for us. This was a special trip for my boyfriend’s 40th birthday, and Colin ensured he knew exactly the type of holiday we’d like before suggesting a couple of itineraries. We were so excited just reading the itinerary, but the trip itself surpassed and exceeded any expectation we had. It’s hard to put into words the true luxury, amazing service and incredible wildlife we experienced! Suffice it to say I cried when we left and we are already hoping to go back in 2028!!! Aggie was also great as our concierge, and it was so wonderful not having to think at all about how to get from place to place as everything was so seamless! Thank you both so much and if you’re hesitating to book through Wayfairer - don’t!

Wayfairer left us stranded in Botswana
1/5

Wayfairer left us stranded in Botswana. Do not use this company or whatever it rebrands as! If I could leave a zero star rating I would!

My parents and I were in the middle of our 12 night safari to Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia. While out in the bush, Kwando Safari (they are amazing!) informed us that Wayfairer failed to pay any bills associated with our itinerary for Zimbabwe and Zambia September 2-5, 2026. I called our travel agent to confirm & she confirmed this information. She also informed us she was laid off August 31 & there was nothing she could do to help us rectify the situation because Wayfairer went insolvent. We were under the impression that completing payment of all installments on May 30, 2026 meant our trip was fully booked. To say we were blindsided by this company's mismanagement of our funds & violation of our trust is an understatement. We are currently trying to complete our vacation out of pocket with no word from Wayfairer or offer of refund or compensation.
