The best of the best!
Josh began planning our trip about 1 1/2 years ago and Toon was working with me later on. She provided impeccable service and arranged a trip of a lifetime for my family! It fit us like a glove and every single member of my 16 kids and their spouses and grandkids that went with us will have so many lasting memories! It was a trip of a lifetime to Boschendal, and then to Camps Bay, and then to the Madikwe game reserve and staying at the Tuningi Safari Lodge. It was 5 star from start to finish, including the ground transportation and staff at each facility we stayed at.

Outstanding planning and organisation from initial enquiry to final flight home !
My husband and I had planned to go on safari for his 65th birthday but sadly he passed away at age 60 and so I felt tgat was,a,dream I would not fulfil .Approaching 70 I felt now that the time was right .
From initial enquiries to Amelia,at Wayfarer a crafted safari experience was born! I travelled to Botswana and stayed in tge Ikavango Delta initially then Chobe .Both lodges were wonderful but a particular mention to Khwai Lediba ..the setting, the staff ,the excellent accommodation and superb food will never be forgotten .Our guide Max was outstanding ..do patient but above all hugely informative. I travelled on my own and at no time did I feel anxious as everyone I met was superb.
The next lodge was Chobe Bakwena lodge ..situated on banks of Chobe river ..it was a bigger lodge but still very comfortable and our guide there was Ben who did his utmost to make tge next few days exhilarating..I clues g managing a wonderful sighting of a leopard !
I finished my trip with sightseeing at Victoria Falls .
I can truly say from beginning to end the trip was magnificent and I felt very safe and included.
It has revived my confidence in solo travel and now wonder where I will go in 2025 !
What an experience ..tgank you to all in Wayfarer ...excellent company and superb helpful staff .

Great Company - very good service and support
Ellie and Chanelle are fabulous travel agents. They were extremely helpful from our initial inquiries and throughout our trip. They arranged wonderful accommodations in South Africa. All the meet ups and flights went exactly as planned. When I got in touch with Chanelle while on our trip she responded immediately and was very helpful. Thank you both for a wonderful experience. I look forward to planning our next trip.

Amazing Journey Through Southern Africa
We traveled through Southern Africa: South Africa, Victoria Falls (Zambia and Zimbabwe), Okavengo Delta (Botswana), Caprivi Strip (Namibia), and Chobe (Botswana). It was a great adventure and we were very pleased with the planning and logistics put together by Ettiene at Wayfairer. We were able to get great advice on pre trip logistics (e.g. how to deal with visas and empty passport pages). Additionally we had great support during our trip with recommendations on activities and things to expect. We also added a week to our trip to drive the Garden Route, which Ettiene put together for us as well.

Excellent service from start to finish.
My experience with Wayfaire was exactly what I needed. It started with the wonderful Kate Kilmartin who designed 4 country safari for me. As a single female travelling to Africa safely was paramount. I was not let down. There was no place I stayed that I didn’t feel safe. The staff on the ground were friendly and efficient. Every place had luxury accommodation and the food was phenomenal.
The concierge Service provided by Chanelle Cook was equally amazing. Chanelle was in contact regularly to ensure that my trip was meeting my expectations. When my main luggage was lost between Victoria Falls and Kilimanjaro Airport. Chanelle handled everything in a professional manner and found my luggage. She ensured that all protocols were followed and I did not have to worry about getting it back. Chanelle was in contact with me at every stage of my trip.
Here are my personal favourites.
Kwando Safaris (4 Rivers). Kate knew this was a place I would like. Kate I didn’t just like it… I loved it. It was more than Phenomenal Safari sightings that made this place special. It was a privilege to sit down with the staff at the end of the day and share our experiences.
Kirurumu Serengeti North Camp was wonderful. Looking out of my tent and seeing wildebeest grazing right outside was surreal.
A shout out to Duma/Alika Africa for their support, dedication and problem solving to ensuring I had the best single person safari.
This was a bucket list trip that did not disappoint. I would travel with them again and highly recommend Wayfair to other people.

Excellent service by Chanelle and the Wayfairer team
It was our first time in a Safari trip and we were very thoroughly impressed by the service of the Wayfairer and AlikaAfrica team. Everything went as planned and we wished we had more time in the Ikeliani Lodge which was an absolute dream

Flawless Trip. Everything was PERFECT!
My wife and I have always wanted to do a Safari. I typically plan the trips we go on. I wasn't comfortable doing this to Africa. There were so many unknowns to me. We started with three different travel services and settled on Wayfairer. We made the right decision. We were gone for 14 days and didn't have a single problem.
