Expertise that you need
We were one of the very first customers of Untamed Safaris a few years ago (Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa) and felt that safari was so well handled by them that we used them again for this safari (Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda).
Whether it was advice on when to go, how long to stay in certain places, how to think about the migration, etc. Ryan continually provided expert advice both then and again this year.
When things “just work” and “work smoothly”, it’s easy to take it for granted but as customers we don’t always see what is happening behind the scenes to make that happen.
It was that experience the first time that made us return to Untamed Safaris for this safari and we’re glad we did.
If you’re looking for someone to help with your planning, you should definitely contact Untamed Safaris.

Simply Exceptional!
I was incredibly fortunate to have Ryan from Untamed Safaris plan my safari trip of a lifetime. Ryan was simply AMAZING, and I honestly don’t believe the experience would have been as wonderful without him.
He took the time to understand the type of traveller I am and planned everything perfectly, from how long I stayed in each place to how the journey was divided. I saw absolutely everything I had hoped for, including the migration and the most incredible up-close animals.
Ryan went above and beyond to ensure every detail aligned with my other commitments and even considered arrangements outside his own bookings so nothing was overlooked. His knowledge, care, and attention to detail (and such patience with my 101 questions!!) made the entire journey truly extraordinary. I will be forever grateful and will carry these memories with me for a lifetime.

Personal service and advice!
Untamed Safaris were excellent to deal with from first contact. They came highly recommended by a friend who had had a similar experience for their Africa trip booked through Untamed Safaris. Rosanna and Ryan helped organise and book our trip. They were both great at working out what we were most interested in and how to make the most of our relatively short time in South Africa. They had excellent knowledge about flights, connections and a range of suggestions to consider. Their recommendations for day trips around Cape Town (where we were attending a conference) were excellent and they helped organise and book additional people from our conference to join these day trips, setting clear expectations of what they would involve (one was a hike up Table mountain which required a reasonable level of fitness, which was superb). The safari experiences they booked for us with Simbavati Hilltop Lodge and Simbavati Trails Camp were unbelievable. The first was a very luxury experience and the second was in a trail camp setting, but if anything was even more amazing in terms of hospitality and personal service given its remoteness. We highly recommend this company if you are contemplating a trip to Africa.

A first class itinerary and experience, great engagement and no hasstles
We dont normally use Travel Agents but this was our first trip to Africa and we needed some guidance.
Ryan from Untamed Safaris provided an itinerary incorporating Sth Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe with some great insights and very even handed pros and cons on the different accomodation and itinerary options available.
The trip was well paced and comprehensive for the 15 days and the accom was first class. The 2 safaris provided different but equally amazing experiences and our stays in Capetown and Victoria Falls were wonderful. Ryan monitored our progress and was always available if needed but it was all very smooth. We could not have created this itinerary on our own. Thank you Ryan.

Perfect planning, prefect support
The team prepared a custom safari across 3 weeks travelling Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Their service and communication during the planning process was excellent with Ryan happy to answer all my questions and make adjustments so I was happy. The trip itself went off without a hitch due to the detailed attention. Post trip service was second to none with the team following up on things promptly. I cannot recommend Untamed Safaris enough! The trip of a lifetime made all the better because of the teams planning.

Prompt, knowledgeable, organized
We were looking for a company through which we would book our African holiday. Contemplated some Australian and African travel agents but wanted someone who could not just sell us a package but someone who really knew where to go, what to do and how to do it properly. We Googled and up came Untamed Safaris, checked the reviews and there was nothing but very positive comments. We felt comfortable we were dealing with an Australian company and not just an unknown ( to us ) African company.
We contacted Ryan and found him to very knowledgeable, was always prompt with his responses and also had various itineraries to contemplate. We also thought his pricing was very reasonable especially as we requested quality private game park accommodation, safaris and tours. We were not disappointed, he was certainly across our requirements and only had praise for his selections.
We resulted in visiting South Africa, Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Chobe National Park Botswana, all worth visiting.
Another thing we really liked was he organized all transfers, airport to accommodation, vice a vera, pickups for game parks and so on. It took out any stress having to determine if the taxi company we chose was safe and going to get us there.
Overall everything ran like clockwork, no hiccups, no delays including all flights which he booked. We were impressed.
We could only recommend Ryan and his small team, Africa was great and if we go again would book through Untamed Safaris.

Knowledgable, helpful, friendly and always available and happy to assist.
We spent five weeks in Africa, and visited Victoria Falls, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar and South Africa and the whole trip was arranged by Untamed Safaris including all our international and internal airfares. Our tour of Kenya and Tanzania was organised as a private tour and the tour operators were very good, accommodation and food were excellent. Drivers were reliable and we had no problems.
Victoria Falls and Zanzibar were independent tours and all operators were very reliable. A day trip to Botswana was organised from Victoria Falls and was a real highlight of the tour, lots of elephants. Our time spent in Timbavati Game Reserve (South Africa) was a great way to finish a spectacular holiday. Simbavati Hilltop Lodge and Simbavati Trails Camp where both very special.
We would highly recommend Untamed Safaris to anyone wishing to visit Africa. Ryan's service was above and beyond. We are thinking of going back for a fourth time and will definitely be doing our bookings with Untamed Safaris.

Very responsive, extremely helpful - Ryan from Untamed Safaris was excellent.
We were a group of photographers and so wanted a bespoke tour using lodges used to photographers. Really helpful to have an Australian based operator. Ryan helped us to put together an excellent program visiting Amboseli and the Mara. Mara in particular was excellent using Kicheche lodges who specialise in photographic safaris. Any issue we had while on safari (and there wasn't many!), we could immediately get on WhatsApp and Ryan would have it sorted that day. Amazing service! 5 star service.
Will definately use again (once I build up the funds again!)

Ryan at Untamed Safaris was excellent, easy to contact and quick to reply to any query.
My bucket list safari to Kenya and Tanzania was all I could wish for. I was promptly met at Nairobi airport by Newton and taken to a lovely hotel.
Met driver/guide Daniel who was fantastic. He had a wealth of knowledge and his driving skills over the terrain was exceptional. Saw the big 5 on the 1st day. Unbelievable.
Loved all of Kenya and travel companions were great. Handed over at Tanzanian border to Simon who again was fantastic. Loved the scenery, culture and people.
If you want a lifetime of memories, look at Untamed Safaris.

You will want to go back!
I highly recommend Untamed Safaris. My trip to Kenya and Tanzania was my second experience with Untamed Safaris and I am already planning my third! Just like my first experience, every detail was taken care of. This is so important in Africa as there is a lot that needs to be coordinated, and having a tour company you can trust is necessary as you're out in the wilderness. Ryan Kendall was brilliant to deal with, you can tell he knows Africa very well and every question was given the utmost attention. Ryan worked closely with us to create a tailor-made private tour of close to 3 weeks to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. All the lodges and meals were of a very high standard, and we had great guides with very well-maintained vehicles. A private trip also meant we could be flexible with our time and we often stopped for an hour or two to observe something incredible including playful cheetah, hunting lions, baby elephants and a zebra river crossing. I came home with so many wonderful memories and photographs but also a real sense of what these places and animals are all about.
