5/5

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.

Reliable, knowledgeable, attentive, friendly
5/5

It was such an easy pleasurable experience dealing with Ryan. He took the time to get to know what our requirements were and suggested an itinerary that suited us perfectly. Accommodation was top class and the ground transportation did not miss a beat. Most memorable family holiday ever

Untamed Safaris exceeded our expectations.
5/5

This has been our third safari with Untamed Safaris. I could simply stop here as this fact should confirm our satisfaction with the consultation, professionalism and delivery of three excellent safaris. Two years ago we thought about a safari in Africa. Ryan Kendall and Untamed Safaris was recommended by a professional colleague who had engaged them previously. We visited Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kruger and most recently Kenya and Tanzania focusing on Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire NP. The first two trips were on a scheduled safari with a small group. Very well coordinated good guides, lodges and meals. The most recent trip we decided to take up Ryan's suggestions of a Private Tailor Made Safari. The consultative process, coordination and delivery was at another superior level. We so appreciated Ryan's advice. We enjoyed these safaris so much that we have already commenced planning for our next adventure.

“Fantastic service from start to finish – everything was seamless, professional, and unforgettable!”
5/5

We recently had the most amazing trip to South Africa, Zambia, and Namibia arranged through Ryan at Untamed Safaris. It was nothing short of incredible! Ryan was fantastic to deal with and organized everything perfectly. From the moment we arrived, everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the adventures ahead.
The game drives were the absolute highlight—each one offering something new and unforgettable. Seeing such magnificent animals in their natural environment was truly breathtaking. We loved exploring Cape Town, especially the V&A Waterfront and a visit to Stellenbosch. Victoria Falls completely blew us away with its sheer power and beauty, and we ended our journey on the Chobe River, watching elephants swim, hippos laze, and even a leopard strolling along the riverbank.
It was the trip of a lifetime. We can’t recommend Ryan and Untamed Safaris highly enough and will definitely book with them again in the future!

Ryan from Untamed Safaris in Australia was very knowledgeable, responsive, and always helpful.
5/5

Ryan from Untamed Safaris in Australia was an absolute pleasure to deal with and put together a great African itinerary for my wife and I that made our safari holiday very easy and most enjoyable. Basically all we had to do was turn up and enjoy. Our itinerary included a 4 night game park stay at Simbavati River Lodge (an absolute must!) in Sth Africa, 3 nights at Cape Town in Sth Africa, 2 nights River safari on the Chobe River in Namibia and 3 nights at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Ryan arranged all transfers, border crossings, accommodation, internal flights and day trips. Everything was spot on, not a problem with anything. All vehicles and drivers were great and always on time, accommodation was good and in good locations, flights were at good times and Ryan gave us plenty of pre-trip information and advice. I highly recommend anyone looking at an African safari to get in touch with Ryan at Untamed Safaris.

A Flawless First Safari Experience
5/5

This was our very first trip to Africa, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience organised by Untamed Safaris. Ryan was recommended to us and immediately stood out for his efficiency and professionalism. Despite booking quite late in the season (after being told by other operators that it would be impossible to secure accommodation), he managed to confirm every lodge for us within just one day.
From start to finish everything ran like clockwork. Transfers were seamless, the vehicles were spotless, and the drivers, guides and trackers were all knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The accommodation Ryan suggested exceeded all of our expectations – every lodge was beautiful with excellent facilities and service. The safari itself was absolutely unforgettable. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, as well as many other animals up close, and each game drive was an exciting and well-organised experience.
Ryan’s advice and knowledge made planning so easy and stress-free. We would not hesitate to recommend Untamed Safaris to anyone planning a safari or trip to Africa!

Outstanding Knowledge and Impeccable Attention to Detail
5/5

We have just got back from a month travelling through South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe and we are still on a 'safari high.' Untamed Safaris were our tour operators, and we cannot fault them. All communications, from our initial contact through to the conclusion of our travels, were friendly and respectful. Nothing was too much trouble, and no matter the changes/questions/requests (and there were plenty), responses were prompt, efficient and informative. We dealt with Ryan and his knowledge of travel throughout Africa was incredible. He helped us shape a trip that met all of our expectations and more, within our budget and time constraints. Our trip ran seamlessly, from flights, transfers, accommodation, car hire and safaris. The attention to detail in our itinerary meant we had a carefree holiday which exceeded all of our expectations. If you are planning a trip to Africa, and you definitely should, you cannot go wrong with Untamed Safaris. We are already planning a return and will definitely be using Untamed Safaris to advise us and coordinate our travels. We cannot rate them highly enough!

The curated adventure exceeded my expectations.
5/5

Untamed Safaris curated an African adventure beyond my expectations. From finalising our bespoke itinerary, keeping in touch through out the year before we travelled to ensure important requirements were done well in advance, ensuring partner tour operators in Africa were professional and ensured our safety at all times and more importantly Ryan checked in on our group regularly while we were travelling. That’s world class service and with all the years of experience that Ryan has gathered from his travels in Africa his passion for Africa rubbed off on us even before we left. Thank you for making my bucket list holiday so special.

Terrific, everything ran so smoothly, and nothing was too much trouble to rearrange.
5/5

This would have to be one of the best holidays we have ever had. Africa was everything we ever imagined and more. The animals, the scenery, the people and the wonderful food and wine. Camp George was an amazing and luxurious end to our holiday. Thank you Ryan for organising this exceptional trip.

Untamed Safaris intimate knowledge of Africa provided a superb and unforgettable bespoke experience.
5/5

Ryan from Untamed Safaris went above and beyond. His advice, service, intimate and informed knowledge of Africa were invaluable. Every detail and recommendation delivered a smooth, hassle-free and varied safari experience. He communicated with us each leg of the trip, checking in to ensure that our needs were being met. Ryan’s advice to plan a year in advance ensured that we secured our preferred high-demand accommodation in Botswana and Kenya whilst keeping within our budget. We are now planning our next year’s trip with Untamed Safaris to Namibia and Zambia to expand on our unique African experiences.
