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.

Personable boutique service
5/5

Ryan couldn't have been better to work with. From the first contact to going on the trip Ryan was always available to answer any questions and went through the itinerary completely. We went on the 12 day Botswana /Zimbabwe tour and the properties and experience couldn't have been better. The properties Untamed Safaris use the Desert&Delta Group were all outstanding. LeRoo La Tau in the Makgadikgadi Pans, Camp Xakanaxa in Moremi , Xugana Island Lodge in the Okavango Delta , and Chobe Game Lodge in Chobe.We highly recommend Untamed Safaris to anyone.

A competent tour organiser with a personal touch
5/5

My two travel friends and I could not have been happier with the Nottens Bush Camp safari organised for us by Ryan at Untamed. The wildlife sightings were beyond our expectations and the lodge was lovely- drivers, other staff, dining and accommodation fantastic. All our transfers and flights on either end worked well too. I thoroughly recommend Untamed Safaris.

Ryan was very efficient, prompt and listened to what 4 of us wanted, communicating between two zones
5/5

We had a magnificent and amazing safari experience, travelling to Johannesburg, one couple from UK and the other from Australia, then travelling on to Kasane, Chobe and the Ngomi Safari private safari lodge. We were welcomed upon arrival with staff singing and giving us hot flannels. The food was amazing, service very personal and the game drives with Tebby fabulous. Then went to Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls and Batonka Lodge was also very welcoming, comfortable and good food. Had a helicopter ride over Victoria Falls which was fabulous. Then on to Kings Camp, Timbavati private game reserve, excellent accommodation, service and food once more.
The Guide Jason was fantastic, we saw all the animals in the wild and he gave us so much information and enjoyment on every game drive we went on.
All the transfers were perfect, on time and smooth with very friendly drivers, cold water and stops if we needed them, all completely reliable and on time.
All in all, we had the most amazing and fantastic experience of a first time on safari, so wonderful!
Thank you!
