Exceded All Expectations
After four previous trips to Africa, my father-in-law finally got around to inviting me to join him on trip number five. So along with him and my mother-in-law, as well as 5 other family members, and with zero expectations going into it, I headed out on a three and half week journey to Africa (Kenya and Tanzania). Although I was excited for the experience and looking forward to spending time with my family I didn't really know what I was getting myself in to. My father-in-law spent over a year planning the trip but I had very little to do with that process.
From the moment I arrived in Nairobi and met Niko, Susan, and Eliud I knew that I was in for something amazing. From beginning to end every aspect of my trip was perfect. I had the opportunity of getting to know four (Niko, Eliud, Ray and Jackson) very knowledgeable and most importantly, kind, guides. Each with their own distinct personalities, all of which added to the value of my overall experience. The transportation was comfortable and reliable. The accommodations along the way were out of this world...far more then I was expecting. And thats not to even mention the amazing animals that we were able to see along the way.
Although this was my first safari trip, based off the previous experience of others, I have no problem with saying that I believe Susan and Niko, along with the rest of their staff, provide one of the top experiences in Africa. I'm already starting to think about a return trip and I can't imagine using anyone other than The Destination Consultants. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

The best planned AND executed safari I have experience in five trips to East/Southern Africa.
Susan planned a complex safari to 10 parks, in two countries (Kenya/Tanzania) over a three week period and Niko executed the plan without a hitch. Our party included eight people and had to be changed several times during the planning stages due to employment problems and a death in the family but every change was accommodated quickly and efficiently with no fuss.
The safari exceeded our every expectation. This was my 5th safari in East and Southern Africa and easily ranks as the best in terms of guiding, accommodations and value for the money. Each of the four guides was knowledgeable, experienced and had great people skills as well as a good sense of humor. Niko arranged for us to visit a school I have helped support for many years and he lugged around two large bags of supplies for two weeks while we were getting there.
All in all it was a near perfect experience and I would recommend their services to anyone, experienced safari goer or novice, without reservation.

Perfect safari, excellent partners www.kenyatanzaniasafari.com
The Destination Consultants - a family business of Nick and Susan. They are interested in each customer and therefore try to accommodate all the tourists wishes. Our trip to Kenya with Nico was superb. He did everything that we asked for (and even more). I have dealt with a number of tour operators in Kenya, but now I know it's not just another travel agency, and I have a new good friend in Kenya. I hope that those who will have to deal with Niko will remain very satisfied. All the best of luck and to Kenya to meet with The Destination Consultant

Great 16 days safari in Kenya i Tanzania
My wife and I visited Kenya second time. We found the agency online and they got back to us in only few hours with all the information.
All was very well organized by „The Destination Consultants” and we found it good value for money.
The correspondence with Niko and Susan was very smooth, prompt and clear and they lived up to their promises.
We opted for the most basic accommodation offers and we found them all very neat.
Our program was made perfectly, just like we wanted.
We started in Nairobi, then went to Samburu, Nakuru & Masai Mara. It was amazing time with our guide Evans and the cook Kimani. Evans was very respectful, punctual, kind, patient and had the best eye!!! We had the chance to witness so many things thanks to his patience. We saw wildebeests and zebras crossing the river Mara, Big Five and manym many other animals and we didn't have to hurry up. It was fantastic to see a black rhino female with the young one!!! Kimani, we called him „Mama” cooked very tasty and was a great comrade. It was amazing time.
After visiting Kenya we changed the car and the Raymond & Mandela were our team. We started in Serengeti, then went to Ngorongoro, Lakes Manyara and Natron and then to Tarangire. Raymond was who we needed: professional, but cheerful, great driver and with an amazing eyesight. We had amazing discussions about interesting wildlife facts. We saw again big five, dozens lions, hyenas, leopards, many birds and many others animals. Mandela cooked delicious.
We would like to thank all the people that made this experience unforgettable: Niko, Susan, Evans, Kimani, Raymond, Mandela and all the people in the guest house.
We would like to make special mention of Niko. He was very helpful in all subjects and sent prompt responses. He was a big help in the planning of the entire trip and always friendly.
We must say that it was an unforgettable experience with the people we could only dream about. I would definitely go to safaris with The Destination Consultants again and again!

Best company for your safari in both Kenya and Tanzania
Niko, Susan and company do a great job. They are personable and knowledgeable. Our safaris have been great (have been on more than one). We saw everything we wanted to, had very nice accommodations, great food and wonderful guides.
