An amazing Safari experience with TripQuest
TripQuest was one of 3 tour operators we chose for our Safari tour with 12 friends. For 8 months, we have had several communications with Martin to discuss our itinerary, our choice of accommodation etc... which Martin had all agreed with. The tour started in Kenya and then moved to Tanzania. From day one we were so excited to meet our Kenyan guides who gave us to city tour then a day later, drove us in the first game drive to see the wild animals. Only when we crossed the border to Tanzania, our group together with our Tanzanian guides started a series of game drives that were unforgettable. Not only our group had a great time in the Safari with the knowledgeable, dedicated and fun drivers/guides, we had also cheerful moments being together in the Land Cruiser and in the restaurants for breakfast and dinner during our 16 day trip. Our guide David was exceptional in his joyful behaviour and helpful communications with other guides to locate the animals. Both guides were so accommodating and easy to be with. We also found the camps and lodges during our trip were so comfortable. Truly, Thanks to TripQuest for this unforgettable Safari experience.

Benson was amazing at answering all my questions and getting back to me in a timely manner.
I booked this safari last minute. And as this was my first safari, I felt I wasn’t sure I knew what I was doing. Benson was amazing from start to finish. He answered all my questions right away.
The Safari was exceptional, it was so much better than I had expected. The accommodations and food were top notch.
And our driver & guide Anthony was phenomenal. He was very helpful and informative. He seemed to know exactly where to go to see the wildlife. And he was very professional.
It was so satisfying to end the safari feeling it was so much better than I had expected.

Excellent service!
We went for a tour 3 days Maasai Mara and our driver was George. The whole experience was amazing from the beginning. Perminus was great, always responding emails or messages immediately, the place that we stayed was beautiful and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. George was great, he made sure we enjoy the Safari experience, we saw many lions, elephants, Tsavo Cat, buffalo’s and many more! I highly recommend this tour company! Thank you Perminus and George, we will definitely come back next season.

Wonderfull experience
I went on a safari to Amboseli 2 years ago now. I have traveled a lot and seen many beautiful things in my life but this experience remains the most beautiful of my entire life: the grandeur of the landscapes, the exceptional wildlife… plus John was a great guide, he is super friendly, funny and organized the trip from Nairobi with wonder. I really recommend. everything was perfect. you can go there with your eyes closed.

Unforgettable Amazing Experience
We initially booked this trip for April 2020 but as we all knew, disaster striked and the whole world went into lockdown! but after 3 years, we got back in touch w DTT n they accepted that we could still go on the tour n our deposit was still valid, we finally made the trip! We also finally met Fanuel and Notty whom we have been discussing and planning our trip (via whatsapp), both have been very helpful in providing the information we needed.
On the safari trip itself, our guide - Lukus was just amazing! He took the time to explain everything to us at every site/sight we stopped to see. He was also very flexible with our request. We were lucky that we were the only 2 people on the trip, so if we saw something interesting or if we spotted an animal, Lukus happily obliged n stopped the car for us to take photos and wait for the animals to pop up again. The places we went to was just jaw-dropping amazing, the landscapes of Namibia is truly out of this world (and i've traveled to many places -Atacama dessert, the sahara, Tibet, n so forth, i think Namibia wins hands down. The landscape is so diverse, we went to Sossusvlei n Deadvlei, its like an artwork. Lukus hiked up the Big Daddy with us until we gave up n took the shortcut down. He also made sure we were safe all along the way. If we needed to get something, Lukus was more than happy to make a small detour to help us.
We wanted to support a local Namibian travel company when we were looking for tours rather than an international travel conglomerate and I'm glad we made this decision. Thank you again, DTT for making this travel an unforgettable experience!

Ask for Sir Charles as a guide he is the best
First of all I recommend the guide/driver Sir Charles! The communication before the safari with Maureen also went well. They offer Jeep instead of van for the best price. Sir Charles was the best! Why? He was driving very well, had a lot of specific knowledge of animals coming from the heart and many years of experience. And of course: nowing how to find them. We saw 4 out of 5 of the big 5 in a few days and that is rare. Being tactical, fast and communicating with the right timing. That was the best combination. We got everything we expected and more! Charles made an extra effort to drive also to Navaisha, while we were on the 4 day 3 night Masai Maara/Lake Nakuru safari. So I can only say: ask for him when you book.

Everything was fantastic.
Our guide Ronnie was amazing. Very kind, worried about us, about finding all the animals, that we could take good photos, etc. The hotels, especially the one in Masai Mara, were incredible, clean, good food, excellent accommodations and service. It was a tremendous experience that we will never forget. The park we liked the least was Amboselli, there was a lot of dust and the animals were very far away.

comprehensive
I engaged Wayfairer Travel based on their online reviews, and am so glad I did. My trip started a little rough; flight delayed and rebooked the next day. They stayed in touch to make sure I was picked up by their local guide, even though the flights were my own booking. I am a female solo traveler, and I never felt unsafe! Wayfairer contracted with Speke Uganda Holidays for the tour, and they were wonderful. Everything that was offered was accomplished; including some extras. The Gorilla and Chimpanzee habituations were amazing! The ecolodges were very clean, and the food was marvelous! Felt like I was eating my way across Uganda! Local village visits were very interesting and informative. All made me feel welcome. Overall, I strongly recommend their services!
