Fantastic End-to-End Experience
We booked a five day safari in the Masai Mara for the family with Wayfairer and had a wonderful time. The sales team was knowledgeable and responsive in terms of designing a trip to our specifications, providing helpful expert suggestions along the way. The trip Wayfairer put together was absolutely fantastic in terms of logistics, wildlife, and accommodation, and it was excellent value for money given the overall experience. We also greatly appreciated Wayfairer's concierge service, which provided helpful practical travel/logistics support and advice in the run-up to and during the trip itself. Highly recommended!

A very professional agency, safe, good safaris and hotels
It has been an incredible tour, seeing the animals on safari was something that we will never forget, the closeness with them and nature is something impressive. The hotels (camps) they managed were from another world, they were very nice, comfortable and safe, as was the food.
The contact with George from day 1 was excellent, he always answered me very quickly and very clearly on what they offered, the price is excellent compared to other options, the only thing I would do as a recommendation is that on the tour they offered me 1 day in Nairobi they had put me in my itinerary that we would visit the elephant orphanage and when we were there they told me that there was no place but it was because they did not reserve on time, but well it was not something serious but they should be careful with that.
Overall everything was excellent and I highly recommend it.
Another important thing was our guide Lawi, he was always looking out for us, he fulfilled all the requests we asked him for photos and he made a great effort to find all the animals, thank you very much Lawi greetings from Mexico.
thank you
An excellence operator,with experienced drivers who are very patience especially with kids.
We had the most amaizing time at maasai mara as a family,with a lot of activities involved e.g early morning and evening drive where we were able to see all the big five.

We had an amazing experience!!
We visited Tanzania on Feb 2022. The trip was thoroughly enjoyable and impressed by Safari Planners (James, and Faith). We explored Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National park, Serengeti, and more. The places, the food, the guide, and the accommodations provided are amazing.

Superb customer service from well-respected and knowledgeable staff!
I recently returned from a two week African safari with my two adult daughters - our first safari ever. Every aspect of this adventure exceeded my expectations and none of it would have been possible without the help of the staff at Wandering Thru! Going on a safari was a childhood dream of mine, and when I seriously considered taking the trip, I knew I needed a lot of help to figure out where to go, how to get there, how much it would cost, etc. Initially, I worked with Tayla to define my options. I told her what I wanted to achieve with this trip, and she helped me develop a fantastic itinerary! About four months before departure, the Omicron variant hit, and all kinds of testing requirements were put in place. Ale helped me to understand what the financial burden would have been so we realized changes might have to happen. About two months before departure, the decision was made to stick to two countries instead of going to three, and Tayla and Ale helped figure out alternatives that would not increase costs substantially. We had already purchased international and regional flight tickets and worried about finding open accommodations so close to departure. Everything was finalized (or so I thought!) a few weeks before departure. And then one of the regional flight providers was grounded! Throughout my trip, Tayla was there to add to our enjoyment and enrichment with her vast knowledge of African flora and fauna, while in the background, Ale was monitoring all the logistics issues. The day before our last regional flight, we had to make changes again, but the two of them took care of everything, even providing documentation for my travel insurance claim! Why should you use Wandering Thru? Excellent customer service, incredible knowledge about the different countries and what they would offer for safaris, a vast network and excellent reputation with the lodges and camps in different countries, experience as trained guides, professional photography backgrounds, and the friendliest people you will ever meet! Now that I have been bitten by the safari bug, I’ve already started creating a list of places I want to go to with the staff from Wandering Thru!

Excellent last minute Safari with Raymond
We were 4 friends on a last minute safari to Kenya. Communication was very quick and they were able to adapt to our needs. We managed to book the sarafi within an hour of making initial contact on a Sunday. Our guide Raymond was excellent! Friendly, knowledgeable and very hospitable. We were luck enough to see the big 5 all in 1 day! Our pictures were out of this world. The lodge that we stayed in the Masai mara was also very nice and the staff were welcoming with great service. I would definitely recommend Raymond and Karibu Safaris for good value for money.

A very friendly, educated tour driver
The most educational safari we had. Driver was very friendly and helpful in all areas. My children enjoyed the whole safari with very comfortable landcruiser. We saw and learnt about most of the kenyan wildlife in the Mara.

Superb, efficient and amazing
I contacted maraka tours sometime last year to organize a safari to relax and unwind after a crazy COVID period. They were very fast in their responses, gave me a clear list on places that would interest me and a clear quotation. I loved their quick and articulate responses as compared to other travel agencies who were quite slow in their responses. I made deposits as required and came for my trip early this year. For lack of better words it was AMAZING. Every experience was worth every coin spent. I enjoyed my safari and I highly recommend Maraka for all your tour needs.
Amazing
It was simply amazing from the booking process through to the safaris.
Donald has a wealth of experience and is able to tailor your adventure according to your budget and schedule.
Kennedy is an amazing guide and driver. He really made the whole experience memorable
