Fantastic Safari, great staff
5/5

We were unsure about booking our Safari in advance as we have had received offers from different providers and we felt most of them were expecting us to bargain. Out of them all, Hilary's quote was the most complete and crystal clear from the beginning. He contacted me on Whatsapp and from then we had great communication. He arranged pick up from the airport pretty quick (we confirmed only 24 hours before our arrival) and everything went perfectly. He even arranged transportation for us in Arusha in our day off at a very convenient rate. Regarding the Safari, simply fantastic. Driver Edgar was clearly quite experienced and patient and chef Dioniz Adam was very funny and his dishes were always delicious. Our trip was always above every expectation we had. Campsites were well located (and beautiful), tents were good quality and truck was comfy with power outlets for our mobile phones. We were always in good position for pictures and saw some impressive landscapes. You know you're in good hands when your driver is leading the pack when spotting animals and that's what these guys have provided. Will recommend Suricata to all my friends. Very good Safari for a fair price. Can't get any better :)

I did not go on any safaris but booked my accommodation through Falcon Safaris. The accommodation was very good and we got a family room as we had requested.

Great 7 day safari in Botswana
4/5

We did the 7-Day Moremi & Chobe Wilderness Trail 2 Pax. I can definitely recommend this tour. A mobile safari is a unique experience, and we enjoyed it a lot.

Our team (guide Teenage and chef GeBe) was fantastic. Monametsi, the facilitator of the company, worked very hard to solve the issues that came up at the beginning of the tour.

Great tour, lots of impressive animals, unorganized schedule
4/5

We booked a 4-days tour through Masai Mara NP, Lake Naivasha with boat ride and Nakuro NP with 2 nights speeping in a tented camp and on night in a hotel.
lots of animals
great driver
unorganized scheduling
acceptable accomodations
respectful treatment of animals

It was a gorgeous journey and our driver, James, was one of the highlights beside the impressive animals! We saw nearly everything we dreamed of, elephants, lions, a cheetah, rhinos, different types of giraffes, a lot of different beautiful birds, hippos, monkeys, buffalos, antilopes... only the leopard we missed, but James gave his very best. We saw the most animals incredibly near, for example lions or giraffes with a distance of less than 5m or rhinos with less than 10m. But it never seemed to injure the animals freedom.
It was just a pitty, that we needed to discuss with different people so often about what be booked, what was included and how the plan for the tour was. For example we didn‘t have a walking/cycling tour, we didn‘t get 3l water per person per day but 1l instead, we didn‘t visit the Hells gate NP, we didn‘t see the promised baby elephant in an extra area, we didn‘t visit the giraffe center.
All in all, the tour was quite different than described. The tour was described very detailed with certain timeslots and in a specific order, but nothing matched to that schedule, which does actually not matter, but nobody told us so. So we expected for example to drive to the lake Naivasha, but arrived at the Masai Mara NP and wondered if we took the wrong tour bus by accident...
The booked accomodations were acceptable, espacially for the price we paid, ~400 US $ per person. The first one at the Masai Mara NP was a tented camp with a nice areal and quite delicious food. The second one at Nakuro NP was in the Hotel Citynax with very friendly personal. But in both accomodations it lasted ~20 mins until we get warm water in the shower. While the water in the hotel just got semi warm to still too cold ~20 celsius degrees. This hotel also didn‘t have the promised standard as descibed with „Gilden Palace Hotel or similar“.
Nevertheless it was a great experience and I would book another tour with your company again.

Excellent tour with friendful guides and clear organization!!
5/5

Excellent tour with friendful guides and clear organization !!
All interactions and communications were very operational and understandable. All the prior agreements were fully complied, and my expectations were fully matched. The level of service is excellent, very attentive guides Richard and James (on safari) and Daniel (on excursion in Nairobi), completely satisfied all the wishes and left the most good impression. Accommodation is also completely satisfied - the camp is very comfortable and I really liked it, and the hotels carry a colonial style and have a great place for a photo session. Safari tour itself was very successful, we saw all the animals of Africa and many times - thanks guides for this. Really liked the day in Nairobi - glad that did not fly away immediately and gave myself the opportunity to relax and enjoy the interesting places of the city - the guide organized everything perfectly.
Overall I am very pleased and grateful for the opportunity to visit Africa. There was not a single problem or complexity, everything went perfectly !!

It was the trip of lifetime! The experience was unforgettable..
5/5

My friends and I are grateful for the wonderful Safari experience we had in Tanzania thanks to the excellent service provided by Fair Travel Group. From the moment I contacted them the communication felt more personal than other companies. Our organizer El was very attentive to our needs via text messaging and was able to organize the perfect tour for us. Even when the plans changed, and we had to move the dates, Fair Travel Group was able to modify our schedule at no additional cost! Once we arrived in Tanzania, the hospitality and service we received was incredible. El and our Safari Guide Dennis welcomed us at the airport. The experience once in the Safari was beyond what we could have imagined, and scenes looked like the real Lion King. I was amazed at how well they handled all the logistics and made sure we enjoyed the experience. We highly recommend Dennis as a tour guide. We were fortunate to have his expertise to find the “Big Five” animals.

Thanks, Fair Travel Group. We look forward to comeback during the future!

Dream come true holiday
5/5

Our African holiday dream safari came true in the best possible manner. We had the best sightings, the most thrilling experiences and everything was possible due to the patient guidance of our driver and tour guide Peter. A man of few words, his focus was entirely on ensuring we got to see what we flew so many KM's to experience, whether it was the beautiful vast Savannah or the natural wonder in the form of the Great Migration. We would want to come back again and again but only with Peter. Thank you once again for EVERYTHING.

They were professional, responsive, knowledgeable and courteous - We were completely satisfied!
5/5

From our very first contact with Wild Destinations until our arrival in Nairobi for the start of our 11-day safari, the time elapsed was just over one year. During the entire time, Nairobi resident sister tour operators Shaheen and Fareen were quick and comprehensive in their responses to our questions as well as making sure we were doing what we needed to do for the trip. Having made several initial inquiries to other tour operators, our comfort level with choosing Wild Destinations started early and continued to grow as there was no doubt they were committed to providing quality services caring for both their clients experience and for the animals and resources of Africa.

As for rating our actual safari experience, that's easy. Simply FANTASTIC! We could not be more satisfied! Yes we booked early to be in prime locations at prime times so the animals were there in abundance. But the quality and experience level of our guides at every camp was clearly evident. Four different camps, four different guides, each providing an in-depth local knowledge of the area and the animals and getting us up close more often than not. And every detail of our itinerary was booked and executed perfectly. All our expectations were met and exceeded.

In summary, we know we could have paid more and we know we could have paid less with other choices or other tour operators. But we have no doubt Wild Destinations provides truly incredible safari experiences at reasonable and fair prices.

They listened to us ... And they delivered!
Thank You - Thank You - Thank You

A most amazing trip to one of the premiere African wildlife and birding destinations!
Overall rating
5/5

I am still posting photos of this amazing place.! My wife and I rented a camper van in Johannesburg and then drove to Punda Maria Rest Camp. Picked up supplies on the way. Then spent the entire next week going north to south along the park, staying at the rest camps along the way. Simply an AMAZING experience. Although we missed wild dogs, as a photographer I took >50,000 images which is what I am still processing. Scenery and wildlife were spectacular, and my wife and I would love to return soon. Cannot overstate the value of this national park. DO IT! You will be amazed.
