Peter & Daryl are off to Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania
My wife and I have booked a trip to Rwanda, Kenya and Zanzibar for September. Michelle Cooper dealt with this and gave an excellent service, setting out various options clearly with the relevant pros and cons. She dealt patiently with a whole host of fool questions from me and in the end the trip sounds quite fantastic. Subsequently my son wanted to book a very cheap safari and I contacted your company to see if they could help or advise. Even though we were below your price range Jonny gave good, clear advice about time of year and options and quite unbidden came up with a possible trip that you could arrange. Even though we are not taking this one up we have been impressed with the friendliness, helpfulness, clarity and sheer professionalism of Michelle and Jonny. Both have also responded with impressive promptness at all time. So my thanks to both of them and I wanted you to know how well we have been served.

Listed below are just some of the comments we have received from our customers visiting Tanzania in the past year.
Dear Rob, thank you so much for the many hours you must have spent in putting together such a great holiday - it really paid off! We had good sightings - lions, lots of elephant and buffalo in Tarangire. The pack of wild dogs at Ubuntu was really special (if rather gruesome). I kept a diary of all the experiences, so will be able to keep the memories going! Our three guides were excellent - very knowledgeable indeed in identifying birds and animals (very sharp eyes!) and charming and fun to be with - very courteous and helpful too. They all had great organisational skills.Patrick and Marian travelled to the northern parks of Tanzania, as well as the Selous and Zanzibar

We sought advice from a number of tour operators but when we met Jane she really understood the kind of honeymoon experience we we looking for and used her own experience and expertise to help shape the perfect agenda for us. We were provided with detailed information before the trip and Jane was happy to speak with us at any time (day or night) to answer our questions. Being an adventurous couple we decided to pack our honeymoon full of various experiences and I can honestly say that Jane ensured we were made to feel special at every location, we had a really magical and unforgettable experience. She treated us like friends rather than like clients and when we come to do our next safari there’s no doubt that we’ll go back to Jane to help us put together another amazing trip.John & Lisa travelled on honeymoon to Tanzania

Dear Rob, thank you for your 'Welcome Home' letter. I must say, I was not glad to be home. I didn't want to leave when we moved on to Zanzibar from Ruaha, and I didn't want to leave Zanzibar, when it was time to go home! It was a wonderful holiday and all arrangements were fantastic. Selous and Ruaha were different and I enjoyed them both. However, Ruaha was the highspot. In 2001, when Elaine and I went to Botswana we met a couple of guys who had been in Ruaha and they recommended it so highly, I determined to go one day. It took ten years, but was worth the wait. The landscape is varied and is incredibly beautiful. There is masses of game and not many people. I absolutely loved it. Thanks to you and your team for organising everything so well and ensuring that all travel arrangements worked perfectly.Sidney travelled to Selous, Ruaha and Zanzibar

I suspect on our next visit to Africa we will take more advantage of the advice and experience of Safari Consultants.David and Alison found us on the internet and travelled through north and south Tanzania

Thanks for getting in touch Mary. We had a magical time, particularly at the Kicheche Camp which everyone loved. It was a great choice. Probably should have spent more time there on reflection and less at the beach, but don't worry, the Baraza Resort was terrific as well. The only (minor) downside was all the travelling, particularly on the way back but we knew that was going to happen and it's one of those things. Thank you very much for all your efforts in organising it, and being so calm when we had to switch it all around. Top job!Charlie, Laura and family travelled to Kenya and Zanzibar

Absolutely wonderful holiday!! Safari Consultants are to be commended on their expertise, the advice they provided and the organisation put in place to ensure seamless, hassle free travel and transfers and superb accommodation!Emrys and Pamela travelled to Tanzania's Selous, Ruaha and Zanzibar

I can’t thank you enough. Endless trouble taken by Michele to listen before advising itinerary and selection was spot on for our party. Lewa was a perfect introduction to Africa and game-viewing. Meru, remote – several days we saw no other vehicles on game-drives and elephant visited our camp! Kicheche was everything you led us to expect. Beyt al Chai was stylish and friendly with an excellent restaurant. All logistics worked perfectly. Very reassuring. We’ll be back when we can afford it!Duncan and Christine travelled to Kenya and Zanzibar

Dear Rob, we simply had the most fantastic time. Thank you. The birding was excellent. Wildlife sightings far exceeded our expectations. We even saw 4000 wildebeest cross the Mara complete with crocodiles and lions picking them off! It left us breathless. At Mdonya we saw lion, cheetah and leopard before lunch one day! We have some fantastic photographs. Met other clients of yours at Kicheche who were just as happy with you as we are. We had the time of our lives and hope to return to some places.....thanks for all your organisation which was FAULTLESS.Dorrit and Barbara travelled to south and north Tanzania, as well as to Kenya's Rift Valley and Masai Mara

We had the most memorable and wonderful holiday and all thanks to you. I was remembering that day last November when I first received your email, Rob, with an outline itinerary and for the first time felt a flutter of excitement when the whole trip had just appeared so daunting. Now it is all over but against the odds I made it to Uhuru Peak, Pole Pole! Asante sana.Peter and Joanna travelled to Kenya's Masai Mara before climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and relaxing on Zanzibar

Oh Bill, what an unbelievable trip. We have seen so much and then there was even more! When someone asked Monica for her take on the highlight of the trip; she answered that everyday offered up it's own highlight. I could not agree more. We thanked you every day of our surreal journey. Will be contacting you for our return visit to Africa.

We just wanted to thank you all for arranging such a fantastic holiday for us. We enjoyed every minute of it. The guide, game drives, safari lodges, food etc were so good but the highlight of our holiday was relaxing at Pongwe Beach. It's such a beautiful place and we were looked after so well there. Your advice about spending the last two days in Stone Town was also excellent - we certainly experienced sights & smells that we'd never come across before! We are certainly keen to travel to Africa again and would appreciate your expertise in organising another trip, possibly to Zambia next time.Michael & Belinda travelled to Tanzania

Dear Michele, A very big THANK YOU for the amazing holiday in Kenya and Zanzibar. After receiving information from two other organisations, I was not happy and my instinct told me to look further afield and this was a decision that I shall be thankful for. You knew exactly what we were looking for and even with the short notice you came up with a perfect itinerary and provided every detail necessary. Your advice about tipping, clothing, luggage etc., was followed and paid dividends. I do not know how you managed it, but the amount of time at each Kicheche Camp and at Ras Nungwi and Stonetown was perfect. Not too little and not too much. What I was dreading the most was meetings and transfers as I have had bad experiences. There was no need for concern as everything went off without a hitch and we had the most wonderful people meet us and make sure we were taken care of. I think our biggest hassle was filling out Immigration cards on the aircraft. If you especially arranged for us to see every wildlife imagineable - then thank you. I don't think we missed anything. My only (half-hearted) complaint was that the food and drinks was so superb I put on weight. Thank you Michele and everyone at Safari Consultants, We shall be back.Geoff and Beate travelled to Kenya and Zanzibar
