Amazing Experience
5/5

We can highly recommend Wayfairer Travel. Starting with the first video call with Ettienne in South Africa regarding our planned Safari, Ettienne quickly understood our needs and wishes and put together an amazing itinerary in two different areas of the greater Kruger region, so that we were able to experience varied landscapes and wildlife populations. Ettienne and our support person from the local concierge team, Dalia, were always available and responsive to answer questions and support us before and during our trip. Both lodges - and especially Little Garonga in the Makalali Reserve - were fantastic, and all the transfers went very smoothly. It was a fantastic, once in a lifetime experience and we felt very well cared for throughout the trip.

They obsess the details
5/5

The advisor listened to our details needs. He helped refined our plans and ensure we had the best experience we could. All this tailored to our needs. There were never any judgments about what we wanted or should do and he guided us. We thought about doing the whole organisation by ourself. It would have been impossible and costly.

The Concierge was also exceptional, ensuring we did not have to think about anything, and yet had all our bases covered

Excellence and Attention to Detail
5/5

I highly recommend Wayfairer. If you want to go on an African safari and have a flawless experience, choose them. They were attentive, flexible, knowledgeable, and made our family vacation memorable.

Amazing Africa
5/5

Wayfairer Travel would be one of the best we have booked with.
From the very beginning after discussing with Colin what we wanted and our budget, it didn't take long for him to come back with what i would say was an Amazing trip / itinerary.
After paying our deposit we were assigned a concierge member (Toon ) who was equally amazing and very helpful.
We arrived in Capetown from a Cruise ( booked independently ) and were met by our transport and were taken to our Boutique Hotel.
We loved the fact that Colin arranged for our stay to be in smaller Boutique Hotels. The staff at everyone we stayed at were amazing.
I could keep going on for ever as the trip was fantastic. All our day trips were on time and the drivers were knowledgeable and personal.
Our internal connections and pick up were all on time.
Overall, we had a brilliant holiday helped by the Knowledge and assistance of Colin and Toon.
i would highly recommend Wayfairer Travel to anyone .

Best in the business
5/5

I had an amazing journey across southern African countries. Etienne and Lorna from Wayfairer travels organised my entire itinerary with fabulous accommodations, locations and hosts. Everything went as per plan without any single issue throughout 15 days of my trip.

Exceptional trip, exceptional service.
5/5

Went on an anniversary trip to kenya & Seychelles over the new year. All aspects of this trip were amazing. Started with my initial consultation with Ellie who crafted a bespoke itinerary for our Safari in the Maasai Mare. Accommodations were exceptional and the animal viewings exceeded expectations. We’d never been on Safari before and it was life changing. All transfers were seamless with help and guidance at every point.
Lorna was our point person while on the trip and she responded to all of our what’s app questions immediately.
I can only say, if you are going to do a bucket list trip of a lifetime, do it right. Honestly can’t recommend Wayfairer more highly.

Wayfairer helped us plan a perfect first visit to South Africa.
5/5

I can't say enough good things about Wayfairer Travel and the properties we visited on our first trip to Africa and South Africa. Our travel consultant (Kate) was extremely helpful in putting the plan together through multiple Zoom conversations. She took the time to get to know us and made excellent recommendations. When we thought we would not be able to book one of the properties because they showed no availability, she was able to contact them and get us in. That would not have happened without her and Wayfairer. Our concierge (Prada) was also very helpful in planning, organizing, and getting ready for the trip. Everything was handled in advance--airport pickup, drivers between locations, transfers, domestic flights within South Africa--they took care of everything.

The budget for the entire trip was very reasonable for the quality of properties where we stayed. I'm already looking at another trip to other parts of Africa later this year and will be using Wayfairer for that trip as well. I can't recommend them enough. The trip could not have been better!
