Ryan from Untamed Safaris was the ultimate in tour operators!
5/5

Just returned from the most amazing trip to South Africa organized by Ryan of Untamed Safaris. The itinerary was so well planned & ticked every experience we have always dreamt of doing in Sth Africa. Every minute detail Ryan planned went off without a hitch …. exciting destinations, beautiful accommodation, great internal flights, tours, guides, transport & the list goes on, absolutely faultless! The beauty of Sth Africa, the warmth of the African people & the majestic animals in their natural habitat (Especially the BIG 5) will remain with us always as being our most exciting holiday ever. THANKYOU again Untamed Safaris would not have been possible without you. We cannot recommend you more highly.

Efficient all areas were completed as per itinerary
5/5

We did a four week African safari tour including south Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia,Kenya and Tanzania. The arrangements were all met as per itinerary.
The safaris were extensive and met all our expectations. The lodges chosen by untamed safaris were of high quality and provided friendly service of a high standard.
I would recommend untamed safaris as an organisation that went above and beyond to ensure we had a quality holiday.

Excellent
5/5

Our Untamed Safaris tour of Africa was brilliant and well and truly exceeded our expectations.
The destinations on our itinerary were extremely well chosen and gave us a different African experience at each.
The accommodation selected was first class and carefully chosen in light of our requirements and in our view, the best on offer.
Every flight, car pick up and tour was well organised and went smoothly without any problems.
We also had Ryan's contact details in case we needed to contact him, which was appreciated as this was our first trip to Africa.
We would highly recommend Untamed Safaris to anyone looking to go to Africa.
Thank you Ryan!

All Around Outstanding and Putting Together a Brilliant13 Day Itinerary to Tanzania & Kenya
5/5

Ryan Kendall from Untamed Safaris put together a personalised 13 day itinerary for us showcasing Tanzania and Kenya.
Our trip was a real adventure with many highlights and we experienced something different each day.
There were many pick-ups/drop-offs to negotiate with airports, road transfers, small airstrips and border crossings. Everything worked like clockwork and we were never let down in any area we visited.
Our itinerary showcased the Elewana Collection of accommodation - we visited quite a few of their properties and they were all first class in every respect.
We would definitely recommend Ryan to anyone considering planning a trip to Africa. His knowledge, contacts and advice made our trip planning a breeze and if there were any questions he was very quick to get back to us.

From start to finish this tour was 1st class in every way. Every little detail added to a very memorable experience. The accommodation was fantastic with the best views. The staff couldn't do enough for you and the food was great.
The guides were great drivers and made you feel very safe. I cannot recommend Untamed Safaris enough. I didn't want this experience to end. Thank you Ryan from Untamed Safaris.

Personable boutique service
5/5

Ryan couldn't have been better to work with. From the first contact to going on the trip Ryan was always available to answer any questions and went through the itinerary completely. We went on the 12 day Botswana /Zimbabwe tour and the properties and experience couldn't have been better. The properties Untamed Safaris use the Desert&Delta Group were all outstanding. LeRoo La Tau in the Makgadikgadi Pans, Camp Xakanaxa in Moremi , Xugana Island Lodge in the Okavango Delta , and Chobe Game Lodge in Chobe.We highly recommend Untamed Safaris to anyone.

A Flawless First Safari Experience
5/5

This was our very first trip to Africa, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience organised by Untamed Safaris. Ryan was recommended to us and immediately stood out for his efficiency and professionalism. Despite booking quite late in the season (after being told by other operators that it would be impossible to secure accommodation), he managed to confirm every lodge for us within just one day.
From start to finish everything ran like clockwork. Transfers were seamless, the vehicles were spotless, and the drivers, guides and trackers were all knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The accommodation Ryan suggested exceeded all of our expectations – every lodge was beautiful with excellent facilities and service. The safari itself was absolutely unforgettable. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, as well as many other animals up close, and each game drive was an exciting and well-organised experience.
Ryan’s advice and knowledge made planning so easy and stress-free. We would not hesitate to recommend Untamed Safaris to anyone planning a safari or trip to Africa!

Untamed Safaris exceeded our expectations.
5/5

This has been our third safari with Untamed Safaris. I could simply stop here as this fact should confirm our satisfaction with the consultation, professionalism and delivery of three excellent safaris. Two years ago we thought about a safari in Africa. Ryan Kendall and Untamed Safaris was recommended by a professional colleague who had engaged them previously. We visited Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kruger and most recently Kenya and Tanzania focusing on Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire NP. The first two trips were on a scheduled safari with a small group. Very well coordinated good guides, lodges and meals. The most recent trip we decided to take up Ryan's suggestions of a Private Tailor Made Safari. The consultative process, coordination and delivery was at another superior level. We so appreciated Ryan's advice. We enjoyed these safaris so much that we have already commenced planning for our next adventure.
