Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"I try not to anticipate nor expect too much so I won't be disappointed - this trip far exceeded anything I could have imagined, I enjoyed it all so much and it all ran smoothly except the weather the first day but then I would not have experienced Latitude 15.

Thank you for organising such a wonderful itinerary, Freddie, did a great job." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari

"An excellent safari trip to 3 camps which were in quite varied terrain.

Saw wide variety of game and birds, 30 mammals plus other species, over 90 bird species.

All the camps were comfortable and the people staffing them were delightful

Quite happy with my experience so far" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"We loved our honeymoon and couldn't have imagined a better trip!

We made sure we spent as much time as we could out-and-about to see as much wildlife as possible, but we still feel we were very lucky with the number of species we saw at what is considered low season!

We have so many amazing memories which we will cherish forever and can't wait to plan another trip!!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"This is likely our last safari and was a great way to end what has been a passion of ours for 30 years.

We enjoyed new places ( Namibia and Tanzania) , saw incredible sights ( especially the Crater and the migration) , ate wonderful food and met many wonderful people" Read full review: 51 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"Overall I would not recommend Wilderness Camp nor would I visit again" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"Absolutely loved the whole trip. It was quite surreal. To be among so many animals as if it were the most natural thing in the world is quite mind-blowing.

Now when I watch programmes on African animals I understand them so much more.

Tanzania is a beautiful place with beautiful people. I highly recommend people to go there and experience it for themselves.

I would love to go back." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Once in a lifetime experience" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"As noted in our comments on Kicheche, the bulk of this trip was something of a throwback to times past for us.

This was not only for the fact that we spent time focused on the Mara megafauna but also because in Nairobi we indulged in the 'mainstream' safari-related activities of visiting the elephant orphanage and the giraffe centre.

It was all highly enjoyable and a reminder of many of the things which make Kenya a very special country in which to go on safari." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari

"Returning to Kenya where we worked and met 30+ years ago was always going to be emotional. Taking our grown up family (3 children, a son and daughter in law) to share the experience with us was something we had always hoped to do. They all loved every minute of the trip and now understand why we have always been so passionate about Africa, and Kenya in particular. Yes of course it has changed, particularly around Nairobi, but there is much that is the same - the people are friendly, helpful and all loved our story, there is a sense of optimism and they have done so well to ban plastic bags - hopefully the bottles will be replaced too one day! We were worried we would be disappointed but we have had the holiday of a lifetime. It is a pity Kenya's tourism industry is not more buoyant as the country has so much to offer. Safety is an issue but we took the advice given to us about where we could safely walk (particularly at Tiwi Beach ) and we never felt in any sort of danger. It is also pretty essential to have a local guide with you, eg for climbing Mt Longonot, and as we cycled through Hell's Gate Freddy was never far behind us!
Thank you Richard for spending so much time talking to me and understanding what we wanted to do - I know we don't fit the usual holiday requirements of most people but it was worth every minute of the detailed planning and finding the right accommodation!"
