Wendy was amazing from start to finish of our safari trip—everything organized seamlessly from stepping on the plane to getting back home to Melbourne. When airports closed unexpectedly, she worked magic securing tickets to get us back to Australia safely. Both Kenya lodges were incredible; we'd return in a heartbeat! Highly recommend.Posted on Google Paul MirabelleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have assigned 5 stars as there is no provision for 6; you can see where this review is going. Wendy as the founder of Africa Safari Experts blew the doors off this one and improved even more on previous African trips she has coordinated for us. There is a reason we only use her! The trip was first rate on all accounts and included a Masai Mara safari in Kenya, trekking in Rwanda to see the mountain gorillas and some follow up R&R in Morocco. Wendy is across the details to an extent rarely seen these days: the accommodations, the guides, the transfers, the constant refinements to make sure it all went smoothly are just some of the features. How she arranged for the zebras to be munching the grass outside our tented camp or for the lightening to light up the evening sky as we followed a pride of lions is beyond me - she has real pull somewhere. (I was a little disappointed the silverback didn't charge at us at least once, so there is room for improvement.) You can tell she's lived in Africa and has been immersed in safari adventures; Wendy is no armchair pilot.In short we were brought inside a series of very special experiences by virtue of her deep knowledge of travel in Africa... ...and isn't this what you want in a trip like this? We left Africa with a real sense of being privileged to see all we had seen and to meet the crews and fellow travellers we did. This doesn't happen by accident and it takes real skill to organise a trip like this. [As a side note, we were due to fly back to Australia via Dubai when the war broke out; Wendy worked tirelessly over that weekend -before we had even asked her - to ensure we had safe alternative flights arranged that bypassed the Middle East. I was so relieved we had her on our side here!] Wendy made this all happen for us and we have zero hesitation in recommending her to other discerning travellers - be it your first trip to Africa or your 10th.Posted on Google Fiona CorbettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can’t thank Wendy at Africa Safari Experts enough for curating our ‘Out of Africa’ experience. There was not one hiccup. It is hard to put into words how much our African adventure has touched us. Rwanda and Kenya have a spirit that is intangible, yet so powerful. It is impossible to single out a trip highlight except that to have both our girls and their partners with us enhanced every moment, truly unforgettable. We could not fault any of the staff, their attention to detail and service was exceptional they really would do anything to make our trip perfect. The ‘meet and greet’ at every port was the icing on the cake that created a seamless travel experience and we were so grateful that they were there. Singita in Rwanda was outstanding and such a contrast to what we were doing during the day, trekking through the jungle in search of our gorilla troop. Our encounters with the gorillas were incredible. So strong and majestic yet gentle and so beautiful, we could not believe how close we were. So many friends have asked if we were afraid whilst on safari or trekking, but our amazing guides made us feel safe at all times. Singita sits at 10,000 feet, so the air is thin and also very chilly in the mornings and at night. Our Kenyan safari adventures were so different and to see our leopard, cheetahs and baby rhino were all ‘pinch yourself’ moments. Plus floating over the Maasai Mara at dawn in hot air balloons, giving us such a different perspective of such a vast landscape. Tambarare camp in Kenya was wonderful, Eunice and her staff were great but Mara Expedition Camp in the Masai was exceptional. It ticked all the boxes. The gorgeous colonial styling and wonderful staff who kept surprising us with lavish picnic breakfasts and dinners under the stars. The name of our ‘person’ at Mara was Happy and that has become our catchphrase for our trip. Happy, happy, happy. I was so overwhelmed when we left Mara that I shed a tear, so sad that the trip was over but also leaving these beautiful people and all the animals behind. Now we have cherished memories.Posted on Google KimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t be happier with the travel arrangements and recommendations Wendy made for our trip to Zambia and Rwanda. She really listened and understood the type of experience we were looking for and delivered beyond our expectations. Every camp and hotel was excellent and the staff, trackers and guides were all extremely knowledgeable and experienced. The abundance of wildlife was far greater than anything we expected. I strongly encourage anyone considering a safari experience to use a professional guide. If we had done a self drive we wouldn’t have seen half of the wildlife we saw; in addition their knowledge of the area and the wildlife made it so much more enjoyable.Posted on Google Nick MillisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with Wendy from Africa Safari Experts as referred to me by my trusted travel advisor Main Beach Travel. Whilst I knew the end goal was an African Safari for my family of 3pax - I had no understanding what to do next as it became clear there are more than 54 countries in Africa – where do I start, based on our time of the year when we wanted to travel, the logistics to get there and how to travel from country to country, vaccinations, safety - the list of hurdles was becoming long & overwhelming! It is here within our first initial meeting with Wendy via Zoom - we knew Africa Safari Experts is a true destination expert! Rather than jumping to a standard itinerary to "sell us" or feeling pushed to confirm a “off-the-shelf” itinerary - Wendy spent the time understanding my family, what we enjoyed, how active we like being, where we have travelled in the past – with equal importance placed on my son and his likes/ dislikes – it hindsight it was clear at this early stage Wendy was already curating a bespoke & perfectly tailored destination experience for all 3 of us – with each of our likes/ dislikes to be incorporated into our 3 week experience. From that moment a visually spectacular destination proposal was presented with all the details were looking for, we worked together to make a few tweaks before locking everything in approx. 10months prior to travel. At this point we felt that we may only hear back from Wendy with our travel documentation & a “Safe Travels” email prior to travel. To our absolute delight & appreciation – Wendy remained with us throughout the year regularly checking in to provide updates, make recommendations on restaurants & experiences in Cape Town, provide suggestions for optional tours in Victoria Falls for my son, and discuss the logistics of travelling to/from each safari lodge location in Kenya. From the initial engagement – budget was always taken into consideration, highly respected and never changed. As a travel specialist who has actually lived in the destination – Wendy provided us with comfort and reassurance with luggage, vaccinations, safety concerns, tipping and local knowledge – without this information we would have had a completely different experience. Wendy curated a 3-week bucket-list experience – with some of the best lodges, experiences and personalised guides – she took us off the beaten track and designed an itinerary that will be remembered for a lifetime. Partnering with Wendy & African Safari’s is like working with an architect to design your dream home – starting with a blank sheet of paper and working together to create something very special! For the record – Wendy took us from Sydney to Kenya with 2 x completely different safaris for 3 nights each – then down to Victoria Falls before ending in one of the best cities of the work – Cape Town – spectacular! Advance warning - you may think Africa will be a once off destination – I can guarantee you will be back for more. We are on working with Wendy on our next itinerary - Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda or Uganda or maybe Botswana – Okavango Delta Safari… It's simple – you can’t travel to Africa without working with Wendy from Africa Safari Expert!Posted on Google Jon MarksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wendy curated a magnificent trip of a lifetime for us, visiting Victoria Falls - both from within Zimbabwe and Zambia; trekking in to see the gorillas in Rwanda; a fantastic journey through Tanzania, visiting 4 different National Parks - Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The accommodation everywhere we went was 1st class with comfortable rooms and more food than we could eat, and our drivers and guides were knowledgeable and beautiful people. We would thoroughly recommend Wendy if you are considering a visit to Africa. She will guide you through the decisions on where to go and what to expect along with all the other details you will need to know.Posted on Google Sue ColemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredibly grateful that we found Wendy! Her knowledge and experience is amazing and she really took the time to suggest options and create a holiday that suited our interests - 4 weeks in Zambia and Tanzania. Her insights turned out to be spot-on and it was also reassuring to have her support while we were travelling when an airline made late flight changes. We'll definitely be using ASE for our next adventure in Africa.Posted on Google Robyn PulmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wendy 'knows' Africa. She has lived and worked there. Her guidance is based on first-hand knowledge and experience. Planning a first time trip to Africa is potentially overwhelming. Where? How long? How to get from A to B. Wendy listened and guided us to Zambia and created a balanced program that ran like clock work. Every plane, every transfer, every meet'n'greet was flawless. Expect to absorb a LOT of information and then take a leap of faith into the most magical destination on earth. We would definitely utilise Wendy's services again if we were to return to Africa.Posted on Google Shakira TabriziTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. great experience and well worth the money - service from the day we showed interest to checking in while on holidays and then calling when we returned home. Wendy was full of knowledge about Africa and where to go.Posted on Google Martin CroninTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such an amazing trip to the Masai Mara with Pangolin. Wendy did an incredible job coordinating travel, lodging, etc. and it was so smooth. She was extremely helpful leading up to the trip with reminders and suggestions. It ended up being an stress-free vacation of a lifetime!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
