Kenyan Safari We were a party of 10 and Fair Trade Safaris (FTS) coordinated a video call before we left to ensure we knew what to expect and what to bring. From the airport transfers, hotels and guides themselves we could not have asked for a better experience. Our guides especially were tireless, committed to showing us the best experience possible, and educating us on the history, animals, people and the land itself. I highly recommend FTS.

Fair Trade Safaris did a great job We travel often and like to plan our own trips, but when trying to figure out where to begin with an African safari, we knew we would need expert advice. We were drawn to Fair Trade Safaris based on their commitment to African animal conservation and to the local communities. We chose Tanzania in order to see the Great Migration in June and July. Our family of four (two teenagers) first visited Tarangire National Park, a gem with beautiful baobab trees and animals left and right. Elephants were especially prolific. Next was the Ngorongoro Crater which is an absolute necessity in any Tanzanian itinerary. The landscape was stunning and the animals were mesmerizing. The Ngorongoro Farm House was among our favorite stays with delicious food and inviting accommodations. We then visited Serengeti National Park and stayed in the Kati Kati tented camp which was so authentic and the people were so nice and engaging. The food was tasty and we enjoyed “glamping” with giraffes and zebras right outside our tents. Finally, we visited western Serengeti and saw the Great Migration. It was so moving and unbelievable, there were even some tears shed! It’s exactly as you see it on National Geographic. Josephat, our fabulous guide, was several notches above other guides. He spotted animals in trees far away that we couldn’t see without binoculars. He even had to show other tour guides where animals were hiding on many occasions. One day he talked with other tour guides that were searching for a group of cheetahs seen earlier in the day by other guides. He used his knowledge of their behavior and searched in a few remote spots and found the group of five cheetahs. We met other tourists at the hotel that night that asked if we ever found the cheetahs and we replied in the affirmative. They were disappointed because their tour guide never found them. Thank you to Dianah and Saurabh for helping us with our itinerary and logistics. We had a wonderful time and hope to visit Africa again. Sincerely, Eric, Gwen, Jenna and Caroline Peterson

Thank you Fair Trade for an amazing adventure! Fair Trade Safaris put together another memorable safari experience for me, my husband, and our friends. We love the national parks we visited in Uganda and Tanzania. Seeing wildlife roam freely always makes my heart feel full. It is such an awe inspiring experience viewing such beauty in our world. The Fair Trade team made sure our travels went smoothly. We were greated in Kigali, Rwanda, and Arusha, Tanzania, by our drivers who took such good care of us. Our personal requests were always granted. I personally appreciated our drivers knowledge of the bird species that caught my eye during our travels. I would highly recommend Fair Trade Safaris. They have lived and worked in many of the countries they include in their safaris. They take great care in fostering a commitment to conservation. They seek to empower the local communities by including cultural experiences in the itinerary. Thank you Saurabh, Diana, and team, for taking such good care of us! Stephanie Seay

Superb safari & tour! The team did a fantastic job in customizing our trip to Africa. We threw them lots of curveballs, and they kept coming up with answers. The safari lodge was superb, the hotels in Jo-burg, Vic Falls, CPT were beautiful, the transfers flawless...We had a truly memorable vacation. Can't wait to return to Africa on another trip planned by Fair Trade Safaris!

Africa was amazing with Fair Trade’s help We had the most amazing experience on our African safari with Fair Trade Safaris. It was truly life-changing. We’re so thankful that all of the private transportation and boutique accommodations, it was all better than expected. Everything was set up so nicely and all of our drivers and the hospitality staff were so nice. The food was amazing everywhere we went. We would never have a guessed to stay at some of those places. We really enjoyed being able to see the sights in Johannesburg before heading out to the game reserve. The culture was amazing, the animals were amazing, and the scenery was breathtaking. Seeing the Big 5 five and the Little 5 and the Ugly 5 were truly a treat. It was amazing to see all of those animals in their own environment without cages and just living off the land and each other. I would definitely recommend going to see Victoria Falls if you have a chance. Can’t wait to go back!
