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!

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

Best Experience Ever Saurabh and Fair Trade Safari's made our 10 year anniversary trip incredibly memorable. Every attention was paid to details to make sure our trip went according to plan including getting an anniversary cake made for us in the dinner tent out in the middle of the central Serengeti. Our trip started climbing Kilimanjaro. The group that took us up included a guide that was one of the top guides in Tanzania. Then, we went to Zanzibar for a little relaxation and to visit an orphanage (which is part of the ethos of the company to try to give back). The last leg of the trip was a private set of game drives in the Serengeti. The accommodations were perfect and gave us exactly what we were looking for...and yes, we saw the big 5! We highly recommend Fair Trade Safari's and thank them again for making this trip an absolutely memorable one.

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

Saurabh was awesome Saurabh was awesome — he understood our needs and time and set up the perfect trip for our budget. He’s super responsive, promptly replying to any request — I wonder if he even sleeps. He set us up with the best guide, that made our trip even more memorable. Finally, we had some issues with the balloon ride in the Serengeti and he got us half our money back! Overall great experience and I’ve been sharing my pics and his contact with everyone.
