GBSaurabh 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.

GBKenyan 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.

GBOur trip with Fair Trade Safaris was magical… Our trip with Fair Trade Safaris was life changing! Saurabh and the entire FTS team made sure that we had a complete itinerary all set before our trip and also helped us with our flights. We had little anxiety about our trip because we had so much faith in their team about how everything was going to be handled and they did not disappoint. We really liked how they set us up with going to Johannesburg first and then went on to see Victoria Falls, and Botswana and then on to Krueger to the private game reserve. The hospitality was the best part from everyone we had helping us. The boutique hotels and lodges that they set us up at were amazing and we would have never known to go to those. So thankful and can't wait to go back!

GBFair 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

GBA+ Rating From planning to actual trip, this was one of the smoothest experience of my life! Kudos to Saurabh Khetrapal, he delivered big time. All his advice was on point and tailored it to perfection for my family needs. Josephat our safari guide is a genius! No words to describe his abilities in understanding what the animals will do. Stay and vegetarian Food at all the places rocked. Spectacular experience with spectacular service. Keep up the great work. Beautiful Tanzania needs more people like you to get tourists like me to experience it.
