Testimonials

I learned of Worthwhile Safaris via Travel and Leisure as I started doing my research on possible Safari companies. From the beginning Worthwhile Safaris team was very easy to work with and most of all VERY patient! Creating a trip for 5 ladies can be overwhelming and they listen, adjusted, returned, cancelled, recommended, adjusted again and again….. From the beginning Dan and Simon really helped us create a bespoke Safari, trip of my… Read more “Viviana Buxeda”

Guides were excellent (well-informed & fun to be around), activities were engaging and “as-described,” and all personnel were helpful and attentive. The trip ran very smoothly, and the information provided before we left the US by Worthwhile Safaris personnel was helpful and complete. Overall, a wonderful trip! Our Travel Designer was very accommodating and excellent at listening to what we wanted. Executed our vision… Read more “Harrison Morris”

I absolutely loved my trip!! Everything went along perfectly. I actually had a group of people traveling together ask me if I made my own arrangements. I laughed and said no way that I had a safari company that has arranged five safaris for me. One of them said that I must like my safari company and I said that I trust them from the time I get off the plane to the when we are dropped back at the… Read more “Jasper Sherry”

I have no words for the quality of everything related to this trip. Beautiful lodges with excellent activities and locations. One of my best trips of my life has been with Worthwhile Safaris. We will definitely do another one… Read more “James Fredrick”

Worthwhile Safaris had people with us every step of the way. This was a trip of a lifetime and we got lucky to have the best tour guides arranged. I can’t thank the Worthwhile Safaris team enough for guiding us through every step of our journey. Imagine being in the bush on safari for a week with no internet connection, flying on a small plane an arriving at a new location and being greeted by a Worthwhile Safaris rep. We will be booking all further trips with them We lucked out or were so very well taken care of. Almost every guide arranged for us was the premiere guide in the area. We learned this by listening to other guides checking in for directions from our… Read more “Robert Scaglion”

Our trip was amazing, and it truly exceeded our expectations. When we left for Africa, I figured it was a once in a lifetime experience. Now we are already thinking about when we will be able to return. I wanted to express our appreciation for the fantastic planning and attention to detail, in addition to the various ‘surprises’ you planted along the way. They were delightful. Again, thanks very much. I just can’t tell you how great it was. Best trip of our lives, and we’ve been on a lot of fantastic… Read more “Robert Pedowitz”

You guys exceeded my expectations. The trip was a once in a lifetime experience that I’ll treasure for the rest of my life. Thank… Read more “Richard Scarlett”

We had such a wonderful time on our trip! Many thanks to you all for organising and planning so perfectly. Everything ran so smoothly, and I was particularly impressed by the way we did not have to think about any of the arrangements – it was all done for us! Everybody, from guides to hotel/safari camp staff was so very organized and friendly! The only time we were a little bit intimidated was at a few of the airports/border crossings – so it was really wonderful to have guides to help us through. A really nice touch was the assistance at Nairobi where the guides were waiting for us as we got off the… Read more “Peta-Ann”

It was the most exciting, scenic, inspiring trip we’ve ever taken. To say it was a trip of a lifetime doesn’t begin to capture our experience.  Worthwhile Safaris team did an outstanding job of helping us plan this trip. Dan really listened to our concerns and opinions and was so helpful as we sorted out what sort of experience we were seeking. She had endless patience for our constant emails and frequent phone calls. The whole team was remarkable for their prompt and friendly responses. Then the execution of the plan was flawless! Not a hitch anywhere along the way! It far, far exceeded anything we had imagined before leaving. I’m sure the use of superlatives is overkill, but I don’t know how else to express it! What an incredible experience for our family! Worthwhile Safaris is an outstanding… Read more “Mary & Rob Johannigman (and family)”

Every aspect of my trip went according to plan and the plan Worthwhile Safaris’ helped me to track Gorillas was magnificent! I loved every lodge that I was blessed to be in! They were all very different yet all high end and very accommodating. From the location of the lodges to the rooms to the food to the incredible staff, every aspect was excellent. Kellen has an excellent team, they strive to get it right and make their clients trip an amazing experience. They listen to the desires of their clients and mold just the right package for them. I was extremely impressed at all the hand holding and organization that goes on behind the scenes. The package of information (detailed booklet) that arrived before I left was my bible while I was traveling in a foreign country on a solo journey. Dan, Simon and their team covered every detail,… Read more “Anne Fox”

Simon and Dan were extraordinary at crafting THE PERFECT safari for our family of 8. They both listened (actually ‘read’ my email) to EXACTLY what we wanted, within the budget that we needed, and miraculously pulled off miracles in obtaining the properties that we wanted! When working with them, I felt that I was the ONLY customer that they had! They answered emails quickly and with CHARM and HUMOR! As a matter of fact, I loved working with them so much, that I have tentatively scheduled a trip out to Uganda in order to meet them… Read more “Kim Mather”

Trip was PERFECT!! Every single detail was planned out and the accommodations and people were wonderful. This trip exceeded all of our wildest expectations. Every place we stayed was just lovely and each camp had a different vibe, which was really neat. Everyone we worked with was outstanding. Thank you for creating the most perfect itinerary for our family holiday. The memories we made and the experiences we shared will last a lifetime and we could not be more… Read more “Scarlett Jamie”

My trip was beyond AMAZING! I truly enjoyed every moment. The itinerary allowed me to experience a variety of different activities all of which I enjoyed! When I originally thought of going to Africa I was just thinking of safaris. This trip opened my eyes (and my family /friend’s) to so much more Africa has to offer. I cannot THANK everyone enough who made this trip so INCREDIBLE! I will be talking about it for a long long time! I will be highly recommending your company to family and… Read more “Smith Jackie”

Choosing a safari expert is never easy given the choice and lists upon lists of “top suppliers”….but we made the BEST choice for us….why….because above all, Worthwhile Safaris listened ….really listened to what we wanted to experience. This was a trip for four great friends gathering in Tanzania from all over the world and we loved every minute….although we probably tried to do too much and didn’t build in enough “relaxing” time. The team at Worthwhile Safaris along with the on-the-ground support in Africa made sure that they were in constant contact with us. The camps and guides were superb; the guidance they gave was “spot on” and their responsiveness beyond our expectations. If you are looking for a custom adventure, look no further than Worthwhile Safaris….you will not be… Read more “Dawn Jacobs”

It was a well-organized trip. It was easy to get around since we were guided through our entire itinerary. Everyone was pleasant and very helpful. This is an excellent way to travel. Worthwhile Safaris did very well and brought a fantastic African experience to us. Thank you! Comments on your travel designer: I think you all did very well especially Simon, who dealt with us knowing that we have never traveled to Africa and it’s hard to explain to newbies the Continent they will be travelling to, never mind the individual… Read more “George Kowalski”

Wow, wow, wow!! We are back in Canada now, recovering from jet lag and still in shock and awe regarding our experience. From the moment we landed in Uganda to the moment we touched down in Canada, our experience was seamless and amazing. Thank you for making our journey so memorable. We are very grateful for your professionalism and perfect execution of a rather complex itinerary and are singing your praises to all of our… Read more “Lundberg Amy”

It was the best experience of my life. I will absolutely be going back. The camps were incredible and I met some lifelong friends. The ladies I was beading with invited me to their village for the evening and my husband had to drag me back to camp or I would have stayed! Our guide was superb. I appreciate all your efforts, the trip was… Read more “Ashley & Chad Chafee”

We were thrilled with the trip. It was as good as or better than described at every turn. The prep, attention to detail, willingness to make changes and ensure we were ready and prepared was outstanding. Our Travel Designer was awesome! She understood our goals, worked with us to create an amazing trip, made changes when we had someone drop out of our group, ensured only the best experience and was fun to work with! Couldn’t have been better! We loved every minute. Thank… Read more “Betsy Robertson”

Tonight we return to the states and our presence here in Africa will be no more. However, because of you and your team; our souls will forever remain a part of this beautiful place. I don’t know how to thank all of you enough. The itinerary, the stops, the people and places we encountered along the entire journey went off like clockwork. From the minute we stepped through the health check until we were returned safely to our flight, it was seamless. They say perfection is an unattainable goal; that nothing is perfect. After what you and your team did for us, that phrase may not have the same meaning anymore because for Maribeth and I, this was perfect. Please pass along our thanks to everyone involved. My friend Greg Carr shared a saying with me when he decided to help the people. “If you can only visit two continents… Read more “Maribeth Marboe & Scott”

Worthwhile Africa Safaris is outstanding in every respect. My wife and I just completed our third bespoke African safari trip with them (Kenya), and we have two additional trips to Tanzania planned with them for 2022. Trip after trip, Worthwhile Africa Safaris manages to exceed the lofty expectations that they have already established. Their safari planner’s advice as to when and where to go, where to stay, and what to do are always spot on. Bookings are superlative, and the safari camps are amazing with fantastic accommodations, attentive staff, wonderful food, and incredible guides. Once you are in Worthwhile Safaris capable hands, the planning is enjoyable, informative, and impeccable and once you leave on your journey, everything runs like clockwork from the time that you land at your destination until the time that you fly home. We had to reschedule some of our recent trips due to the COVID-19 pandemic.… Read more “Sheroff Neil”
