The Safari Partners

I traveled to Tanzania & Kenya last year and booked with The Safari Partners. The fact that Chris, the owner of The Safari Partners, has traveled extensively within Africa and has first-​hand knowledge of the places he recommends is very reassuring for a first-​time traveler to Africa. Considering that a trip to Africa can be one of the more expensive travel destinations, dealing with a travel agency that deals exclusively with African travel is really the only way to go. Chris was there through the whole process to assist & answer any questions — he really goes above and beyond to make sure that your trip is a truly memorable experience. With a very tight schedule, including several flight and land transfers plus a guided ascent of Kilimanjaro packed into my 17 day trip, everything went off without a hitch. All of the lodges we stayed in were first-​rate, from accommodations, to service, to food. The highlight has to be staying in a luxury eco-​camp on the Mara Naboisho Conservancy in Kenya being guided on safaris by members of a local Maasai tribe. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone considering travel to Africa to book with The Safari Partners. I also really like that they donate 1% of sales to charities operating within Africa. When (not if) I book my next trip to Africa I will be giving Chris a call!

Fantastic end-​to-​end trip providers! Chris at the head office is always responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly. The country staff are wonderful as well. We went to Rwanda this past January for a gorilla trek and the trip was seamless from the second we landed in Kigali to the time we took off again for Nairobi.
Our guide during the trip was great and took care of all of our needs — even going above and beyond and taking us out on the town one night! The land cruiser that you tour in is super comfortable and the hotels and lodges (although not the Ritz Carlton) are clean and comfortable. I’d recommend the Safari Partners to anyone. Overall great value for your money!
