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

Kilimanjaro & Safari - Top Notch I was just about to book with another company when I was introduced to Fair Trade Safaris. From the opening conversation, they were heads and shoulders above any of the rest. The setting up was easy and the trip itself was nothing short of amazing. Airport pickup, fantastic stays, top notch guides (thanks for catching the signs of AMS early) and the food on the mountain...wow. We wanted for nothing. They even sent a Sherpa up the mountain to bring me a birthday cake!! So unexpected and Thank you. The safari was super cool as well. Saw 4 of the Big 5 and 7 of the big 9. From arrival to departure, there was no wondering if things had been planned out. It was seamless. I would recommend them without a doubt. I got WAY more than I paid for in my opinion. Dan A.

Fair Trade Safaris Having been to Africa on more than one occasion and I can tell without any reservations that Fair Trade Safari has been above and beyond on all my expectations. Everything was well thought of and organized . The best part is the philanthropic aspect of the trip. From the moment you arrived in Africa to the moment you leave, you will had constant communication with Fair Trade Safari and feel at ease at all time. Saurabh you are the best! Thank you

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!

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.
