North Lombok Trips & Tours

Joanna was great

A trip of a lifetime to see Eastern Africa.! Every aspect of the trip was exceptional. Timbuktu coordinated everything. We were treated like royalty. The accommodations and the staff at every lodge were top notch. Gorilla treking was nothing short of magical. Safari on the Mara and in the crater were amazing. Hundreds of thousands of animals within feet of our vehicle. 14 rhinos, over 40 lions, two leopards, two cheetahs, countless elephants and giraffes. Thanks to Joanna and the entire Timbuktu for delivering the experience of a lifetime!

This was a trip of a life time. Everything fell into place great. I will use this company again.

The bottom line is that Timbuktu planned a fabulous trip for us (two first-time travelers to Africa). Things ran very smoothly during our three weeks in Africa, and we enjoyed every stop and accommodation along the way. Our travel agent took the time to speak with us about what we wanted, and her recommendations were detailed and tailored to what we had discussed. She was also clearly knowledgeable about travel to Africa. We initially came to her with one idea for our trip, but she kindly helped us see that it might be a logistical challenge, and she helped us craft an alternative itinerary that met all our goals and desires. The only qualm we had was with some of the communication during the planning process - our agent was lovely, and very helpful, but occasionally failed to respond to us by the deadlines she gave, and did not let us know what was going on when that happened. To be clear, these issues didn't end up impacting our trip, but it did create some concerns (although minor) before we left. Ultimately, though, it was the trip of a lifetime, and we're very grateful for all the planning help we received! We would recommend Timbuktu to others looking to travel to Africa.

We had an incredible experience working with Jenna at Timbuktu to help plan our 10 day trip through Namibia! Jenna was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. We were a little late to planning during Namibia's peak season, but Jenna was able to secure us great properties as we waited through waitlists. Everything on the trip went seamless from airport transfers to picking up our 4x4 rental car. We would absolutely recommend Jenna and Timbuktu to anyone looking to plan a trip through Namibia. We can't wait to go back to Africa soon!
