Siena Trips & Tours

My fiance and I reached out to Timbuktu to start getting an idea of how to get started planning out honeymoon in Africa. Immediately Joanna reached out and dove right in and answered all of our questions and was extremely patient with us while we were sorting through our timeline. The second we got on the call with Joanna, we felt at ease and everything started feeling real and extremely exciting. We went from being completely clueless about what we were getting into, to having so much more clarity and information. We've been nonstop recommending Timbuktu to all of our friends that are looking to travel because we've enjoyed our experience so much and the planning process has been so easy and informative.

This was my very first time using a travel agent, and to be honest, I was initially so nervous about handing over total control of our trip to someone else. Timbuktu completely blew us away. I will definitely be using them again! Kristin was incredibly patient with us throughout the entire process. She helped plan our honeymoon with immense attention to detail, crafting it exactly how we wanted. She answered all of our questions with incredible care, always focusing on what was most important to us as a couple. Where Timbuktu really shines is execution. They facilitated all of our travel while we were in Africa, from transfers to bookings, and everything ran like clockwork. Traveling between destinations can be stressful, but our experience was entirely seamless. If you are hesitant about trusting someone else with your dream trip, rest assured you are in the best hands with Timbuktu. They took all the stress out of our honeymoon and left us with nothing but incredible memories. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Kristin Jessup and her team at Timbuktu Travel did not disappoint! The vacation they put together for us, in Tanzania and Rwanda, was amazing. The itinerary was adventurous and exactly what we wanted in an African adventure. Kristin took our dreams and transformed them into a reality. I highly recommend Timbuktu Travel and will use them anytime I am seeking a hassle free vacation filled with fun and adventure!

Had another amazing adventure with Timbuktu. From Gorilla trekking to searching for the big five to relaxing on the beach I was secure in knowing Timbuktu had planned a seamless trip. Can’t wait to plan my next adventure.

As I mentioned- everything was great. Super easy to work with Meg. the dashboard was pretty straightforward and informative. It was so wonderful being taken care of at every location- having someone meet us at the airport and show us all of the best things in each place. the tours were well thought out and well curated. I liked having tour guides that seemed to have secret handshakes to get us into super crowded lunch spots with our own reserved table- my husband felt like he was in the Godfather. :-)
