Timbuktu listened to my physical limitations and arranged our trip around them. They also paid attention to our request for smaller group size, more informal lodges.

Timbuktu is my go-to agency for all things safari and I recommend them without hesitation. The level of personalised service and attention to detail, coupled with their deep knowledge of Africa's best safari destinations, are a winning formula that make book each trip with them.
