This is the second trip I have taken with Timbuktu. I love booking with them! They take care of everything and make sure everything comes together without a hitch. That's really important to me as a woman traveling solo! They have made my trips to Kenya and India absolutely epic and go the extra mile to make it a safe and fun experience.

11 nights in Zambia

Timbuktu was the 3rd safari travel company I consulted when planning my trip to Zambia. The first two companies were rejected because it seemed they paid no attention to my criteria. All I asked for was: no crowds, no children, and remote camping/lodging. Timbuktu “got it” immediately and offered options.

14 nights in Tanzania and Kenya

Generally excellent. We very much enjoyed each of the 5 facilities we visited, even the order they came in. We were shepherded from place to place expertly, with the staff of each facility aware of what was needed too get us to the next connection. We had a absolutely wonderful trip. Thanks. Only issue was with the new Kenya eTA system and our ability to enter Kenya twice.

Jonty was so helpful putting together several itineraries, landing us the most perfect trip from start to finish. This is my second time using Timbuktu and will certainly not be my last! Every little detail was greatly appreciated and made a trip of a lifetime for us!

Charlotte has been such a great travel agent. She's knowledgeable, kind, and always responds quickly to questions. She's made the booking process easy.

Not only did they listen to who we were and what we wanted, and create modifications to suit, but when life gave us an unexpected bump and changes were needed, they worked with us to find solutions. Highly recommended.
