Good planning, responsive to all emails during the planning process, nice value, though Africa is still crazy expensive, would use them again for sure. Best part of the trip were the animals and Ilkeliani Tent Camp

Katie Fahrland from Timbuktu provided a great service for us, tailoring a personal itinerary on a fairly tight budget. We met lots of lovely people and stayed in a range of memorable accommodations on our safari trip toKenya, from modern 4* hotels to cosy lake-side lodges overlooking the wildlife. Would definitely recommend Timbuktu for those who do not know where to start when planning a trip.

Timbuktu customer service was superb and Katie an absolute pleasure to deal with from our first enquiry and throughout the decision and booking process.

I wanna do this again! I will use Timbuku travel service as it has make my trip so relaxing and worry free! Katie was so helpful and went the second mile with communication. All the lodges new what was happening and they told us what to do so we didnt even have to keep track of what day it was. We just floated!

I went on a 10 days trip to Namibia and it was awesome. I cannot thank enough Tessa for arranging such an amazing tour. The trip to Namibia was perfect for me.

Timbuktu helped us arrange our honeymoon in Uganda and Kenya, and we had an amazing experience! From planning to execution, the trip exceeded our expectations: Joanna at Timbuktu was thoughtful, accessible, and proactive in planning the trip; Timbuktu's partners on the ground were welcoming, prompt, flexible, and wanted to ensure we had an incredible experience; and logistics were pretty seamless, considering pandemic-related obstacles. We can't recommend Joanna and the rest of the Timbuktu team enough!

Katie was very enthusiastic and responsive to my request to potentially add another couple to our package. She quickly researched lodging availability and made herself available on a conference call with us and the other couple to answer questions. Once they agreed to proceed she promptly secured the reservation for them. Can’t wait to go on safari next year!!!

Catherine has been wonderful to work with. She responds to emails in a timely manner and always gives very thorough explanations and updates. She has a vast knowledge and network to help her clients plan the perfect trip. My husband and I can't wait for our very special trip to South Africa!

I loved my experience with Timbuktu. Katie made everything so easy, despite covid throwing a wrench in everything and postponing my trip by one year. I never had to worry about a thing, our guide Charles took excellent care of my daughter and I the whole trip, from the moment we landed to the moment we took off again. As a woman traveling alone with a young child, I felt very safe thanks to Timbuktu and the care they took in putting together the perfect trip for us. It was an experience I will never forget. Trip of a lifetime.

My husband and I were dreaming about an adventurous and romantic honeymoon to Africa. We relied on Timbuktu and it was the best choice ever. Our travel expert Catherine followed us in every step advising us about the best places and experiences. It was just amazing, a realX unconventional trip to Zambia! Now that we are back we will remember forever those emotions, everything was perfect and overcome our expectations! So thank you Timbuktu
