Fair Trade Safaris is the best experience I have ever had traveling. Everything was handled down to the smallest details. I was traveling with my grandson and a little apprehensive since it was his first time out of the country. What a FABULOUS experience we had! Everything went so smoothly and exceeded our expectations. Anyone who wishes to travel to South Africa would be well taken care of by Fair Trade Safaris! In a review it is hard to convey what a first class organization they are and how much they care about you and your family. Thank you Rob from the very bottom of my heart! Sandy

I just want to thank Saurabh and Fair Trades Safaris for putting together such a great trip. Everything went off without a miss from people meeting us as we got off the planes, taking us through customs, baggage collection to transportation to our destinations. Everyone was so nice where ever we went and all of the sites that Saurabh recommended were first class from Rovos Rail to Cape Town, Ngala Safari Lodge, Zambezi Queen and the Victoria Falls Hotel. Thanks again Saurabh for all your hard work and planning our trip of a lifetime.

This was my first experience with Fair Trade Safaris and I am pleased to say that from beginning to end it has exceeded my expectations! Saurabh guided us through the planning and every aspect of the trip was first class. I can honestly say that this was the best vacation of my life! Enjoyed Rovos Rail, Ngala Safari lodge, Zambezi Queen and Victoria Falls Hotel and all the experiences in between immensely! I whole heartedly would recommend Fair Trade Safaris to anyone planning a trip to Africa. Great Job Saurabh!

Thank you Saurabh and Fair Trades for putting together a wonderful trip for us. From the time we landed till the time we departed there was always someone to greet us or guide us . The accommodation were top of the line and we would highly recommended Fair Trades tours to anyone. Thank you again for a great trip.

Thanks to Fair Trade Safaris for one of our most memorable trips ever!!!! A special thanks to Saurabh for his help and expertise in planning a perfect itinerary for our time in Africa. All of our accommodations were top notch, with staff that were so very attentive. On safari we had the very best guide and tracker, who were able to locate and show us all of the "Big Five"!!!! Our guide in Cape Town was excellent and so very knowledgeable. We had a great time enjoying the beautiful sights of Cape Town. Then on to Victoria Falls where we enjoyed a relaxing stay at the beautifully appointed Victoria Falls Safari Lodge. We just can't say enough about Fair Trade Safaris and their ability to put together a perfect itinerary at a fair price!!! Every detail was taken care of, along with all information we needed before and during our stay in Africa.... Thanks again, Saurabh and Fair Trade Safaris!

I was just about to book with another company when I was introduced to Fair Trade Safaris. From the opening conversation, they were heads and shoulders above any of the rest. The setting up was easy and the trip itself was nothing short of amazing. Airport pickup, fantastic stays, top notch guides (thanks for catching the signs of AMS early) and the food on the mountain...wow. We wanted for nothing. They even sent a Sherpa up the mountain to bring me a birthday cake!! So unexpected and Thank you. The safari was super cool as well. Saw 4 of the Big 5 and 7 of the big 9. From arrival to departure, there was no wondering if things had been planned out. It was seamless. I would recommend them without a doubt. I got WAY more than I paid for in my opinion. Dan A.

I can’t say enough about the amazing trip of a lifetime that Saurabh and the team at Fair Trade Safaris put together for us. When my friends and I started seriously planning our trip to Tanzania earlier this year, we knew we were going to need the assistance and advice of someone with extensive knowledge and experience in planning the type of trip we wanted. Luckily, I happened to have friends who used Fair Trade Safaris to plan their trip, and they highly recommended Saurabh and his team at FTS. We spent several months working with Saurabh to plan the perfect itinerary within our budget. We had a vague outline of a trip in mind – climb Kilimanjaro, go on a safari, and then head to a beach in Zanzibar for some rest and relaxation. Saurabh was able to take our outline and turn it into a detailed day-by-day itinerary. He was patient with us and spent a lot of time answering all our questions and dealing with the various modifications we kept requesting to the itinerary. This was also a trip that required a lot of logistics, and Saurabh made sure nothing fell through the cracks and that we were always well taken care of. Once we arrived in Tanzania, Saurabh checked in with us frequently to make sure everything was going smoothly. We were thrilled with the team of guides and porters Saurabh arranged for the Kilimanjaro climb. We were lucky to all reach the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and I have no doubt that it was in large part due to the team and especially the guides we had with us on the mountain. After the climb, Saurabh arranged a private safari for us and once again, we had a great guide who was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and very focused on what we wanted to see. Saurabh booked us in various camps and lodges in the Tanganyika Wilderness Camps portfolio– my favorites happened to be the tented camps (Mara Under Canvas and Serengeti Kati Kati). There was just something magical about being in these camps, surrounded by wilderness and wildlife, and disconnected from our phones and computers. We were extremely lucky with wildlife sightings on safari as well! Our trip ended in Zanzibar and Saurabh’s recommendation for a beach resort (Ras Nungwi) was the perfect place to spend time relaxing. The views were wonderful, the rooms spacious and comfortable, and the staff was amazing and attentive. We had a fantastic time on our trip, and I can’t imagine what would have made it better. I highly recommend working with Saurabh and FTS!

This was our first trip to Africa and we were not sure what to expect but thanks to Fair Trade Safaris it was the most memorable trip. We not only visited NgoroNgoro conservation area and Serengeti national park and saw all the great wildlife but carried with us memories which will last us a lifetime. The lodges and tents that we stayed were very nice and comfortable and they could be destinations by themselves. The guide was very knowledgeable about the birds, animals and plants and went out of the way to make sure that we got all the opportunities possible to watch the animals. The sight and sound of the Serengeti are unparalleled in the world and the trip organized by Fair Trade Safaris was able to do this for a very reasonable price and not only do I wholeheartedly recommend them to any one thinking of visiting Tanzania, I will likely be doing this all over again in not too distant a future. Thank you Sourabh for organizing this amazing trip.
