Yellow Zebra Safari
Yellow Zebra Safari's made booking my first safari as easy and personal as possible! From the first time I spoke to Olivia I knew this was the tour agency I wanted to travel with. Olivia gathered my desires and made them a reality. Trip is in Sept 2024 so excited to experience the wonderful lodges Olivia put together. The whole process was seamless thus far. All pertinent information has been forthcoming in a timely and ease to follow manner.

African Trip to Celebrate Mina's Birthday
We had planned a big trip to celebrate my wife's (Mina) 60th birthday. After chatting with Georgia Hinkley, we decided to go for a South Africa Safari, in addition we were able to add a visit to Victoria falls and a visit to Mauritius. We were extremely happy dealing with Georgia. Negative comment - As our trip was fairly costly I would have appreciated if the payment of our trip could have been spread over 3 installment payments rather than the 2.
Date of experience : 14 January 2024
Hi Prakash, Thank you for booking your holiday with YZ. No doubt Georgia has planned a superb trip for you. Though apologies, as it seems you've not been told it's possible to split our two standard payments (deposit and balance) into a greater number of smaller payments. Three or even more! We just had not realized you would like to do that. Our Ops team will reach out to you to talk about splitting your balance payment into a few smaller more manageable payments. We hope that helps. The YZ team
Wonderful knowledge team
Very easy to communicate and plan our vacation. Super knowledgeable advisor - Weis - who was able to put together a fabulous holiday very quickly -and wonderful back office making the process very easy.
Dear Anne, We’re so happy to hear that Wies put together an amazing trip for you, we can’t wait to hear all about it when you are back. Safe travels! Thank you, James, Sales Director, Wies and the YZ team
Getting ready to rock n' roll!
Our daughter and son in law used Yellow Zebra to plan their honeymoon and couldn't have been more pleased from the initial laying out of the trip through the entire experience. For us, working with Catherine to put the trip together was wonderful and she addressed our questions in a very timely manner. Now that Jo in operations has been passed the baton, she too has been great to work with. We can't wait to experience the itinerary that has been put together for us!

I contacted two safari companies…
I contacted two safari companies regarding a safari to Kenya to take place in Jan 25. One of these I had used several times before (Let's call this particular company, company B). YZ Safaris replied by return and arranged for a phone call to further consult on exact requirements. These were discussed and a further phone call was arranged to finalise details. Matt Court was particularly helpful and knowledgeable in this regard. Essentially, within a couple of weeks of contacting YZ Safaris my trip was organised and the downpayment paid. (I was still waiting for company B to respond 3 or 4 weeks after the initial enquiry!). So, I was impressed by the promptness of responses to my questions and the enthusiasm of YZ Safaris in organising everything that I wanted for this safari booking. Based on what have experienced with them, so far, I would definitely use YZ again.
Date of experience : 20 February 2024
Hi Phil, Thank you for taking the time to review Yellow Zebra Safaris. We're thrilled you found Matt’s prompt responses and personalised service impressive. It's our pleasure to ensure your safari experience exceeds expectations. We hope you have an unforgettable trip in Kenya, and don’t forget to tell us about it on your return! James, Sales Director, Matt and the YZ team

Our African safari
Our African safari, including gorilla tracking was everything we hoped it would be, and more. Every aspect of our trip was smooth and seamless. Our drivers and guides were fantastic. Our accommodations, including food was excellent. Wildlife viewing was spectacular. It was definitely worth the cost as it was the trip of a life-time. Thank you Wies and everyone at Yellow Zebra for planning this wonderful itinerary for us. Norm and Karen Bell

Safari honeymoon
Our experience with Yellow Zebra has been fantastic. Their African specialist Wies is extremely knowledgable and was able to provide information about the areas that we wanted to travel to and the routes to get there that other tour operators were unaware of. This expertise along with their tailored safaris and numerous camp options were some of the many reasons we decided to book our Honeymoon with Yellow Zebra.
Date of experience : 08 February 2024
Dear Lauren, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We’re really proud of the expertise of our Safari Specialist team and are delighted to hear that Wies was able to give you a range of options to create your tailor-made honeymoon. We wish you the best in your future life together - and look forward to hearing about your trip when you return. James, Sales Director, Wies, and the YZ team
A great experience so far!
I have had such a great experience working with the Yellow Zebra team so far. Lauren N assisted us in booking our trip to Tanzania and not only is she knowledgeable, but she was very prompt in responding to my emails and has been very pleasant! We are so looking forward to our trip this October!! I searched and communicated with a few different companies before finally trusting and booking with Yellow Zebra. I highly recommend booking with them!

Knowledgeable Safari Specialists
I worked with Sebastian Sattin, a Yellow Zebra safari specialist to build an itinerary for a 3 1/2 week safari in East Africa. Sebastian was a pleasure to work with and has a wealth of knowledge on all things safari related. He has personally visited most or all of the camps on our itinerary. He listened to my preferences up front for what type of trip we’d like and developed a thoughtful plan.

We wish you a fantastic trip to Africa. Please do tell us about it when you get back. James, Sales Director, Sebastian and the YZ team
Expertly Organised & Well Managed
Yellow Zebra Safaris provided a first class service. When our party were trying to work our way through all the options that surround planning a safari, YZ were on hand to provide honest reviews and assessments of the different choices. They then diligently put the package together and provided detailed information packs. But the proof of the pudding is in the tasting. Everything worked as planned with absolutely no hitches. Meet and greet, accommodation, flights - all ran like clockwork.
Dear Stuart, Thank you for taking the time to write this kind review. Wies, your Travel Expert, and the YZ team take pride in crafting unique safari adventures and it’s wonderful to hear that your expectations were more than fulfilled and that everything ran like clockwork during your trip. We hope to be able to book another adventure for you soon! James, Sales Director, Wies and the YZ team
First Safari
We are going on our first safari in June 2024. My wife and I looked at many companies and read countless reviews. Our first contact with Yellow Zebra confirmed we were headed in the right direction. Kelly Connor answered every question and came up with some fantastic options. She was always available for our many questions. Even though we're in the States there's been no issue with communication. We're super excited for our Kenya adventure.
Date of experience : 25 September 2023
Dear Tony, Thank you for choosing Yellow Zebra for your upcoming safari adventure in June 2024! We are thrilled to be part of your first safari experience and appreciate your kind words.

We wish you a fantastic trip to Kenya. Please do tell us about it when you get back. James, Sales Director, Kelly, and the YZ team.
Our representative spent a lot of time…
Our representative spent a lot of time with us customizing our trip and ultimately was able to secure what we wanted. I would have given 5 stars, however I feel we were misguided when it came to the actual booking process and who to include/not include as we had some on the fence. We were encouraged to include but then got slapped with a 20 percent cxl fee one week after booking for a trip not taking place till 7/24.
Date of experience : 22 March 2023
Hi there Susanne, We're really glad that you have been able to confirm the trip you wanted but obviously not happy with the fact that you feel let down on our service levels, especially around the 20% cancellation fee. Unfortunately, this was something charged by the camp you had booked and not us, but I can still appreciate it has come as something of a surprise. Unfortunately, our hands are tied in situations like this, but we'll be taking this up with the property involved again, and seeing if we can get that money back for you. Julian, YZ Founder & Director
Just returned from our first trip with…
Just returned from our first trip with Yellow Zebra and our fourth safari overall. This time we wanted to experience Botswana and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Malcolm advised us on possible camps and also hotels in Vic Falls after listening to our ideas and wishes and then put together the most wonderful trip. All transfers both by air and road worked seamlessly and the camp and hotel were first class. And we saw the elusive leopard at all three camps too, icing on the cake for us. Thanks Malcolm and the team. Thoroughly recommend YZ

Always available and attentive
I was a tiny bit worried about using a UK based company, being in the US, but that all went away as soon as I spoke to my agent Emma, and started planning my trip. Which took 2 years, just an FYI. We ended up with a 12 night Kenyan safari,...

Planning trip
From the moment of our first call with this company, I knew we had picked a great company. They hooked us up with a representative ( that was actually referred to us by friends who had used them). Working together in two different countries is challenging, but James and the company have a system of setting up telephone conferences and they make it so easy. Any questions or concerns are answered by next day. We have’nt taken the planned trip yet. But we can’t wait. I’ ll check back in when we do.

I would like to take this opportunity and thank all the staff at Yellow Zebra Safaris who ensured my husband and I had the most fabulous trip to Kenya on Safari. This trip was planned and booked 3 years ago, bespoke to our needs and we were treated with professionalism, patience and support throughout it all. Nothing was too much trouble. Someone was always on hand to answer any queries and if no-one was available somebody would always get in touch. A fantastic service was given to us by everyone involved in making this holiday possible

Tanzania safari
YellowZebra was amazing to work with. They went out of their way to answer the seemingly endless list of questions I had about the logistics and safety of the trip, and worked with me to develop a custom safari that met all of our requirements. They set up time to talk with us over the phone to make sure we were all ready to go before we left - would highly recommend!

Adventure of a lifetime
My experience with YZ safaris has been an education and a pleasure! Olivia is my safari specialist and she has gone above and beyond to put together a safari that is exactly what I envisioned. She listened to my thoughts and ideas and made something real out of them! She was able to guide me through some finer points that I would have had no idea about and in the end I have a true adventure of a lifetime to look forward to. Maddie, the operations person was also helpful in getting arrangements and informing me of required documentation. All in all my experience with YZ has been nothing short of excellent!! My thanks to the YZ Team!

We have just completed a 10 day Safari with Yellow Zebra. The whole experience was everything we asked for and more. The different style of camps they presented was fabulous and all unique in there own right. From Impala to Elephant to Lions and cubs on land and water amazing. Beware though the food was A1 and endlessly on supply. So not the trip to loose any kilos! We would highly recommend Yellow Zebra for organising anyones safari.

YZ is great to work with
Wies and the team at Yellow Zebra Safaris are so easy to work with and very accommodating, even when they are thrown a few curves they continue to find you the right safari experiences for you. That is why we continue to use Yellow Zebra Safaris to help us find our next safari. This safari had experiences that even our guides had rarely scene or it too was their first time to see. The camps chosen were excellent and the teams there were wonderful too. We were so impressed we asked Wies to put together another great adventure for us in July 2023. We are bringing others with us next time too. Thanks!

Emma at Yellow Zebra organized a fantastic safari for us in July 2022. We visited multiple locations in South Africa, Tanzania, and Kenya which required multiple flights internal to Africa. The transfers and handling YZ arranged for us at each junction was superb. The lodges YZ selected were excellent and overall, the trip could not have been better. The only suggestion would be that it is not necessary to bring nicer clothes for the lodges or for Cape Town in the evenings. Also, we were advised not to bring wheeled luggage but nearly everyone else did - even for the very small bush flights. Overall, I would highly recommend YZ to anyone planning a safari and we will use them again when appropriate!

Outstanding experience by Yellow Zebra!!
I just came back from a 3 week safari trip to Uganda and Tanzania arranged by YZ. From start to finish I was looked after at every airport, lodge and camp. It was flawless. A female single traveller on my first solo trip I did not have to think about anything and always felt safe and taken care of. YZ exceeded my expectations in every regard and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari. Special shout out to Olivia and Janine who worked with me for months on putting together the perfect safari vacation. Thank you both!!

I learned of Yellow Zebra Safaris from a friend who had just completed her safari with them. There are so many companies to choose from and I felt more comfortable working with one that was recommended by someone I knew and who would have high expectations. I called YZS and worked with Sebastian. We had a couple of phone conversations and then Sebastian proposed 3 different trips. After reviewing the details of all of them we chose one we thought we wanted. We had a zoom call to clarify specific details and any questions we had. The process was seamless. Sebastian was great. Any email has been answered promptly. We have been very pleased so far. We travel September 2023.

Excellent. Lions, migration and cheetah kill particular highlights, but also a special mention for bush camping in Meru. We booked this trip 3 years ago but it was delayed due to COVID. Yellow Zebra were fantastic in helping us reorganise and were very responsive to our questions.
Dear Jenny, Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review for us - we really appreciate your feedback.

I am so impressed with yellow tiger
I am so impressed with yellow zebra. They organized my trip of a lifetime to trek to see the gorillas in Uganda and then a Safari in Tanzania. It was an intensive trip with lots of small plans and organization. At each leg there was someone to greet us, to help us through immigration, or to pick us up. We felt totally taken care of and trusted the process and everything went smoothly. I never could have done this trip without the organization skills of yellow zebra. Every lodge we stayed in, every tent, every driver, every guide was professional, welcoming and warm. Thank you!

This was our third safari trip with Yellow Zebra and they have continued to exceed expectations. The latest trip was based on gorilla and monkey trekking in Uganda and safari in the Masai Mara. The arrangements were seamless and the lodges selected by YZ were brilliant. The wildlife viewing could not have been better and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip from start to finish. The YZ team really understand the areas that we visited through first-hand experience and this is reflected in the trip that they arranged for us and I am not sure that you could find a better safari agent!

2025 Bucket List Trip
We will be going on our trip in 2025 so I cannot speak to that but the planning and communication has been wonderful. Matt was very patient will all my suggestions/changes and we finally found the perfect trip thanks to his help. He also looked at a competing itinerary from another company and not only beat the price but took time to explain why it was a lesser experience compared to the Yellow Zebra option. It opened our eyes to the difference between the trips and stayed with the YZ itinerary.

Amazing Safari Experience
We had excellent communication and guidance from YZ from the very beginning. We went in not knowing what we wanted to do at all other than go on a safari and Olivia gave us several different travel options to choose from. We settled on a safari in Tanzania. YZ booked us with fabulous accommodations in the bush. Everyone we encountered was incredibly nice and welcoming. Our food was amazing every where we stayed. We could not have asked for a better first safari experience. Would highly recommend booking with YZ and highly recommend visiting Tanzania to experience the wildlife and hospitality for yourself!

We spent two wonderful weeks on a safari with the Wild Source in northern Tanzania. Kuria Hills Lodge was our last stop - and quite a treat. Our other lodging was wonderful - tent camps in spectacular locations surrounded by wildlife. But, after many days on the road the luxury of Kuria Hills was welcome. What a way to finish off a trip. The rooms were really quite deluxe..separate sitting areas, very nice bathrooms (AND outdoor showers with a great view), excellent lighting. Each room was located so that no other structure was in view...nothing but wooded plains and kopjes. Almost all safari lodging is on solar power, and this usually means dim lighting. For those of us over 60, it seems that good lighting gets more and more important. Kuria Lodge has a really large solar system (170 panels!), and the lighting was excellent (and the water very hot)! The dining areas, bar and outdoor sitting areas were lovely. We even had sundowners (cocktail hour) on top of a kopje! The northern Serengeti in March is very lightly used. There were very few people at the lodge, and we saw almost no cars on our game drives. It felt truly luxurious to have the place almost all to ourselves. The northern Serengeti at that time is wonderfully green. The land is beautiful - rolling hills, wooded plains, kopjes (rock outcroppings) everywhere. There are no migrating wildebeests or river crossings, but in their place lions, cheetahs, gazelles, hyenas, an amazing number of white storks, topi all around We saw tawny eagles killing a heron, klipspringers, elephants, buffalo...and a very large python to top it off. Our Wild Source guides Deo and Fadhil Magoye were outstanding - and shared their incredible in-depth knowledge of the land and the wildlife with us. Would we go back again - in a heart beat!

We love Wild Source so hurry up and book your return trip with them and come stay with us. Thank you so much for sharing Warm regards
My wife and I visited this beautiful place, it was a last minutes booking but the reservation team made it happen. We were warmly welcomed by Richard and his wife Tansy(Managers) very friendly couple. Located close to Mara river where the dramatic events of the great wildebeests migration takes place each year. Rooms were stunning! Food and service was wonderful. We could not ask for more. Just happy with this place!
Thank you so much for sharing and hope you have wonderful memories of your stay with us and that we will see you again sooner rather than later. Warm regards Veronica
Phenomenal camp; phenomenal staff; phenomenal management; strategically located in north Serengeti for an incredible animal drive, this resort is a dream come true for any safari seeker. From the supreme culinary chef down to the friendly and incredibly efficient room help, passing by the efficient management staff, everything came together to make our stay enjoyable and safe.
Thank you so much for sharing and hope you have wonderful memories of your stay with us. Warm regards Veronica
Kuria Hills was everything we wanted and more. We stayed 4 days, 3 nights and had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the game drives to the food and staff, everything was top notch. The managers (Tansy and Rich) were unbelievably attentive and kind. They work hard to greet every guest after each game drive arrival (2 per day). They were so kind, knowledgeable and fun. The property itself is spectacularly beautiful. Our assigned lodge was just incredible (the view, the size of the room, decor, comfort, etc.). Upon arrival, all guests are assigned the same staff team for the length of their stay. This is great because you feel like you really get to know the wonderful people on staff day in and day out. Our game driver was Freddie, who is a rock star, who (like everyone at Kuria Hills) went above and beyond to make sure we had a great game drive experience. He was so knowledgeable and just plain fun. We were also given the pleasure of spending time with Obedi for the length of our stay. Obedi has the most contagious smile you'll ever encounter and will play the best game of Jenga in the Northern Serengeti, so make sure you have him play a game (or 4) with you. I have a giant number of food allergies and I was really nervous that I was not going to be able to eat very much on this trip, but I was blown away by the food. Chef Mesuli is one of a kind. He makes the most delicious food (especially soups!). He was wonderful at substituting out ingredients that I could not have and making everything taste delicious regardless. Kuria Hills made eating (delicious food) so easy and stress free. Everything about those 4 days were great. I cannot thank the management or the staff enough for making our safari so memorable.
Thank you so much for the awesome review. Am just delighted that the Team at Kuria looked after you so well and that you had an amazing stay. We are so appreciative for you sharing the feedback and with all the on site training in the food and guide department was just great to see that clearly the training has worked and you enjoyed it all. Hope to see you again. Warm regards Veronica
We stayed at Kuria Hills for 3 nights. From the second we arrived into the Serengeti, we were treated like queens! The new owners Rich and Tansy made sure we had the best experience possible. The food was top notch, the lodges were beautiful, and the game drives were so exciting! Our safari guide, Freddy, was awesome! We saw soo many animals and he was very knowledgeable. We had Obedi as our waiter and he was also wonderful. I can't say enough about this place!! I would definitely recommend it to all of my friends!! Can't wait to go back one day:)
Thank you so much for sharing. You sound like you had a pretty spectacular time and so delighted that our new managers, Rich and Tansy and the Kuria Hills team looked after you so well and that you have many great memories of your stay with us. Warm regards veronica

Very kind and relaxed attention to detail .
From the start the very caring Yellow Zebra representatives asked what our expectations were from a Safari trip . Suffice to say our expectations were more than fulfilled . The three camps visited on our Safari were all different but equally well managed and resourced with very attentive and friendly staff . A Very Big Thank You to one and all . John and Maddy King .

Planning for an African Safari
I thought planning for an African Safari for my 70th birthday would be a long and daunting task. I contacted 5 companies for options and prices. Within 24 hours a wonderful, friendly and inquisitive representative from Yellow Zebra contacted me asked me for some more information about what I wanted for my tour. Within an hour she sent me options and prices to begin our planning journey together. Within 5 days all my questions were answered, ( I had lots), and the trip was booked. My representative was right on top of things and made me feel that my trip of a lifetime was about me not just a tour. As for the other 4 companies, well responses a little slow. My safari trip was not daunting with this company. She even went out of her way to find me the most direct flight information to get me started.

Feeling confident
I am still in the process of preparing for my trip to Africa. I do feel confident that all will go as planned. This is because YZ has been there every step of the way, from planning my itinerary to answering every question I've had. We are half a world apart but I've felt as if Geogia and Maddie have been right there with me as I've made plans for my trip of a lifetime. It will be several months until I depart but I know I have a great knowledgeable and empathetic team ready to help with any issue that might come up.

The business side of the company was…
The business side of the company was very disorganized when it came to making arrangements and giving us details on our trip; I felt like I was playing mom as the group leader and it was very stressful for me, when the whole purpose of hiring a travel agent is to make it easier on the travellers. When we got to the actual safari, everything was great, our teams with Wilderness and Wayo Camp were excellent and the accommodations were fantastic. Wouldn't trade this experience for anything, but I wish it would have been less of a mess to organize and I felt like I was doing Yellow Zebra's job for some parts of it. But overall, a great experience for our first trip to Tanzania.

Dear Emily, Thank you kindly for your review. We are absolutely delighted that you had such a fantastic safari, and that the accommodations and guides that Matt suggested delivered in the manner that they did. We are however truly sorry for your experience in the lead-up to your safari. Our travel designers passed over your booking to an experienced ‘operations’ consultant who then carried you through to travel - with the travel designer touching base again before and after your trip. We also have our teams on the ground looking after you. It has proved to be our best way of working but clearly, we’ve not executed things in the way we would hope on this occasion. Until now, communications from our sales and operations teams for group safaris like yours, have generally revolved around a main point of contact for the whole group. While we do try to obtain important information (for example flight details) directly from fellow group members, this is not always successful. It's generally at this point that our team will reach out to the 'group leader' to see if they have access to that information. From what you have said, this is obviously not an approach that best suits everyone, and going forward we will go a little further - with, for example, phone calls - before taking that final step. We will certainly be looking at our processes to see where these can be improved Emily; we don’t like to see this kind of review! We are always doing our best to improve everything we can. Your review has been discussed at the Director level with the team here. Julian Carter-Manning, Founder
Professional and knowledgeable team
We have reached out to a few companies to get ideas and quotes to plan our first trip to Kenya. Yellow Zebras Safaris was quick to responds and offer us lots of information after talking to us to finding out about what we are looking for on this trip. They came up with various itineraries working it around our ideas and requirements. It was a tough choice for us to make as all the itineraries has almost everything what we asked for. Yellow Zebra Safaris have been very professional as well as friendly and approachable in every step of our dealings with them. Georgia in Sales and Maddie in Operations have been very helpful in answering our questions. We are looking forward to our trip in March and hoping to meet some of their ground crew. It is a comfort to know that Yellow Zebra's team will be on hand to help us through any issue we might encountered on our Kenyan trip.

Wonderful!!
I used Yellow Zebra Safaris several years ago when I planned a trip to Botswana and they were amazing! I have just started working with them to put together a trip for next year to Uganda and, once again, they are wonderful to work with! They are responsive, give me lots of options and answer all of my questions. I can't wait to be in Uganda and to know that they have taken care of all the details! I am traveling alone for this upcoming trip and knowing that they are in charge gives me total peace of mind.

Great advice with a personal touch
We contacted a couple of travel agents to discuss our first safari package. Matt Court at Yellow Zebra Safaris gave us good advice and following discussions promptly put together an initial package. He then listened to our questions and requirements to finalise a package that suited our budget and expectations for our first safari holiday. Looking forward to September 2024 when we go to Tanzania

Georgia and Diana at Yellow Zebra could not have been more helpful when booking our South Africa safari/winelands trip for next year.

Planning Your Dream Trip with Yellow Zebra…
Yellow Zebra Safaris knows this business and the continent as well as any. Many of them such as James having been guides and/or rangers themselves truly have first hand knowledge to plan your dream trip using their own experiences. I know they still travel alone and with family so they continue to practice what they preach. Professional, thorough and efficient support from start to finish.

Yellow Zebra were just faultless
Yellow Zebra were just faultless. From the detailed website and knowledgeable staff, helping us to make our decision about which camp; to the keeping in touch and switching plans throughout the Covid period; to everything working beautifully when we did finally make the trip. Nottens in Sabi in South Africa was spot on, cannot recommend it enough.

Good, but some areas for improvement
In general we were satisfied with our safari in Tanzania. The camps and lodges selected by Yellow Zebra were beautiful, comfortable and located in nice places. The rangers in general were well organised and possesing a good knowledge of animals. Sometimes their English was not perfectly good, but overally that was not a big issue. The only reservation we have is the organisation of the internal flights. We spent hours waiting for some of our flights, which was not comfortable and waste of time. We were told that the flights are usually scheduled a day before the departure ( these mentioned in our timetable were only provisional). In our view, Yellow Zebra’ representatives should take the responibility for checking these flighets a day before and let us know the exact time we should appear at the airport. It will help to reduce unnecessary nerves and frustration …
Date of experience : 08 August 2022
Dear Aneta, We are so sorry that the internal flights let us down here. They are indeed set to a rough schedule which is only confirmed the day before. Typically the internal airlines communicate with the camps (or transfer company) directly to give them a more precise time. This hopefully avoids travellers having to wait around - because you are taken for your flight as it is expected to arrive. That said, having looked into this specific trip, the two hour wait was not actually down to pre-planned schedule changes. It was because of a delay between flights - one flight left on time to the central Serengeti. But the flight meeting it to fly up to the north was delayed. Resulting in a wait inbetween. We are so sorry that this impacted on your trip. We have fed back to the airline in question, in the hope that it will help them improve their services and reduce delays in the future. Thank you very much for taking the time to feedback to us. Kindest regards, Julian, James, Matt and the YZ team
Yellow Zebra was an excellent choice
Yellow Zebra was an excellent choice. Matthew C & Marion were incredibly helpful. We were unsure of where we wanted to go and he helped us narrow it down. Every detail was perfectly taken care of. The Entamau Private and Kaskaz Mara camps were fabulous! Both very different which made the experience that much richer. All of our guides were excellent and very knowledgeable, and took very good care of us. We had to postone due to COVID and they took very good care to rebook us. Highly recommend!!

Good things come to those that wait.
We booked our family safari trip back in 2020, just before COVID struck. 2 years later and we have returned from an amazing trip to Tanzania. Yellow Zebra have been fantastic throughout the whole process and we always felt fully informed and up to date with their planning of our trip. The choices they made on our behalf truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you YZ for a life changing experience.

Very kind and relaxed attention to detail .
From the start the very caring Yellow Zebra representatives asked what our expectations were from a Safari trip . Suffice to say our expectations were more than fulfilled . The three camps visited on our Safari were all different but equally well managed and resourced with very attentive and friendly staff . A Very Big Thank You to one and all . John and Maddy King .

Planning for an African Safari
I thought planning for an African Safari for my 70th birthday would be a long and daunting task. I contacted 5 companies for options and prices. Within 24 hours a wonderful, friendly and inquisitive representative from Yellow Zebra contacted me asked me for some more information about what I wanted for my tour. Within an hour she sent me options and prices to begin our planning journey together. Within 5 days all my questions were answered, ( I had lots), and the trip was booked. My representative was right on top of things and made me feel that my trip of a lifetime was about me not just a tour. As for the other 4 companies, well responses a little slow. My safari trip was not daunting with this company. She even went out of her way to find me the most direct flight information to get me started.

Feeling confident
I am still in the process of preparing for my trip to Africa. I do feel confident that all will go as planned. This is because YZ has been there every step of the way, from planning my itinerary to answering every question I've had. We are half a world apart but I've felt as if Geogia and Maddie have been right there with me as I've made plans for my trip of a lifetime. It will be several months until I depart but I know I have a great knowledgeable and empathetic team ready to help with any issue that might come up.

The business side of the company was…
The business side of the company was very disorganized when it came to making arrangements and giving us details on our trip; I felt like I was playing mom as the group leader and it was very stressful for me, when the whole purpose of hiring a travel agent is to make it easier on the travellers. When we got to the actual safari, everything was great, our teams with Wilderness and Wayo Camp were excellent and the accommodations were fantastic. Wouldn't trade this experience for anything, but I wish it would have been less of a mess to organize and I felt like I was doing Yellow Zebra's job for some parts of it. But overall, a great experience for our first trip to Tanzania.
Date of experience : September 23, 2023
Dear Emily, Thank you kindly for your review. We are absolutely delighted that you had such a fantastic safari, and that the accommodations and guides that Matt suggested delivered in the manner that they did. We are however truly sorry for your experience in the lead-up to your safari. Our travel designers passed over your booking to an experienced ‘operations’ consultant who then carried you through to travel - with the travel designer touching base again before and after your trip. We also have our teams on the ground looking after you. It has proved to be our best way of working but clearly, we’ve not executed things in the way we would hope on this occasion. Until now, communications from our sales and operations teams for group safaris like yours, have generally revolved around a main point of contact for the whole group. While we do try to obtain important information (for example flight details) directly from fellow group members, this is not always successful. It's generally at this point that our team will reach out to the 'group leader' to see if they have access to that information. From what you have said, this is obviously not an approach that best suits everyone, and going forward we will go a little further - with, for example, phone calls - before taking that final step. We will certainly be looking at our processes to see where these can be improved Emily; we don’t like to see this kind of review! We are always doing our best to improve everything we can. Your review has been discussed at the Director level with the team here. Julian Carter-Manning, Founder
Professional and knowledgeable team
We have reached out to a few companies to get ideas and quotes to plan our first trip to Kenya. Yellow Zebras Safaris was quick to responds and offer us lots of information after talking to us to finding out about what we are looking for on this trip. They came up with various itineraries working it around our ideas and requirements. It was a tough choice for us to make as all the itineraries has almost everything what we asked for. Yellow Zebra Safaris have been very professional as well as friendly and approachable in every step of our dealings with them. Georgia in Sales and Maddie in Operations have been very helpful in answering our questions. We are looking forward to our trip in March and hoping to meet some of their ground crew. It is a comfort to know that Yellow Zebra's team will be on hand to help us through any issue we might encountered on our Kenyan trip.
