From start to finish the Yellow Zebra planned the most incredible Northern Tanzania safari/Zanzibar beach trip.
Julian and Savanna took into account all our preferences in food and accommodation when booking and planning our trip. From the time we booked the trip we would get reminders y to ensure visas, insurance etc were in order. In Tanzania a local team updated us daily through WhatsApp. The Wilderness staff on the ground were efficient from the time we were picked up at KIA to our final drop off in Dares salaam. On safari we had the most amazing guides ( James, Stephen and Emanuel) who were knowledgeable and welcoming. They would ask us each day our preferences and tailored the game drives accordingly. We learnt so much from the guides. Their ethical and respectful approach to conservation sets them apart from many other companies. The transitions between safari camps and Zanzibar were seamless with YZ booking with Auric Airlines.
The mobile tented camps in remote areas away from the crowds (we were hesitant initially) were amazing, peaceful and allowed us to see the most amazing sunsets, sunrises and animals including a herd of elephants and wildebeest . The hospitality at these tented safaris is like that of a 5 star hotel. Our trip to Zanzibar was equally amazing - food, culture and great hospitality at hand picked boutique hotels.
If you want peace of mind, a trip of a lifetime personalized for you and your family- go with Jullian/Savanna and the Yellow Zebra team.

They organize and coordinate everything, so you don’t have to worry about anything ! From pickups from airport, transfers to hotels, transport to airports, helping with customs/immigration, to bush flights, they do everything! All you need to do is show up and enjoy your safaris !!

Amazing service. Gave us the best trip!

Great communications. Booked our second safari with Yellow Zebra because our first experience working with this exceptional company was flawless. We are looking forward to our upcoming trip tailored just for us. The planning and pre- trip process was perfect.

Great trip to South Africa, Victoria Falls, West Serengeti, North Serengeti and Kenya. Yellow Zebra organized a seamless multi-camp, multi-country safari with easy transfers, knowledgeable guides every step, and an unforgettable experience.
Emma Dunn is a fantastic agent, friendly and lovely to work with. We will definitely book another trip with her through Yellow Zebra again!
Thank you for this trip of a lifetime!

An amazing safari itinery at very high quality venues. Incredible attention to detail. Transfers and safari guides all very trustworthy and knowledgeable. Pre-departure brief and information was very detailed and covered items we wouldn't have thought of. Made the whole holiday a stress free experience.

The "on-the-ground" support touted by Yellow Zebra / Wilderness could be a call center anywhere in the world. Our parting memory of South Africa is sitting for several hours at "bytes cafe" at Johannesburg airport's pre-security area with 2 young kids and my mother (celebrating her 70th birthday) trying to avoid the gum stuck under the table.

Here's what happened: Our last day involved complex travel (remote safari lodge > van > bush plane > JNB international flight check in) yet no one proactively reached out to confirm the plans or ask our preferences. We relied on a pdf print out from weeks prior.

We had even specifically asked (weeks earlier) what would happen while we waited for our international flight (given our unfamiliarity with Johannesburg's airport). We were assured we would remain at various lounges until our flight time.

Instead, the charter plane company eagerly dumped us at the main terminal hours early and we waited for several hours pre-security in Johannesburg airport because the British Airways check-in counter wasn't open yet. This is when we got to experience bytes cafe. No one from the "on the ground" team called us and certainly no one recommended a restaurant or offer any realistic solution. The team is unable to support the most basic service recovery.

It was a chaotic end to the trip and not at all what one would expect when you book at 10-day trip that costs the equivalent of a higher-end car for your parent's milestone birthday...

The friendeness and professionalism throughout my interaction with Georgia made my reservation experience easy and pleasant. Following our discussions, she prepared a great itinerary in line with my expectation. She was open to my demands for adjustments that she made without any issue. An amazing reservation experience. I am even more excited about my upcoming trip !

very responsive and worked with us to plan our next adventure within our limitations and within our planned budget to get the best experience possible

In summary, I wanted a complete and wholesome experience of Botswana - people, wildlife, scenery - and that is what I received. Two itineraries were proposed, one of which was exactly what I had hoped for, and from there to our return from Botswana, everything was handled with efficiency and expertise.

Yellow Zebra made it easy to do the trip of my life. After talking with Edward he put together an itinerary just like the one I had hoped for. During the trip everything went the way it was supposed to. All accommodations were above expectations with excellent food. The guides were punctual and highly knowledgeable. We absolutely loved our Tanzania experience.

Jecca was fabulous from our initial chat all the way through to booking our Safari giving us great options throughout after listening to exactly what was important to us for this adventure. After booking Heather then took over and helped sort all our paperwork and sent everything over to us. Would definitely recommend Yellow Zebra.

I think we can sum our trip with this single thought: We've never been on a trip where absolutely nothing went wrong and all of our expectations were (far) exceeded...until now. South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe...the people, the places we stayed, the nature were frankly overwhelming. We cannot say enough about Vuyo our guide in South Africa, he was incredible and we remain in frequent contact with him still! Yellow Zebra delivered in every way.

Sebastian really listened to what we wanted in our first safari and planned what turned out to be a great great experience. We wanted a more rustic authentic experience without crowds and with walking and canoe and boat safaris and night drives and birding safaris in addition to game drives and that is what we got. The help arranged at airports was really useful. Everything in Africa went very smoothly. We had done much online research first which helped us know what was important to us before we called.

Booking experience is first class. Really knowledgeable and helpful staff that tailor your safari to suit your individual requirements. We've used Yellow Zebra before and it was a no-brainer to use them again.

We received exceptional attention and service from Yellow Zebra from start to finish and have just completed a memorable two week holiday in East Africa. From the initial Zoom conversation with the service consultant (Sebastian) through to the smooth advice from the Operations team (Jo) to the 'in country support team (Oliver) - we felt very well supported. The itinerary was designed in line with our circumstances and wishes, all bookings and logistics ran like clockwork and no question went unanswered. Given we were a party of nine coming from multiple locations, this was not a straightforward exercise! Their choice of accommodation options and in-country support team made for an exceptional trip. First class.

A great start to the process of booking a holiday. There was a pricing issue in the middle but was handled exceptionally well. Their professionalism and willingness to resolve the situation turned what could have been a negative experience into a a very positive one.

I love planning my family vacations and rarely use a travel agent, but when it came to planning a safari in Africa I felt in over my head. I had a call with another agency first, but it just wasn't feeling right, so I did some additional research and came across Yellow Zebra Safaris, and more specifically Georgia Hinkley. From my first call with Georgia I could just tell that she got our family and what we were looking for on this bucket list trip! She helped walk me through the various parts of Africa and narrow down what would be best for our family's first time on safari. Then she helped me select our lodges, and wow...she knocked it out of the park! Specifically, we would have never found Walkers Plains if it weren't for Georgia, and this special lodge ended up being the highlight of our trip! There are no words to properly describe Walkers Plains...it's just something that has to be felt/experienced! We even cried when we left because it is truly that special! Georgia also helped us with accommodations at The Peech Hotel in Johannesburg and Old Drift Lodge in Victoria Falls. Both exceeded our expectations and then some! In addition, Georgia arranged all of flights between countries in Africa and all of our ground transporation and everything went flawlessly! Yellow Zebra had outstanding communication before, during and after our trip and we always felt safe, prepared, and in-the-know. Our once-in-a-lifetime bucket list trip went so well that we now can't imagine not doing it again and trying another part of Africa, and we owe it all to Georgia and Yellow Zebra Safaris! Georgia was always friendly, joyful and patient with any questions or changes I had along the way! We truly cannot thank her enough and assure you that you are in excellent hands if you book with Yellow Zebra Safaris!

Our experience with yellow zebra was excellent from start to finish. Sabastian help us figure out where we should go and the trip he designed was perfectly organized! From getting visas to having greeters make sure we made our connecting flights on our trip made us feel at ease. The lodges that sabastian suggested for us were all green safari ones and they were above and beyond what we expected! The lodges, the food the service our rooms and the people who worked there were exceptional! We can not recommend this company highly enough! Well done! We hope to go again and would never even think of using anyone else1

My family had a fantastic experience with Yellow Zebra. The details were planned impeccably. The accommodations, service, and food were all 5-star. Matt was incredible and always there to answer any questions or adjust any plans. Terrific experience for my family!
