We are accomplished travellers on our third safari. We needed professionalism, effectiveness and efficiency. Thats precisely what we got.

The in-country support was exceptionally good. First-class service, facilities, communication and support. 10/10.

Excellent guidance and follow up for vacation planning. They listened to what we wanted and built a beautiful custom vacation. Once the trip began they were also extremely responsive to any question.

Loved the camps Jo selected and planning process.

Oh my gosh - trip of a lifetime!! It's hard to find words to express how beyond expectations this adventure was. My son researched several boutique agencies and settled, thank goodness, on YZ and Eleanor; she designed the perfect trip! Except for one day, we were the only two in our vehicle, so could do whatever we wanted and had the full attention of our guides and trackers. We were on private concessions and hardly ever saw another vehicle. It also allowed me to spend a LOT of time with the meerkats, which was a major reason for the trip! 😊 I also wanted to see as many different animals as we could - mission accomplished. The landscape, food, accommodations, staff, logistics were outstanding! I've wanted to go on a safari for probably 40 years; thank you YZ and Eleanor for giving me a spectacular experience!

From start to finish yellow zebra made our experience a 5 star one. Jecca worked with us to find the exact perfect locations for each of our Safaris booked all our airfare which we had like eleven flights made sure we were greeted with a smile at every airport. So professional kept in touch informed made suggestions we were extremely happy with all the properties we stayed on 5 star all the way We love that we had a Whatsapp to communicate in case we could not find our connecting concierge The only thing I would suggest is possibly including visa preparation as part of the services that you offer it was a little complicated for Uganda and Kenya I did manage to get through it but the price that they were going to charge for it was very extreme would have been nice just not have to worry about anything Overall we were extremely happy and would definitely deal with yellow zebra again so glad I found them

Great people, know their stuff. Worked hard to coordinate a trip with a number of extras

Booking with Sam was very easy. Great listener who designed a custom plan for our families needs. True professional, never rushed or pressured us. revised plan several times and gave us his honest opinions. Excited to take the trip - planning was easy with Yellow Zebra. I could tell this is a professional team with loads of on the ground experience.

This was our first trip to Africa and our first safari experience. Yellow Zebra did an excellent job getting us prepped for the trip - everything from thinking about vaccines to what camera lens to bring and clothes to pack. The trip itself was incredible. All of the logistics were flawless, every place we stayed was wonderful and somehow each bush camp was slightly more luxurious than the prior camp. We found out later that was intentional and a welcomed surprise for our group. Our safari guides were friendly and knowledgeable about everything from the big animals to the small birds - which was important to the birder in our group. Last but not least - the game drives and the animal experiences we had gave us memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend Yellow Zebra to help you plan your trip!

I guess best said is a shared interest by YZ and us in our itinerary and proactively helping us maximize the adventure - experienced people with a passion make the difference.

I have been dealing with Cassia and Magda who are extremely helpful and responsive. The planning and execution of my safari was excellent, so much so that I have already booked another for next year.

Great experiences, hotels, planning & service!

I had arranged a trip to South Africa, Botswana and Uganda for my family but with a month to go I had to cancel our week in Uganda. It was late to rebook elsewhere so I turned to a couple travel companies to see if they could help us out. Our regular company wasn't able to but Kate at Yellow Zebra pulled through for us. She worked diligently on a couple different possibilities. Namibia was booked but she was able to arrange a trip to Victoria Falls and then on to Deetema Springs in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. She worked closely with me to match our interests and style of travel - not too posh. Yellow Zebra was attentive to details, gave us information on getting the necessary visas etc. The trip went smoothly, we were met at all of our connections, the accommodations were great and to our tastes. Thank you Kate for rescuing our trip! I would definitely recommend working with Yellow Zebra.

One of the most frustrating issues I have is leaving a message and waiting a dog's age for a response. That was never an issue with Yellow Zebra. They came recommended from fellow traveler's and they came through with flying colors. Even though our trip is all planed out and yet to start they are regularly staying in touch to make sure that I am on track with my paperwork and assuring us they are always available to help us with an further changes. They respond very quickly and do not leave us hanging. Cheers to them!!

I have just come back from my third safari with Yellow Zebra.. it was my best one yet!!
I was at Kecheche Mara North camp on the Masai Mara it was my second trip to that camp and what a welcome.. the wildlife was stunning I saw everything imaginable.
It is all thanks to Yellow Zebra , I travel on my own and no detail is overlooked and I feel safe and always looked after. There was an airport strike at NAIROBI airport and the support group where brilliant at sorting out accommodation for me as I was delayed by 2 days . All went well and I busy planning my next trip always with Yellow Zebra. Regards Gillian

Yellow Zebra Safaris was fantastic from start to finish. Specifically our advisor, Jo, was fabulous. We wanted to do an African safari for our honeymoon but did not know where to start. Jo was patient, extremely knowledgeable, and very helpful into providing us with a variety of different options. She was able to cater options to meet our needs. Further the airport transfer was seamless and very efficient. This was a trip of a lifetime that we will never forget and we cannot thank yellow zebra enough!!!! Would highly recommend and we are already discussing using them again.

Our safari was fantastic! The camps we stayed at were perfect for our group. The Amalinda Lodge tucked into the cliffs was especially scenic. Food at each location was delicious and served by a very attentive staff. Our safari guides, (Chamu at Amalinda, Zeb at Ivory, and Geoffrey at Flatdogs) were all extremely knowledgeable and did a fantastic job explaining everything from tracking animals via their footprints to identifying more birds than I thought possible. We were able to see every animal we had hoped for multiple times, including time spent with babies to full blown lion hunt. This was our second trip with Yellow Zebra. Both times we worked with Olivia and her and her team’s guidance on where to stay, logistics and ways to improve, and above all making sure we were able to see and experience so much are memories we will never forget. We look forward to working with her again on our next African adventure

This will be my second trip to Africa. I am going again next year. Yellow Zebra is organizing my 2027 trip with the same professionalism, care and patience as my 2026 trip. I highly recommend them.

My mother has always wanted to go on an African safari, and she eventually talked me into taking her 😁. We wanted a highly customized trip: her main reason for going was to see meerkats; I wanted to see the big cats; we wanted limited tourist traffic; we wanted to fly from place to place rather than spend hours driving—the list went on.

I interviewed five of the top premier safari companies and ultimately chose Eleanor Roberts at Yellow Zebra. Eleanor was clearly passionate about her job. She was a great listener, asked all the right questions, and was incredibly accessible and accommodating throughout the planning process.

She figured out exactly what we wanted to accomplish and built a (primarily) Botswana trip that was perfect for us—and right within our budget.

After watching videos of safaris in some of Africa's major national parks, I knew I had no desire to roll up on a leopard in a tree with 50 other vehicles surrounding it. Eleanor understood exactly what we were looking for and booked us on private concessions, where we rarely saw anyone all day other than our driver and tracker. It was exactly the experience we wanted.

Throughout our journey, we ran into several other travelers who had used Yellow Zebra—some of them multiple times—and they all raved about how great YZ was. We completely agree.

I've traveled extensively and have gotten to the point where I'm usually a little underwhelmed by trips. This was the complete opposite. I was blown away by how much the experience exceeded my expectations.

If you're looking for a non-cookie-cutter, highly customized African safari, seriously consider Yellow Zebra. The next time we go to Africa, there won't be any interviews with other companies. We're going straight back to Eleanor and YZ!!!

YZ made planning my safari a breeze. They always responded to any questions quickly, provided unbiased and deep insights and were extremely transparent throughout the process. They clearly have deep expertise about wildlife and safaris, and care about providing high quality service.

We wanted an unforgettable family adventure and Yellow Zebra certainly delivered. We met amazing people and stayed in fantastic hotels and lodges with the highlight being the camp in Northern Serengeti. Knowledgeable guides looked after us in the parks and we saw and experienced everything we hoped for.
