"Our trip adviser organised the trip so well we didn't have to worry about transfers or our luggage at any point. This was all taken care of by the Hayes and Jarvis team. During our trip we stayed in six hotels and had nine flights. Each hotel fitting our needs perfectly and each flight was made without and hassle. We was picked up and dropped off at all the right times. The trip coordinator was contactable at all times, even at the weekends. We had two half day walking city tours, one two day tour and another one day tour. All the guides were very knowledgeable and were good company. We plan to have multi-destination holidays again and will definitely use Hayes and Jarvis."

"Truely memorable family holiday. A genuine experience where we saw the big 5 up close and many more animals as well - highlights included a baby rhino and leopard, and the stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. All made possible by an experienced and helpful safari driver and support throughout. Finished off with a relaxing few days at a pristine beach by the Indian Ocean."

"The Gorilla trekking was exceptional. Although we didn’t have to trek much to locate the gorilla family we’d been assigned, the experience was unforgettable. To be that close to a family of gorillas was so special. Then our safari in Tanzania was more than we ever expected. Being able to see the big 5 in just 3 days and see them in multiple locations and witness cheetah hunting, herds of elephants with their young and have a leopard walk right past the truck just a few feet from us was something we’ll never forget. We finished the holiday off with a few days in Zanzibar at a great hotel for a truly relaxing end to the trip. All the drivers and guides were brilliant, friendly and so knowledgable. The people of Uganda and Tanzania are also great, so friendly and hospitable. We can’t wait to go back and explore more. Beth and Brian at Hayes and Jarvis were perfect in how they handled everything from giving us loads of options and information to tailor the holiday around what we wanted to on demand support during the trip with any questions we had, always fast responses. Would definitely recommend"

Itinerary: Nairobi - Masai Mara - Nairobi - Zanzibar
"A holiday that surpassed our greatest expectations. A safari across the Masai Mara where we stayed at the Governors Camp which exudes luxury, has a fantastic location and experienced, knowledgeable guides who went the extra mile to ensure we had the best possible game drives. That was followed by a week in Zanzibar at the Marijani hotel which is a fantastic new hotel, perfectly located on the beautiful white sandy beach with the crystal clear sea. The hotel staff are amazing, friendly and can’t do enough for you. The various flights and transportation were really well organised and we felt supported throughout the whole holiday. It really was the holiday of a lifetime."

"This was my first experience with Hayes and Jarvis and from the first phone call to the last contact with the driver who dropped us off at the airport on the way home from a 3 country trip of Southern Africa, everything went without a glitch. Everyone involved wanted to make the trip as interesting and enjoyable as possible."

"Thank you for planning such an amazing South American adventure for us. The trip fulfilled all our travel dreams and so much more! We felt like special guests and were given the luxury treatment throughout. We loved having a trip co-ordinator to answer all our questions upfront and the fact that Claudia was on hand in case of any queries during our trip was reassuring."
