We started planning our Namibia safari over a year in advance. Natasha was perfect to set up our itinerary and Sarah to fill in the details. They were both receptive to Zoom meetings and many emails. Because we had both seen the Big 5 on previous safaris in other countries, we were interested in Namibia's wide-open space and few tourists. The tented camp sites included in our itinerary provided our 2 requests. Our guides were superior and camp management also. Where next? Rwanda? Angola? Wherever...K and D will be my Safari outfitter.+7Posted on Google![]()

My husband and I took what we had hoped would be the trip of a lifetime Mountain Gorilla Trekking in Rawanda and on Safari in Tanzania. Our trip was personally curated for us by Tamsyn Young, Senior Travel Planner, Private Clients at Ker & Downey Africa. We were impressed and overwhelmed by the care and attention to detail that went into planning this adventure for us. I can honestly say that this trip surpassed our wildest expectations. However, we’re hoping it’s not the trip of a lifetime as we’re considering another trip with Ker & Downey in a few years to other parts of the African continent and completely expect that we will be equally amazed.+9Posted on Google![]()

We recently returned from an unforgettable trip to South Africa, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about our travel agency from the beginning stages to the details of the trip itself, everything was handled with professionalism care and attention to detail. Our trip was so truly special and we are so grateful for the expertise and personal attention that made it such an incredible experience.

Tamsyn from Ker and Downey put together an incredible 3 week anniversary trip for my husband and me in South Africa and Seychelles. She took care of every detail, and I felt safe and well cared for while abroad. The lodges she chose for our safaris were a perfect mix of experiences to see both tented camps and luxury lodges. She was able to arrange some special surprises to help us celebrate while on our vacation. I couldn't recommend her more, and we will definitely be using her to plan our next African vacation!Posted on Google![]()

We had a wonderful time on our trip. Tamsyn Young was our agent and was extremely helpful, answered our multiple questions and was very available with answers when needed. Everything was arranged - people met us at airports, all flights were arranged which included many changes on small planes and all the information was communicated to us in a timely manner. In addition, I sustained an injury and at the last minute needed to get met by wheelchairs for our flights. All was perfectly arranged. We highly recommend Ker and Downey!!!Posted on Google![]()

My father and I put our trust into Ker & Downey to put together a once in a lifetime trip to Egypt and they did not fail. Everything went flawless and K&D provided a true white-glove experience, that was above and beyond our expectations. I am so thankful we went with K&D, working with this team was fantastic and paid off. Thank you all.Posted on Google![]()

We booked a safari in Kenya through Ker & Downey and had a wonderful experience. Sarah and the team were very professional and communication was exceptional and were always available. The hotels they recommended were great and matched what we requested. It was stress free from start to end. We will definitely go with them againPosted on Google![]()

We returned home from our safari in Tanzania about two weeks ago. It was arranged by the incomparable Tamsyn "Tam" Young of Ker & Downey and was hands down the best vacation we've ever experienced. From my first inquiry to today, Tam made the entire experience outstanding. She was with us when our flights to Tanzania (arranged by us) were all messed up by delays. While we were sitting in airports, she was busy rearranging our plans so we wouldn't miss a beat. The camps where Tam booked us were unforgettable and staffed by unforgettable people. Our game drivers were absolutely outstanding. We saw gobs of animals, including close ups with elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs. We also saw two wildebeest crossings on the same day. We are convinced our trip would not have been the same if not for Tam and Ker & Downey. Top notch service!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
