EXCELLENT Based on 73 reviews Posted on Google Kyle PalmieriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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 Tracey de KockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most incredible travel company I have ever dealt with! They tailor make your trip to exactly what suits you and do not miss a detail. No one else comes close to them when it comes to African safari curated holidays. Thank you we already looking at our next trip !Posted on Google Shani DassTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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 Lynn BeardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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!Posted on Google Gillian JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So helpful and knowledgeablePosted on Google Emina BegovicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience working with Ker & Downey, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. A special thank you to Tamsyn Young, who planned an incredible African itinerary for me on extremely short notice, just two weeks before departure. Tamsyn stayed in regular contact throughout the planning process and during my travels, carefully coordinated every detail around my flight schedule, and ensured that all of the ground logistics were completely seamless. From airport transfers to lodge connections, everything worked flawlessly, allowing me to simply enjoy the experience. The trip itself was unforgettable. Gorilla trekking was a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Every destination, accommodation, and activity was thoughtfully selected and flawlessly executed. Thank you, Tamsyn and the entire Ker & Downey team, for creating such an extraordinary adventure!Posted on Google Frank GrosspietschTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sarah Morris and her team from Ker & Downey Africa arranged an incredible 3 night stay at the Atzaro Okavango Camp in Botswana. From arranging the flights (helicopter and fixed wing), responding to our questions and requests, they were exceptional and very quick in their responses. As for the accommodations, facilities and most importantly, the staff at the camp were incredible.Posted on Google Sarah KraemerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ker&Downey (AKA Grand Africa Safaris) has consistently provided excellent experiences for our clients who book safaris. The team is in constant communication with our guests while they are in country, and are highly organized and communicate clearly with us in the planning stages. They execute the highest end luxury safaris, and can also work within a budget to deliver "memories of a lifetime." They have been our partners for 10 years, and we look forward to many more happy years of business together.Posted on Google Ruth WoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ker and Downey has worked with me and my clients for the past ten years and are a wonderful team of professional African specialists.Posted on Google Christina SilvaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
