Speedy response and high level of support and professionalism
Our decision to go on safari was rather last minute. We approached several operators for quotes and further information and Ryan was the first to respond and was really helpful. This speed of response and level of support continued up to and throughout the trip. It was nice to know that he was there for us if needed.
The holiday itself was amazing - the trip of a lifetime. So many amazing sights and experiences. All the arrangements went smoothly and our tour guides were great, really knowledgeable.
It we go to Africa again we will definitely contact Ryan to make the arrangements for us.

Fantastic booking experience!!
I came across Untamed Safaris via a FB ad while researching how to best go about planning our maiden safari somewhere in Africa. After contacting them, I was super impressed with the level of communication, care factor and overall service commitment by Ryan from Untamed Safaris. It was super easy to discuss with Ryan what we were after and very quickly we had tailored an itinerary that was loosely based on an existing route in South Africa. Ryan was always reachable via sms, email or a quick phone call. After going through tons of other safari routes/tours and operators we strongly felt that we received a very competitive offer and a value for money trip.
We just returned a few days ago and the trip itself was nothing but breathtaking. Every single leg was an amazing experience. The lodging. The game drives. Lots of life-lasting memories made!! We already mentioned to Ryan that if we ever go
To Africa again he will be our
Go-to guy.
Cannot praise this operator highly enough:)

Helpful and efficient
Ryan from untamedsafaris.com.au has been very helpful and easy to work with during the organisation and even during the trip itself.
The trip was amazing, Kenya and Tanzania were wonderful places to visit . We saw the big 5 in the first few days and each day we saw something new and exciting.
Everything worked as planned and Ryan checked in to see how we we were.
Amazing

Very obliging and knowledgeable
We went for almost 4 weeks mainly to South Africa plus Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe plus the Chobe River in Namibia.
We had a great time and saw Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, Johannesburg, had 5 days on the Walkers Plains Camp and saw the Big Five, Spent three days on the Chobe River Savannah camp exploring the river in a Tinny amongst all the elephants, hippos and saw a number of prides of lions.
Ryan also organised for the ROVOS train trip from Pretoria to Cape Town, what an experience, something out of the 1920's !!
Unfortunately the huge rains in the Cape washed out the last part of the rail tracks before Cape Town but no one can control Mother Nature.
Without exception all of the accommodation we had was fantastic, all of the transfers simply just happened on time every time and the whole holiday went off without a hitch.
An amazing feat doing it from the other side of the world.
We were very happy with everything and would highly recommend Ryan Kendall and Untamed Safaris to anyone.

Everything was as described and the travel arrangements worked seamlessly.
After arriving in South Africa, our tour commenced in Karongwe at Beck's Safari Lodge. The lodge was situated on a river bank and well maintained. Animals were present at all times. The game drives were extensive and carried out conscientiously, enabling the sighting of the "Big Five" and many, many more. Catering was good although BBQ's on two out of four nights was a cop-out for the caterers. We then traveled to Cape Town staying at the Portswood Hotel. The hotel was located in the Port area, an easy walk to the restaurant areas at the port. A tour to the Western Cape was included in our package and proved to be a highlight. We then traveled to Zimbabwe for the Victoria Falls, staying at Pioneers which was excellent with the best catering we encountered in Africa. From there we traveled to Chobe River Namibia, staying at Savanna Lodge.
The lodge facilities were excellent although the catering was below expectations. Game drives by river boat were excellent enabling close encounters with elephants, hippos, crocodiles, baboons and many animal and bird species.
Ryan Kendall of Untamed Safaris organised our trip and excelled in all aspects of the booking.

Perfect planning, prefect support
The team prepared a custom safari across 3 weeks travelling Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Their service and communication during the planning process was excellent with Ryan happy to answer all my questions and make adjustments so I was happy. The trip itself went off without a hitch due to the detailed attention. Post trip service was second to none with the team following up on things promptly. I cannot recommend Untamed Safaris enough! The trip of a lifetime made all the better because of the teams planning.

Prompt, knowledgeable, organized
We were looking for a company through which we would book our African holiday. Contemplated some Australian and African travel agents but wanted someone who could not just sell us a package but someone who really knew where to go, what to do and how to do it properly. We Googled and up came Untamed Safaris, checked the reviews and there was nothing but very positive comments. We felt comfortable we were dealing with an Australian company and not just an unknown ( to us ) African company.
We contacted Ryan and found him to very knowledgeable, was always prompt with his responses and also had various itineraries to contemplate. We also thought his pricing was very reasonable especially as we requested quality private game park accommodation, safaris and tours. We were not disappointed, he was certainly across our requirements and only had praise for his selections.
We resulted in visiting South Africa, Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Chobe National Park Botswana, all worth visiting.
Another thing we really liked was he organized all transfers, airport to accommodation, vice a vera, pickups for game parks and so on. It took out any stress having to determine if the taxi company we chose was safe and going to get us there.
Overall everything ran like clockwork, no hiccups, no delays including all flights which he booked. We were impressed.
We could only recommend Ryan and his small team, Africa was great and if we go again would book through Untamed Safaris.

Untamed Safaris exceeded our expectations.
This has been our third safari with Untamed Safaris. I could simply stop here as this fact should confirm our satisfaction with the consultation, professionalism and delivery of three excellent safaris. Two years ago we thought about a safari in Africa. Ryan Kendall and Untamed Safaris was recommended by a professional colleague who had engaged them previously. We visited Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kruger and most recently Kenya and Tanzania focusing on Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire NP. The first two trips were on a scheduled safari with a small group. Very well coordinated good guides, lodges and meals. The most recent trip we decided to take up Ryan's suggestions of a Private Tailor Made Safari. The consultative process, coordination and delivery was at another superior level. We so appreciated Ryan's advice. We enjoyed these safaris so much that we have already commenced planning for our next adventure.

A Flawless First Safari Experience
This was our very first trip to Africa, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience organised by Untamed Safaris. Ryan was recommended to us and immediately stood out for his efficiency and professionalism. Despite booking quite late in the season (after being told by other operators that it would be impossible to secure accommodation), he managed to confirm every lodge for us within just one day.
From start to finish everything ran like clockwork. Transfers were seamless, the vehicles were spotless, and the drivers, guides and trackers were all knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The accommodation Ryan suggested exceeded all of our expectations – every lodge was beautiful with excellent facilities and service. The safari itself was absolutely unforgettable. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, as well as many other animals up close, and each game drive was an exciting and well-organised experience.
Ryan’s advice and knowledge made planning so easy and stress-free. We would not hesitate to recommend Untamed Safaris to anyone planning a safari or trip to Africa!

Personable boutique service
Ryan couldn't have been better to work with. From the first contact to going on the trip Ryan was always available to answer any questions and went through the itinerary completely. We went on the 12 day Botswana /Zimbabwe tour and the properties and experience couldn't have been better. The properties Untamed Safaris use the Desert&Delta Group were all outstanding. LeRoo La Tau in the Makgadikgadi Pans, Camp Xakanaxa in Moremi , Xugana Island Lodge in the Okavango Delta , and Chobe Game Lodge in Chobe.We highly recommend Untamed Safaris to anyone.
