Valentina was so helpful providing recommendations as we customized our itinerary. She helped us find a local operator that could guide us the whole time across both Kenya and Tanzania. The guides were friendly and took great care of us. The food on the mountain was delicious, to our surprise. And we love the company's focus on sustainable tourism and enduring porters are treated ethically read less

She was always quick to respond, flexible when it came to making adjustments to the trip or schedule, and helpful in getting us the best deals while still ensuring an ethical and safe adventure.

Fair Voyage coordinated all of our accommodations and, while we were working on a budget, we were always amazed at how great each place we stayed at was. We did a seven-day Kilimanjaro trek (Rongai Route, which I highly recommend) and a five-day safari afterward. Both adventures were successful and everything we hoped for.

I was skeptical of making payments to an international company for a trip in Africa, but the payment portal provided by Fair Voyage was reputable and easy-to-understand. It also allowed us to pay for portions of the trip at different times.

Fair Voyage’s approach at making sure the porters and guides you work with are treated in an ethical and responsible manner made us rest easy knowing that we picked the right company. I would highly recommend working with Fair Voyage (and particularly Alex) for your trip to Tanzania! read less

There is no way our group would have made it to the summit without the expertise, knowledge, and professionalism of the entire crew of guides, cooks and porters. They made sure we were happy, healthy, and never hungry. I would highly recommend this crew and company for other people looking to check this amazing bucket list item off your list. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I promise you will never forget. read less

The entire trip was exceptional! From the professionalism of Fair Voyage to the people (fellow hikers, guides, porters), food, accommodations, etc. I could not be more pleased with our experience! Thank you Fair Voyage!! read less

Many Western operators had lots of info on their websites but much higher prices for basically the same trip. Fair Voyage seemed to give us the best of both worlds. read less

My guides did an amazing job that made us feel safe all through the climbs. We did enjoyed our time on both Meru and Kilimanjaro. We are very happy to have summited both mountains but it is the whole experience with the guides and the porters that made it so special. We hope that by booking with a fair operator that we were able to make a difference for them.

Because Fair Voyage is an independent agency that do business only with local operators who subscribe to the fair treatment of carriers and whose quality standards are high, you know that booking through Fair Voyage will allow you to have a safe trip. You also have the certainty that you will get the lowest possible price since Fair Voyage represents a large number of potential travelers for local agencies.
In addition, because they are not affiliated with a specific operator, Fair Voyage is able to offer a more personalized approach and give unbiased advice when choosing a route.
In case of problems with the local operator, it is reassuring to know that Fair Voyage will be there to represent our best interest. Finally being able to send our funds to Switzerland rather than Africa to pay for our trip also represents additional security. read less

Amazing Staff & Service My friend and I had been planning to climb Kili... read moreMy friend and I had been planning to climb Kili for a few years and we finally did it in October 2018 with Fair Voyage. When we first started our research for a tour operator, it quickly became a daunting experience - there were a lot of options out there! One thing we learned was that we should only go with operators that follow fair porter practices. This search for an ethical climb is what led us to Fair Voyage. We reached out to Fair Voyage staff and they immediately responded to us (thank you Alex!) and walked us through our options (private tour/package options with Zanzibar etc.). Over the course of a few days, we exchanged several emails to narrow down dates/route and other details. I really appreciated their responsiveness and transparency. They were clear about the budget constraints, cost breakdowns and terms & conditions for cancellation policies. The payment experience via Fair Voyage was seamless - we were able to pay online with our US credit cards without any hassle. We also had the option to pay a portion upfront (30% deposit) and the rest later. Although we didn't end up booking Safari/Zanzibar with them, in retrospect I wish we had. Fair Voyage also connected us directly with the local tour operator company who were equally responsive and very helpful in accommodating for our needs.

Before the trip, we received a full detailed itinerary with a breakdown of what to expect each day and the recommended gear list and rental options. Our climb itself was great - thanks to the team of guides and porters who took care of us like family out there.

Fair Voyage reached out to us after our climb to congratulate us! They really care about their work and ensuring their customers are happy. All in all, a great experience! You're in safe hands 🙂

At the proposal stage, they quickly provided us with a proposed itinerary for a safari and Kilimanjaro trek that not only included a list of dates and activities, but also included the names of the safari lodges, little pictures of what we would see, and descriptions of what we would be doing each day, so that we could really imagine how the trip would be. We were considering a few different options for dates, and the order of our safari and trek, and FV helped us to play around with some of the dates to find the best itinerary to work with our schedule. Once we confirmed our schedule, FV connected us with the local operator and made sure that we received all of the information we needed. Alexandra at FV was very responsive and friendly, and answered all of the random questions that popped up. FV also made the payment process very simple, easy, and stress-free. It is difficult to plan a safari/Kilimanjaro trip, as it seems like there are infinite options and possibilities in terms of local operators. It was really wonderful to be able to rely on FV to help us find the best guides and accommodations, and to know that we were supporting businesses with a commitment to environmental sustainability and ethical treatment of employees. We would highly recommend them to anyone! read less
