This truly was the trip of a lifetime! It was my first trip with Emily, and it certainly won't be my last. Every detail from the thoughtfully planned itinerary to our incredible accommodations and knowledgeable guides was exceptional. Emily made the entire experience feel effortless, ensuring everything ran seamlessly while also taking the time to connect with each person in the group. An African safari had always been at the top of my bucket list, and thanks to Emily, this adventure exceeded every expectation I had. I couldn't have imagined a better experience. I wholeheartedly recommend traveling with Emily, and I'm already looking forward to my next adventure with her.

Wow, wow, wow! 🤯❤️ Where do I even begin with this one? Twenty-one trips with The Wanderlust Rose, and just when I think I’ve seen it all, I’m left even more amazed. This adventure was truly one for the books. From Botswana to Zimbabwe to Zambia, every single day was unforgettable. We spent our days completely off the grid, immersed in the wild, camping in the bush, sleeping under the stars with no tent, and waking up to the sounds of Africa. Countless safaris brought some of the most incredible wildlife encounters I could have ever imagined, and every day somehow managed to top the last. The laughter, the friendships, the memories, and those moments that make time stand still… all leading to the breathtaking beauty of Victoria Falls. 🌈 I will never be able to thank Emily and Tessa enough for the love, hard work, and passion they pour into every trip. Thank you for creating adventures beyond my wildest dreams and for making dreams I never even knew I had come true. My heart is so incredibly full. Africa, you’ve left your mark on me once again! ❤️🦁

Another 5 star trip !! The upgrades to the Tanzania trip were so perfect. We had beautiful “glamping” stays, delicious food, and absolutely insane safari experiences. The trip is perfectly set up with enough time in all the different parks. Emily and Tessa never disappoint and always provide the best group trips. Will always be a happy member of this community!!

Botswana has left me speechless! Could not have dreamt up this experience in my wildest of dreams! Every game drive brought something unforgettable…leopards snacking on a kill, 14 hippos trying to ward us away with their mouths opening and closing, wild dog puppies pulling their mom’s tail …all with the beautiful African background that seemed our own…just 2 safari jeeps 🫰 This trip was off grid, remote, no cell service, camping in tents and under the stars, showering underneath the Milky Way … it was refreshing, peaceful and grounding. Emily and Tessa, Maria and Chris and the entire Kalahari Breeze team were AMAZING. They have a passion for travel, community, animals, service that you can see in every detail! This was a discovery trip, but hope they do this trip again to bring more people to this BEAUTIFUL country!! Will cherish this trip and so many magical moments and heart to hearts shared with the most amazing groups of gals (and Guicho) for a lifetime! Cheers to more discovery trips! PS Highly recommend any helicopter or microlight options to see everything from the sky as well!

This was my first time travelling with Emily & my first African Safari, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Spotted all the big 5 with incredibly magical sightings of lions & leopards with a kill, endangered wild dog and their puppies, elephants, zebras, giraffes and more. Really enjoyed the wild camping (the partner safari team - Kalahari breeze was amazing) & overnight in the salt pans. Would highly recommend & excited for future safaris.
