Luxury family safari holidays, designed by experts.

Book with confidence.

We had the most wonderful holiday with Coral Tree. We were in Kenya to run a multi-day race and wanted a post run holiday to relax and unwind and explore the beautiful wildlife and Coral Tree put together the perfect package. We had time relaxing at Diani Beach which was lovely, and then back into the Masai to stay at the amazing Secluded Africa lodge and see all the incredible animals. Great accommodation and really friendly to deal with.

I've booked to go to Vic Falls, the Okovango Delta and the Kalahari with Coral Tree. I've been impressed with the care taken over my bookings, and the willingness to make sure my itinerary, which included a number of changes I asked for, was the right one for me. I'm now looking forward to the trip!

Mike's expertise and knowledge meant we had a truly wonderful experience on safari. The arrangements were carefully planned and organised around our requirements and everything went so smoothly. A perfect way to celebrate a successful ascent of Mount Kenya. Highly recommended!

We used Coral Tree for a trip to Uganda 2 years ago and we are back seeking Mike's expertise in Tanzania. For me this speaks volumes about how highly we value their knowledge and professionalism. Mike and Tess have lived and worked out there and so they can offer a personal take on lodges, parks, weather you name it!! Once again Mike put together an fantastic itinerary which we played around with a little but by version 2 we had everything we needed within our budget. We really couldn't fault them and would whole heartedly recommend to anyone looking to organise a trip to Africa. Counting the days now 🙂

I couldn't of asked for more from Cameron at Coral Tree. We are so thankful for his expert knowledge and personal contacts which has helped to plan our once if a lifetime safari trip. From our first contact Cameron has been very efficient, taking into consideration our complicated time scale and has managed to pull off a very impressive trip! We are very excited to say the least, thank you so much.

We are about to embark on a what's going to be a fabulous adventure - Safari trip to Kenya combine with beach holiday in Zanzibar.So far, all I have are praises for Coral Tree Travel, especially Charlie Potter, who was right from the first contact, very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Above all, Charlie LISTEN and deliver exactly what we asked for.We have travelled with other companies in the past, but Coral Tree is going to be are GoTo company. I hope that they have more Charlie's for other countries.Leaving in a few days, so watch this space.BACK FROM THE MOST AMAZING SAFARI HOLIDAY. Unfortunately, I don't have enough words and space to sing my PRAISES. Everything was perfect, the care, the places, the stuff, food, drinks, animals...ALL BRILLIANT.We shall go again next year. Thank you Coral Tree Travels.Vivien

Tailored advice

Mike has been very helpful in planning our special holiday. He took the time to listen to our requirements and tweak the itinerary to suit our needs perfectly. He has been very prompt and has worked with us to make us an itinerary that we are looking forward to.Having never experienced an African safari, the planning seems very daunting, but Mike has reassured us and walked us through the steps beautifully.

Excellent tailored service. Charlie was super helpful and understanding of our requirements.

I would highly recommend Coral Tree. Rosanna and Mike were so helpful when planning my Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach holiday. Very efficient and knowledgeable!!! Get yours booked 🙌

We have just booked a safari trip with Coral Tree Travel for our honeymoon and couldn’t recommend the team highly enough! Charlie was amazing, he took time to get to know us and understand what was important to us. His knowledge of the country and the animals was outstanding. He put together an itinerary that delivered everything we asked for and managed to keep it all within our budget. We were absolutely delighted with the service and we cant wait to go, knowing everything has been taken care of. Thank you Charlie & all the team.

An excellent service from start to finish. Mike was friendly, helpful informative and his expertise meant we have the perfect honeymoon lined up. We are so looking forward to our trip.

As a parent searching for a first safari for myself and my son, I have to admit that I didn't know where to start... I did some research, contacted a few travel operators but ended up feeling more confused than when I started. So I decided to search for a more family orientated trip and it was then that Coral Tree came up so I thought why not fill in the enquiry form..... And I am so happy I did! I had a conversation with Mike, the first of a few, and immediately felt at ease and more knowledgeable and informed on many aspects that I was previously worrying about. Mike gave me ideas of itineraries and options that I would never have thought about and I never felt rushed or like I was asking too many questions. I have now booked our dream holiday to Kenya and zanzibar with Coral Tree and we absolutely cannot wait! If you are a bit green when it comes to travelling, don't hesitate to contact Coral Tree, they are so so helpful. Roll on 2024!Fast forward 2 years and yes! Naboisho was everything and more than we could have hoped for.. we saw every animal we wanted and more, the Birdlife is extremely beautiful. These are just a few of the many photos my son has taken during our trip. Thank you again Mike , the whole experience and expertise from you was flawless.

Mike was brilliant the whole way through the process. Very knowledgeable, very responsive and organised us the honeymoon of a lifetime.

Charlie and Mike at Coral Tree Travel were amazing. Mike even had the courtesy of returning my emails from a flight he was on! Charlie was super helpful with a host of knowledge in Africa. He even knew some of the accommodation owners personally. Both Mike and Charlie were patient with my frequent and persistent questions and delivered a bespoke holiday that felt like it had a personal touch. Pricing was also very good, compared to some other quotes I had received. A very positive experience.

We're first-time safari goers, just returned from the most memorable two weeks of our lives; all made possible by Charlie at Coral Tree. From his initial patience with our many changes of itinerary to his fabulous attention to detail, everything just came together in spectacular fashion. The camps were each exceptional, Amalinda for the Rhinos, Sable Valley for the up close and emotional experience with elephants and John's Camp for the amazing day spent with Boswell the famous 'stand-up' elephant and in the afternoon an entire pride of 9 lions. Flights, transfers and organisation were faultless and we are enriched with so many new friends and wonderful memories. Can't wait for the next one.

Update to the initial comments below: we have just returned from our holiday to Tanzania, and I am delighted to confirm that the itinerary and arrangements made by Mike and Coral Tree Travel were exemplary. The choice of hotels (Gibb's Farm near Ngorongoro Crater, Oliver's Camp in Tarangire National Park, and Tulia in Zanzibar) was excellent, and made for a truly varied and memorable experience. The vital linking arrangements - multiple road and air transfers, and a wonderful personal guide from Asilia for 5 days - were also faultless. Mike was additionally happy to accommodate several modifications to the standard timing and transfer arrangements very efficiently, and also arranged memorable birthday celebrations at the various venues.In short, I cannot recommend Coral Tree Travel highly enough if you are looking for a personal yet professional 'turnkey' travel consultant to East Africa...------Although we have not yet started our holiday, just wanted to say that Mike has been very helpful indeed. We approached three operators with a detailed brief (we have been to East Africa several times) and were very impressed by the care he took to learn our requirements and preferences and come up with a creative and interesting itinerary while respecting our budget. He also made sone very valuable negotiations with hotels about check in/out to accommodate our inconvenient international flight times. We are looking forward to the trip very much, and with confidence that it will be a memorable one...

Just booked a very exciting 3 generation family vacation. Such a pleasure to work with Coral Tree, who patiently proposed places they have actually been to and recommend different options to ensure all of our needs are met, including variety of landscapes and experiences, transport and accommodation options, etc. The budget is hard to swallow for 1st time safari-goers and Coral Tree clearly took us through where all the costs go into so that we could create a budget our family was comfortable with, without compromising any of the experience. We can't wait for our travels!

I honestly cannot thank Charlie enough he has been so patient and considerate when going through the options for this holiday. It was very important we got this right as we may never do it again and when travelling with 3 young children I was conscious to make sure we had an itinerary that catered for us all and Charlie did not disappoint. He took the time to ensure everything was perfect and within our budget. We really appreciate all the help he gave us to arrange this Safari we are so excited to go!

As safari first-timers, travelling with kids, I wanted to find a company that had comprehensive knowledge of options that would suit family needs. Charlie at Coral Tree was very quick to respond to my initial enquiry, provided great advice and answers to my many questions and has put together an exciting itinerary for us.The partnerships and personal experience that Coral Tree have with local accommodation providers and safari guides gives peace of mind that we'll be well looked after in Kenya and Zanzibar. We're looking forward to our trip!

Our experience with Coral Tree Travel from the beginning has been perfect. Within 24hrs on contacting them we had a video call with Rosanna to discuss our thoughts on the holiday which was very quickly responded to with various options and prices for our family holiday. I would highly recommend Coral Tree for exciting family adventures. Tom & Kate

Rosanna has been extremely helpful, responsive and knowledgeable when organising my honeymoon. She really listened and was able to provide first hand experience and advice to make sure we have a trip of a life time! As a result, I would highly recommend Coral Tree Travel.

Rosanna and Mike have both been absolutely superb in helping me plan a very special family safari to South Africa. They have been very patient, extremely responsive and both really understood exactly what I wanted from the holiday; Nothing has been too much bother. Their knowledge of safari holidays and South Africa is extensive and has been invaluable. I really feel that Coral Tree understand the importance of making sure the holiday fits around my young children, whereas most other companies expect the children to fit around the holiday. They worked within our budget and I really feel that we have got excellent value for money. The whole experience has been very personalised and the service I can't fault. My family really can't wait until our holiday and I know that it will be a very special. I would highly recommend Coral Tree Travel and hope this isn't my last holiday with them! Thank you so much! Julia and family

Huge thanks to Charlie for making our first safari booking go so smoothly. He has been on hand to answer all of our questions and guided us with his knowledge. We highly recommend Coral Tree!

Rosanna has been so very patient, friendly and helpful in preparing an itinerary for a South Africa family holiday. We made a few iterations and I felt she really listened and understood my requirements and adapted the plan without question if I wanted to change something. I felt in good hands as she has experience of travelling to the area we booked to visit with her own family so she gave really useful tips and ideas.I feel really well looked after with Coral Tree pre-travel, and have a good feeling about their support when we get to our destination from the information they have provided.

Most importantly Mike listens to one’s personal requirements and aspirations, and then works hard to deliver on budget using his extensive knowledge and experience of East Africa. He responds quickly to queries and Coral’s presentation of itineraries is second to none. Mike has done a fine job. Very highly recommended.

Rosanna was brilliant with us when choosing a safari - full of knowledge and great ideas and very patient with all my questions - thanks Rosanna!

We would not hesitate to use Coral Tree Travel again. Rosanna Pile has been truly amazing in organising our holiday to Kenya. Nothing has been to much for her and has always been at the end of the phone for any queries. Everything has been organised for us immaculately . Thank you Rosanna and Coral Tree Travel.

Merci infiniment à l'équipe de Coral Tree Travel pour l'organisation de mon voyage en famille. Votre disponibilité, et réactivité me conforte dans mon choix de vous confier l'organisation de cet instant unique.Au vu des échanges et de la manière dont nous avons construit se voyage ensemble, je suis convaincu que ce moment organisé avec gout et professionnalisme.Un merci spécial à Tess et Rosanna !!!Vivement Juillet !!!

Fabulous service from Mike at Coral Tree Travel. He took on board all our thoughts/preferences and gave us excellent advice and suggestions for accommodation and activities during our zoom chats. We ended up with a perfect itinerary incorporating 4 nights in a tented camp in Kenya followed by a week on the beach in Zanzibar. Our family of four, including children aged 12 and 17, cannot wait to go. I feel very confident that all the necessary arrangements will be made and our complex itinerary will all go smoothly when the time comes. Thank you Mike and Coral Tree Travel.

Charlie and Mike went above and beyond to make our booking experience smooth and easy. We booked our very special holiday and were advised all the way from flights, hotels, safaris and even the correct clothing. I would recommend Coral Tree Travel to anyone I know. Thanks to everyone involved.

Highly recommend booking a trip through Coral Tree Travel. Mike and his team have a highly tailored and personalised approach to planning incredible safari holidays. We went on a trip to Kenya & Zanzibar through Coral Tree this year and have already booked our next trip with them!

Mike is really responsive and patiently deals with all manner of questions and queries. With two children who have additional needs booking a safari via Mike has enabled us to feel confident that the children will cope with the holiday as will we as parents so we can now all focus on having a great time.

Charlie has been absolutely brilliant in helping us to plan for our honeymoon next year. He is very knowledgeable and we’re really looking forward to our time in Tanzania! Booking with Coral Tree has helped put our minds at ease and reduced our to-do list greatly! Thank you so much! Amelia and Louis

Our experience with Coral Tree Travel has been absolutely superb! My fiancé and I have dreamed of going on safari as part of our honeymoon, and the team at Coral Tree have made this a reality. When initially thinking about our trip we spoke to both an independent one-man-band high street travel agency and one of the luxury travel companies, and neither came close to the service delivered by Charlie at CTT.He made the whole experience so easy - listening carefully to what we were looking for, providing an exciting range of options within our budget, detailing all the pros and cons of each option (which we found incredibly helpful as newbie-safari-goers) and was prompt and clear in all of his responses. Every question and tweak to the itinerary felt like no problem at all, and in the end we had created a honeymoon that we both were absolutely buzzing with excitement about.Thank you so much to Charlie and the team at Coral Tree Travel - you're true experts in safari holidays both for families and honeymooners! A & S

We could not recommend Mike and the team at Coral Tree Travel highly enough. Experts at what they do and the service they provide is second to none! Personable, relaxed and understanding of every question we asked, no matter how small. Booking our honeymoon is probably the most important holiday of our lives and there's no one I'd trust more. We're so excited for our trip, thank you Mike!

We have settled on a South African adventure with Coral Tree Travel to celebrate my sons 30th Birthday next year. I’d come across them by chance whilst doing some research online and would recommend them highly.Charlie has put together the most amazing, bespoke trip to Cape Town, Kruger and Victoria Falls, just for us. Nothing has been too much trouble and we have been communicating via WhatsApp and email as well as all patching in to a video call which was great to share, and air and to meet Charlie (which they don’t get to do in ‘Charlie’s Angels’) 😉.We will leave another review on our return.

We could not have been happier with the service we received from Charlie and Coral Tree Travel. He listened to our requirements and delivered a trip that was beyond our expectations. I will not hesitate to recommend them and hope to use them ourselves again soon.

I had been scouring the internet to find quality travel providers for a family safari holiday. Believe me I had contacted a good few! I stumbled across Coral Tree and I'm so glad I did. Mike has been incredibly helpful and nothing has been too much trouble. He was very knowledgeable without being pushy and managed all my little quirky requests with good humour. I feel that after weeks of "finalising" we have the holiday of a lifetime that we were looking for and I cannot wait to go. I'll review the trip once we return. 🙂

We've just returned from Tanzania and Zanzibar arranged by us by Mike at Coral Tree Travel. This is a hands-on company, we would say the real deal. Mike clearly knows East Africa well and also how to make the most of a holiday there. We can confidently recommend Coral Tree Travel. They are honest, reliable and personally available to answer questions at all times!! As the holiday went on, we realised what a good job Mike had done. The places he recommended for us were just what we wanted. He listened and delivered. We're already looking at where to go to in Kenya next year ... with Coral Tree.Thanks Mike and well done!!

We have just booked our first family safari to Botswana through Rosanna at Coral Tree. Rosanna could not have been more helpful. Her vast knowledge of Africa in general but in particular her first hand experience of family safari meant that she was confidently able to answer all our questions and we had great confidence in her advice. Would highly recommend booking through Coral Tree if you are travelling with kids and would like a bespoke safari experience.

Just booked my trip with Coral tree, they were really helpful and understanding of my wishes. Charlie was really understanding and I feel like he tailored made my tripThanks

Mike Kelly has been incredibly helpful and efficient - we are very grateful.

Mike was brilliant helping us organise our honeymoon. He worked around our budget and planned our ideal holiday. He took all the stress out of it. I can't recommend them highly enough to anyone looking to book a safari holiday!

Mike was full of knowledge and worked hard to find us the perfect option! We booked a luxury honeymoon safari with him and can’t wait to go to the Masai Mara straight after our wedding 😍

As inexperienced Safari travellers we knew it would be better to use a reputable company to help organise our holiday. One of our party was not keen on going at all but after a long zoom call where all questions (no matter how trivial) were answered and worries swept away we are now going to Africa for the first time. Mike at Coral Tree was helpful, informative, understanding and patient. He knows his safaris and was so supportive in tailoring the right kind of trip for our family. If you are thinking of a safari and not sure where to start, get in touch with Coral Tree Travel. It will save you time and sleepless nights. I will leave another review when we get back from out trip.

Our holiday in Masai Mara, Kenya was organised by Coral Tree Travel, a UK based company. My wife found an article in the Sunday Times about Safaris to Africa and a review of the company. They were a company highly recommended by the Times.Our initial point of contact was Rosanna Pile from Coral Tree Travel. After many emails and several phone calls, we decided to go for a single destination safari in Masai Mara, Kenya. The options were many. We wanted some advice on the destination, the weather, the type of safari, wildlife seen, etc. There was absolutely no pressure on us to book, and we took our time to make sure we were entirely happy. Safaris are, of course, not inexpensive, and naturally, we wanted to make sure of many things, including value for money. We were also taking our 11 year old daughter with us as a treat after her 11+ exams in the UK, and that was also a consideration.Communications with Coral Tree were excellent, and on many occasions, I was messaging Mike Kelly, the owner of the company, via WhatsApp. The response time was often in minutes! It was obvious that they had in-depth knowledge of the individual areas and camps and loved doing what they did.I was based in Qatar, and my family were in London, but we all flew from Doha. Apart from the flights to Nairobi from Qatar, they arranged everything else for us. Once we had booked, we had an in-depth schedule and online access to the entire holiday using an app. We had advice about visas to Kenya and vaccinations as well as advice about clothing and luggage. There was a lot of information about travelling as well as our holiday.From the moment we arrived in Nairobi to the time we left a week later, everything was sorted out. We were met at the international airport when we arrived and because we had a few hrs spare before our internal fight from Wilson airport to the game reserve, we were taken to an elephant orphanage as well as a Giraffe sanctuary in Nairobi. These were excellent mini excursions. We had a driver and transport throughout. The elephant orphanage trip was booked by Coral Tree in advance since you cannot just turn up and enter the orphanage.We were eventually taken to Wilson Airport, and we caught a flight on a small plane to the airstrip near our camp.My review on the &Beyond Kichwa Tembo Camp has been written separately due to the word count limit.Would I like to do a safari again one day? That would be a resounding, yes! Would I seek specialist advice from a company like Coral Tree if I had no local knowledge of the countries, areas, and camps? Again, I would say yes. There are many camps around the region and when you are committing quite substantial funds to such an adventure, then having people who really do know what they are taking about and frequently travel to these areas and camps in my opinion is the preferred option.

Rosanna at Coral Tree has been an absolute delight to deal with. She provided a number of options for our consideration which met all of our family’s requirements and our budget. We can’t wait to travel to Mauritius in a few weeks and enjoy our first family holiday since the pandemic. Would heartily recommend speaking to Rosanna and the Coral Tree team about your next family holiday.
