"BUYER BEWARE!!! This company has a policy that if THEY cancel your trip…THEY get to keep your money and you get a credit the company. They cancelled my first trip..found out the hard way about their policy. Booked a trip…then had left over money so booked another…which they cancelled…again. Surprisingly…this time they offered a refund, but only gave me back the money I had put down…not what was left of “my credit”. So now I am forced to do business with a company I no longer wish to, that picks and chooses when to follow their own policy!! There are plenty of other travel agencies with similar tours…don’t give these guys your hard earned money for them to keep."

What travelers are saying

"I am a 43 year old Indian male who loves to travel, likes to read and research places and would love to be treated with dignity and respect which he deserves. This is my review of the 4 days- historic Scotland tour that I took with star tours in Wembley, London from 18-21st July'23. I and my wife boarded from Wembley. We started on a bad note. I had initially requested for a Watford pickup but later when I changed it to the origin point (Wembley), I was asked to pay an admin fee of GBP 15 per head (they later asked for only GBP15). I mean, why would you ask for extra money when I am coming all the way to the origination point and saving you the hassle to pick and drop me at some other location? Bottomline- please read all the fine prints. Let's talk about the tour- This is a great tour if a) you are an indian or of an indian origin b) you are very particular about indian food c) you would prefer company of only fellow indians (and I say this as an indian with utmost respect) This is not a great tour if a) you would like to have a knowledgable tour guide who actually knows about the route, the places, the history b) you are genuinely interested in the places you visit c) you would like to be treated with courtesy and respect that you deserve after paying 400 pounds per person d) you would like some music on the tour ( the bluetooth speakers did not work and the guide had to use his phone and put the microphone near his phone speaker) The tour representative/guide Shaji Vethody was so frustratingly naive and disrespectful that at one point of time I actually volunteered to take the passengers through the history and significance of places that we were paying to visit. He allowed that once but I guess he became insecure later and did not allow it citing safety reasons. His overall attitude was like "you are a bunch of fellow Indians and I would expect you to be only concerned about theplas and bhujias and antakshari, I don't really expect you to be either knowledgable or inquisitive. If you do ask me to do my job then I am within my rights to shut you off in a disparaging manner". If this is how we treat each other then I do not expect the foreigners to treat us any differently. I really regret choosing this tour on this account as I am very particular about knowing and understanding the significance of places that I visit on a tour. The food was decent but the tone of this gentleman and his overall attitude bordered on the disrespectful in my opinion. At one point even the British driver said something about India with a racist overtone (When the passengers objected, Shaji had a word with him and then apologized on his behalf) About the points of visit- the itinerary http://bookings.startours.co.uk/Tour/04-Days-Historic-Scotland#MarkersMapCanvas felt like a typical tick mark exercise without someone to guide us but it was still entertaining The hotels were comfortable but very far from the city center. Btw The food was Indian and delicious. Overall I would not recommend this tour if you are an actual travel buff."

What travelers are saying

"A Travesty of Trust - Beware of andBeyond Travel & Ryan Powell! I feel compelled to share my deeply frustrating and incredibly disappointing experience with andBeyond Travel, a company I once considered reputable and trusted for providing premium travel experiences. My trust was shattered when they displayed an appalling lack of professionalism and a sense of entitlement to our money. AndBeyond’s business practices during a period of crisis has forced me to caution fellow travelers to BEWARE OF ANDBEYOND and the hidden pitfalls of dealing with andBeyond Travel. My husband and I had planned an extensive trip with andBeyond, costing a considerable $31,580. We paid $7,588 by bank transfer and $23,992 by credit card. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the cancellation of all flights to South Africa and andBeyond closing all their camps led to the cancellation of our trip. During this tumultuous time, andBeyond offered us a deferment for a period of a year to a later date, without considering our preference for a refund. Due to the uncertainty of the future, we decided that we wanted to rebook when we felt comfortable and confident about traveling again. This unscrupulous behavior didn't end there. Once they had our money, they seemed determined to hold onto it, no matter the cost. Our dispute with the charges led us to approach Citibank, which after careful review, decided that andBeyond had no right to retain our money. They provided us with a full refund for the $23,992 we paid by credit card standing as a bulwark against andBeyond's subsequent attempts to reclaim the funds. from Citibank. However, the company, in a blatant disregard for our concerns, refused to refund the $7,588.00 that we had paid through bank transfer. With the pandemic now behind us I proposed to andBeyond that they permit us to utilize our money for future travels, given that we had received absolutely nothing in return for our payment of $7,588. This proposal was met with yet another refusal. It felt like our money was being held hostage, with us left helpless. Throughout the process of planning this trip, we were under the assurance of Jomandie Dempers, who convinced us that we were dealing with a trustworthy company. However, our actual experience was in stark contrast to this assurance. The way andBeyond handled the situation showed anything but reputability. In this day and age, where consumer reviews guide our choices and purchases, I feel it's my duty to alert others about this horrendous experience. Proceed with caution if you consider booking with andBeyond Travel. Their actions reflect a significant breach of trust, and a gross disregard for their customers' rights, comfort, and peace of mind. Be warned - don't let them ruin your travel dreams as they did ours!"

What travelers are saying

"We booked a National Geographic expedition Holland and Belgium by River. The promotional literature promised a 14-day deposit refund window. The “invoice” was marked “non-refundable” deposit. We completed the National Geographic Traveler Information. About 8 days later we received the “Travel Agreement” to be signed. We both approved and signed the National Geographic documents. A Cruise Line Travel agreement was enclosed but had no signature line. This document contained language which was unacceptable. We submitted the signed NatGeo documents. The following day we canceled the trip due to the unacceptable Cruise Line language. Cancellation was made 12 days after booking and no deposit was returned. We were told on the phone that the refund deadline was triggered by the 14 day window OR signatures on the Travel Agreement which ever came first. This was NEW information. To date, we have received NO refund of our $1000. We cancelled our trip within the advertised 14 day window."

  • Group size can make a difference on an African safari; with fewer passenger vehicles, you’ll have more flexibility to go and find wildlife.
  • High season in East Africa begins in January and runs through September, but from March-May heavy rains may make the roads impassable and force some lodges to close.
  • In the Serengeti, the best times to go are July-September for the annual noisy wildebeest stampedes, and again in January-March for the annual migration calving.
  • In Botswana’s Okavango Delta, June-August brings flood waters and the animals with them.
  • When choosing a safari operator, consider the types of lodging offered: Accommodations can range from luxurious lodges to tent camping.
  • You might choose lodging by its proximity to the park and its sweeping views, or opt for less expensive tented camps and cottages farther away.
  • Interested in experiencing Victoria Falls? Many East and Central African safari tours also include this nearby natural wonder, situated between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
