Words cannot describe how much I thoroughly enjoyed our time together. It was truly an amazing trip. Kimberley Safari Tours is the ONLY company that anyone should consider when visiting the Kimberley or the Western Coast of Western Australia.

Gloria
I had the most wonderful trip.  It was my first time in the Kimberley and I reckon the region must be one of the best kept secrets in Australia!
The tour was well planned and our guides were ‘top notch’ in their attention to safety and care of the group, their patience and humour, & calm diplomacy in managing such a varied mix of individual needs.  Andy’s knowledge of the different places and view points was informative, sensitive & thoughtful, and I really appreciated his awareness of the indigenous perspective of places & events, not to mention his gifted musical talent & voice.  Dean’s personality, humour & support was engaging & appreciated by all.
I was also vey impressed with the variety of the meals, well balanced with fresh vegetables & fruit, and plenty of it too! Excellent planning and provision!
I have already spoken about the tour to friends.
Angelica and Calvin 
We're so glad that we overcome our fear of outback camping (our last one was in 1981!) and joined this tour. The scenaries especially the gorges and falls are simply amazing, and experiencing them in person is so much different and better from photos. Camping is part of the whole wonderful experience, and fun, making the tour price terrific great value. The meals and food were healthy (fresh), hot meals at dinners were often followed by desserts made from home recipes, and the apple crumble, cheese cake and damper were absolutely delicious.
Our tour leader Matthew is so passionate about Kimberley and his work, he knows everything about the places we visited, and he's a natural when it comes to helping and caring all along each walk and swim in the beautiful natural beauties. Every night, we'd be briefed about what we'd visit the next day, what to expect, what to bring and wear, how long would be the walk and how difficult. During each visit, he'd make sure everyone was safe, and all enjoyed. He'd cater for both fast and slow walkers by assigning his helpers to care for each group. We're also very lucky to have Simon and Hillary along with Matthew to help us. They're equally passionate, helpful, and multi-skilled.
All in all, a fabulous and most enjoyable experience- even for us who didn't know how to set up a tent at the start. Wonderful value too.

Paul and Leanne 
We can’t rate the tour, Andy and Dean and the entire family run business highly enough.

From the initial booking in 2019, the need to cancel in 2020 and eventually going in 2021, the entire process and communication from Matthew and Carmel was 2nd to none.

We would highly recommend Kimberley Safari Tours to anyone who wants to experience everything the region has to offer and more.

Andy and Dean went out of their way to accommodate everyone even those less mobile than others.

Any unforeseen hiccups were dealt with very professionally and with minimal impact.

We even went to extra places not listed on the itinerary, unbelievable!

Wayne and Lorraine 
Just to say we had a fabulous time on our recent tour with Joel and Grace !
They were excellent tour leaders - very enthusiastic and knowledgeable with Grace happy to chat and be so interested - she was a delight In the world generally I think Joel is an outstanding person and we felt very well cared for.
Getting to Mitchell Falls was a HUGE highlight and we thank you very much for getting us there with all your work behind the scenes
We have told everyone and anyone that will listen as to how good the trip was and wear our tops a lot!!
We will look at your trips next year for sure

Joy and Peter 
Joy and I thoroughly enjoyed the safari it was full of adventure, we are so happy to have completed a trip off the Kimberley and Gibb river road with your company. The itinerary and pace of the safari is certainly a great way to explore the Kimberly. Every place we went to was unique and had its own story. Loved all of them. It is scary to imagine the possible damage and cost that could occur if we did in our own 4wheel drive and caravan with all those corrugated roads. The trio of Grace, Joel and Dean were fantastic hosts who worked extremely hard to ensure everyone was well looked after. We were well catered for with the meals and were surprised at some of them (Eg apple crumble cooked on a campfire . Yummy !!! -Thanks Joel). They showed great patience and duty of care to ensure each of the places visited was done safely and at a pace to ensure everyone had the opportunity to explore and admire the Kimberley. We have some fantastic photos and memories . I thoroughly recommend Kimberley Safari Tours for anyone who would like to do a adventure in the Kimberly.

We have been contemplating the wording of this reply for a while as we grapple with the words to adequately describe our 15 day adventure. It was a journey that will be cherished for the rest of our lives. As you know we had more twists and turns of our itinerary and camp site hiccups, including our Covid lockdown, than a thriller novel.

Ron and Alison 
Our holiday on this KST tour could be described as a fantastic adventure more than a holiday it's hard to put into words the scenery we saw every day got even more spectacular The passion our tour leaders showed for the Kimberleys was amazing A big thank you to Andy Dean and Joel for making this adventure spectacular and something I will never forget Everything from camping food bus and making new friends was 11 out 10 thanks again KST and would highly recommend KST to anyone

Gary and Di 
Joel did an amazing job. He had everything thrown at him accept the kitchen sink and still managed to maintain that gorgeous smile. What a beautiful young man he has grown into. The day after our return he spotted us in Broome and made the effort to talk to us which proved to us how genuine he is. He is a credit to both of you and great ambassador for your business.
As a person who has spent a big portion of my life working in the bush I thoroughly enjoyed the diversion to Wyndham, Diggers Rest Station (running cattle I enjoyed my chat with Rod Durack) and Parry Lagoon.
As we have talked to other travellers, family and friends of our fabulous adventure with you they are constantly after your company name and we trust that we can generate more business for you into the future.
Wow, fabulous, awesome, character building we could go on. Thank you for giving us the opportunity of this once in a life time experience.

Andrew and Sue 
Firstly Sue & I would like to Thank You both for ensuring that our booking was so Professionally handled. Especially understanding the difficulties we All experienced in 2020. I would also point out how Grateful we All were that you managed to get approval for us to be able to go to Mitchell Falls. It was an Amazing experience. Every day we enjoyed so many wonderful experiences with a Great group of people. What a Beautiful Natural Area The Kimberly's are. It certainly is God's Country. We also fell in love with Broome.

Sue & I had totally enjoyed the Tour. Something we had wanted to do for such a long time. I would also highlight the the incredible work Joel & Grace put in to ensure that our experience was so memorable. Nothing was too much trouble for both of them. Anything that was needed was addressed immediately. The Meals were exceptional. Their Customer Service was outstanding. You must be very proud of both your son Joel & Grace. The whole trip went very smoothly and safely.

Again Thank You for providing us All an experience we will never forget. A sensational experience.

We have highly recommended you to the RAA at Tea Tree Plaza in Adelaide and our friends.

Julie and Graham 
What can we say? There were so many highlights to this trip and unexpected challenges too but that made it all the more exciting. Not only did it meet our expectations, it exceeded in so many ways.
Joel and Grace were the epitome of how a team should operate and their professionalism, knowledge, excitement, humour and enthusiasm every new day was so very appreciated. They worked incredibly had to make our journey the best it could be. Within a day we all pulled together like a “well oiled machine” and our group joined together on the daily tasks, often not being asked and just seeing what need to be done and doing it. After 15 days together many new friendships have been made.
Family and friends have asked what were the highlights but there were so many and I can honestly say, every day was a highlight.
Mitchell Falls probably was one of the big moments and actually getting there and experiencing it’s magical beauty was pretty special. Tunnel Creek was pretty special too.
We are both so grateful to you Matthew and Carmel for your warm and informative communications over the past couple of years and for your personal commitment to us.
You both should be very proud of Joel and Grace. They are a credit to you and Kimberley Safari Tours.

Jenny 

I am so pleased that I managed to get onto the KST trip recommended to me by my friends. It truly was an adventure to remember. I loved Broome and Kimberley and will certainly be back. I was impressed with Andy and Dean's amazing patience, humour and all round skills. Everything was well organised while feeling relaxed. I will certainly recommend KST to others.

Niamh 

I did the Kimberley Outback tour for 15 days. Everyday was somehow even better than the last, with two incredibly talented and fun guides Andy and Dean. I like to travel a lot and this is one of my favourite things I have ever done! At the end of the trip , we all felt like one big family. The sights of the Kimberley are incredible, unique and breathtaking! Then I extended the trip and did 14 day Broome to Perth Coastal Tour. This went through the Pilbara and Gascoyne areas. Karijini National Park was a highlight. Doing both together showed me how incredibly vast and different the WA landscape can be. After 29 days sleeping in a tent, I can honestly say that the setup that Kimberley Safaris have makes it so easy and so comfortable and I had a great night sleep every night under a canopty of stars. Could recommend it more! 5 Billion Stars!!!!

Bill and Joy 

We had an unbelievable trip through the Kimberley on the 16 day adventurer. We felt that your tour was excellent value for money. We saw and did everything that other tours offered ( generally at double your price) and we all felt we saw and did much, much more than these other companies. The food was unbelievable , always fresh and plentiful and we really enjoyed the camaraderie of helping with the preparation. Putting up our own tents was absolutely no imposition. We are left with so many invaluable memories. Our sincere thanks.

Graeme and Angela 

We had an fantastic holiday, or should I say Adventure! It took us out of our daily comfort zone to enjoy camping and bush walking experiences in wonderful gorges and landscapes of The Kimberley. We even became accustomed to the corrugated roads. The trip was well organised including booking and communications, the camping sites, fresh good food and the well planned itinerary. Communication and information on locations, walks and indigenous culture from the staff was excellent. Andy's singing and guitar playing around the campire at night was a highlight. We would fully recommend the Adventure to anyone who wants a different experience in a wonderful part of WA.

Anne and John 

An absolutely fabulous trip into a unique part of Australia. We could never have explored the Kimberley without KST's expertise. Andy and Dean were just the best - even with my dietary requirements. Walking in unique scenery , swimming under the waterfalls, stunning rock art, camp fires, great food and sleeping under the stars, wat more could one want? An unforgettable experience.

Diane and David 

We had a fantastic holiday and haven’t stopped telling anyone we can what a wonderful group yours is. I feel this was due to the excellent organising done as a background to the trip and the helpful way all our questions were answered. Matthew and Mark were excellent tour leaders. Great leadership abilities and taking everything in their stride. Always patient. The knowledge of the area, of Aboriginal beliefs and artwork, the interaction with us all and the cooking ( !) could not be surpassed. I think the choice of camping was so much better than other options, as it brought us closer to nature, which is always very healing, bringing us away from our everyday life. Being out of contact ( with the possibility of that contact if needed) of mobile phones etc gave a sense of freedom as did the lack of mirrors and hairdryers. There were so many highlights, and we will never forget our time away.

Sara 

Thank you for a wonderful trip in the Kimberley. Getting the wide expansive majestic sense of the country and the millions of stars for two weeks was amazing, something to keep hold of while living in suburbia. What a treat being able to get to beautiful wild gorges and other places and NOT having to drive on those roads/ equip myself for the journey! I also enjoyed getting a little more taste of indigenous culture and history with a visit to Yiyili, rock art , learning about Jandamarra and a little taste of pastoralists life with Durack history, Ellenbrae stay. Great to meet other people and spend 2 weeks together. So relaxing not having to make any decisions and knowing I was in very good hands. The Kimberley holds a special place in my heart now, too. Thank you!

Aileen 

What a fantastic trip, so well organised and led by two great guys in andy and Dean : all with a smile. We had a wonderful group of characters, literally so much fun and so many laughs. I got the accolade for tent pitching and Dean for the cheese cake. The Kimberley is such a magnificent part of our great country and I am so thrilled to have had the opportunity to experience all the moods of life in the Kimberley. So many memories to ponder and enjoy.

With Gratitude.

Kathryn 

Thank you Kimberley Safari Tours - I had the best time. Both Tim and Andy were very patient and I dont think that I have laughed so much in a 2 week period, and the other tour members were fantastic, caring and inclusive. The Kimberley is an amazing place. I am so glad I chose your tour group - very personalised and supportive. I enjoyed the plentiful food and treats. The best tour I have been on in Australia.

Kate and Carolyn 

Wow where do I start - what an amazing holiday. Thankyou Carmel and Matthew. Our holiday exceeded all our expectations. Of course the mind blowing scenery, the magic that is the Kimberley. Each day was better than the last. But we would like to give credit to your fabulous team. Thank you for an amazing holiday and putting us in such caring hands.

Donna and Alex 

 We had an amazing time. Very relaxed with having on cares to worry about. Mattew took the worry out of everything. Limited phone coverage has its advantages also. Everything was perfect. We were fed very well. food was amazing. Without Matthew's experience and knowledge of the area, we would have never known that a lot of these unique places existed. We also had such a great bunch of folk to enjoy this experience with. Thank you for all for all your hard work.

Janette and Woody 

Janette and I would just like to put on record our appreciation for a fantastic tour organised for us by Kimberley Safari Tours. A tour of this area has been on our bucket list for years and we are glad we chose your tour as it ticked all the boxes for us. Andy and Marty ensured everyone on the trip enjoyed the best possible experience one could hope for. Their safe driving, guidance, cooking and music all contributed to a most memorable experience that will be indelibly inscribed in our memory for eternity.

Debra and Conrad 

The tour was absolutely fantastic and every day was picture postcard perfect. It was a wonderful group with continual fun and laughter. Andy was sensational and I admired his lay back attitude especially when the tyre was completely shredded.  A truly magnificent holiday. Highly recommended.

Ralph and Patti 

Our 16 day tour with Kimberley Safari Tours was an outstanding experience in every way . It became clear very early into the tour, that Matt's main aim was to ensure every guest had the best experience possible and that we shared his infectious passion for the Kimberley Region, ably assisted by Chris.

Our 16 day adventure was filled with stunning scenery that only the Kimberley can offer. Interesting walks  most rewarded with a refreshing swim in a beautiful waterhole, challenging roads, lots of laughter, some camp oven culinary delights and an authentic camping experience without the hardships. It's hard to identify highlights, as every day was a unique experience.

And while we were all enjoying this unique experience, Carmel was working hard in the background troubleshooting and managing the day to day challenges that the roads such as the Gibb River Road are bound to throw at you. Right from the beginning, her friendly helpfulness and attention to every detail made the booking process very easy and left no questions unanswered.

Ros 

I have just completed a 14 day Kimberley Outback Safari with Andy, Richard and Sandro. What an amazing trip, a long time dream to travel the Gibb River Road. Not only did I get to experience those must see icons: The Bungle Bungles, The Pentecost River  Crossing, Mitchell Falls, Tunnel Creek and Windjana Gorge, but also got to see so much more of this beautiful and still isolated part of Australia. Andy's passion for the area and its people certainly added to the experience and my sister and I loved the bush camping, campfires and stunning scenery. I chose this tour because it offered me an experience as near to what I would do if I was able to drive it myself and I have certainly not been let down. I loved the walks, swimming beneath waterfalls, the helicopter ride into the Mitchell Falls , Geikie Gorge, Boab Trees and stunning river crossings, not to mention wonderful meals in which everyone had a hand. Thank you for fulfilling another bucket list moment.

Dympna 

Wow. What a wonderful holiday Kimberley Safari Tours provided for me. I haven't stopped praising your company since I arrived home. Every day was a highlight.

Gill 

If you are a single, female traveller wishing to explore and experience the majesty of the Kimberley region. I have no hesitation in recommending Kimberley Safari Tours. This family owned and operated company will certainly not disappoint with their expert attention to detail and professional, yet personable service. Thank you so much Carmel, Matthew, Andrew and Brodie. It was evident your commitment towards carrying out excellent small group service provided me with an experience I will now never forget. The 16 day Adventurer was filled with many' firsts'. First for the company, the group and myself which I feel very blessed to have been part of. As each day passed, I soon realised this 'adventure' was only enhanced by travelling with Kimberley Safari Tours. Every day truly became better and better than the one before , a magical journey under a canopy of brilliant stars.

Patsy 

I have just completed a 16 day tour with Kimberley Safari Tours. My experienced were not only joyous and momentous but heartfelt and emotional. Every day I was exposed to beauty that filled my heart with love and joy. I would travel with them anywhere with complete trust. Kimberley Safari Tours are a well oiled machine in all aspects of their operation. I would recommend them to anyone wanting an experience of a lifetime.

Jen 

My Kimberley trip could not have been better! I thoroughly loved it. Andy and Brodie were amazing, to the point they were two of the best guides I've ever had. We had a fantastic group, magic campfires, great food, and of course the added bonus of Andy's guitar serenades. All in all, a truly fantastic trip.

Karen and Richard 

Thank you Matthew for being a great tour leader - your love for your work is very apparent and we thank you for all the care you gave us. We liked the route that our tour took by going along the Great Northern Highway first and then down the Gibb River Road. This gave us a chance to become used to the vehicle on the bitumen before going on the rough roads and also to the routine of the trip and camping before going to the more remote areas.

We liked the variety of activities, great food, camping under the stars ( we always slept without the fly on our tent and could look up at the stars), swimming in the gorges, views from the helicopter flights and the friendly people on our tour, The images of the Kimberley will remain with us for the rest of our lives - that first evening with the wonderful light and stunning reflections in Geikie Gorge, combined with our first meeting with freshwater crocodiles, was a fantastic introduction to the Kimberley and to the wonders that followed each day.  We would definitely recommend Kimberley Safari Tours to anyone who wanted to experience  the Kimberley and liked camping and hiking.

Rae

What a brilliant tour this was, it’s great to travel to a place where you can still experience the rawness and splendour of Nature relatively untouched.

It was lovely to travel with a small group where we all contributed in the duties of the camp each day, and everyone interacted so well together. The meals and camp oven cooking were great, especially with the added bonus of Deborah’s Belgian treats.

This was my first experience of travelling with a tour group, and I loved it for the small size of the group, the daily hikes up spectacular gorges and swims in crystal clear pools, visits to aboriginal rock art and community schools, the vastness of the night sky viewed through the fine mesh of our tents minus their outer fly. We couldn’t have reached these magical places in a conventional vehicle, even if we knew where to find them.

Thanks Matt for being so flexible and accommodating, for your local knowledge, particularly of aboriginal sites and respect for their cultural traditions……and thanks Carmel for your ongoing communication with information and suggestions prior to the trip.

Overall, a fantastic experience, Thanks, Rae.

Liz

This has been an extraordinary experience and I have appreciated your easy manner and generous demeanor the whole trip.

Maggie

Appreciate your willing capable helpfulness no matter what the request.

Heather 

This trip has been a valuable time for me one of grounding, return to nature and escape from city life. Thanks for all of your hard work and delightful company.

Anna

Kimberley Safari tours, what a fabulous adventure they took us on. The attention to detail was amazing. 4 star camping.

Helen 

The tents were great, fine netting let me be with the brilliant night sky.
