Excellent service from beginning to end of our trip
Our private family safari to Zimbabwe and Botswana could not have been more perfect. While it was not our first trip organized with Safari Online, this time we were traveling as a family of five, which made the experience even more special.
From the very beginning, Lindsey was a true pleasure to work with. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, offered thoughtful suggestions, and carefully designed an itinerary that turned into an unforgettable journey for all of us—one we will treasure for a very long time.
We received a detailed digital itinerary well in advance, with easy access to all the necessary information and documents, which only added to our anticipation. Everything then unfolded seamlessly, from flights and transfers to accommodations and activities. Each lodge we stayed at had its own unique charm, but the recommendation to end our trip at Evolve Back Gham Dhao Lodge in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve was truly the highlight of our trip.
What impressed us just as much was Lindsey’s exceptional support when our international flight was unexpectedly cancelled. Although this was far beyond her responsibilities, she went out of her way to reorganize our travel and ensured that we made it home on time. This level of care and commitment meant a great deal to us—many thanks, Lindsey.
We returned home with wonderful memories and a deep sense of gratitude. Should we plan another trip to Africa, we would not hesitate to turn again to Safari Online, and we would recommend their services without any hesitation to anyone seeking a truly exceptional safari experience.
Lindsay takes time to understand you and creates seamless unforgettable trips tailored just for you!
Planning a trip from Australia to South Africa with my 80- and 84-year-old parents felt overwhelming at first, as many travel agents didn’t fully understand our needs. That changed completely when we found Lindsay.
From the start, Lindsay understood exactly what we required—an itinerary with minimal walking and easy access throughout. She created a personalised trip based on our preferences, offered thoughtful alternatives and always stayed within our budget.
Travelling with elderly parents can be challenging, but Lindsay made it effortless. She organised suitable accommodation and tours, arranged mobility assistance for all our flights, ensured transfer drivers were aware of our needs and made sure our rooms were comfortable and accessible. Every detail was handled with genuine care.
What truly stood out was Lindsay’s personal touch—she even met us at the airport before our journey home to hear about our trip. By the end, she felt more like a friend than a travel agent.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lindsay to anyone and especially those travelling with specific needs.
Vaneshree was incredible! Helpful, professional, knowledgeable, and timely with responses!
Vaneshree was our travel agent and I could not have planned this trip without her! After planning for different dates and finally deciding on February she was very patient with me and was able to find me accommodation for the dates we needed in Cape Town and for our safari. A highlight was she recommended to us Tintswalo Atlantic which was truly like she said a hidden gem, highly recommend and thankful she booked it for us. She also helped us find a malaria free safari lodge, which was Impodimo game lodge in Madikwe game reserve. Another highlight of our trip!! We saw the big 5! She arranged for all of our transfers around Cape Town and from Johannesburg airport to the safari seamlessly. Any issues or questions we had she answered in a timely manner. When we go back we will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much Vaneshree! - Cristina & Chris from New York
Terrific job with transportation and lodging
The tour was managed beautifully and the places we stayed were terrific. The views and nearness to the animals was unforgettable. My only advice would be to limit the tour to 2 camps. We visited 4 and it was a lot of packing/unpacking and taking short flights.
A passionate and professional tour operator who customizes tours for you.
My wife and I returned recently from a safari trip arranged by Safari-online and we both enthusiastically tell our friends that this was the trip of a lifetime. We began planning in 2024 by working with our operator, Ilona Biagio. Ilona met with us twice by remote video calls. She took the time to get to know us and find out exactly what we like and know. She had questions for us and did not try to "sell' us a package before she figured out the perfect customized itinerary. I highly recommend to future customers that you begin your journey by meeting with the tour operator face-to-face. Ilona then put together two options and then considering what she knew about us, she guided us to the best option. One more thing: at some point she learned that 2025 was our 20th wedding anniversary, so at each destination, the camp staff did something special for us. We were truely touched. Thank you, Ilona!
Safari-Online works with Desert and Delta Safari tours. D & D Safari is also a highly professional team that made our experience rich and safe. The accomodations were over the top. The food was amazing. The staff are unforgettable.
Thank you, Safari-online and Desert and Delta
