Incredible Trip with Safari Partners again!
5/5

This was our second trip booked with Safari Partners and it did not disappoint! Thank you to Chris and his team in nailing what we were looking for on this trip! I can not say enough about the ease and organization of our holiday. Chris recommended the LEWA Conservancy and it was nothing short of magical! The fly in and out holiday was unforgettable. If you are thinking about a trip to Africa this is the company to book with.

Many kudos to Safari Partners who executed the perfect trip for us. We travelled from Rwanda to Uganda for a Gorilla trek, to two safaris in Kenya Samburu and Masai Mara then down to Cape Town and Franschoek. With so many parts to link together we were amazed that all transitions were seamless. Each person encountered was so fantastically helpful, friendly and welcoming. The accommodations were lovely and all but one (which was still ok and I loved the history of the place- Nairobi Fairmont) I would recommend.
It was reassuring Safari Partners were only a message away to help if needed (as we heard back promptly with an answer regarding over booking at the hotel in Kigali). We always felt we were with friends in a very beautiful but then unknown part of our incredible world. Thank you sincerely. I will continue to recommend Safari Partners as the agency to use.

Amazing tour of Kenya and Tanzania (Kiboko tour)
5/5

I am a 67-year-old woman who travelled solo on the two-week Kiboko tour offered by The Safari Partners. I'm very pleased to say the trip exceeded my expectations. Booking the trip was easy; the Nairobi airport pick-up was seamless; accommodation was always unique and in a few instances, unexpectedly luxurious; food was usually buffet style with a hot station for fresh omelets for breakfast/pasta for dinner'; all 'Safari' guides/employees were friendly and knowledgeable. The safaris themselves were incredible. Animals were everywhere and easily seen. In a few instances they were close enough to walk right beside our jeep - seven lions passed by so close I could have reached out and touched them. When I got back to Canada, several people asked me if I had felt safe. The question caught me off-guard as the issue of not being safe had never crossed my mind on the trip.
I never repeat a trip - been there, done that attitude - but for this trip I would make an exception and do it all over again.

An Outstanding trip of a lifetime for 3 generations.
5/5

Safari Partners provided my family with the trip of a lifetime that none of us will ever forget. From the moment we touched down in Johannesburg through our safari at Simbavati then onto CapeTown and finishing with a few days in the Winelands Safari Partners provided us with an outstanding experience in every respect. They arranged for great boutique accommodation that just kept getting better and better as the trip went along. It finished with perhaps the best resort hotel experience even the most experienced traveler has ever had with our stay in Babylonstonen.

This does not mean any of the other accommodations were less than outstanding and in fact they each were superlative in their own right. Of particular note was the time we spent on safari at Simbavati where we saw literally every animal it was possible to see over a three day period. This included lions (including cubs, lionesses as well as lions), elephants, rhinos, three different Leopards (normally you are lucky to see one), water buffalo, hippos, warthogs, wildebeast, springbok, impala, springbok and many others.

We had excellent guides in both Johannesburg and Capetown who went way beyond our expectations. Service at the hotels was outstanding, the meals uniformly both excellent and reasonably priced.

We cannot say enough positive things about our time in South Africa courtesy of Safari Partners and at the end we all want to come back to this beautiful land and its warm and wonderful people.

No follow up
3/5

A few mistakes in our flight itinerary, one of the hotels dropped the ball regarding transfers, had to be stressed out and contacted Chris he got back to us and said he would look into it. He said he would get back to us but never heard from him again. Chris never followed up after the trip either as we expected he might do to get our feedback or explain what happened. One of the hotels we stayed at was under construction. Things happen on holidays that are out of peoples control I get it but we feel with how things happened there would have been some follow up. We are well travelled and have done many private tours with follow up afterwards.
