An incredibly well organised tour with no hassles whatsoever.
5/5

Safari Online understood our needs and was able to present us with sensible options to choose from.
It was evident that this tour operator has knowledgable and experienced agents who can arrange a seemless tour.
We were provided with a professional online itinary which was comprehensive and easy to use, knew exactely what to expect,
and encountered no stumble blocks along the way.
We had a few relaxing days in the bush, enjoyed great meals, experienced amazing sightings of wildlife
and were lulled to sleep by the roar of lions.

What a Great Experience!
5/5

First of all, Walter has been very responsive and truly a pleasure to work with. This was the first time my family visited South Africa, let alone safaris. All the expectations had been exceeded. The amount of time we spent in each location and the amount of activities involved on this trip had been perfect. The accommodations were extremely comfortable. We were able to see the Big 5 and more on each of the reserves and some of them we were able to see them from our lodge. This has been a great experience for us and I would recommend Safari Online to anyone.

Safari Online made our fantastic family holiday dream come true!!
5/5

As a family of 13, ranging in age from 8 to 68 years of age, we could never have imagined anything more perfect. We started communicating with Walter Kohrs over a year ago and he put an exciting package together to suit every member of our family. A last minute hiccup with our transport caused us a little concern but Walter sorted it out in a blink of an eye. We were back on track and on our way to Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge, Leopard Mountain Safari Lodge, Amakhosi and then Thonga Beach. Each one was unique. Our favourite was definitely Leopard Mountain Lodge. We were amazed at the amount of game we saw, the delicious food we ate, the fabulous contact we had with local communities, the knowledge of all our guides and the memories our family made together.
Safari Online have been nothing but professional and incredible from the time we made our first enquiry to the last day of our stunning holiday. Nothing was too much trouble for Walter. We are now starting to plan our next family Safari for 2019. Guess who we will be booking with??? Safari Online we hope you are ready!!!!!

Best trip I have ever been on. Highly recommend.
5/5

Would highly recommend. Lodges, Sunrock Guesthouse, Imbabala Zambezi Safari, Umlani Bushcamp, The Elephant Camp, were fantastic with excellent staff that were extremely helpful, friendly and nothing was a problem. Safari online asked questions when booking and were efficient and knew exactly what we were looking for in terms of accommodation and animals were wanted to see. Actually got to see the Big 5 which was perfect. Gave advice on a few little extras with no pressure, which we did and am very grateful which make trip even more exciting. Would definitely recommend booking with them.

We spent 9 days in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti national parks and experienced a superbly organized and well conducted Safari followed by a four day Mt. Meru climb and a four day Zanzibar Beach relaxation.
Walter and his team provided excellent recomendations, planning and Arrangements and werealways at our disposal if we needed them. Thanks a lot, we will come back.

Superbly organised family of five holiday, great advice and assistance with Walter's personal touch
5/5

We were referred to Walter Kohrs (Safari Onine) by other Aussie friends who have previously used him. The attention to detail and the speed of replies made booking this holiday in Africa very easy. Previously I have organised most holidays by myself online but this was much better as I did not need to do all the research or have the headaches. Walter's knowledge, personal experience and great advice was immeasurable.
We utilised the most with our time away (22days) going to Cape Town, Botswana, Victoria Falls and Sabi Sands (Total 4 game parks). All transfers and internal flights (7) ran smoothly. Safari online even checked in our airline tickets online at the appropriate time.
I was also extremely impressed by the virtual online itinerary supplied once the holiday was booked.

A trip of a lifetime!
5/5

There were many highlights to our safari trip in Zimbabwe and South Africa. The Elephant Camp in Victoria Falls was definitely the biggest highlight of the 10 day trip. The luxuries and the animal interactions were outstanding. The staff at the Camp were able to rearrange the schedule for us as our stay here was too short! The hospitality at Imbabala Lodge was excellent and the safari guide was extremely knowledgeable. Once in Cape Town, having a rental car was a great way to get around and allowed us to plan our own itinerary to see sites not offered on public transportation. The Fransvliet Guest House in Franschhoek was also a great place to stay. Very welcoming and amazing scenery!

The service Walter offered during all our planning and while we were on the trip were outstanding. All our questions were quickly answered and the itinerary that was crafted gave us experiences we were looking for.

Exceeded our expectations
5/5

On our most recent trip to Botswana, Walter, our wonderful agent, booked us with Belmond properties in Chobe, Okavango Delta and Khwai River and they exceeded our expectations. The highlight of this trip was definitely getting out of the car and doing a water safari in the Okavango Delta. The sunsets, scenery and wildlife were amazing. As there was so much water in Khwai River, our airstrip was under water, so we had to be helicoptered into the camp, which was an added bonus! Despite there being less wildlife than normal due to the water, we did manage to see a pack of wild dogs, owls, kudu and our guide took us further away where we ended up seeing the elusive leopard. All in all, we have booked a few safaris now with Safari Online and we keep using them as they are always quick to respond and our holidays have been amazing!

Best service and best adventure thanks to Safari Online
5/5

Walter from Safari Online organised such a great experience for my friends and I in the Kruger. I think he’s the most helpful person I have ever worked with.

Let’s start with Sunrock Guest House since that was our first stop. The rooms are super comfortable and the oversized two head showers were a treat after a long plane ride. We had a chance to speak to the owners when we arrived and they were so lovely and welcoming. They organized food packs to take with us on our shuttle to the Kruger, since we left before breakfast. Definitely recommend this place.

The shuttle ride to the Umlani Bush Camp took about 7 hours because of road works but we had plenty of stops so the trip was broken up well. The shuttle is comfortable and the company supplied us with enough water for the trip.

Umlani Bush Camp was just perfect. Rustic but very comfortable. The staff were so lovely and accommodating that at times we felt a little overwhelmed with how attentive they were. Each day the safari guides made it their mission to make sure we had a really great adventure. We had all the luck and saw every animal we wanted to see and more. On our last day, just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we had the opportunity to watch two male lions stalking a leopard hiding up a tree with his kill. The leopard eventually made it away safely. On our last night we stayed in the Umlani tree house, about 500m from the camp. I would totally recommend this to anyone visiting Umlani. It was a night sleeping under a sheet of stars listening to the sounds of the beautiful wild. Before we went to bed our torch caught the eyes of a hyena, a buffalo and a herd of impalas - as confirmed the next day by the tracker. We requested a night in the treehouse as soon as we found out about it on arrival, but perhaps to ensure a night there people might be able to do it before they arrive. Definitely recommend the Umlani Bush Camp to anyone visiting Kruger.

Walter, thanks again for your help organizing a memorable adventure, answering all our questions so quickly and and being thorough with sending us all the details we needed for the trip. You helped make the trip as awesome as it was. If anyone I know plans to visit South Africa I’ll be sending them your way.
