Beautiful Botswana Safari
5/5

My husband and I went to Botswana and Victoria Falls for our honeymoon and I couldn't be happier I entrusted Safari Online to do the booking for us. Walter was our agent and he is top notch. From beginning to end he was extremely detailed, a great communicator, and just downright pleasant to work with. He consistently checked in with us as our trip time approached to make sure all details were in place and to make sure that all our questions were answered. When we took our trip, we couldn't believe how smoothly everything went. We just had to show up and there was someone waiting there to take us to our next lodge, plan, or car ride. We saw so many amazing animals on our safari and met some incredible people in Botswana and we will cherish those memories for life. Thank you again Walter for helping us create this amazing experience.

5/5

Karina Atkinson is the best! Working afar (US) was never an issue. She booked us the best vacation we have ever experienced. This was our 30 year wedding anniversary treat and it did not disappoint.

Service, communication was top notch. We did not have one issue on our 15 day trip! Says a lot about Karina and Safari Online. Encourage everyone wanting to see Africa and pending safaris, you can not go wrong.

5/5

Our tour of Victoria Falls and Botswana was perfect. The lodges were wonderful and we were able to see so many wonderful sights and animals. Our three charter flights and crossing of the border between Zimbabwe and Botswana, all arranged by Safari Online, went smoothly. Walter Kohrs of Safari online provided excellent information on what to pack, which currency to use and information on what to expect about border crossings and at the lodges. He was quick to respond to our initial inquiry and always answered our questions and concerns promptly.

The best interaction with a travel agent I have ever had. If I could give 6 stars, I would!
5/5

Walter is exceptional. His communications and his can-do attitude was brilliant and he responds quickly and positively to every email. It was a pleasure dealing with him.
Our holiday was not the easiest to organise as we had family coming from both Australia and the UK to celebrate a special birthday but Walter organised everything to the last detail, including organising accommodations and internal flights all to work seamlessly with the international arrivals. Really, from arriving at J'burg airport we didn't have to think about a thing. We were met, greeted and treated like VIPs everywhere we went.
We all loved every moment of our stay at Jamala, everything was super, the food was top quality and the staff were top notch. The safaris were fabulous and overlooking the waterhole meant there was always something amazing to see.
Walter, thank you so much for all the effort and work you put in to making this important family holiday run so smoothly. We cannot recommend you highly enough.

I worked mainly with Karina Atkinson, who was a delight. She was knowledgeable, responsive, kind, and patient throughout. Our safari tour was something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. It exceeded expectations.

Responsive and Knowledgeable
5/5

Many people describe an Africa safari tour as a “trip of a lifetime.” Our Safari Online representative helped us design a customized tour that exceeded our expectations and stayed within our budget. Our in-country experience offered the same benefits as a large group tour (transport, drivers, support) with none of the usual hassle of a large group experience. We traveled as a customized tour group of two women and felt safe at every stage. Safari Online built a safari experience that began at a high level and each succeeding Lodge/safari experience exceeded the last one.

Walter from Safari Online was absolutely brilliant in helping arrange our dream Botswana trip.
5/5

At the start of our Botswana trip planning I was totally confused and overwhelmed with the choices of places to visit and accommodations on offer. Over a few weeks, Walter guided us through the decision making process with incredible efficiency, patience and adeptness. His responses from afar ( we live in Australia) were always prompt, polite and very helpful. We eventually were able to organise an itinerary which fulfilled our every need and wildest dreams. We couldn't have asked for a better Botswana experience.
We visited Chobe, Savute and the Okavango Delta and we so pleased with Walter's suggestion to visit these three diverse and amazing places in Botswana. They were all different but thrilling in their own way. The amount of wildlife we saw in each place was just mind blowing.
The organisation of the trip by Walter was seamless.

Fantastic planning experience and trip of a lifetime
5/5

My experience with Walter Kohrs of Safari Online was literally perfect. From the very first contact to the follow-up after our vacation, Walter was as professional and friendly as a person can be. He provided prompt and informative answers in the planning phase of our vacation and was very patient with my many questions regarding places to visit, places to stay, pricing, activities, etc... Once we had decided where we were going and what we would be doing, he continued to respond to any and all questions I had about our upcoming vacation. With respect to the vacation itself, it truly was a trip of a lifetime and exceeded our expectations. We visited Tanzania for safaris and Uganda for gorilla trekking. Our guides and the companies we were set up with were wonderful. We saw all the animals we had hoped for and more. The day-to-day game drive experiences were fantastic. We also had the opportunity to do some game walks and a balloon ride. We were able to visit local communities and schools and thus had some exposure to the local cultures. We stayed in wonderful places (e.g., camps, lodges), met lovely people, and ate very good food. We could not hope for better experiences and this was due to the fact that Walter Kohrs truly listened to what we wanted and made it happen. I would not hesitate to recommend Safari Online and Walter Kohrs.
