We had The Safari Partners schedule our transfer from Hwange and make our arrangements in Victoria Falls (including transfers, park tours, and hotels). They were very prompt and made things incredibly easy on our end in Zimbabwe. The gentlemen that helped us was very friendly and helpful.
On the emailing/setting the program up, it was very straightforward and they covered all aspects that wer ... Read moree needed for us. They were eager to go above and beyond when we needed an extra transfer or to shorten the trip to fit our schedule. Very accommodating- will definitely use then again in the future!
I have recommended Safari Partners already to everyone that I share my Africa experience with. To have Gorillas mingling at our feet in Rawanda, luxury camping in the Botswana wilderness, and exploring the most beautiful coastline I've ever seen in South Africa, made this my best trip ever. Every detail was taken care of flawlessly, the food was 5 star dining, and the people and guides were fun an ... Read mored attentive to every need. Love Blackheath Lodge in Capetown! Everything was above my expectations.
Safari Partners did an excellent job helping us to plan our trip to Rwanda and Tanzania. From the beginning, communications were excellent. Chris was very responsive to all of our questions and provided sound advice based on his years of experience planning travel to Africa. Having grown up in the tourism industry myself and traveling a great deal, I must say that Safari Partners raised the bar. ... Read more Every aspect of the trip was top drawer. We chose to stay at 3 star hotels and we found the ones that Chris booked to be superb. Chris’ advice on time spent in each place proved to be wise. The ground services were excellent. The guides were on time, very knowledgeable and DID EVERYTHING to make our trip enjoyable and comfortable. This trip exceeded our expectations
We found Rwanda to be very clean, safe, modern, progressive and comfortable as Chris indicated it would be. Being with the gorillas there was an experience of a lifetime. In Tanzania our guide went to great extremes so that we got to see all of the "Big Five" as well as many other interesting animals. We even witnessed the migration in Tanzania. We all highly recommend that you book your next safari with "Safari Partners."

The Safari Partners were recommended to us by some friends who travelled with them in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda.

Both experiences were awesome, the hotel was great and Duncan made sure that we had great trek experiences. We also enjoyed our time in Kigali, where Duncan took care of us as well. Chris was really helpful too and I would recommend Safari Partners to anyone.

Itinerary, (30 + days) was perfectly planned. Our expectations were exceeded, and we look forward to doing it again. Chris and Safari Partners looked after every detail. His recommendation to add Namibia to our journey was well worth it. The 'andBeyond' lodges in Botswana and Namibia were magical, and our accommodation in between was perfect. We highly recommend Safari Partners.
