Our family of four just returned from our first trip to Africa, booked with Chris at the Safari Partners, and it was an amazing experience. As we had not travelled to Africa before, Chris made recommendations on countries and camps knowing our priority was animal safaris. It was a flawless experience and our family of four (2 adults, 2 teenagers) loved every minute. We started in Johannesburg w ...

The next day we flew to Zimbabwe for two nights to see Victoria Falls and participate in safari drives and a river cruise. Our stay at Victoria Falls River Lodge was amazing. Then we moved to Botswana where we spent 6 nights at three different “Desert and Delta” camps, which were exceptional! The food, camp staff, guide knowledge and accommodations exceeded all expectations in every location we stayed. And the coordinated effort of moving us between countries and camps was flawless. We had a very detailed website created by Chris detailing the specifics of our trip in advance and we received an information package about our travels prior to departing. Chris was quick to answer any questions we had and choose the perfect custom safari experience for the four of us.

It was the trip of a lifetime for our family and we would use Chris at the Safari Partners again for another African Adventure. We would encourage anybody interested in travelling to Africa to contact Chris—his customer service and knowledge of the continent are fantastic!

As a travel agent, dealing with Chris at Safari Partners was such a pleasure! Every phone call and email was dealt with in a timely fashion, making my job all that much easier!

Thank you to Chris and Safari Partners for arranging an amazing, stress-free trip to Tanzania. We stayed at three camps, The Highlands at Ngorongoro Crater, Namiri Plains in central Serengeti and Ubuntu mobile camp in Western Serengeti. The Asilia company that runs these camps was five star all the way, from the gracious staff that hosted us, to the fantastic chefs and the incredible guides we had ...

From the moment we landed at Kilimanjaro airport, and every leg of the trip after that, we never had to worry about a thing, there was always someone waiting for us with a smile on their face waiting to take us to where we needed to be, it was a perfect two weeks! The trip more than exceeded our expectations, meeting the local people, seeing the beautiful animals, the gorgeous landscapes, the breath-taking sunrises and sunsets and the sparkling night sky. We would highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to Africa to contact Chris at Safari Partners, thank you again for a memorable trip, it will stay forever in our hearts!

We began on African Adventure with a safari in three national parks in Tanzania. Chris and Safari Partners had booked us at three Asilia Africa camps, Little Oliver's, Highlands Ngorongoro and Dunia. All were outstanding in every respect--accommodations, food, staff, and game drives. We then went on to Victoria Falls and Cape town. All travel arrangements were booked through Chris. No disappoi ... Read morentments anywhere. The local operators that Chris chose ensured that everything went like clockwork. An entirely stress-free holiday. Leading up to the holiday, I had many questions. Chris was extremely responsive and knowledgeable, often responding within minutes of my e mails. In the end, the outcome is all that matters. I am an experienced traveller. The outcome was an adventure that was the travel highlight of my life. Thank you Chris. I will be sending other people your way!

I just got back from a trip to South Africa that included a safari in Timbavati Reserve and a 4 day stay in Cape Town. Every detail of this trip was taken care of with great detail. The accommodations, the safari adventure, the transfers, and service was impeccable. Travelling solo, this was especially important to me, and using this company helped me feel safe and looked after. I highly recom ... Read moremend using this company, as it is clear they have a strong knowledge of the area, and what their customers are looking for. I will definitely be using them again and referring them enthusiastically!

We just returned home from our second trip with Safari Partners. Last year we went to East Africa and this year we went to South Africa with the "Kruger, Cape, and the Winelands" tour. It was absolutely amazing! Every detail of the trip was well organized by Chris Ronneseth at Safari Partners. We had a couple of special requests and Chris included them in our trip and responded to us almost immedi ... Read moreately. All of our accommodations were outstanding and our tours and tour guides were amazing. Every airport transfer was on time and pleasant. Our safari in Timbavati Private Nature Reserve was incredible. We saw the 'Big Five' several times over, along with many other animals. We have so many great memories!
If you are considering a safari be sure to contact Safari Partners. We would not look anywhere else. Chris will treat you in professional manner and help you feel comfortable with the process. We cannot imagine that anyone knows Africa any better than Chris and Safari Partners!

As a solo female traveler I was a little anxious about heading out on safari on my own, but thanks to Chris it was a wonderful experience. Chris arranged the ideal mix of city and safari. I visited Victoria Falls, Botswana and Cape Town. All were great, but the small lodges in Botswana were my favorite. Everyone working at the lodges were lovely. Every part of the trip was well organized. I didn� ... Read more�t worry about a thing. I’ll definitely return to Africa and I’ll definitely use Safari Partners again.

We traveled with a group of friends (6 in total) to Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania. We met with Chris to communicate what we wanted from our trip to Africa and our budget. The smartest thing we did was listen to Chris and have him put together the itinerary for us. It ended up being an amazing trip that met and exceeded our expectations in every way. We were well looked after by local guides durin ... Read moreg the entire time we were in Africa. We were in Rwanda to see the gorillas which were the highlight of our trip. Our animal safari was in Kenya where we stayed at two camps, the Elephant Bedroom in Samburu and Encounter Mara in the Masai Mara. Both camps were in a private reserve/conservancy that made for easy and up close views of animals. Both camps also provided excellent service and food but a special shout out has to go to Encounter Mara camp for their 5 star all around experience. We ended our holiday in Zanzibar in Tanzania where we spent several days on the beach at Matemwe Lodge.

A big reason why we had such a great experience in Africa is due to Chris' guidance and knowledge. We received great value in using Safari Partners and highly recommend them for anyone thinking of traveling to Africa.

Hi Chris

Just wanted to thank you for arranging such a wonderful trip. Everyone was very accommodating to our needs and expectations and everything was extremely well organized. We have already highly recommended you a few of our friends.

Thank you again for making this a trip of a lifetime.

Chris built us a custom self drive tour of South Africa for our honeymoon, and everything was perfect. We did a safari and then picked up our car rental and drove the scenic garden route. Our accommodations were cute and comfortable, and Chris was available to answer all our questions every step of the way. Thank you for such an amazing South African adventure!
