Safari365 was a Roaring Success!
Our South African Adventure kicked off with meticulous planning by Safari365 and ended with a camera roll full of memories . We came for the Big Five and left with big smiles, epic stories and a postcard-worthy photo from practically every corner. The star of the planning show was consultant Zannon, who booked accommodation at Tintswalo Lodge; so perfectly tailored to our family of five (grandparents, parents, 9-year-old granddaughter). It felt like we'd been VIPs in a National Geographic documentary (we got up close and touching a rhino and lion after a helicopter darting thanks to Riian our guide). Meanwhile, Trevor, our personal concierge, tackled our endless questions and gave us foodie-approved dining suggestions and fun activities in Cape Town. Who knew penguin-spotting could work up such an appetite? As our wildlife sightings and scenery numbers skyrocketed, so did our photo-clicking frenzy. By the time the trip was over, we had more snaps than a Kardashian at Fashion Week. Luckily, Safari365 anticipated this paparazzi-level behavior and gifted us an A4 20-page bonus photo book! Picking 50 photos felt like choosing a favourite child, but memories are memories. Uploading those photos from home was a breeze, and in no time—voilà, Bob’s Your Uncle!—an A4 hardcover photo book landed on our doorstep. The bonus photo book had turned our snaps into a coffee table masterpiece; it’s packed with our journey, African trivia, and even a traditional recipe. Friends actually want to flip through it, proving once and for all that a photo book beats squinting at my phone any day. Well done Safari365, the bonus photobook, another initiative first, a success and much appreciated. We had a Roaring good time.

Excellence of service
My son and I did a 15-day self drive through the Garden Route (from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town), using the services of Safari 365 and I can't help but congratulate the professionals involved for the fantastic experience we had. From the initial contact with Ms. Eliane in Brazil, to the completion of the tour, I have nothing but praise to say. Ms. Eliane proved to be a dedicated professional, attentive, caring and always willing to clarify doubts (and there were many), review itineraries, adapt hotels (great choices), create suggestions, in short, everything necessary to guarantee a quality service suited to our needs. profile. I also cannot fail to thank and praise our concierge, Mr Frederik Lesch, who was always ready to help us in any situation. Therefore, I congratulate the company Safari 365 for the excellent work and for having such special people as those mentioned on its staff. Thank you Eliane, planning and carrying out our adventure through South Africa with you was rewarding and made our trip safer and more fulfilling.

Tanzania
Thank you, Safari365, Eliane and Trevor, for all your help putting together our trip. We had a wonderful time and are still talking about our experiences, and sharing our photos with friends.
The tented lodges were beautiful, the people of Tanzania were so friendly and fun, and the safari experiences were unbelievable!
Also, we highly recommend Albert, our guide. He was so knowledgeable, kind, fun and we loved getting to know him.
Zannon Rocks! He interpreted the needs and desires of our family of 7 and then delivered!
Zannon James of Safari 365 deserves to be commended for all the effort, skill and talent he put into planning our (7 adults) family safari. We started out in Camp's Bay - hiking, mountain biking, touring the Cape, eating and drinking our way through Cape Town, Franshoek and Stellenbosh. Next we flew to Johannesburg. The accommodations at Arthol Place were PERFECT for our family - very attentive staff and incredible food! The JoBerg and Soweto tour was enjoyed by all 7 of us. Next - Four nights at Sabi Sabi Little Bush was great! We saw the Big Five after only one day, and added the Magnificent Seven before departing for Victoria Falls. Two nights worked well there as we really only wanted to see the Falls and enjoy a night out. Next we flew to Botswana for 2 nights each in Chobe and Okavango Delta. The helicopter ride between the two was a special treat. GREAT animal sighting as well. We loved the sunset Makuro canoe safari with so many elephants.
Each of the camps were well aware of the special dietary consideration of 2 of our family members. It was clear that Zannon had prepped all of our hosts. Every detail, from warm airport welcomes, easy transfers, very caring, friendly and professional staff made what could be an overwhelming process extremely easy and stress-free. Zannon listened to what was important to us and what wasn't and proceeded to tailor-make a most successful itinerary. We've been home 2 months and we're still on Cloud Nine!

Safari 365 is a remarkable tour operator and only provide the best in every aspect.
I recenlty completed a 10 day Safari in Tanzania with my family organized by Safari 365 and I cannot recommend them enough. The itinerary that Zannon put together was well planned and executed from start to finish. If we had to shorten our trip, it would have been very difficult to decide which area to eliminate. Each safari park offered an unforgetable adventure.
Logistics were perfectly organized that allowed us to relax without worrying in all the details. The accomodations were excellent and provided us different experience. Our favorite was Simbavati Grumeti; the service, people, food, ambiance were extra ordinary.
Trevor Stoutz of Safari 365 was available for us the whole time, he was professional, responsive patiently answering all our inquiries and went out of his way to assist on everything including handling our delayed luggage, made sure it was tracked down and delivered to our lodge.
Our guides (Mudy and Ronald) were the best. They had deep knowledge on the area, the animals and with great communication skills which made our safari experience exceptional. I like how both guides tried to involve our girls who are 11 and 14 years old. I also want to thank Safari 365 for putting something together to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Almost each accomodation had something arranged for her.
I am already thinking of our next Safari trip and would definetely do it again with Safari 365. They have made our first Safari experience one-of-a-kind.

They were unbelievable.
From the initial contact to arrival back home they were always there to help, give advice and asking how things were going. They put the holiday we were dreaming off together, which can not be faulted. Will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and certainly will be using them again.

The only tour operators I would recommend for Southern Africa.
Our family hadn't been to Southern Africa before (I had) so they were a bit nervous. Therefore, I wanted this trip to expose them to all the wonders of this part of the world but to always feel safe. Our wonderful consultant Andrew listened to our preferences and then added his own local knowledge and expertise and crafted the most exciting trip. He even joined us for a beer when we were in Cape Town. He fitted in with Australian time zones for phone calls and shaped up the itinerary into a wonderful two-week indulgence - there is nothing like local knowledge that you can trust. We went to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe (yes, my son bungee jumped 111metres off the old bridge!); Chobi National Park, Botswana; and Kruger Game Reserve & Cape Town, South Africa. We were picked up at airports and hotels/lodges always on time, we were indulged by the most beautiful and hospitable hosts and lovely venues, we ate amazing food, we saw beautiful natural panoramas and yes we saw the big five! I can't describe lying in bed at night and hearing lions roar within earshot! Cape Town blew us away and the trip down to the Cape of Good Hope was extraordinary. This has been an amazing experience we still talk about often. We will never forget it. We are definitely going back and most certainly organising it through Safari 365 (they aren't paying us to say that). Our Australian friends think we were brave and adventurous but little do they know we were in 5 star comfort and did not feel unsafe at all - except maybe the first time a lion walked past our open topped jeep! Definitely do it!!!

Best vacation ever - thanks to Andrew and Trevor-
My experience with the Safari365 Africa tour operator Andrew Sinclair for my vacation to Africa was absolutely incredible! From the moment my sister and I contacted them to inquire about a vacation we were impressed with Andrew Sinclair’s professionalism, thoroughness and attention to detail.
Andrew crafted a customized itinerary for us that perfectly matched our interests and preferences. He suggested the best places to visit, activities to do, and accommodations to stay at, ensuring that every aspect of my trip was tailored to our liking.
During our time in Africa, the concierge Trevor went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly. They were always ready to answer any questions. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout my entire trip.
Thanks to safari365 Andrew and Trevor , we were able to explore the stunning landscapes, vibrant cities, and rich culture of South Africa and Zimbabwe with ease and comfort. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone planning a vacation to beautiful Africa . Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
There should be more that 5 stars very deserving

3 weeks - Family of 4 travellers - First time in South Africa/Zim – Easy, Organised and memorable!
Our holiday with Safari365 was amazing. We will never forget our experiences. It was a trip of a lifetime.
Andrew organised it meticulously and worked with us over 2 months to guide us to balance our holiday between bush camps, cities and game reserves.
All accommodation, internal flights, transfers and hire cars were organised for us, which made travelling with a young family easy.
Andrew was very responsive to queries and checked in with us regularly throughout our trip. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he tailored our holiday to suit our family and budget. We couldn’t recommend Andrew enough.
Each of the places we have stayed had their own style and charm and we loved them.
The relationship and the educational experiences the guides provided for the kids and us adults will be remembered for the rest of our lives. The determination to see a leopard or lion cubs will be a lasting memory. The consistency of having the same guides really made the experience personal and allowed our kids to comfortably interact with the guides and wildlife.
We were able to relax when we needed too and the game drives at never got too much. The accommodation booked during the breaks from the bush camps allowed us to catch up on washing, have some down time and go sightseeing without feeling rushed.
It's not a matter of if we will visit Africa again but when! We wouldn't hesitate to call on Andrew and Safari 365 to help organise the next trip.
