A good way to see the sights without worrying about logistics
5/5

This was a good way to see nearly all the sights I wanted to see in Cape Town and its environs without having to figure out the logistics of getting to each one & paying individual admissions for each. I also got to do a bunch of fun things that weren't on my bucket list, such as a sunset cruise. We enjoyed it. The guide Safpol hired - Gillian Schroeder - is a native of the area who provided interesting details that we wouldn't have otherwise heard about, and was able to steer us to lunch places frequented by locals, a vendor that still had official Springboks rugby team merch after everywhere else was sold out and other experiences we wouldn't have had if we were trying to figure out Cape Town on our own. If you are a teetotaler, be forewarned that several stops in this package feature alcohol. While one would expect alcohol at a winery, I was surprised that only alcoholic beverages came with the snacks the wildlife safari facility provided with this package. This was my first experience using a tour operator. I might have been able to spend less money if I arranged hotels and visits to tourist spots myself as I usually do, but it was nice to leave the arrangements to someone else for a change.

An excellent, real professional guide.
5/5

Our 18-day tour through Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe took place in October 2023. It was truly an exciting experience. Everything was very well organized from the moment we arrived in Windhoek to our departure.
As we were travelling from one place to another we stayed in different accommodations almost every night, the lodges we stayed in were clean, spacious and fully equipped. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was really delicious with many local ingredients. Our guide was very knowledgeable, informative and did an excellent job to organize our activities: sunset or sunrise walks, safaris which allowed us to admire fauna and flora. We expected to see some animals but the number we saw was incredible:
elephants, buffalo, giraffes, antelopes, warthogs, lions and countless species of birds.
We strongly recommended boat cruise on the Okavango River (hippos! crocodiles!) and the marine cruise-let us watch plenty of sea creatures: humpback whales, dolphins, seals, pelicans.
We also had the opportunity to fly over Victoria Falls in a helicopter. The natural landscape and the views were marvellous.
It was an expensive trip, but one that is well worth the cost.
We would definitely recommended the tour to everyone who still dream about Africa.

Nice and funny tour guide with big knowledge
5/5

Everything from the start was great- starting from the planning part to the finish line. Barbara helped us to make the trip fit our needs. When choosing to visit Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe be preapared to spend long hours in the car. Thankfully the car itslef was very comfortable, spacious and had A/C. The hotels varied in range- from exquisite ones to mid-range- all clean and nice. We spent one night in a tent in the heart of a bush, but don't worry it had running water, hot showers and the breakfast was served in a beutiful lodge nearby. During the entire trip we only had amazing food- almost each night the guide took us to a great, local restaurants and let us choose anything we wanted a'la cart (which was included in the price). The wildlife we witnessed was breathtaking. If you love elephants, there is no better place to see them. We highly recommend taking a helicopter above Victoria Falls- worth every penny. To make it a 6 stars out of 5 we would need a few extra days in Mauritius and would suggest it to anyone who can take a longer leave than us :)

Well arranged and coordinated Victoria Falls tour package from Safpol Safaris
5/5

Having planned this trip in 2020 and with various uncertainties around due to the pandemic situation, our trip was made possible by Safpol Safaris in a cool comfortable way in May 2021.

In general, the tour operators were friendly, reachable and reliable. Replanning was done efficiently for stay and activities based on their personal experiences also. The recommendations for activities and sight-seeing spots were much helpful and meeting our expectations!

Especially the stay in Shearwater Explorers village arranged by Safpol has to be mentioned. It was a nice place with nice ambience and service staffs.
Mighty Victoria falls visit, Zambezi game drive, helicopter ride were truly exciting with wonderful service arranged by Safpol.

The stay and game drive in Hwange Safari Lodge was also equally amazing amidst the incredible wildlife of Africa!

Overall service meets our expectations and we wish to recommend this tour operator, if asked for!

Tanzania- Great Safari and Zanzibar Experience
5/5

This was our first trip organised by Safpol, and we have to admit that everything was just fine! We started out trip with 7 days Safari (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro N.P) We were met by our guides at the airport in Arusha and from then on we had great companion. After safari we were driven back to the airport and flew for 5 days rest in Zanzibar. We had great time there as well. We strongly reccomend Safpol Safaris!

Magical African adventure
5/5

I can't rate Safpol Safaris highly enough. As first time visitors to South Africa I must say they expertly crafted the perfect Safari trip. From the lodge recommendation to the travel arrangements - everything was made so easy and they made our budget work hard for us. We stayed at great places all over South Africa and it was excellent. Multiple Big Five sightings, great food, excellent accommodation.

The real thing that make them stand out is the customer service. From Dana on the social team offering tips for where to eat in Cape Town to Barbara our holiday ‘organizer' who made booking the holiday a breeze and even personally stopped by our hotel in Cape Town. Next time I book an African trip there is no doubt who I'll go with Safpol Safaris - they are really amazing.

Unforgettable experiences and the Best guides!
5/5

We chose Safpol Safaris based on the company's reviews and the swift communication with Basia. We were definitely not sorry! We have done a fair bit of travelling around the world, but we can honestly say that our private 10-day South Africa-Zimbabwe - Botswana was the best holiday we've had so far! We visited: Cape Town, Durban, Kruger Park, Swaziland,Johannesburg, Pretoria, fantastic Victoria Falls and the most incredible Chobe in FOUR ! most beautiful Southern African countries. Our stay in Kruger Park and Chobe were our absolute favourites. We could see different animals (elephants, lions, giraffes, hyenas, zebras, wild dogs, etc.) come to the water holes, in the bush and from the boat on Chobe river.

Marek and Peter, our guides, contributed greatly to the amazing experience with their knowledge, sense of humour, superb organization of the tour and overall support. We can highly recommend this company.
