"Perfect Safari Vacation!"
Monika and team came highly recommended by a close friend who had their wedding in Botswana. Our trip started in South Africa then moved on to Botswana. All of our camps, hotels, bush planes and transfers were handling perfectly without a glitch. Amazing! Every guide in every camp was fabulous. We especially appreciated how Monika included a boat and walking camp in the middle of our other "African Massage" camps. (Bouncing in a truck can get a bit tiresome.) The food at all locations was fantastic. The animals were gorgeous and the photo memories are plentiful!
It all made for a wonderfully memorable experience! Thank you Monika and team!

Perfect organization = Perfect holiday !!
We went on a Trip with some close friends. It was our first Africa-Experience and it surely wouldn't be the last. The program was tough because we wanted to see a lot. The locations and the tours were perfectly organized.
It was the perfect trip and we cannot wait to see more of this beautiful country.
So....Monika and Miriam, Thank you very much !!

Very personal, patient and reliable service by the Safari Source = Fantastic Roundtrip in Zimbabwe!
At first we tried to organize our two week trip to Zimbabwe by ourselves and were not very successful..until a friend recommended the Safari Source to us.
Monika and Miriam were really patient answering every question we had in many Emails and Skype conversations, until we we figured out what suited us best and developed the perfect programme for our needs, our budget and our limited time.
They will keep in touch with you while on the road to make sure you are not having any problems and you will feel like in the hands of a friend you have known for a long time.
Don't miss your chance for a perfect holiday and book with the Safari Source!

Excellent! Reliable and friendly communication
The Service couldn´t have been better. We tried to organize a one-night-visit to VicFalls on our own- and failed. Safari Source took over, Monica got tickets, accomodation, transport and good ideas for us and made it a perfect stay. We enjoyed the visit at Vic Falls, the sundowner -tour on Sambesi river an early Safari, good food and accomodation al Lokuthula Lodge and the Hotel besides. Also nice service by the guys who help us in situ with tipps and transport.
Comunication with Monika was friendly, uncomplicated, the arrangements were done fast and reliably.
Five Stars. Thank you very much!

Insightful, organized and reliable all the way
We worked with The Safari Source in organizing a trip from Botswana to Zimbabwe and Zambia. Monika was there to help us, patiently and promptly, every step of the way. She has been solid perfection from start to finish.
As the company is also based in Zimbabwe, they have the great advantage of knowing first hand the best accommodations, the most reliable operators and they understand how to best work and communicate with the locals. Which is very important because you need to know you're in good hands when traveling so far from home.
We discussed extensively about what kind of trip we wanted to have, what we wanted to see, what activities we would like to do, so that we can have a fully tailored itinerary. She then handled the bookings and put every piece together in a booklet with a fully detailed itinerary (dates, booking confirmations, accommodations, services, contact details and descriptions for each activity and place, instructions, directions, emergency contact numbers etc.). Moreover, we also kept in touch during the trip, so that they can make sure everything is going according to plan (And it did).
All the suggestions Monika made were excellent, the planning was impeccable and the whole experience was wonderful, beyond our expectations. We highly recommend working with The Safari Source in planning a memorable experience in Southern Africa.

Swiss style organisation!
A special thank for The Safari Source! Monika and Miriam oriented us to a wonderful tour that met exactly all our needs. They were very efficient and gave a very good assistance!
It was important for us to have an intermediary between the african tour company and us in case we had a problem. The bonus was to pay in an european country! I sincerely recommend to use such intermediary when booking something in africa. The Safari Source is the perfect option in my opinion!

Outstanding Service!
This is the 2nd year that Safari Source was responsible for planning our Safari Excursion to Africa; last year was Zimbabwe/Botswana, this year it was South Africa/Kruger Nat'l Park. Monika and Rosemary were attentive to every.single.detail and communicated with us on these details. We had a minor snafu at the end of the trip, but it was efficiently and expeditiously handled... smooth sailing all the way, as if nothing had ever happened.
My highest recommendations for using the Safari Source for your travel needs in Africa; I look forward to the adventure planned for us in 2018!

The best Rooms in the best Hotels
I can highly recommend the services of The Safari Source.
They propose not only beautiful accommodations but they manage to book the best rooms with the best view, not only in Zimbabwe but also in the surrounding countries. This was my experience. We had a wonderful time thanks to God and The Safari Source.

Responsive and Reliable
We had such a good experience with the Safari Source in 2014, they were the first people we turned to when planning our next Zimbabwean holiday. Again, we were delighted with their service. The Safari Source is well-organised, helpful, and they find some of the best accommodation and deals. They really listen to what you are looking for in a holiday and match their suggestions to your preferences. They found a wonderful lodge in Hwange for us and provided us with useful suggestions and travel tips. We recommend them to all our friends and will definitely be booking through Safari Source again!

Outstanding Service
We booked our Victoria Falls, Chobe, Khwai Safari with the Safari Source. The Service was outstanding. Because they are Swiss/Austrian you can easy communicate with them in German. This was a big plus for us because we live in Switzerland and the payment could be made onto a Swiss Banking Account. The Safari Source has a very good Price Money Value. There was no Office in Switzerland or Germany that made us a better offer.
Everything on our Safari was planned very well. All the Transfers (Bus & Mack Air) worked as good as in Switzerland.
We were able to prebook a Sunset Cruise on the Sambezi as well as Heliflyiing in Vic Falls. So everything was payable in advance, even the transfers were prebooked to the boat and the heli, so you didn't even have to think about a taxi. It was just great! :-)
Everything was on time. Rosemary (one of their staff members) even checked on us in Victoria Falls, another travel Agent met us in Maun to ask how everything worked out.
Monika and Miriam helped us to get a tailor-made Safari trip, giving us very good Inputs and helping us to find lodges that fit our Needs the best. Miriam and Monika were just great- even with the distance it was no problem to call eachother with whatsapp call and plan our trip just the way we wanted it.
I will definitely recommend them to all my friends, who would like to go on a Safari and will book my next Adventure in Africa with them for sure.
