Sabrina was ultra responsive and made the entire experience just easy for us. Definitely recommend
Our trip to Botswana and the surrounding regions was a truly remarkable experience, and we have Sabrina de Pol from SafariOnline to thank for making it all happen so seamlessly.
From our initial enquiries to the end of the trip, Sabrina was exceptionally responsive. She addressed our questions almost instantaneously, demonstrating both professionalism and a genuine passion for ensuring we had an unforgettable holiday.
Where Sabrina truly shone was in her ability to provide tailored recommendations. Her intimate knowledge of the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park allowed her to suggest activities and accommodations that perfectly suited our interests and budget. Her tips were spot-on; from the safari drives to the sundowner cruises, every experience exceeded our expectations.
Coordination and logistics can often be the most stressful part of any trip, but Sabrina handled these aspects flawlessly. We also ventured into Botswana, South Africa and Victoria Falls, and despite the complexity of travelling through multiple destinations, every transport was impeccably organised. This smooth planning lifted a significant burden off our shoulders, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the regions we visited.
In short, Sabrina de Pol was fantastic to us. Her attention to detail, quick response times, and passion for what she does are simply unparalleled. We couldn't recommend her services more highly for anyone looking to explore Botswana and its neighbouring wonders.

Perfect!
Our 11-day Botswana safari, organized by Walter Kohrs at Safari Online, was absolutely spectacular, far surpassing even our lofty expectations. There were a few challenges to our safari itinerary that we presented to Walter, yet he was able to successfully overcome all of them. He addressed every single one of my (numerous) questions and concerns in every e-mail, and always got back to me within 24 hours, unless he advised that he would be unable to do so. In short, he has been one of the best, if not THE best, customer service managers I have met in my 60-plus years of life on Earth.
The quality of the accommodation, organization, food, guides, service, small-group safaris and animal sightings--all provided by Walter's colleagues at Desert and Delta Safaris--was simply outstanding. This tour company also works closely with Safari Air, which meant great flexibility in scheduling the flights that took us from lodge to lodge.
I have travelled to nearly 60 countries in my lifetime and enjoyed every single one of these trips, but I can truly say that our Safari Online adventure was not only one of the best trips that I have ever been on, but one of the greatest experiences of my life. My wife and I will forever be grateful to Walter. Perfect!

Amazing!
Kim Wagner designed and personalized the most wonderful itinerary. This was a trip of a lifetime, and every detail was perfectly curated and handled by her expertise and experience. Kim was extremely communicative during the planning of our trip, as well as throughout the entirety of our trip. She masterly ensured the whole trip went smoothly, and we felt so taken care of by her. We also appreciate how flexible she was with us while we were crafting the itinerary. We are so thankful to her for planning a trip that left us with many tears of joy, full hearts, and memories to last a lifetime.

Amazing
I wish I could relive this exact trip again and again because it was perfectly curated and so much fun. Kim Wagner did such a great job planning this for my family. We loved all of the places we stayed so much, our guides were exceptional, and the flow of the trip was perfect. I'm so glad that my mom found Kim for our trip, I will definitely be using her again for our future visits to Africa and would recommend her to anyone looking to plan a safari! Her attention to detail and responsiveness during our trip were very much appreciated.

Best experience ever!!
They provide us the most taylored and customized honeymoon possible! everything was much better than we expected. We loved the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere and everyone made us feeling so incredibly special and gave us a unique insight. Over our game drives we managed to see all the big five plus some!!
You have to plan on going out more than once!

The trip was sensational and tailored to our needs. Simply fantastic!
The care by Walter was great from planning to leaving Johannesburg. The accommodations were perfectly chosen. If after a few days you thought it could not be better, you were told otherwise. It was an increase every day, with the 3 days safari in the Kruger, including overnight in tree house, the grand finale.
I would book a trip anytime again at Safari Online.

Extremely satisfied with the knowledgeable, polite, responsive tour operator agent Walter Kohrs
Working with the SA based tour operator SAFARI ONLINE was a tremendous plus compared to a USA base operator, only enhanced by the very knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly tour operator agent Walter Kohrs.
We were so pleasantly pleased that all bookings made by Safari Online worked out to the "T" - no delays, prompt, and reliable. We were concerned that transfers between 3 safari lodges and to the airports would be a bit cumbersome, but no worries, at every location transfer a friendly, knowledgeable driver with a modern SUV came to pick us up, even being early by 30 mins. each time.
We very much enjoyed our 3 days at Victory Falls, Zimbabwe and our stay with tours at Victoria Safari Falls Safari lodge, likewise our 3 full days each at Umkumbe Safari Lodge and Arathusa Safari Lodge in the Sabi Sands, SA area. Each of our lodge stays and excursions recommended by Walter Kohrs worked out real well, each lodge and terrain was different, allowing us to see all Big Five many times and visiting different terrain. All 3 lodges pride themselves in supplying great customer service and satisfaction - their tips depend greatly on the customers' satisfaction.
In summary, we are more than satisfied and our thousands of phots remind us of an unforgettable trip organized by a very competent tour operator SAFARI ONLINE and agent WALTER KOHRS. We have happily recommended Safari Online and Walter Kohrs to lots of friends.

Fantastic planning experience and trip of a lifetime
My experience with Walter Kohrs of Safari Online was literally perfect. From the very first contact to the follow-up after our vacation, Walter was as professional and friendly as a person can be. He provided prompt and informative answers in the planning phase of our vacation and was very patient with my many questions regarding places to visit, places to stay, pricing, activities, etc... Once we had decided where we were going and what we would be doing, he continued to respond to any and all questions I had about our upcoming vacation. With respect to the vacation itself, it truly was a trip of a lifetime and exceeded our expectations. We visited Tanzania for safaris and Uganda for gorilla trekking. Our guides and the companies we were set up with were wonderful. We saw all the animals we had hoped for and more. The day-to-day game drive experiences were fantastic. We also had the opportunity to do some game walks and a balloon ride. We were able to visit local communities and schools and thus had some exposure to the local cultures. We stayed in wonderful places (e.g., camps, lodges), met lovely people, and ate very good food. We could not hope for better experiences and this was due to the fact that Walter Kohrs truly listened to what we wanted and made it happen. I would not hesitate to recommend Safari Online and Walter Kohrs.

Responsive and Knowledgeable
Many people describe an Africa safari tour as a “trip of a lifetime.” Our Safari Online representative helped us design a customized tour that exceeded our expectations and stayed within our budget. Our in-country experience offered the same benefits as a large group tour (transport, drivers, support) with none of the usual hassle of a large group experience. We traveled as a customized tour group of two women and felt safe at every stage. Safari Online built a safari experience that began at a high level and each succeeding Lodge/safari experience exceeded the last one.
