5/5

This is now my second time making a booking with Walter and yet again he nails it!! and I am by no means an easy customer!! I very much enjoy making my own bookings and so rarely do I use a tour operator - but Walter has now changed my mind! He is extremely knowledgeable, attentive and patient. he answers every question and really goes out of his way to get to know you and make sure that whatever he recommends/suggests is right for you. I really enjoy dealing with him and his suggestions so far have been spot on!!

BEST experience ever! Couldn't be a happier first time visitor.
5/5

We had a FANTASTIC trip with no hiccups whatsoever as we visited 3 countries and stayed at 6 different places in 2 weeks. Kudos to our agent Walter Kohrs for ensuring we had the best experience ever! We left our hearts and minds in Botswana and Cape Town.

Walter helped me plan this trip so thoughtfully. He was detailed and articulate in giving me lots of tips(on which places to visit, immigration documentation etc), making sure I felt comfortable by always promptly responding to my emails, addressing each and every little detail and answering my bazillion questions. I was a first time nervous visitor, especially since I was traveling alone with kids but all his information helped me out a lot.

We really enjoyed our safari experiences at the lodges in Botswana. Wildlife viewing was the highlight of our trip but coming back to a cozy comfortable place to stay and eating delicious foods can't be discounted. Luxurious lodging went a long ways in giving my kids a fantastic experience they are going to treasure for life.

All our flights were on time, each and every place we had folks come receive us and drop us off on time. In Botswana- our stays at all the lodges were fabulous. Transfers between lodges were very well coordinated and executed on time. Staff at each and every lodge in Botswana and even in Victoria falls were friendly and their hospitality was remarkably professional and punctual. We loved all our guides and the kids had a blast all through out the trip.

Our safari experiences were amazing - we couldn't get enough of the wildlife and sceneries in spite of doing almost 11 safaris. We saw everything except wild dogs and leopard. In Cape Town, staff at Primi sea castle and Hylton Ross travels were awesome. I am now considering visiting some other countries in Africa that offer superior wildlife viewing and cultural experiences.

Walter from Safari Online was absolutely brilliant in helping arrange our dream Botswana trip.
5/5

At the start of our Botswana trip planning I was totally confused and overwhelmed with the choices of places to visit and accommodations on offer. Over a few weeks, Walter guided us through the decision making process with incredible efficiency, patience and adeptness. His responses from afar ( we live in Australia) were always prompt, polite and very helpful. We eventually were able to organise an itinerary which fulfilled our every need and wildest dreams. We couldn't have asked for a better Botswana experience.
We visited Chobe, Savute and the Okavango Delta and we so pleased with Walter's suggestion to visit these three diverse and amazing places in Botswana. They were all different but thrilling in their own way. The amount of wildlife we saw in each place was just mind blowing.
The organisation of the trip by Walter was seamless.

Professional and extremely helpful and sensitive to individual needs
5/5

We have booked two safaris with Walter Kohrs. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Our most recent safari in April of 2023 was the fourth safari we had had the pleasure of experiencing. Working with Walter in planning our needs, as well as suggestions for the additional couples traveling with us on their first safari was helpful. He made some great suggestions. All four of the camps we visited were tremendous...Ngoma, Shindi, Okuti and Gomoti. Our fellow travelers were blown away by the experiences in each camp. We all would not hesitate to recommend Walter and his associates to anyone planning a trip to Africa. Our hope is that this was not our last trip to the magical Africa and its wonderful people.

Kim Wagner, created the best family holiday EVER we had the best experience!
5/5

Our experience with Kim, in creating our family holiday was, without a doubt the best experience and holiday we have ever had with our family.
Talking with Kim over WhatsApp and being able to articulate all the details we wanted from our holiday was seamless!
Kim created an 11-day Luxury Safari and left no stone unturned. Staying 2 nights in Jo Burg at the African Rock Hotel, 4 nights Thabamati, in Timbavati and 4 nights Nkorho in Sabi Sand.
Both locations gave us a different experience and it was great to see the different landscape. Safari was great at both and we managed to see the big 7, Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Wild dog, two litters of pups and 2 Cheetahs. Not to mention Hippo, Giraffe and the list goes.
Always being able to contact Kim, meant the only issue that was raised, was dealt with immediately and with no hesitation from any party involved!
Our family of 7 (All adults) had the most amazing time, lots of excitement and laughter. Memories that you can not put a price on!
After our children parted ways, Kim organised 5 nights in Victoria falls staying 2 nights at Victoria Falls River Lodge and 3 nights over on the Island Lodge. The perfect way to end our 17-day trip
My advice, do not hesitate to book your holiday with Safari Online, Kim is the absolute best. They are without a doubt the experts for your African experience … Hands Down….
