Efficient Quick and great value
Joanne Sachs and her staff at Safari Trails was just great. She put together a great safari tour of Zimbabwe and Botswana. Answered all our questions very promptly. Everything was on time. Kuhulu Ivory Lodge was awesome. Elephants drinking water from our pool, lions mating not 100 meters from the lodge.... awesome. This family owned lodge is a Gem. Food drinks rooms staff .... everything was perfect. Had a great game drive in Hwange National park. Excellent lunch. Moved onto Cresta spray view hotel in Victoria Falls. An excellent hotel.... great staff food rooms service just perfect. Victoria falls tour was great and the Zambezi river cruise was awesome. Please visit Boma restaurant for a buffet of Crocodile to warthog to you name it... any kind of bush meat. Land transfer to Chobe Elephant Camp was very comfortable. But the only good thing about that lodge was the game drives with MR. Innocent. Food was average, staff uncaring. Electricity off and on. We were given the most distant rooms even though there was only one more room occupied. Had to walk through Elephant infested forest to the rooms. That was a scary walk of about 300 meters. Electric fence was not working. Basically a terrible place. Chobe river cruise was perfect. I recommend Joanne Sachs and Safari Specialists absolutely. She is great.

Exceedingly helpful and reliable
I found SS (Erica Wilson) on line and after a few email exchanges decided to have her arrange our trip. She was extremely responsive, forthcoming with her opinions (as I requested) and negotiated an excellent rate with the camps we selected. But for her relationship with camp management, I think the cost would have been at least 25% higher. At the end of the trip, she met our flight in Maun and we had a chance to visit in person for an hour or so. In summary, working with Erica was a wonderful experience.

Fantastic game sightings and best customer service ever
We had a fantastic trip.
Vic falls was very relaxing and Ilana was really comfortable.
Our guide in Chobe was so much fun and the Bakwena lodge was the friendliest staff we ever met.
The game sightings in Okavango were amazing. We saw all we wanted to see. (leopard and a cub).
All in all one of our best trips ever, so thank you again for the great advice.
True experts in Botswana
I highly recommend Safari Specialists for all your planning needs in southern Africa! They are knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and reasonably priced. I was able to provide them with a rough idea of the things we wanted to see and do and they developed a very detailed and incredible trip itinerary. It is hard to find the right company so give Safari Specialists a shot!
