Private tour Botswana, Vic Falls, South Africa, Kenya
Starting with Royal tree which was a Private booking. Accommodation excellent and here one gets a close look at many herbivores on foot or horseback. Tuskers was good but really just Elephants and no match with Chobe but a handy stop off on the way to the Delta. One night would do. The drive from Tuskers to the Delta was a surprise because while the road is terrible it becomes a game and the game on some lakes and waterways we came onto was wonderful. Okavango not to be missed especially for the birdwatching experience.
Chobe River a highlight. The smaller boat was ideal. Noticed can do land game drives here which would be good as well.
Masai Mara was the best Park experience. Would recommend starting here because one gets to tick off so much wildlife including Lions and Cheethas. Previously we had only seen Lions at Sabi Sand and that was a fluke. Masai Mari plus Samburu is a good combination. Good road to Samburu but terrible to Masai Mari although a new sealed road well advanced. While the driving was tough c/f light aircraft, one only gets to absorb the culture by road. Flamingos on Bogoria not to be missed but one needs to stay there and drive also to the hot springs which are a non-event but to get a better look at Flamingos on the rest of the lake.. Nothing wrong with the Spa Resort. Lovely staff and good accom but terrible food. Due to breakdown and delay stayed 2 nights was perfect. Did a drive to Lake Baringo but Kenya has much more exciting stuff to see. Checked out a boat ride but were surrounded by 20 aggressive locals with boats and the smell of alcohol so our driver got away quickly. Maybe better at the hotels. The Game Drive around Lake Nakuru was a surprise and excellent.
All guides were uncompromising in ensuring we had the best experience. The breakdown in Kenya would be avoidable if they serviced their vehicles. However the company redeemed themselves in sorting it out. Need to make sure windows work, grab handles replaced as well. Otherwise vehicles maliciously cleaned except the Nairobi pickup.
All tourist staff excellent - casual friendly but efficient. (Johannesburg Airport being a clear exception). All accommodation above expectations - even the necessarily rougher camps. Food good but exceptional a Masai Mara.

Service was fantastic, experience was amazing. I recommend working with Giada she was unbelievable.
Safari tour did a great job. We already knew what we were getting into having done this trip before, however safari tour made sure to organize all of our transportation to and from the game reserves as well as secure our reservation at each camp.
Everything went very smoothly.

Professional, helpful & excellent service
We contacted safari.com to seek help in planning our travel to KwaZulu-Natal. We were immediately taken care of, asked the “right” questions and then had an itiniery suggested. We made some adjustments and that was still not a problem.
We were very impressed with the speed, professionalism and friendliness.
The travel-agent always responded quickly to our questions and during the trip, all were fine and questions never asked, we just had to say our name and all were according to the outlined plans.
I would recommend safari.com to anyone planning a trip to South Africa!
Excellent service
Excellent! Travel agent sugested Karongwe Reserve Shiduli Lodge to us. Shiduli offered good accomodation, good food and excellent game drives with excellent guides and trackers
The whole weekend was good value for money

A truly wonderful wildlife experience with fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable guides!
As mentioned above we really had a wonderful time. Everything was up to expectations or exceeded expectations. Communication and service from Safari.com was faultless. Tydon safari camp and bush camp were incredible! The food was absolutely delicious (I am a coeliac but that was no problem - the women cooked scrumptious gluten-free food for me without the blink of an eye.) The guides who took us on safari drives and kept us entertained in the evenings were fantastic - their knowledge of the flora and fauna was absolutely outstanding and incredible! Our only regret was not booking for a longer stay! We will definitely be returning! Thank you so much!

Excellent service
A week for a business trip was scheduled for me in Johannesburg. I wanted to extend my stay for another week to spend some time with my son with a Safari. Tried with some websites, but the were quite obscure and confusing especially when you have never done a safari before. At some point I landed on the safari.com website with the possibility to converse with a representative. I talked to Annemarie Linda and she helped me to find a programme with the budget I gave and the availability of lodges. She really did a great job and everything she organised was perfect. She was available at all times to answer to any questions I had.
Thank you very much Annemarie and Safari.com

Efficient service
Best safari holiday (wet and wild). Weather was not good but the game ranger made it worth while. It was worth every cent. The food was also great. The reception and the rooms exceptional.
Good service and efficient
We just did our booking through Safari.com and they were very helpful and efficient.

Efficient and persistent. They got me a booking at a difficult time.
The roads are a vast improvement. Reception was friendly and helpful. Chalet neat and tidy.Viewing very good
and rewarding. Only negative - people not obeying the rules. Good to see security improved at the entrance gate.
