Worth booking thru the agency because they answered so many questions leading up to trip
The agency was aware of a discount offered at one of the lodges (that we would have otherwise missed out on). They compared the different companies in a very honest and transparent way and they answered questions on WhatsApp regarding other plans we had while staying in SA. It was worth having access to their experience instead of booking alone.

A Seamless Journey to an African Paradise – 5 Stars for Safari.com!
We recently returned from an unforgettable trip to the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, and I cannot recommend Safari.com highly enough for their role in making it happen. From the initial inquiry to the final boarding pass, their team provided a level of expertise and personal service that is rare to find.
The Booking Experience with Safari.com:
Planning a trip to a bucket-list destination like Victoria Falls can feel overwhelming, but our consultant at Safari.com made it effortless. They offered deep local knowledge, handled all the logistical nuances (transfers, park fees, and scheduling), and ensured we got the best possible value. Their communication was proactive and professional, leaving us with zero "travel anxiety."
The Stay: Victoria Falls Safari Lodge:
The lodge itself is a masterpiece of eco-conscious luxury. Highlights included:
The View: The lodge overlooks a busy waterhole; we saw Zebra, Kudu Antelope, and various birds right from the balcony during breakfast.
The Vulture Culture Experience: A fascinating and educational daily event that highlights the lodge’s commitment to conservation.
The Proximity: It is perfectly situated—close enough to the Falls to hear the "smoke that thunders," yet tucked away in the quiet of the Zambezi National Park.
Dining: Dinner at The Boma is an absolute must-do for anyone wanting an authentic, high-energy African drum and feast experience.
Verdict:
If you are looking for a dream African getaway, do yourself a favor and book through Safari.com. They don't just book rooms; they curate experiences. We will definitely be using them for our next safari adventure!

Derrick and our spotter Killy were nothing short of amazing.
I can’t say enough good things about our entire experience. Our driver/guide and spotter were on a mission to find each of the big 5… and did so several times! They were amazing at tracking and communicating with other tour guides in the area to find several different animals. The accommodations and food were over the top. We were treated like royalty! They even had a bubble bath waiting each night for us after dinner!

Fabulous
I would definitely recommend Safari.com, they organised our whole holiday not just the Safari. They arranged the transfers too so we had very little to do. Izanne was our travel consultant, we communicated mainly through whatsapp which suited me. She was very responsive and got things sorted really quickly when there was a minor mix up at one of our hotels - not too bad as we stayed in 4 different locations. We would love to go back to South Africa / Africa and will look to book with them again without doubt.

Phenomenal personalized service
Since the beginning planning my SA trip with Mel was easy. She was very helpful, we had to navigate changes of party size and where to go and what to see. She provided advice about safety areas and what to do or avoid. There was a never a question that Mel couldn't answer. Once we had to change our itinerary due to flooding, she basically had everything set for me just needing my approval. It was a stress free experience and I will do it again in a heartbeat.
Nerine was excellent to wok with-very responsive!00
Our experience of all aspects was great. Communiations were excellent. And the safari experience at Phinda exceeded expectations on all levels.

Excellent service by Safari.com. Shann Shaw was very thorough and responsive to our enquiry.
We absolutely loved our trip to South Africa arranged by Shann Shaw of Safari.com. Our guide Franco was really great. He talked about
S. Africa and it's recent history with compassion and authority. We had a really great day with Franco when he drove us to The Cape of
Good hope. Our hotel in Cape Town was very comfortable, and we especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast. The flights to Skukuza by
Air Link airways was comfortable and on time. Our lodge Lions River Lodge was really beautiful with very comfortable accommodation
and great meals and wine. Our driver on Safari by Pierre and the tracker Joe were excellent and enable us to safely view the "Big Five"
during our frequent drives. This was the most exciting trip of our stay in South Africa. We highly recommend Safari.com to anyone
wishing to see the wonderful animals and beautiful countryside in this wonderful country.

Excellent customer service, considering all our needs and more. Highly recommend.
Safari.com provided an extremely good service, both Cayley and later Caileen couldn’t have been more helpful. Everything ran like clockwork and we had a fabulous time at Shamwari private game lodge. Shamwari was the best safari for us so far, for the ranger, team, food, service, nothing was too much trouble. Not the cheapest option, but certainly the best in our view.
