Best Experience Ever
We embarked on our safari journey of 4 days and 3 nights on March 1st, 2026. Cayla informed us beforehand that our original accommodations at Simbavati would have to be updated due to flooding. We were upgraded to Rock Fig Lodge and there are no words to describe our experience here. I was speechless from the moment we arrived being greeted by Margariute with warm towels. We were then fed an amazing lunch and shown our incredible lodge accommodations. It is a small boutique lodge setting only serving 12 people at a time.
Every single staff member from Donie who was our Safari guide, Eddie our tracker, Kelly and all restaurant staff from Ishmael, Enough and many others were top notch. The food prepared by the chefs was amazing. My husband and I had massages done also by Siene and they were the best we have ever had.
We were provided 2 safari drives a day and saw 3 of the Big 5 and so many other animals. We also had elephants right outside our room.
Cayla, with Safari.com made our experience seamless and I would encourage anyone wanting to experience a safari that is am over the top experience to book with them. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent contact and service given throughout.
Keith Chideme handled our booking and he was efficient, quick to respond to queries and very helpful. We stayed at Ukhozi Lodge at the Kariega game reserve and it could not be faulted. The accommodation and food and drink were of a high quality. The staff were very welcoming and made a happy team. Our 3 day safaris were absolutely amazing and we have returned with wonderful memories of sharing beautiful country with such a variety of animals. Thank you Safari.com.

Incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, professional, responsive and resourceful
Jolene Welsh was the best of the best and she was put to the test because I had a medical emergency and needed to reschedule my trip at the last minute.
She found a wonderful lodge for us, Inyati, and arranged for the lodge and Federal Air to give us a credit that we were able to use a few months later.
We can’t thank her enough and look forward to using her services again.

The most AMAZING trip
Communication was excellent from the very beginning. I always received a response within 24 hours — even over the weekends — and I was really impressed by how attentive the team was and the range of options they offered.
In terms of value for money, safaris are not typically the cheapest option, but I genuinely believe we received great value for what we paid, considering where we stayed and everything we experienced. Sanbona Wildlife Reserve was an incredible place, and we had the most amazing trip celebrating my husband’s 30th birthday there.

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.
