Absolutely amazing....the experience and Safari Partners arrangements!
All the arrangements made by Safari Partners went off like clockwork. There wasn't one glitch. The people that supported us along the tour route were great. They were waiting for us on schedule and guided us extremely well through Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar. Then the people in S. Africa were there when arranged and provided all the services planned. The two tours in Cape Town were excellent. They hit the spot.
On the safaris we saw everything we had expected and possibly a little more. All the accommodations were great. They exceeded our expectations and the staff at every location were excellent, they just couldn't do enough. They even cleaned our hiking boots after trekking to see the gorillas.
Thanks so much to the staff at Safari Partners and please pass along our appreciation to all the people that supported us during the trip.

A wonderful experience with Safari Partners
After 20 years, we finally got to take our dream trip to Africa to see the animals. The raw beauty of the land, the people, their stories and the animals were extraordinary. What made it it effortless was Chris at Safari Partners. He was recommended to me by my doctor and I would, without hesitation, recommend him to anyone who wants to experience Africa. In addition to setting up a flawless itinerary, he was a great support when my wife had a medical crises in Kenya and we had to cut short the last part of or trip (she had a blood pressure of 80/32 when she got to the ER in Nairobi).
Friends asked asked if I'd ever go back. My answer is an unqualified YES! And, I would have Safari Partners make the arrangements.

Excellent adventure
Everything from planning, booking, safaris accomodations, service was perfect. Exceeded all expectations.
We loved Kenya and Zanzibar. We were well taken care of from pickup to drop off. All hotels lodges and tented camps were lovely. Food was great and VERY plentiful. Great experience. And the animals, saw them All. Not high season for safaris but weather was perfect and saw more animals than I ever expected. African guides were excellent and knowledgeable.

Excellent experience
Cannot praise Chris and the safari partners team enough. We were a little nervous booking an expensive trip to Botswana over the internet with an agency based hundreds of miles away but these guys are legit. No detail was too small to be looked into and Chris offered a competitive price compared to other agencies.
Chris was flexible with everything and even though we went with a package, he was able to change lodges and other things whilst still keeping the price down and the quality up. Particularly liked the tech behind his his online itinerary too - the service had a premium feel to it, even before we left!
I wouldn't hesitate to go with them again and can't wait to return to Africa!
Thanks for all the help and support.
All the best from Munich, Germany and thanks again Chris :)
Victoria Falls from Hwange National Park
We had The Safari Partners schedule our transfer from Hwange and make our arrangements in Victoria Falls (including transfers, park tours, and hotels). They were very prompt and made things incredibly easy on our end in Zimbabwe. The gentlemen that helped us was very friendly and helpful.
On the emailing/setting the program up, it was very straightforward and they covered all aspects that were needed for us. They were eager to go above and beyond when we needed an extra transfer or to shorten the trip to fit our schedule. Very accommodating- will definitely use then again in the future!

Effortless vacation that exceeded all expectations.
I have recommended Safari Partners already to everyone that I share my Africa experience with. To have Gorillas mingling at our feet in Rawanda, luxury camping in the Botswana wilderness, and exploring the most beautiful coastline I've ever seen in South Africa, made this my best trip ever. Every detail was taken care of flawlessly, the food was 5 star dining, and the people and guides were fun and attentive to every need. Love Blackheath Lodge in Capetown! Everything was above my expectations.

Thinking of Africa - Book Safari Partners
Safari Partners did an excellent job helping us to plan our trip to Rwanda and Tanzania. From the beginning, communications were excellent. Chris was very responsive to all of our questions and provided sound advice based on his years of experience planning travel to Africa. Having grown up in the tourism industry myself and traveling a great deal, I must say that Safari Partners raised the bar. Every aspect of the trip was top drawer. We chose to stay at 3 star hotels and we found the ones that Chris booked to be superb. Chris’ advice on time spent in each place proved to be wise. The ground services were excellent. The guides were on time, very knowledgeable and DID EVERYTHING to make our trip enjoyable and comfortable. This trip exceeded our expectations
We found Rwanda to be very clean, safe, modern, progressive and comfortable as Chris indicated it would be. Being with the gorillas there was an experience of a lifetime. In Tanzania our guide went to great extremes so that we got to see all of the "Big Five" as well as many other interesting animals. We even witnessed the migration in Tanzania. We all highly recommend that you book your next safari with "Safari Partners."

Wonderful experience
My wife and I have recently returned from an amazing time in South Africa and Zimbabwe. The trip exceeded our expectations in every way thanks to the itinerary arranged by and the local knowledge evinced by Safari Partners. Our accommodations, meals, transportation and tours, including safaris were excellent and left us wishing we could go back. If we do, Safari Partners will again be making the arrangements for us. They're exceptional.

The most amazing trip ever!!
Chris and the Safari Partners are absolute experts in Africa. They planned the perfect honeymoon for me and my husband to Kenya and Tanzania....from the first minute to the last minute, everything was incredible. They organized everything so I could sit back, relax, and truly enjoy my vacation. Chris' knowledge about Africa is amazing. I will definitely be using Safari Partners on my next African journey!

Fabulous trip to Rwanda
The Safari Partners were recommended to us by some friends who travelled with them in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda. From the beginning, Chris was super helpful, very knowledgeable and really helped us to plan our trip. From the moment we arrived and were met at the airport, we had a fantastic experience. Everything was smooth, and our driver/guide, Duncan, was incredible! He made sure that we had an amazing experience in the parc, and we saw two gorilla families. Both experiences were awesome, the hotel was great and Duncan made sure that we had great trek experiences. We also enjoyed our time in Kigali, where Duncan took care of us as well. Chris was really helpful too and I would recommend Safari Partners to anyone.
