Peace of mind
Found Chris at the Safari Partners online and he proved to be a fantastic resource during the planning and booking of our 3-week African vacation. He arranged a NBO Airport pick-up for us as well as the entire Rwanda portion of our vacation. There is something so comforting about stepping out of a busy airport to see a smiling face holding up a sign with your name on it! Stress-free and peace of mind!
The advice was excellent and the local company we were connected with were obviously top-notch. Everything went off without an issue and we were able to simply focus on enjoying the sights, scenery, wonderful people and the animals (gorillas!!!) of Rwanda. A country not to be missed!

A Lifetime experience
It was with some trepidation that we looked into a holiday in South Africa, not confident in it's safety. We needn't have been concerned. Chris understod perfectly our concerns and preferences. His organization, the leisurely scheduling, the boutique hotels, itinerary and transfers were flawless. His choice of Game Reserve in Timbavati, and the Garden route suited perfectly and were beyond anything we expected. o cap it all , his recommendation to take the "Rovos " train back from Cape Town to Pretoria was the crowning excitement! It truly was the the " most luxurious train journey in the world"
Thanks Chris and staff.

A wonderful Safari trip in Botswana
When we started planning our safari trip in Zimbabwe and Botswana, we contacted The Safari Partners and Chris immediately answered us with some proposals for our Honeymoon which were perfectly adjusted to our desires. He was also very flexible to adapt the trip to our budget and plans.
During the trip itself everything was perfect. All the transfers and lodges were smoothly planned and well chosen. I am very glad to have chosen Chris and all his staff to plan my Honeymoon. If you decide to work with them for sure you will not regret!
Thank you Chris and staff!

Amazing Trip
Itinerary, (30 + days) was perfectly planned. Our expectations were exceeded, and we look forward to doing it again. Chris and Safari Partners looked after every detail. His recommendation to add Namibia to our journey was well worth it. The 'andBeyond' lodges in Botswana and Namibia were magical, and our accommodation in between was perfect. We highly recommend Safari Partners.

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.

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!

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.

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."
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!

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 :)
