Snow Leopards in Ladakh and Tigers in Raipur India
Rose put together a wildlife trip for us seeing Snow Leopards in Ladakh and Tigers in Raipur India. The entire trip was absolutely amazing, filled with both nature and culture. We were a little afraid of how cold the Himalayas were going to be but found the the lodging was quite warm and activities were always accompanied by warm tea. During our trip we saw a snow leopard with her two cubs for a four hour period, it was really incredible and thrilling. We then went to Kanha National Park were we saw a tigress with her three cubs, another beautiful and exhilarating experience. Everywhere we went, Rose provided us with the best guides to help us learn about the environment, wildlife and culture fo the area. This is the second trip we've taken with her and have found that each trip we walk away with not just an exhilarating wildlife experience but also with a better understanding of the area we've visited. Looking forward to our next adventure!

Epic Luxury Family Safari
Rose put together a fantastic and unforgettable Safari for my wife, myself and our two boys (9 and 13). I found The Luxury Safari Company randomly off an internet search, and Rose got right back to me and was extraordinarily responsive with me over the ensuing weeks of deciding where to book and for how long throughout Kenya.
Coming from California it was quite a trek to get over to Kenya so my expectations were high, and she really achieved an incredible blend of experiences for our family over two weeks where we stayed at amazing Saruni resorts in Samburu, Masai Mara, and on the coast south of Diani. The trip was flawless and the guides we explored with were super warm, thoughtful, safe and the game drives and food were terrific. I can't say positive about our experience. LOVED IT!!!

Fabulous Family Safari
Rose helped us plan a once in a lifetime family holiday. The accommodations were fantastic, the safaris were breathtaking and the entire trip was seamless. Every detail was covered and we enjoyed every minute of it. We highly recommend The Luxury Safari Company. We can't wait to plan another African adventure!

A magical family Christmas holiday in Kenya......
Our family had high expectations going in, but I can honestly say they were all exceeded! The incredibly intimate wildlife encounters, meeting a Masai tribe in their traditional village, the stunning accommodations, sharing the Christmas lunch feast on the deck of Sirikoi House with Nditu the giraffe..... could go on and on about the lifetime memories this trip generated. By arranging to have us stay at 3 different locations, Rose ensured varied landscape/ wildlife experiences (Big, 5, check, but so, so much more), and the level of service, and ability to respond to special requests, was exemplary from beginning to end.
We can, and have, recommended Rose to anyone without hesitation or reservation.... already scanning the sister company website for possible Antarctic expedition options!

Everything went very smoothly with excellent recommendations.
Very good contact with our agent and good travel details. Wonderful lodges and great personal animal experiences shared just between us and our guide. Our desert island experience on Fanjove was a perfect choice and we loved everything about it. All in all a perfect holiday experience with excellent hosts and guides.
The most spoiling and well-run holiday of a life time in Madagascar
From start to finish, I was absolutely blown away by my holiday at Miavana, Nosy Ankao, a remote, stunning island off Madagascar. The whole trip was so expertly run by Rose at The Luxury Safari Company, I couldn't fault it. It all ran so smoothly and passed in a happy haze of pure luxury and relaxation. I loved riding around the island on quad bikes, and experiencing all the different things the island has to offer: from lemur trekking to picnics on Skeleton Beach. The food at Miavana was exceptional, and the staff all so friendly and helpful. I particularly loved their conservation work and putting back into the surrounding environment and community. Rose was always on hand whenever I needed, and the holiday will go down as one of my most memorable and special. Thank you to The Luxury Safari Company for making it the trip of a lifetime.

A 5 Star Safari Experience!
The Luxury Safari Company was recommended to me by two separate friends who had already been on holidays booked with the company and they had no hesitation in telling me to email Rose Hipwood! Rose and her team were fantastic and responded very quickly (practically instantaneously) to emails. The lodge she recommended after we had discussed our preferences (and budget!) -Singita Sweni in Kruger National Park in South Africa - was fabulous. Service, food, guide (Walter) and tracker (Howard) for the game drives (we saw the big five), lodge manager Dave Waddington, ALL the staff and the room were excellent. The room had two toilets and two showers (one indoors and one outdoors) - useful when rushing for the early morning game drives! Safari vehicle was very comfortable. We felt very well taken care of and safe. The second leg of our holiday to Cape Town and staying at the Cape Grace Hotel with day tours organized was equally good. During the trip, we were met at all times whenever there was a transfer to be done whether at the airport/hotel etc as per the itinerary. The whole process of organizing the trip was seamless and we would definitely book another holiday with the company.

(An overdue review!) Thank-you Rose for helping us plan and enjoy our dream Safari!
From the outset, Rose was excellent at helping us choose the right destinations, accommodations, timings, etc according to our needs. Having travelled extensively, this exceeded all expectations - the plan was fantastic and it was great 'not to have to think' once we got there. We stayed at Mjembe and Sausage Tree in Zambia and Medjumbe island in Mozambique - and cannot recommend them highly enough. Their team are an absolute credit to what they offer. I would definitely recommend booking with LSC. Thank-you!

Amazing safari experience as always - it will be perfect whenever you book with Rose
Rose is amazing and super efficient. She will make sure that you will always be well taken care of. It's our third booking with her, and everything went according to plan - like clockwork.
All the camps that Rose recommended in Namibia were great, with excellent service and experience.

Above and Beyond all Expectations -Zambia and Botswana
Rose organised a 12 night trip for our 3 families ( 6 adults and 7 young adults).It was a combination of the Zambezi and Okawango with a combination of lodges and luxury mobile camping. The trip was flawless, the organisation exceptional , the transfers seamless, the accommodation and guiding excellent . The luxury mobile camping was the highlight and should be tried by all who are able to truly spend a few nights in the wild, in luxury...
