Bespoke luxury
Rose has an uncanny ability to understand exactly what we wanted . We have just returned from the best family holiday ever on the Garden Route starting with Capetown and ending on safari in Kariega Private Reserve. We had South African political history, great oceans and nature reserves, nature walks, horseriding, vineyards, wildlife interaction activities and safari and excellent food and wine - something for everyone in the family.
Rose really shows the difference a travel agent makes who really knows the location and the accommodation offerings. The hotels and lodges in which we stayed were each special and unique and were a highlight in themselves.

Great experience - smooth arrangements
We spent from 22 Dec to 1 Jan in Tanzania, and Rose took care of our arrangements. Normally we would do logistics ourselves, but given we were moving around camps, and had a strong recommendation from friends to go through Rose, we decided to use Luxury Safari.
Really pleased with the camps they arranged, Sayari and Kusini. Also, we had to change flight arrangements slightly and they organized the accommodation and connections to adjust for this.
It was a great family trip, and we have fantastic memories. Worth the investment!

Fantastic and Worry Free
Rose and her team were fantastic from the moment of first contact until the end of our trip. Communication was swift and effective and she was able to understand exactly what we wanted and put together an amazing trip. We were in 4 different locations over 3 weeks, and although we had some idea of what we wanted to do, she was able to bring it all together for us. She also was not fazed when we changed our plans a month before going and rearranged things effectively and with no complaint! All of our internal flights and transfers appeared as planned and made the whole trip hassle free and meant we were able to relax and properly enjoy our holiday. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rose and her team - you would be in totally safe hands.

Hakuna Matata
Rose and her team created a worry-free, two-week, life-changing experience for my first safari. I spent the majority of my research time looking for the right tour company. Once I found Rose, the whole thing was booked in three days. She absolutely "got" what I was after as an experience, but also took care of every logistical detail and booking. As they say, Hakuna Matata (no worries). I never bothered to check my itinerary once I arrived, knowing everyone was taking care to get me where I needed to be. It was exactly what I needed-to be freed from the responsibility of arranging flights, bookings, etc. Rose took care of all of that seamlessly for me, allowing me to relax and enjoy the safari experience.
Rose made an extra effort to take care of me since I was traveling solo, informing the camps and making sure I had the best in accommodations, meals, and guides for game drives. She listened to the type of experience I was after and matched me with perfect locations. She also knew the rhythm of a two-week trip, and made sure to bookend the experience with peaceful, relaxing, and luxurious camps to unwind, get over jet lag, and enjoy the holidays.
Many times during the trip I said, "I love Rose" or "Rose is amazing." I loved every camp (4 total) I stayed in-each with it's own terrain, animal viewing, and staff personalities. I completely trusted in her to create this trip for me, and I can't wait to plan my next one with her! Thanks Rose!

Life changing week!!
After searching and searching online i came across Rose and the Luxury Safari Company (among the countless other operators) and immediately knew this was the company! You can feel the heart of Africa through the website and that's what got me. Emailed and got a response straight away (despite the time difference). Rose and her team responded and answered all my questions and Rose was in touch with me the entire time. Her trips are full of surprises and attention to detail - down to making sure my husband had Hendricks Gin and cucumber for his sundowners :) I'm so glad i went with the Luxury Safari Company and would absolutely and most highly recommend them to anyone wanting a once in a lifetime, unforgettable experience. Rose suggested everything as i had no idea and had never been to Africa before. We were met with smiling faces wherever we went and did not once lift a finger. It really was such a magical experience and we cannot wait to use them again for our next trip!!! Thank you Rose and team for a life-changing trip and for all the wonderful little things that made our honeymoon absolutely perfect! x

Very well organised and executed trip
Have just returned from 10 days in South Africa, combining a few days in Cape Town and then a 5 day safari. The whole trip was combined to an excellent standard with everything considered and professionally executed. The safari lodge especially was absolute luxury along with the best service from a team of great people. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rose and her team to source and deliver a first class luxury safari - they clearly understand this sector to perfection.
A perfect selection of excitement and luxury
Everything worked out perfectly - and the tour was just wonderful. Great safaris, wonderful places.

Trip of a lifetime!!
We booked our honeymoon with Rose, and had the most amazing trip EVER! She did a great job incorporating everything we wanted, and everything went off without a hitch.
We did some research into safari travel companies, and spoke to the major tour companies and few smaller ones, and ultimately went with the Luxury Safari Company because of Rose's personal reviews and how quickly she responded to emails and answered our questions. I'm so glad we went with her, and felt like we really got the personal attention we needed.
We basically ended up doing three trips - the beach, safari and wine country. We ended up going to an island off of Mozambique for 5 days that we got to by helicopter, spent 5 days at Londolozi in Sabi Sands, and then 2 nights in Franschhoek. Everything was customized to our preferences and requests and each part of the honeymoon was perfect! Almost all of it was paid for upfront which made it easier, and we knew what we were getting. She arranged transportation for each part of the trip and booked our local flights which was also very helpful.
We would absolutely recommend using Rose, she was incredibly knowledgeable, was always reachable, and answered the million questions we had. I wish we could do it again!!

First time to Africa and fantastic experience throughout the tour
Just finished a 3 week tour and all the family rated it the best holiday ever and that is a big statement for an Asian based Aussie expat who has travelled the world for 30+ years. Effectively everything within reason was included (apart from the tips)- transfers, accomodation, internal flights, full board, drinks and laundry so we only spent money on gifts. Some great guides, superb accomodation and the eperience of a life time
Key question you always ask- if you had the time again, what would you change? For us- Nothing!. It exceeded our already high expectation
Great Experience
We booked our honeymoon with Rose to South Africa and I can honestly say it was the most amazing trip. Everything was organised from the minute we stepped off the plane, everything was perfect. Rose was great at listening to what we wanted and giving her professional advice and personal experiences. If you want to have an amazing holiday then book with the Luxury Safari Company. We have already recommended them to our family and friends and would definitely use them again. We had a honeymoon to remember and loved every minute.
