Passionate and exciting
5/5

I am at the stage of looking to book a safari in Africa again. The memories I have of travelling with Clive Arnold in 2008 have remained the best time in my life. Every day was a buzz, he was relaxed, casual but so good at what he does. With his knowledge of the country and associates who assist in Africa, safety wasn't something we thought about. The accommodation and food was amazing. I even got married at Vic Falls incorporated into the middle of the Safari and Clive was amazing at helping with this to happen. I remember when in more popular locations seeing other tour groups/operators and being so glad I travelled with Safaris into Africa in a small group with someone so experienced. I cannot wait to go again.

The review below is the personal opinion of Lachlan and not that of SafariBookings.
He turned up every morning looking like a hobo .
2/5

Extremely poor customer experience. . He was extremely unprofessional and arrogant on at least 20 occasions. Clive looked like a Hobo every morning. He made many promises as to timing and service levels that were a complete lie . I will list these travesties over a 10 day period. We pulled out early due to his extremely unprofessional behaviour.
Mala Mala . A guide that took us close to a White Rhino ( 20 feet ) and it was going to charge . Clive did nothing and said nothing ??? He thinks that , TIA , This is Africa , is an excuse for condoning exploitation of animals . He asked us to arrive 3 hours early to Joburg Airport on our way to Victoria Falls airport so he could secure seats right up the front because he spoke the local language. He being the tour leader took the 1B seat on the bulkhead and his clients got the 63 row . He constantly crapped on about being shot 9 times when he owned a farm near Krocodile river when in in reality he was shot once with a shotgun with SSG nine ball . I have 2 friends that have been shot by 9 ball shotgun. 1 survived , one didn’t and he carried on like he was special. A Racist cunt and I have recordings of you . We were promised the Okavango Delta but were not even taken close . Nwambe Lodge was a no electricity, cold water , cluster fuck .
Clive , we have unfinished business after Your garbage service .
Beware of this company’s propaganda.
We have been on many international tours , and these people suck .
Best of luck, Side Show Clive .
Improve your service .
