Stunning views, awesome food, great people.
Travelling in May the weather was fair and temperatures comfortable between 22-28 degrees. Umkumbe Safari lodge was absolutely stunning and the game drives very good. Booking and confirmation with Rochelle Buys was very straightforward and left us at ease and answered any questions we had prior to travel. As for the safari, we managed to see Lion, Leopard, Pangolin, Elephant and Rhino all on the same drive! Food at the lodge was exceptional and the staff very friendly. A big shout out to Jurie our driver on our game drives, what a friendly, knowledgeable guide. It's something I definitely want to do again and would recommend everyone to try Umkumbe!

Trip of. Lifetime
We went first week of June and weather was perfect, cool mornings and evenings and about 25degrees centigrade in the middle of the day. Scenery and wildlife were incredible and the parks are relatively quiet so no mobs of vehicles. Saw the big 5 plus loads of other animals and birds galore.
Parks - 1 day Tarangire, 2 days Serengeti and 1 day Ngorongoro Crater which was perfect. Would make it an absolute must, great experience, very friendly people, and we felt very safe.

Awesome tour through Namibia with Nature Travel Namibia
Nature Travel Namibia and especially our guide Wilson made our tour through Namibia an unforgettable experience. The communication prior to our trip was great and once on the tour Wilson was accessible 24/7 for anything we needed or any questions we had. Our lodges were all beautiful and much nicer than we expected or would have even booked for ourselves. Both the company and Wilson were very reliable and always professional. We feel for the beautiful lodges, the amount of activities included, the amount of ground we covered, and especially for Wilson’s impeccable knowledge and professionalism, the price was well worth it!

Kim W helped us design a perfect holiday to celebrate a big anniversary.
Kim was very responsive while we modified our itinerary early on to cater to our budget and wish list. When we had our location and accommodations, she also helped giving us great ideas for activities in Cape Town. We started with a safari in Sabi Sands, on to Cape Town for a couple days including a shark cage dive and city explorer day, the Zambia/Victoria Falls, and finishing at China in Botswana. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. All along the way, Kim would send us our boarding passes the day before a flight. She is a gem!

Brilliant budget safari
A brilliant experience with a great tour guide. Benson was very helpful from the start, answering all my questions and making the process very easy to book. He ensured we were well looked and would message frequently to make sure we got on our transfers and arrived safely. The safari experience itself was amazing and the tour guide did a great job of showing us around and makeing sure we got the best view of the lions and cheetahs. Accomodation was okay considering we were in the middle Masai Mara. Food was okay.

Best Tourguide Ever!!!
We had the most amazing experience with our Tour guide Vuyo.
The experience exceeded our expectations! The guide was incredible. He went out of his way to help us catch a view of all the animals!
He was in touch with the other game drivers by radio so he knew where the sightings were throughout the day.
We saw the big 5 before breakfast.
The knowledge and love for the animals and nature poured out of him it was a truly AMAZING experience with a exceptional guide.

Travel to and from Kenya and internally.
The team at Kenya Safari Arcade were very responsive to my international and domestic trip requirements and provided timely and supportive information regarding travel to and from Kenya and for travel within. Having previously used the skills of Edith and Ruphina, I was very comfortable in returning to them for their experience and of sharing their details with friends. I had a great time on safari and the coast and would love to return again sometime soon.

Best Trip Ever
Hi Lindy,
Just got off the phone to you and thought I had better reply straight away incase the world got in the way and I forgot.
Mum Kevin and myself had the best time in South Africa and would not have changed a thing in the itinerary.
If we had to pick a highlight it was The Hyde. Daryl and Toppers were amazing along with all the staff. Food, atmosphere, wildlife did not disappoint. Even the 5.30am cool mornings in a tent were ok as we got dressed so quickly to meet the car. Hot water bottle was a welcome surprise in the evening bed. We felt we had privacy yet met some wonderfull people.They have the business plan all worked out.
All our pickups were ready and waiting for us throughout the stay and the detailed information given and also the app made checking easy. We loved the small air flights and the longest drive was to Motswari and we saw elephants, Lions, Wild Dogs,and Buffalo on the drive in.
Vic Falls was a relaxing interlude and the helicopter ride was a must to really understand the topography of the falls. It was also the best souvenir shopping in the streets walking back from the falls.
Rissington Inn was a relaxing transition to Motswari.
Motswari was very comfortable and once again would not have changed a thing. Due to the density of the trees and undergrowth animals were a little harder to find, but find we did. The only animal we did not see in our travels was a Cheetah. The accomodation was the most comfortable overall but The Hide won on a lot of little extras eg waterproof wool lined ponchos on the drives. And an almost over abundance of animals.
One again I would just like to thank you all so much for listening to our brief and your attention to every detail eg tipping, weather, what to pack, etc. I can not tell you how many times we easily could refer to all your info.
Please feel free to show future guests this information.
Warmest regards,
Jeannette,Sue and Kevin.

Best holiday ever - made even better by the service provided by Kim W
From start to finish Kim was amazing.
She provided a suggested itinerary, which over a couple of weeks was tweaked to give us a perfect plan for our safari in Botswana and Vic Falls.
We chatted over WhatsApp, which made things very easy.
3 days before our departure date I ended up in hospital with a chest infection. This is when Kim really came to the rescue.
She managed to rebook everything for a week later. She made herself available over the weekend.
I cannot speak highly enough of how Kim helped rescue our holiday. I have travelled extensively over many decades and Kim is by far the best I have ever come across.
And the holiday. Well that was amazing. Every lodge in Botswana was top class and the stay at Vic Falls equally fantastic.
If you want a safari to remember don't think twice about using Safari Online.
The other bonus was the cost was 20% cheaper than the competitors.
Kim we cannot thank you enough.
