Best trip ever!!!!
What an amazing trip! We first met our guide, Anicet Philip, at the Dallas Travel and Adventure show. We knew exactly who would be taking us on our safari. Communication with him was excellent from the beginning which made the booking process smooth sailing. Once we got there everything was just as Anicet had described. He was such a wonderful guide...full of knowledge! We traveled with 3 small children ages 5, 8, and 10, and Anicet was fantastic with them. He explained everything to the kids and even taught us all some Swahili. He was extremely accommodating of our desires. He was so great at putting us right on top of all the animals. We saw them all! He even surprised us one day with a lunch in the bush with a private chef and everything. We had no idea that was going to happen! I cannot praise Anicet enough. Not only is he a wonderful guide, but he's become a friend to us. Everything was perfect on our trip, and if we ever went back we would definitely use him again.

A good experience in nature, well organised and according to the price.
Our Safari was well organised and was better than we thought. The wildlife was amazing as well as the scenery. Food and accoodation were sometimes much better than we had expected. And our guide was a very responsible driver and he really made great efforts to spot as many animals as possible.
I hope to repeat this experience soon.

Great safari!
Overall a fantastic tour with a great guide and a great chef! We saw four of the big five up close. We really recommend this operator to anyone looking for a budget option safari.

Good experience, excellent servise from operators
Our safari trip to Selous game reserve was perfectly organized. We stayed two nights at a budget accomodation. It was perfectly suitable for us. We had a driver/guide and a chef with us. The food was so good and it was more than enough for us. We took a full day game drive which was a good experience. I would not recommed the walking safari. It was just walking in the near by forest and looking at the baobab trees and other vegetation. Not a good experience. Consentrate on the game drives. Those will give you so much more.

A promise not fulfilled
Victoria falls are breathtaking and definitely worth the trip. The way to reach them needs carefull attention though. Being stuck in an airport for a full day, we have been initially supported by Falcon in a correct way. However, we got the promise in the bus, in front of other witnesses, that the safari day to Bostwana (which was cancelled due to shortage of time) would be refunded. Guess what, back home this was no longer the case. While Falcon Safaris seems to have been very responsive, this no longer existed when money was at stake, and we got no refund for hotel and not for the safari, while the later had been promised, otherwise we might have chosen to sacrifize the cruise on the river. I had paid in advance the park entrance. I can only recommend, pay the minimum in advance. It's when you have troubles that the average and the great can make a difference. The refusal for any further discussions was also disappointed.
Last point, not entirely disconnected to the experience on this trip and not the fault of Falcon Safaris: don't be foolish and pay more thinking you get safer with South African Airways. Worst experience ever: lost the luggage, delayed and missed the connexion without any apology, 4 hours, yes 4 hours of fight to get a boarding pass for the flight on the next day.
