Dedicated and Harding working
My wife and I had an excellent 10 day safari adventure with Charles. He is a responsible man and always drive carefully. We have seen the big five through our whole trip and even our first day at Maasai Mara we have seen a group of baby lions with their mothers. We had a great time in Kenya and we will go back again when we had chance.

Best trip ever
When you just past the first day, you already think that anything cant be better but traveling with Lush will make you ask that every single day, they know exactly the places, spots, stories, hotels, food, everything was amazing.
If i could be able to do this trip in the future, i wont even search for anyone else, the attention since you contact them, they make you feel that traveling to Africa is so easy, you dont need to worry about anything.

Deeply knowledgeable and hugely efficient
We have just returned from our first trip with Luxury Safari and I have to say from start to finish they were just incredible.
This was a big trip for us as a family, something that was years in the making in our minds and Rose and her team just made the whole experience magical and effortless. It was our first time doing a trip like this with our young children which initially felt a little daunting but Luxury Safari took all of those worries away.
I am so pleased we didn’t try and do a trip like this on our own - without doubt we will use Luxury Safari again.

Excellent agency for personalized safaris!
We were a group of six from Spain and contacted Cornelius via WhatsApp to arrange everything from here. He speaks Spanish and answered all our questions before the trip. He also worked within our budget and made it as easy as possible for us to customize the safari to our liking. Cornelius and our guide (Laurian) were fantastic! We would definitely recommend them.

Patient and competent advice
Tammy made our safari a truly special highlight. We followed her advice and did not regret it for a second. Our safari was simply amazing and will stay with us forever.
Tammy was very patient during the consultation and answered every question quickly and competently. We would recommend her at any time and would gladly rely on her again for our next trip to South Africa.

Umkumbe lodge rocks
We have nothing but praise for our bush experience with Umkumbe and our guide Pieter and our tracker Phineas. The game drives were exciting and successful in finding all the big game we hoped for. Pieter has deep knowledge of the wildlife and got us to some awesome viewing positions. We always had a refreshment break, one morning even fresh crepes with fruit and whipped cream. The camp itself is top shelf with very helpful and pleasant staff and excellent meals. I have no suggestions for improvements. It was all so great.

Excellent all round!
We had a very seamless experience with Nhlalala Travel. We actually found them through reviews and they were not lying. Norman really was so good with communication from start to finish. It was great value for money and we would definitely recommend. We were picked up from our hotel in Joburg and driven to Kruger gate hotel with two lovely drivers - one of which was Normans brother (only tiny feedback was quite fast and erratic driving!). They were lovely and chatty in the car and so polite and welcoming. But also respected when we wanted a little nap.
The organisation of the safari drives was seamless and on the Saturday main drive, we were actually the only people in our vehicle so felt very special.
Thanks so much to the whole team!

Communicative and well executed.
From the planning to the execution, everything was easy and enjoyable.
Excellent tour, well designed, great tour leader
Our full day tour of Soweto with lunch and then the apartheid museum was excellent. Carson our tour leader did a fabulous job of providing interesting history and folklore about our various sites. Additionally, he was an excellent driver and answered a lot of our general questions about South Africa and the Pretoria and Johannesburg area. We had an excellent lunch of Local fare. Throughout our trip, we felt well cared for and safe. I would highly recommend this store company, and if I had more time in Johannesburg, I would ask for Carson to be my guide again.

Flexibility & Excellence in Execution
So we chose to go to Diani on holiday in Feb this year. Got Lilian of Ruby Voyages to do all the bookings (flights, hotels, transfers). Super-efficient, Lilian is. Every detail booked as per our requirements with no fuss. Then on date of departure, there is an airport workers strike at JKIA! Our flight to Diani cancelled by the airline (same to other flights!). But Lilian stayed calm, and lo and behold, she quickly arranged for us to travel down south by train (SGR!). Pick up from the train station to the hotel was waiting for us when we arrived. No fuss, and we got to our hotel as planned, and our holiday went on as planned. Best part? Lilian arranged for me to get the refund from the airline for the cancelled flight. Again, no fuss. A message just arrived on my WhatsApp: "Your refund is ready, how would you like to get it" (bank transfer, Mpesa mobile wallet, etc).
Wow! Really excellent experience with Ruby Voyages. I would strongly recommend them, and I will definitely use their services again!
