A perfect first safari experience!
Our family of four just returned from our first trip to Africa, booked with Chris at the Safari Partners, and it was an amazing experience. As we had not travelled to Africa before, Chris made recommendations on countries and camps knowing our priority was animal safaris. It was a flawless experience and our family of four (2 adults, 2 teenagers) loved every minute. We started in Johannesburg with an overnight stay and enough time to visit the Apartheid museum. The next day we flew to Zimbabwe for two nights to see Victoria Falls and participate in safari drives and a river cruise. Our stay at Victoria Falls River Lodge was amazing. Then we moved to Botswana where we spent 6 nights at three different “Desert and Delta” camps, which were exceptional! The food, camp staff, guide knowledge and accommodations exceeded all expectations in every location we stayed. And the coordinated effort of moving us between countries and camps was flawless. We had a very detailed website created by Chris detailing the specifics of our trip in advance and we received an information package about our travels prior to departing. Chris was quick to answer any questions we had and choose the perfect custom safari experience for the four of us.
It was the trip of a lifetime for our family and we would use Chris at the Safari Partners again for another African Adventure. We would encourage anybody interested in travelling to Africa to contact Chris—his customer service and knowledge of the continent are fantastic!

Well organized, polite, friendly and very patient
I rate the service as totally excellent. The tour operator was very patient with us and took time to take us through the available packages and activities. I had really high expectations coming on this trip, and the safari tour exceeded these expectations. Their communication was very efficient and we were kept updated every step of the way. I would recommend them to anyone and would use their service again next time.

Great Safari!
Great tour with Peter. We saw a large variety of game during a very short layover game drive in Nairobi National Park. Highly recommended!

Safari Online was very professional and they were very quick in responding to all our concerns.
Our tour of Victoria Falls and Botswana was perfect. The lodges were wonderful and we were able to see so many wonderful sights and animals. Our three charter flights and crossing of the border between Zimbabwe and Botswana, all arranged by Safari Online, went smoothly. Walter Kohrs of Safari online provided excellent information on what to pack, which currency to use and information on what to expect about border crossings and at the lodges. He was quick to respond to our initial inquiry and always answered our questions and concerns promptly.

A Safari Experience That Is Set Apart
Finding a safari company in Arusha to serve as transport, guide, and handler of permits and accommodations is simple. There are hundreds. It seems as if everyone either is a guide or knows someone who owns a safari company. So how to pick where to spend your hard-earned money to ensure your dream holiday isn’t a run-of-the-mill experience? I didn’t find asking previous “safarians” helpful. They had nothing which which to compare, and everyone wants to think their experience was the best, right?
Enter Bartho. Does personality and passion count when deciding on a safari? Yes! One is sitting for hours in a vehicle looking at the animals and landscapes. He better be funny, amusing, clever, and willing to go to extra lengths to make me happy. I had the benefit of having been on a previous safari, so I knew exactly what I wanted and Bartho delivered it: speakers/playlists for the long drives to the parks and back, favorite snacks and drinks, specific meal requests for my Maasai friend, early entry to avoid crowds, campground with a view, a safe driver (if you’ve “safari-ed” you know what I mean), and information beyond, “Look, there’s a lion.”
I’m a selective consumer and critical by nature. I had a wonderful time with Bartho and Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Communicate your desires for your ideal Safari, and he will make them come true.

Kenya experience with David and Tim was exceptional beyond description!
David of Elida Tours arranged a safari tour to the Masai Mara for myself and other church mission team members in July, and it was extraordinary. The lodging and food at Base Camp resort was outstanding, and the game drives with Tim, our driver, were magnificent. Tim is exceedingly knowledgeable about Kenyan wildlife, vegetation, and culture, and he went out of his way to give us the very best experience possible. After our mission trip I spent additional time in Nairobi with family who came to meet up with me, and David and Tim again assisted me there, providing rides to and from the airport for myself and family, and also a tour through the Nairobi National Park, again an exceptional experience. Elida Tours & Safaris and David and Tim made our time in Africa more wonderful than we had imagined was possible, and at a very reasonable and affordable price. Without question, I would use Elida Tours again for future travel.

Fantastic, Great Service and Value Chobe Day Trip
This was the least expensive Chobe National Park Day trip from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe that I came across, but it was a total winner!
The communication ahead of time and pick up was all done with efficiency and friendliness. The border crossing into Botswana was made easy.
The morning boat safari on the Chobe River was awesome. We saw more than 100 buffalo, many hippos, Impalas, crocodiles, and more. The lunch buffet at the posh Chobe Safari lounge was absolutely first class.
The afternoon driving safari showed us more than 100 elephants, Kudu, giraffes, wart hogs, Impala, and hippos.
The company does a Five Star job and you end up with a beautiful African safari experience!

Excellent Service
Really enjoyed our safari experience with our guide. Very punctual and friendly with enough information to satisfy the curious. Will definitely be back for more
Superb!
A huge thank you to Gloria who helped make our honeymoon amazing. Gloria was very easy to get a hold of, and readily answered any questions we had. My husband was in the USA at the time and I was in South Africa and Gloria was very patient with the time zone snags. She got to know us on a personal level which helped her plan the perfect honeymoon for us. The itinerary was informative and very nicely laid out we never felt lost as we met different representatives along the way, every detail was thought of. One of the many aspects of our trip that we loved was that it was very flexible, we had a few set times for different activities but we also had time to do our own thing. Our safari experience was superb! The lodgings were fantastic and the sightings were amazing! We’d definitely go through Safari.com again.
