Brilliant Throughout
Thank you to Ilona for a wonderful safari experience in Botswana. We have been to Africa on a number of occasions but not to Botswana. We researched about 8 different companies and selected Safari Online. Ilona was instrumental in that selection, extremely helpful in advising on the areas and lodges to go to to meet our needs, and the price point was very competitive and super value for money. The communications throughout was second to none with real clarity on what we needed to take , what would be provided etc etc, which meant we ended up in a very relaxed frame of mind when arriving on the safari. Even when our flight was cancelled at the last minute Ilona ensured our international connections would not be disrupted. The safari itself was a 40th wedding anniversary celebration and it was exactly what we were looking for. The lodges , staff and knowledgeable guides were excellent and we saw all the animals (and more) that we were expecting and learnt a lot about Botswana . The icing on the cake was the surprise 40th anniversary dinner which was a lovely thought. I cannot recommend Ilona and Botswana highly enough. Thank you for a great holiday and wonderful memories
Excellent
I was planning an 8-night trip to Botswana for November 2024 and though my trip had to be canceled due to personal reasons, I still want to leave a review for Kareena from Safari Online. Before speaking with Kareena, I had been in touch with 3-4 other travel agents and curators for about 15-20 days. However, their quotes were far too high and didn’t align with my budget. Then I found Kareena through SafariBookings.com, and I was pleasantly surprised by how genuine she was. She provided a well-planned itinerary that fit perfectly within my budget.
From the moment I reached out to her, she was incredibly responsive, answering all my questions promptly and thoroughly. She designed a beautiful trip that I was very excited about. Even though I couldn’t go through with the trip this time, I’m confident in her expertise and Safari Online’s services. I’m definitely looking forward to planning my future Africa trip with Kareena and her company.
Thank you again for the exceptional service!
Helpful, cunning and providing top notch service!
Me and my partner booked a two week trip to South Africa which included safari at two different lodges and a few relaxing days in Cape Town and Hermanus in the end. Everything went so smoothly and our contact Karina at Safari Online was simply the best! From the beginning we got several different suggestions, tailored to our needs and requirements. From the planning of this trip to the completion everything have just worked as it should, we didn't have to think about anything at all really.
The transfers from airport to lodges, between lodges and between boutique hotels were all booked and handled for us, even the domestic flight and check-in was handled! All in all, it was a wonderful experience and such a joy! The lodges and boutique hotels we stayed in were simply fantastic and the tour guide she booked in Cape Town (The fynbos guy) was such a knowledgeable, funny person that really gave us so much insight in both fynbos, animals and general cultural aspects of South Africa and the diversity of the country.
Most efficient with attention to detail- great dedication to plans holiday of a lifetime
First safari and first time in Africa for us. Chose Botswana as a destination as we were looking for the best safari experience. This is a country that delivers the most unique wilderness, wildlife in abundance and a remarkable history. We were also looking for a high end, luxurious holiday where for higher cost we would have the privilege to discover the African wildlife and nature without the crowds. Also found the environment and wildlife policies of the Botswana government quite visionary with sustainability in mind. Before booking this holiday, we had never heard of the company Safari Online but we would never choose anyone else as they delivered a most exquisite and unforgettable holiday for us on every level. The accommodations were most luxurious with 4* or 5* rating, quite a few of them won prices for their efforts in ecotourism. The hospitality, food and the activities organised were incredible. We travelled between six destinations and the transfers were always smooth, reliable and comfortable. The commitment of the staff was remarkable and their knowledge of wildlife and their enthusiasm helped us experience an unforgettable holiday. We fell in love with Africa - and cannot wait to return again.
Great experience with Safari Online
Ilona was great to work with. She arranged our domestic flights and transfers. They all went on time without a hitch. The lodges we stayed at were great with lots of wildlife, and the Big 5. The food was great, and everybody was so friendly and accommodating. Our agent Ilona was prompt with any questions we had. I would definitely use the agency again for any South African photo safaris. We met some wonderful people from all over the world on our trip.
