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.

Best Tour Operator that we have had ghe pleasure of dealing with
Safari Online was professional, considerate and from our brief Walter Kohrs declped a tailor-made tour of the Okavango Delta that was perfect for our family. We were kept informed and updated along the way from the initial proposed tour video to the final app with all our tour information. Safari Online worked within our budget and presented us with an amazing experience that was well worth the expense as everything was included in the price.
Compliments to Wilderness Safaris who managed our local Botswana travel to the Okavango. Transfers to and from the various camps by small aircraft proceeded like clockwork without any delays or complications.
We visited three Camps in the Delta and Linyanti Concession-
Tubu Tree Camp was beauifully appointed and met all our expectations - hospitality of the staff, comfort of the lodge, excellent game drives and plentiful nutrional and tasty meals. We felt pampered at all times, nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
Pelo Camp was a gem on a beautiful island, small intimate setting and refreshingly rustic with amazing attentive staff who were friendly and wonderful hosts. The food was exceptional. The beauty of this camp was it's location on the overwhelming vast waterways to navigate by mokoro and boat wih an abundance of bird sightings. We also experinced great game drives and incredible sunsets from this camp.
Our final destination was Wilderness Savuti Camp. The rooms were beautifully appointed with all the amenties of a 5 star Lodge. The meals were substantial and delcious with a wide variety at each meal to cater for everoune's palate. A highlight was going on a night game drive to see nocturnal animals not always visible in the day.
All the camps welcomed us to boma evenings which were heartwarming and special, giving us a glimpse of all the staff that contributed in making our visit to each of the camps so incredible and memorable.
Thank you Botswana, we will never forget you and your people!

Safari Online: this company is a pearl!!
In 2023 I began researching a trip from the USA to South Africa. The primary reason for the trip was game drives. But while there we also wanted to see Cape Town. Then, I also decided to tack on Victoria Falls while in the neighborhood. My wife and I have traveled extensively. I have, with some advice, always handled all of the arrangements myself. I worked with Karina at Safari Online, and after several emails, sample itineraries, and two phone calls, I gave her the reins. I handled all the international air bookings and left everything else to her. Hotels, lodges, domestic flights, ground transfers….everything! My wife and and I couldn’t be happier with our trip. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING went off without a a single hitch. It was the trip of a lifetime! I highly recommend Karina and Safari Online. We have only been home 10 days, but we are already discussing returning.

Sabrina was FANTASTIC with our African adventure - professional and patient at all times!
Safari Online has been indispensable to us in planning all aspects of our first (but not last) African tour! Our operator, Sabrina, always answered our questions completely and quickly via email. She was also there for us as we changed plans (multiple times) and asked questions (numerous times). Always amiable, she stuck with us until we had the PERFECT itinerary - covering all aspects of the trip (travel, lodging, activities, financial).
The value that Safari Online provided us cannot be overstated! Our trip went off like clockwork. ALL drivers were waiting for us, super personable, and very proud of the service they provided. Our Cape Town tour included the colorful Bo Kaap neighborhood, Table Mountain, and a peninsula drive to see Cape Point, Cape Bay of Good Hope, and the adorable penguins. We then flew to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, for a remarkable sunset dinner cruise, and of course a tour of the waterfalls, including seeing a lunar rainbow! Next, we were driven to Chobe Elephant Camp in Botswana - nothing could top this!! Accommodations, gourmet food, safaris, and people who treated you like family. We saw the Big Five within 24 hours.
Each of us has decided to go back to Africa as soon as possible utilizing this agency, and Sabrina!

Extremely helpful and accommodating.
Thank you Ilona for your help and recommendations in planning our trip. The information provided in addition to the itinerary was really useful, as was your assistance with payments processes. You were always quick to respond and especially helpful when needed during a difficult time. We were expecting an amazing trip but this was far better than amazing. Thank you so much !!! Would highly recommend using Sarari Online.

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.

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!

Exceeded expectations not one glitch anywhere highly recommend.
Just returned from an11night safari to Botswana and Zimbabwe arranged by Ilona at Safari Online. What an amazing experience!!
I am still pinching myself. Every detail was perfect from beginning to end. We loved Camp Xaxanaka, Oscar the resident hippo, our guide Harry was amazing and the staff …incredible. We also loved Chobe Hills in Savute! Shout out to our guide Kennedy for an amazing leopard experience. Chobe Game Lodge was a treat after “glamping out” . And Insika Lodge, Victoria Falls…spectacular. We met amazing people and had an incredible experience from beginning to end.
I highly recommend Safari Online should you need to book a trip to Africa.
