Wonderfully planned and executed with limited lead time!
5/5

Fantastic all around. Great quality of resorts picked and transfers. Support provided at every stage
A little handbook of travel tips and things to keep in mind would have been a bonus. The Hide was a wonderful experience, the staff there and the rooms was a remarkable experience. We didn't want to come back!

A spectacular weekend and spectacular service
5/5

I only had two nights free for a side-trip to Kruger national park, and not much time to organise it. Giada at Safari.com took the challenge in hand, gathering my requirements and providing options to choose from almost the same day (only time zones caused the delay!). She organised flights to fit with my pre-booked business trip, car transfers to and from the airport and a stay at Lukimbi lodge - I didn't have to organise a thing. Any questions were answered straight away, and when one of my flights experienced a delay, a quick call to Giada meant that the transfer was rescheduled and the accommodation notified on my behalf.
Staying at Lukimbi was a great choice - the 5 star lodge is in a private concession within Kruger National Park. The rooms are amazing, with views straight out over a waterhole and wildlife everywhere. The lodge organises two game drives at dawn and dusk each day, plus a guided walk (all activities optional), with all meals included (delicious and plentiful). Guests are allocated into small groups with a dedicated ranger and tracker, so you get to know each other over the course of your stay, and have different experiences each day. The private concession means this area of the park is not open to the general public and there are far fewer vehicles around. My visit was right at the end of the dry season - the landscape was dry and stark but stunningly beautiful, and full of all the wildlife you'd want to see. I only wish I'd had longer to enjoy it. All the staff at Lukimbi were amazing. As a solo female traveler I felt comfortable and well looked after throughout my trip.

Very professional and efficient
5/5

Mandy was very efficient and got us booked on relatively short notice. The stay at Mpili camp in the Imfolozi reserve was great although the variety and number of game was a bit disappointing. Overall it was a very nice break.

5/5

I am sure my holiday would not have been such a wonderful experience if it not for the guidance and efficiency of Safari.com. Giada always made herself available through email and phone, immediately responding to any of my queries and making everything seem so easy with a gentle and kind disposition. I travelled through 4 countries in Africa and all my bookings and transfers and travels all ran very efficiently, I was left with absolutely no nothing to worry about and enjoyed a wonderful holiday, thank you. I would recommend Safari.com and also Africa Travel Co who I travelled with, also the hotels that were recommended were excellent.

Fantastic, very well looked after!
5/5

We were very pleased with this company and Giada in particular who has been amazing! She was so patient with us while going through all the various options in order to plan our trip. Her insights were invaluable in making the right choices of were to stay and things to do. Even when we had to make last minute changes to the itinerary due to flight delays or changing our tours due to weather conditions, Giada was available even after hours or weekends to help with everything we needed! She was truly fantastic and we had an amazing time throughout the whole trip. Everything went smoothly and she was there to help with changes when needed. Strongly recommended!!

Sabi Sabi: One of our most remarkable trips ever!
5/5

Our trip to Sabi Sabi was absolutely fantastic. Not knowing what exactly to expect, we were blown away at how wonderful this trip was. The folks at Safari Bookings did a superb job of putting together our travel and accommodation package. The people were so nice and outgoing. We saw and learned amazing things because everyone at Little Bush Camp cared so much. Our Guide and Tracker, Fred and Zeb, made sure we got to see every possible item and every animal that was possible. The staff at Little Bush Camp were just outstanding. Qoli, Ryder, and Mumsy made sure we were never hungry or thirsty. The accommodations were jaw dropping. We could not have imagined anything as great as this. There is no doubt that we will return, just as quickly as we can.

5/5

The attention and service was excellent at all times, from the planning of the trip to the return home. The safaris and the lodge were also very satisfactory. I would emphasize the kindness and hospitality of all Sabi Sabi Little Bush staff. Many thanks to everyone because we have enjoyed one of the best vacations we have ever done

Not great
2/5

No hot water in the Chalet and nobody answers the " after hours" numbers to fix the problem. Not a lot of game sighted at all. Actually nothing sighted but the impala at the Chalet.

First time and it was lovely.
5/5

The whole experience was great once I pinned down my booking as this time of year was very busy. The transport was great, the accommodations were a nice surprise and the people were friendly and helpful. I also thought that it was very reasonable. It couldn't have been a more perfect fit for my Safari wishes. Thank you.
