Charms of Africa at its best
Excellent service, everything was scheduled and on time. Every question regrading country, customs or culture were answered with deep knowledge of the subject. The Kruger Park safari was an unforgettable experience. To see those wild animals in direct proximity is giving absolutely amazing feeling. Everybody returned home with beautiful pictures as a souvenirs from this wonderful expedition.
While in South Africa no one should missed the Victoria Waterfalls. This is the place that can be only compared with Grand Canyon. For sure your breath will be taken away.
Safpol Safaris is the only travel office which will show you all that and much more.

Fantastic service, and friendly people
Safpol is an amazing company with a super friendly staff. They planned the tour for us, just the way we wanted it. We had some suggestions for what we wanted to see and experience, and the trip they planned for us was just perfect. Couldn't have been better. They booked everything with hotels, and some of the activities. Which were great. They know their way around in SA. I would recommend them to all my friends and family. They are also easy to communicate with, as they reply quick on emails. This was definitely the best trip of my life.
Excellent service and trip with Safpol
My friend & I contacted Safpol in July 2017, and they were amazing in accommodating us for our 24 day tour of Southern Africa. During our trip, the people from Safpol were always in contact with us to make sure everything was okay. We had no hiccups during our trip and everything went perfectly as planned. We experienced so many wonderful things, stayed in very nice hotels and got many stamps in our passports! I highly recommend Safpol for your travel plans!

Top-notch tour operator
We just came back from the Trip of our Life time to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana a few days ago. All the credit of Safpol.
I initially picked Safpol out of 4 tour operators because(1) their basic itinerary matched very close to what I had in mind; (2) very responsive communication; (3) very good reviews; and (4) close to my budget. After I decided to go with Safpol, the various travel consultants whom I worked with, especially Wilna, all demonstrated very efficient communication as well as a willingness and flexibility to accommodate to my needs. For example, I specifically requested triple rooms as I do not want two separate rooms for the three of us. Safpol made an effort to switch us to triple rooms/suite/2-bedroom apartment in all destinations. I have also requested to add a day of private reserve camp; visit a specific wine estate in the Cape region; as well as a visit to Soweto in Johannesburg. Safpol incorporated all of these requests seamlessly on my basic itinerary.
During the tour, both of my tour guides are very professional, especially Hennie. He was very experienced and knowledgeable about the Kruger area, Johannesburg, the country of South Africa, its economy, politics, culture, history, animal behaviors, environment, eco-system... etc. Truly blessed to have such a great guide.
We did have a little hiccups towards the last part of our trip, when we traveled to Zimbabwe and Botswana. For this portion of the trip, we were guided by a local tour operator in Zimbabwe, that I believed Safpol subcontracted out. The tour itself was fabulous!! However, due to the Air Zimbabwe's changing our flight schedules as well as a miscommunication among the Zimbabwe tour operator, Air Zimbabwe and our driver, the situation was a bit messy and chaotic at one point. Thanks to the intervention of Peter, Safpol's owner, everything was resolved smoothly at the end.
Overall, I can't say anything negative about my experience with Safpol. They totally exceeded my expectation. Highly recommended.
