A Peer into Nature's Wonders in Seven Days
The organization and execution of the wonderful venture was excellent. The service and living conditions at the various places as well as the abundance of a spectrum of animals was beyond my expectation of a seven day safari. For those who simply want an exposure to nature at its best in seven days, I strongly recommend this Safari by Safpol Safaris. Wonderful was the professionalism of the owner----Within two days of our first communication with him (we did not have time on our side), he had every thing communicated clearly in writing. And he followed the commitment to the letter of the law! Indeed, it was a wonderful peek into nature's dynamics in seven days.

It was amazing experience as everything was organized on a high level
I returned very happy and satisfied after a tour in November 2018. Ms Danuta lead the tour through majestic Cape Town and most beautiful surroundings with great enthusiasm. We truly enjoyed wonderful places such as Cape Of Good Hope, Stellenbosch winelands. Ms. Mariola shared her great knowledge and showed us the rest of the other remaining attractions.
We were really impressed by Kruger Park Reserve. The hotels in which we stayed were superb with wifi available. The meals were excellent. One thing to make note of is the drive through Swaziland, we spent most of the day on the bus. Maybe it would be worth rearrange this day somehow to utylize the time better
Generally I give rating 5 for this tour. My foto story with regards to the whole trip may be found on www.trip4cheap.pl entitled Panorama Africa or Touring RSA.

Great tour to amazing and beautiful places in South Africa
I am very happy that I was able to take part in this trip to South Africa in November 2018. I was delighted with Cape Town, Stellenbosch wine land and Kruger Park. The trip plan and service during the trip was very good. Mrs. Mariola, very interestingly told about history and life in South Africa. Hotels and food during the trip were on a very good standard. That's why I rate a trip to 5.

Excellent trip!
I cannot rate this company enough!!! Our trip included South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. The vehicles were comfy and the guides very knowledgeable. We didn't have one bad experience and we would 100% use them again. Highly recommended for people like us with no idea of where to start – the office helped us to build perfect itinerary, had brilliant suggestions and gave lots of priceless advises. Don’t hesitate to book with Safpol, you won't be disappointed!

We had a personalized experience of a lifetime in beautiful southern Africa.
My son (18) and I just completed making a lifetime of memories thanks to Safpol. With a few tweaks, we were treated to a reasonably priced private tour of southern Africa. We had 3 distinct guides for the 3 regions we visited. They were awesome! They drove us everywhere, knew our schedules and preferences, knew the optimal times to arrive, kept us on schedule, and talked extensively about the local history and culture. We were always treated like VIPs. They were our advocates at every location even looking out for my son’s dairy allergy.
We were blessed to be able to have dinner with Barbara and Pieter (the owners). We ate at a "carnivore" restaurant feasting on crocodile, Kudu, pork, chicken and more. The food was good and the conversation even better.
While South Africa is cheap compared to the US dollar, Zimbabwe is expensive. Be careful up upselling once you arrive in Zimbabwe. It will seem all the more expensive compared to South Africa which (at this time) is cheap compared to the U.S.

Unforgettable experiences and the Best guides!
We chose Safpol Safaris based on the company's reviews and the swift communication with Basia. We were definitely not sorry! We have done a fair bit of travelling around the world, but we can honestly say that our private 10-day South Africa-Zimbabwe - Botswana was the best holiday we've had so far! We visited: Cape Town, Durban, Kruger Park, Swaziland,Johannesburg, Pretoria, fantastic Victoria Falls and the most incredible Chobe in FOUR ! most beautiful Southern African countries. Our stay in Kruger Park and Chobe were our absolute favourites. We could see different animals (elephants, lions, giraffes, hyenas, zebras, wild dogs, etc.) come to the water holes, in the bush and from the boat on Chobe river.
Marek and Peter, our guides, contributed greatly to the amazing experience with their knowledge, sense of humour, superb organization of the tour and overall support. We can highly recommend this company.

Magical African adventure
I can't rate Safpol Safaris highly enough. As first time visitors to South Africa I must say they expertly crafted the perfect Safari trip. From the lodge recommendation to the travel arrangements - everything was made so easy and they made our budget work hard for us. We stayed at great places all over South Africa and it was excellent. Multiple Big Five sightings, great food, excellent accommodation.
The real thing that make them stand out is the customer service. From Dana on the social team offering tips for where to eat in Cape Town to Barbara our holiday ‘organizer' who made booking the holiday a breeze and even personally stopped by our hotel in Cape Town. Next time I book an African trip there is no doubt who I'll go with Safpol Safaris - they are really amazing.

Tanzania- Great Safari and Zanzibar Experience
This was our first trip organised by Safpol, and we have to admit that everything was just fine! We started out trip with 7 days Safari (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro N.P) We were met by our guides at the airport in Arusha and from then on we had great companion. After safari we were driven back to the airport and flew for 5 days rest in Zanzibar. We had great time there as well. We strongly reccomend Safpol Safaris!
