Reviews
The Safari Source was a very professional, serviceminded and knowlegdeable operator.
Zimbabwe and Hwange was a great experience with very friendly people and not too many tourists. The Safari Source tailored a wonderful safari for us based on our needs and preferences. We had a very good dialogue and follow-up before, under and after the safari. The lodges and camps were very comfortable and the staff was very nice and professional. The guides were absolutely world class. We came very close to the animals and saw many different mammals and birds. We warmly recommend Zimbabwe and The Safari Source.

Easy, one stop shop!
This is the second time I have had the pleasure of working with Monika Korn at The Safari Source. Monika listen to what I wanted and developed an itinerary that met my needs. She provided options and advice and my final product matched all requirements. The whole process was easy and hassle free and I would be more than happy to work with Monika Korn and the Safari Source in the future.

The best
From the beginning of our trip planing we got the best support ever. SafariSorce is flexible and gave us again (it was our third booking) some insider infos.
What ever we plan to go back, we will use SafaiSource for booking.

A few days at The Hide, Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.
Around September of last year (2014) a couple university friends of mine expressed interest in visiting my home country, Zimbabwe. After some thought, I decided that a few days in Hwange would be very fitting, being the wonderful safari destination it is. I really had no idea of how to go about finding out which camp would best suit us and one that would be financially feasible for three travelling students. Through contact with one of the camps, I was put in touch with Monika Korn from the Safari Source. I am so very thankful for that connection. Monika turned out to be a real blessing, and helped hugely in finding the right place, getting the best deal and making sure all our travel requirements were met. Our trip to the Hide was brilliant. We saw all the big game and lots of it. The service at the Hide was fantastic and the food was unreal!!! Overall, an amazing memory. A big thank you to you Monika.

Excellent company
This is an excellent company to use to organise your travel in Zimbabwe. Monika is really easy to deal with - she responds straight away to your emails, she is a fount of wisdom and knowledge, and she is honest as well. She was happy to offer us suggestions, such as ways for us to save money or places that were more convenient to us.
The thing that first-timers may not realise about Zimbabwe is that if you book hotels through a tour operator like The Safari Source, you get an honest price and by using the one company it means that you don't have to email all of the different places you plan to stay at and have lots of different bookings. It's much easier to plan your holiday this way - just contact one person and have them do all of the running around for you, knowing that you are paying the right price. Plus Monika can get you better deals on your transport hire (ie. car and driver) than you could yourself, and you know that they will be reliable. Local tour operators like TSS won't use unreliable people, but unless you live in the country you may not know who is reliable and who isn't.
I would definitely recommend The Safari Source to anyone that wants to visit Zimbabwe, and I will certainly be using them again. And I would definitely recommend Zimbabwe as a wonderful country to visit.
Roundtrip in Zimbabwe, perfectly organized by The Safari Source
Monika Korn of The Safari Source had been recommended to me by a friend. Hence I asked her to organize and book for my family of four a roundtrip of two weeks through Zimbabwe. Great Zimbabwe, Matobos, Hwange, Vic Falls and Mana Pools. Coming from Switzerland, we had to count on Monika's programme and bookings. Everything was perfect! Monika offers very personalized pre-trip counsel and she is always available for last minute changes. The partners of The Safari Source (hotels, lodges, camps) were excellent as well. This was an expensive trip, but it was well worth the investement, we got an unforgetable experience! Thank you Monika!
We can highly recommend The Safari Source.

Marvelous trip to South Africa.
All thanks to Monika at the Safari Source putting together an 18-day round trip in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Most of the time we traveled four people together, with a program very well balanced between building knowledge about towns and game areas, and relaxing leisure in well-chosen accommodation. It was especially nice to see how smooth everything worked with pre booked transport and guiding. We will not hesitate to recommend the Safari Source for helping you to plan and assist in getting memories for life from the African continent

Personal experience with fulfilling wishes beyond expectation
We spent 2 months travelling through Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia. Although it was during the most busy season - Christmas and New Year, TSS organized us a lot of lodges we could enjoy all by ourselves. If it was a tent in a national park or a stone cottage with the most amazing view, we always felt like we were someone special. The organisation was terrific, from the time we stepped into the plane in Oslo, there was not a single minute someone didn't take care of us. Even when we had half a day waiting in Harare Airport for the return flight, they arranged us a personal driver who took us into the city for some lunch and last minute shopping. We really appreciated that since we wouldn't leave our expensive video- and camera gear out of sight.
We did a lot of travelling before this Africa trip, but we never felt so safe and taken care of.
We got pleasantly surprised so many times, also since we do a lot of photography, we could take close-ups of the most amazing bird-life, a cheetah walking next to our car for more than an hour, and a baby rhino in a national park. We will most definitely book an Africa trip with TSS again. I personally don't think someone can organize it any better. Thanks again to the girls of TSS.

My Father's Birthday
Monika and her team provided an excellent service. They were very flexible. They were available throughout my parents' trip making all the adjustments around additional meals, picking up and dropping off points and times. The arranged activities run smoothly, the dinner at the Boma was perfect. Whilst we (my siblings and I) could not be in Zimbabwe to celebrate my Father's birthday, Monika and her team insured that he had a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend Safari Source especially for all those in the diaspora who would want to plan something special for a loved one.
