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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

Safari Source: a friendly, knowledgeable and reliable source
I first contacted Monika Korn in 2010 when she worked for another company.
it was my first trip to Zimbabwe and Africa. Not knowing anything about
safaris I left it up to her to do all the bookings. She put me up with Stretch
Ferreira at Goliath and African Bush Camps at Kanga and I haven't looked
back since. I had such a wonderful time, made real friends (we still get
together on safari) that I have hust wound up my 10th safati in 4 years. Whether
it's putting together a wildlife safari or a cultural tour in Southern Africa
Monika knows the most knowledgeable and interesting people to book you
with. At Matopos and Bulawayo we got Ian Harmer and Rob Burrett, both native
grown raconteurs steeped in th wildlife and history of the area.
Monika made sure we departed and arrived safely any time she was involved
in the booking of our transfers. When our bus from Bulawayo to Harare was delayed she waited till we got on to ensure we left safely. And since the bus was to arrive in Harare
late at night she called ahead to make sure we were greeted on arrival and that a hot meal
was ready as she figured we'd be hungry after a 6 hour bus trip and restaurants would be
closed. For southern Africa The Safari Source is a company you can trust to get things done right.

Safari Source is a most reliable company for Southern Africa safaris and visits
We had engaged Safari Source to arrange our safari in Zimbabwe two years ago and were very happy with Monika's service. The trip was wonderful and went without a hitch. On our return to Zimbabwe this month we again used Safari Source to arrange our visit to Bulawayo and Harare. Everything went smoothly and was to our satisfaction.
While planning the visit, Monika of Safari Source gave us some options for hotel and domestic transportation and tours and promptly responded to our requests such as a special tour to Matopos National Park and Khami ruins. A plus was her arranging a history of Bulawayo tour. We even got to meet some of the local folk.
We will not hesitate to engage her services again should we find another excuse to visit Zimbabwe in the near future.

Incredible
I run charity programming in Zimbabwe, and hosted a tour locally with 12 individuals from around the world. Included in the tour was a Safari Source tour for 6 of the participants following their time in Harare with me and the charity. Every step of the way working with Monika and Rosemary from the Safari Source was a breeze! From developing the itinerary from Harare to Vic Falls and everything inbetween, to clear communication, payment, timely emails, and ensuring everyone was supported, everything was more than I could have hoped for and very professional. In fact, even after development of the safari I used them to help with aspects of my trip including a local bus hire. I would not hesitate to recommend The Safari Source, and I can't wait to use their services again.

Great Customer Service
The customer service was excellent and very accommodating to our specific needs. My mother and I booked a trip to Vic Falls with about six activities through different operators over a three day period. The execution was seamless, the operators showed up on time (except for one, but it wasn't an issue) and also delivered excellent customers service. We also did a 2.5 day safari trip to Hwange park, which was lovely. During the whole trip, Safari Source was calling the hotels and operators to make sure all was going well and sending us messages directly to make sure all was well. My mother and I loved Zimbabwe and hope to return again someday! It was a trip of a lifetime!

The Safari Source has the right network to make a tailormade program for all your wishes
Operating a Travel agency from Zimbabwe in the present time is certainly not easy but TSC nevertheless manages to give a perfect and personal service. We were very pleased with their help and advise to make our travels memorable.
