Best trip I have ever been on. Highly recommend.
Would highly recommend. Lodges, Sunrock Guesthouse, Imbabala Zambezi Safari, Umlani Bushcamp, The Elephant Camp, were fantastic with excellent staff that were extremely helpful, friendly and nothing was a problem. Safari online asked questions when booking and were efficient and knew exactly what we were looking for in terms of accommodation and animals were wanted to see. Actually got to see the Big 5 which was perfect. Gave advice on a few little extras with no pressure, which we did and am very grateful which make trip even more exciting. Would definitely recommend booking with them.

An awesome program with abundant highlights organized by a highly professional expert
We spent 9 days in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti national parks and experienced a superbly organized and well conducted Safari followed by a four day Mt. Meru climb and a four day Zanzibar Beach relaxation.
Walter and his team provided excellent recomendations, planning and Arrangements and werealways at our disposal if we needed them. Thanks a lot, we will come back.

Superbly organised family of five holiday, great advice and assistance with Walter's personal touch
We were referred to Walter Kohrs (Safari Onine) by other Aussie friends who have previously used him. The attention to detail and the speed of replies made booking this holiday in Africa very easy. Previously I have organised most holidays by myself online but this was much better as I did not need to do all the research or have the headaches. Walter's knowledge, personal experience and great advice was immeasurable.
We utilised the most with our time away (22days) going to Cape Town, Botswana, Victoria Falls and Sabi Sands (Total 4 game parks). All transfers and internal flights (7) ran smoothly. Safari online even checked in our airline tickets online at the appropriate time.
I was also extremely impressed by the virtual online itinerary supplied once the holiday was booked.

A trip of a lifetime!
There were many highlights to our safari trip in Zimbabwe and South Africa. The Elephant Camp in Victoria Falls was definitely the biggest highlight of the 10 day trip. The luxuries and the animal interactions were outstanding. The staff at the Camp were able to rearrange the schedule for us as our stay here was too short! The hospitality at Imbabala Lodge was excellent and the safari guide was extremely knowledgeable. Once in Cape Town, having a rental car was a great way to get around and allowed us to plan our own itinerary to see sites not offered on public transportation. The Fransvliet Guest House in Franschhoek was also a great place to stay. Very welcoming and amazing scenery!
The service Walter offered during all our planning and while we were on the trip were outstanding. All our questions were quickly answered and the itinerary that was crafted gave us experiences we were looking for.

Exceeded our expectations
On our most recent trip to Botswana, Walter, our wonderful agent, booked us with Belmond properties in Chobe, Okavango Delta and Khwai River and they exceeded our expectations. The highlight of this trip was definitely getting out of the car and doing a water safari in the Okavango Delta. The sunsets, scenery and wildlife were amazing. As there was so much water in Khwai River, our airstrip was under water, so we had to be helicoptered into the camp, which was an added bonus! Despite there being less wildlife than normal due to the water, we did manage to see a pack of wild dogs, owls, kudu and our guide took us further away where we ended up seeing the elusive leopard. All in all, we have booked a few safaris now with Safari Online and we keep using them as they are always quick to respond and our holidays have been amazing!

Best service and best adventure thanks to Safari Online
Walter from Safari Online organised such a great experience for my friends and I in the Kruger. I think he’s the most helpful person I have ever worked with.
Let’s start with Sunrock Guest House since that was our first stop. The rooms are super comfortable and the oversized two head showers were a treat after a long plane ride. We had a chance to speak to the owners when we arrived and they were so lovely and welcoming. They organized food packs to take with us on our shuttle to the Kruger, since we left before breakfast. Definitely recommend this place.
The shuttle ride to the Umlani Bush Camp took about 7 hours because of road works but we had plenty of stops so the trip was broken up well. The shuttle is comfortable and the company supplied us with enough water for the trip.
Umlani Bush Camp was just perfect. Rustic but very comfortable. The staff were so lovely and accommodating that at times we felt a little overwhelmed with how attentive they were. Each day the safari guides made it their mission to make sure we had a really great adventure. We had all the luck and saw every animal we wanted to see and more. On our last day, just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we had the opportunity to watch two male lions stalking a leopard hiding up a tree with his kill. The leopard eventually made it away safely. On our last night we stayed in the Umlani tree house, about 500m from the camp. I would totally recommend this to anyone visiting Umlani. It was a night sleeping under a sheet of stars listening to the sounds of the beautiful wild. Before we went to bed our torch caught the eyes of a hyena, a buffalo and a herd of impalas - as confirmed the next day by the tracker. We requested a night in the treehouse as soon as we found out about it on arrival, but perhaps to ensure a night there people might be able to do it before they arrive. Definitely recommend the Umlani Bush Camp to anyone visiting Kruger.
Walter, thanks again for your help organizing a memorable adventure, answering all our questions so quickly and and being thorough with sending us all the details we needed for the trip. You helped make the trip as awesome as it was. If anyone I know plans to visit South Africa I’ll be sending them your way.

Superb Safari Experience
Planning our first trip to Africa was easily accomplished working with Walter Kohrs. Through many emails with prompt responses, Walter planned a comprehensive privagte trip for us. It was a well paced trip that included 5 nights in Cape Town, a Chobe River cruise on the Zambezi Queen, several nights at a luxury lodge on the Zambezi River and several nights at a private safari lodge in Sabi Sand. Each transfer went like clockwork, service and food were excellent in all venues and staff all aimed to give us the best experience. Thanks to Walter's expertise and suggestions, we feel that our trip far exceeded our expectations. It was such a wonderful experience, we now put Africa on the top of our list of places we wish to revisit! And Safari Online and Walter Kohrs will be our choice of travel agent next time.
Walter has always been an excellent communicator and has supported us fully
We have been to Africa for 24 of the last 27 years so know a bit about what is involved.
Walter has arranged the details for the last couple of years, and has done a superb job. He is always quick to respond and comes up with answers immediately........no evasive tactics, always head-on!
This year we went back to Luangwa and had a terrific six days there. It was very dry so a slightly different environment than in past years when we have found October to be more conducive to wildlife viewing.
Walter couldn't have done more for us!

Professional, quick and top of the edge service!!!
From the very first contact we're very happy about the respond time and quality of information from safari-online.com. Based on the received first tailor-made quote, which is a weblink with all the details about the flights, photos of the lodges etc. we knew that this is "our" partner for this trip.
Our expectations were exceled!!!
We've been to three different Wilderness lodges in Botswana and Zambia. It was more than WOW.
The lodges itself, the service, the food, the kids (8+10) care and the animal world.
All the connections by plane, boat and car were perfectly organized. There was always a responsible person waiting for us. We felt very special from the first to the last day.
We highly recommend safari-online.com and we'll do our next Wilderness tour definitely with them.

A truly amazing holiday in Kenya
Our family (2 adults and 2 kids) just returned from our truly amazing holiday in Kenya, and enjoyed every minute of it. 11 days Kenya Bush & Beach. The trip was very well organised, thanks to Walter for his prompt and efficient replies, great recommendations and advise and putting a memorable itinerary together for us. The tented camps in Kenya were one of a kind, each game drive was special and we saw so much, the visit to a local Masaai village gave us insight into the local culture which was special, all in all a fantastic holiday for the entire family we will remember for a long time.
Probably the highlight of our trip was Porini Lion Camp due to its location and wildlife that one can experience there. We also thoroughly enjoyed the relaxation time at Pinewood Resort to let all of our wonderful experiences sink in.
What else can we say, thank you again for organising a truly memorable holiday for us Walter! Safari Online keep up the fantastic work! Two thumbs up from all of us. We all loved it.
