Quick and committed
I was planning for our second safari (after Serengeti in June) and managed to get contact with Karina of Safari Online. Nonetheless, i cannot deny that I am a bit underwhelm with the choices and etc (there are so many). Karina helped us with ease. She understood my budget, what we want to second and went to extra length in explaining my queries (all regarding the trip to animal sightings). We nearly confirmed our South Africa arrangement with Safari Online if not for an eleventh hour inclusion into a safari photography (which are few in between and fully booked as well as my wife's interest in photography). I apologise to Karina for her hard work and dedication and she understood well and wishing us well. A shame that we can't utilise the tree house that she already booked us for that particular tour but if you are thinking to have a full detailed of arrangement, Karina of safari Online is one of the very best consultants out there.

Outstanding experience!
We have booked at the Elephant Plains Lodge. We stayed there for a few nights and went on safaris. The lodge, the guide, the food and all the animals we have seen were fantastic. Really an outstanding experience. We can recommend Elephant Plains to everybody. Maybe you will not be as lucky as we were, becaucse we have seen the Big 5! But however you will not forget your stay at Elephant Plains.

A great tour operator that was a pleasure to deal with.
We used Safari Online to put together a mid-range Botswana trip for a group of four going to three different camps and then onto Vic Falls. We asked several operators to provide options (through this great safari bookings website) and Walter Kohrs from Safari Online was easily the most responsive and quickest to provide different but realistic options and at good prices. In the end it was a no brainer to go with Safari Online. Walter always responded to my queries quickly, with honest and valuable responses that were clear and made sense. From our perspective he tailored a good mix of places for both our budget and standard of facilities that suited us perfectly, with enough information and links to help us make our decisions. In the end each camp was different and had different aspects and strengths that made each unique. We loved it.

Katrina provieded us with the Safari experience of a lifetime! Answered our many questions.
The Safari at Lukimbi was spectacular from start to finish. We had JEFFREY who provided us transport from airport to Lukimbi, the lodge was great and our rooms - so very nice, great food and our Safari guides - Malcolm and Golden were exceptionally good - we saw the big 5 more than once, and they provided rain/window ponchos , blankets, coffee & water. We were within 15 feet of elephants, lions, giraffes - etc.
I will always remember this wonderful Holiday !

Karina was absolutely instrumental to our safari success.
Our experience with Safari Online was excellent. After becoming very frustrated trying to search for a safari destination on our own, we turned to Karina for help and she was a lifesaver. She responded to our requests promptly and gave us several options with links to each option; we ultimately chose Lukimbi. She then coordinated our flights to and from the property, arranged the drivers necessary to get us from the airport to the lodge and back again, and sent the appropriate paperwork to each of us to verify each step of the process. We had an amazing safari adventure at the lodge--the experience of a lifetime--and are so grateful for her help. We literally couldn't have done it without her!

Delivering outstanding performance
When we first interacted with Walter Kohrs of Safari Online, he professionally inquired about what we were after in our safari experience. When we responded with issues, he responded with recommendations. He made our arrangements and followed through when initially they could not be completed, and he explained the steps of how safari camp bookings were done. Every interaction with him was professional and he responded quickly to each issue and email. In the end, every detail was covered, we were prepared for all the steps and everything worked like clockwork. We could not have been happier, and I can give Walter Kohrs and Safari Online the highest ratings.

The trip was sensational and tailored to our needs. Simply fantastic!
The care by Walter was great from planning to leaving Johannesburg. The accommodations were perfectly chosen. If after a few days you thought it could not be better, you were told otherwise. It was an increase every day, with the 3 days safari in the Kruger, including overnight in tree house, the grand finale.
I would book a trip anytime again at Safari Online.

Extremely satisfied with the knowledgeable, polite, responsive tour operator agent Walter Kohrs
Working with the SA based tour operator SAFARI ONLINE was a tremendous plus compared to a USA base operator, only enhanced by the very knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly tour operator agent Walter Kohrs.
We were so pleasantly pleased that all bookings made by Safari Online worked out to the "T" - no delays, prompt, and reliable. We were concerned that transfers between 3 safari lodges and to the airports would be a bit cumbersome, but no worries, at every location transfer a friendly, knowledgeable driver with a modern SUV came to pick us up, even being early by 30 mins. each time.
We very much enjoyed our 3 days at Victory Falls, Zimbabwe and our stay with tours at Victoria Safari Falls Safari lodge, likewise our 3 full days each at Umkumbe Safari Lodge and Arathusa Safari Lodge in the Sabi Sands, SA area. Each of our lodge stays and excursions recommended by Walter Kohrs worked out real well, each lodge and terrain was different, allowing us to see all Big Five many times and visiting different terrain. All 3 lodges pride themselves in supplying great customer service and satisfaction - their tips depend greatly on the customers' satisfaction.
In summary, we are more than satisfied and our thousands of phots remind us of an unforgettable trip organized by a very competent tour operator SAFARI ONLINE and agent WALTER KOHRS. We have happily recommended Safari Online and Walter Kohrs to lots of friends.
