Reviews
Safari Online was very professional and they were very quick in responding to all our concerns.
Our tour of Victoria Falls and Botswana was perfect. The lodges were wonderful and we were able to see so many wonderful sights and animals. Our three charter flights and crossing of the border between Zimbabwe and Botswana, all arranged by Safari Online, went smoothly. Walter Kohrs of Safari online provided excellent information on what to pack, which currency to use and information on what to expect about border crossings and at the lodges. He was quick to respond to our initial inquiry and always answered our questions and concerns promptly.

The best interaction with a travel agent I have ever had. If I could give 6 stars, I would!
Walter is exceptional. His communications and his can-do attitude was brilliant and he responds quickly and positively to every email. It was a pleasure dealing with him.
Our holiday was not the easiest to organise as we had family coming from both Australia and the UK to celebrate a special birthday but Walter organised everything to the last detail, including organising accommodations and internal flights all to work seamlessly with the international arrivals. Really, from arriving at J'burg airport we didn't have to think about a thing. We were met, greeted and treated like VIPs everywhere we went.
We all loved every moment of our stay at Jamala, everything was super, the food was top quality and the staff were top notch. The safaris were fabulous and overlooking the waterhole meant there was always something amazing to see.
Walter, thank you so much for all the effort and work you put in to making this important family holiday run so smoothly. We cannot recommend you highly enough.

Just terrific!
I worked mainly with Karina Atkinson, who was a delight. She was knowledgeable, responsive, kind, and patient throughout. Our safari tour was something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. It exceeded expectations.

Responsive and Knowledgeable
Many people describe an Africa safari tour as a “trip of a lifetime.” Our Safari Online representative helped us design a customized tour that exceeded our expectations and stayed within our budget. Our in-country experience offered the same benefits as a large group tour (transport, drivers, support) with none of the usual hassle of a large group experience. We traveled as a customized tour group of two women and felt safe at every stage. Safari Online built a safari experience that began at a high level and each succeeding Lodge/safari experience exceeded the last one.

Walter from Safari Online was absolutely brilliant in helping arrange our dream Botswana trip.
At the start of our Botswana trip planning I was totally confused and overwhelmed with the choices of places to visit and accommodations on offer. Over a few weeks, Walter guided us through the decision making process with incredible efficiency, patience and adeptness. His responses from afar ( we live in Australia) were always prompt, polite and very helpful. We eventually were able to organise an itinerary which fulfilled our every need and wildest dreams. We couldn't have asked for a better Botswana experience.
We visited Chobe, Savute and the Okavango Delta and we so pleased with Walter's suggestion to visit these three diverse and amazing places in Botswana. They were all different but thrilling in their own way. The amount of wildlife we saw in each place was just mind blowing.
The organisation of the trip by Walter was seamless.

Fantastic planning experience and trip of a lifetime
My experience with Walter Kohrs of Safari Online was literally perfect. From the very first contact to the follow-up after our vacation, Walter was as professional and friendly as a person can be. He provided prompt and informative answers in the planning phase of our vacation and was very patient with my many questions regarding places to visit, places to stay, pricing, activities, etc... Once we had decided where we were going and what we would be doing, he continued to respond to any and all questions I had about our upcoming vacation. With respect to the vacation itself, it truly was a trip of a lifetime and exceeded our expectations. We visited Tanzania for safaris and Uganda for gorilla trekking. Our guides and the companies we were set up with were wonderful. We saw all the animals we had hoped for and more. The day-to-day game drive experiences were fantastic. We also had the opportunity to do some game walks and a balloon ride. We were able to visit local communities and schools and thus had some exposure to the local cultures. We stayed in wonderful places (e.g., camps, lodges), met lovely people, and ate very good food. We could not hope for better experiences and this was due to the fact that Walter Kohrs truly listened to what we wanted and made it happen. I would not hesitate to recommend Safari Online and Walter Kohrs.

BEST experience ever! Couldn't be a happier first time visitor.
We had a FANTASTIC trip with no hiccups whatsoever as we visited 3 countries and stayed at 6 different places in 2 weeks. Kudos to our agent Walter Kohrs for ensuring we had the best experience ever! We left our hearts and minds in Botswana and Cape Town.
Walter helped me plan this trip so thoughtfully. He was detailed and articulate in giving me lots of tips(on which places to visit, immigration documentation etc), making sure I felt comfortable by always promptly responding to my emails, addressing each and every little detail and answering my bazillion questions. I was a first time nervous visitor, especially since I was traveling alone with kids but all his information helped me out a lot.
We really enjoyed our safari experiences at the lodges in Botswana. Wildlife viewing was the highlight of our trip but coming back to a cozy comfortable place to stay and eating delicious foods can't be discounted. Luxurious lodging went a long ways in giving my kids a fantastic experience they are going to treasure for life.
All our flights were on time, each and every place we had folks come receive us and drop us off on time. In Botswana- our stays at all the lodges were fabulous. Transfers between lodges were very well coordinated and executed on time. Staff at each and every lodge in Botswana and even in Victoria falls were friendly and their hospitality was remarkably professional and punctual. We loved all our guides and the kids had a blast all through out the trip.
Our safari experiences were amazing - we couldn't get enough of the wildlife and sceneries in spite of doing almost 11 safaris. We saw everything except wild dogs and leopard. In Cape Town, staff at Primi sea castle and Hylton Ross travels were awesome. I am now considering visiting some other countries in Africa that offer superior wildlife viewing and cultural experiences.

extremely attentive and knowledgable
This is now my second time making a booking with Walter and yet again he nails it!! and I am by no means an easy customer!! I very much enjoy making my own bookings and so rarely do I use a tour operator - but Walter has now changed my mind! He is extremely knowledgeable, attentive and patient. he answers every question and really goes out of his way to get to know you and make sure that whatever he recommends/suggests is right for you. I really enjoy dealing with him and his suggestions so far have been spot on!!

Excellent character/person, excellent focus and guidance, caring for safety with respect to wildlife
For our family it was an unforgetable trip and a wonderful combination of watching wildlife, learning a lot about tanzania and being hosted by very nice persons in a really nice hotel (African Tulip in Arusha), a Lodge (Bougainvilla) and a quiet and awsome wildlife camp (Ndutu area). Our guide John was a wonderful companion and a really friendly and well-experienced teacher, driver and was always able to handle everything.
