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.

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.

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.

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!

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 !

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.

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.

Camping Safari (with a Twist)
Walter is by far the best travel agent we have had! He is always very good in getting back to us with the information we need in a timely fashion. The communicate level way exceeds our expectation.
The trip was relaxing and we get to see a lot of animals. It is a unique experience than other safaris that we had been on as this move from location to location and you get to see and experience different aspects of the animal, landscape, flora and fauna as we travel. The accommodation is good and we are amazed of the type of food the chef can make in a camp environment. We were totally unplugged from the outside world as there are no internet connection, no electricity etc. Cautions should be taken of your temperature tolerance so you can pick the season that will be best for you as you will have no AC or heating. We went during winter so the morning and the evening were chilly. However, the beddings were very comfortable and we were warm enough except for the brief moments between getting out of bed and putting clothes on. The guide was very knowledgeable and the camp staff were courteous and attentive. Overall a great experience!
