Friendly and Efficient
I found that the services provided by the staff (particularly Nadine) to be very efficient and friendly. Usually I had email responses overnight or at worst within 24 hours. All of our requests were considered and great patience was shown as we made numerous changes and requests to our schedules. We were stunned to be met at Maun airport by one of staff and be presented with a small gift! Everything went perfectly to plan with one very minor slip that was out of Safari Specialists control anyway. Hey all part of the adventure.
The safari (Zimbabwe and Botswana) were nothing short of spectacular and amazing. Beyond our expectations of what we would see and of how close we would be to animals. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and helpful and friendly. Vehicles clean comfortable and well maintained. Food great and plentiful.
I have no hesitation in recommending Safari Specialists and will use them again for our next African adventure, whenever that may be.

Excellent experience from start to finish!
I was a bit apprehensive about planning a trip with any company- it's always hard to know who is on the other end, where your money is going, etc. My fears were laid to rest once I started working with Nadine from Safari Specialists. Nadine helped us plan a trip of a lifetime! She worked within our budget and gave us recommendations based on her own travel experiences. Nadine went above and beyond to answer any and all questions we had - her answers were extremely detailed and we felt 100% confident in our decisions because of this. During the planning process and the trip we had the opportunity to interact with other people from Safari Specialists as well. Each person had the same level of professionalism and knowledge that Nadine did. The end result is our trip was perfectly planned with no detail overlooked. The name is appropriate- they are the Safari Specialists!
Botswana Zimbabwe Safari
Very positive experience, very responsive and knowledgeable staff at Safari Specialist, planning the trip was smooth and efficient. The safari itself was as advertised, with a very competent, resourceful and friendly local partner (Bushways).

A magical experience
When researching our trip to Botswana, I found the advice provided by Safari Specialists outstanding. Over a period of several weeks, they patiently answered my many questions in a friendly and professional manner. Nothing seemed too much trouble, their expertise was evident and their response time was impressive.
We enjoyed the most wonderful holiday, experiencing for the first time the variety and excitement that is Botswana. Our camps were ideal for our needs, the guides, trackers and other staff were outstanding and everything worked as it should. The memories of this trip will last forever, but we're not finished with this super country yet. I look forward to seeking advice from Nadine and her colleagues again soon regarding our next visit to Africa's best kept secret.

She provided a lot of useful information about our destinations as well as offering suggestions and ideas on where to stay. While we were traveling, all arrangements went exactly as arranged.
