remarkable experience, well-organized
We did the 5-day, 4-night tour, 2 nights at Pretoriuskop camp in Kruger Park and 2 nights at Kapama Private Reserve. The overall experience was fantastic. The Kruger Park component was more basic and less intimate but only in comparison to Kapama after the fact. Arrangements in both places were well done, with no glitches. The tour operators at Kruger (Outlook Safaris) were friendly, knowledgeable and instructive on the game drives, and went out of their way to accommodate our various dietary needs for meals. Kapama is much more up-scale, a beautiful lodge (Kapama River Lodge) in a beautiful setting, and the staff were amazing. The experience was more intimate than at Kruger because the jeeps are open, and it was just our family with the driver and tracker. We saw 3 of the big 5 at Kruger, and all 5 in the first two drives at Kapama. Transportation to/from and between places was flawless, and the drivers were friendly and informative. Overall, well-worth the cost for a unique lifetime experience.

Amazing 7 star service!!!
It was so easy and I felt safe in the knowledge I was looked after. I am a woman travelling alone and Giada made me feel very secure. The best possible choice was made for me.

Excellent Service - Nelia is a STAR
My hubby and I wanted a long weekend break in the bush of KZN and were looking for an all exclusive package (accommodation, dinner, breakfast and meals - to come in at around R2000 pps). I sent my request to Safari.com and Nelia was incredibly efficient and found us the most divine deal to suit our budget. Her service was exceptional - she contacted me both telephonically and via email to ensure that all my questions were answered and the booking was made. It was seamless and such a pleasure to deal with Nelia and Safari.com

Fantastic exprience in Botswana
Communication was excellent. People of Botswana are beautiful. The two camps were excellent. Food was great and so much. Our walking guides were great. Saw every animal possible with the exception of Cheetah. Flights were all on time. Travel between camps was well organized
Superb!
A huge thank you to Gloria who helped make our honeymoon amazing. Gloria was very easy to get a hold of, and readily answered any questions we had. My husband was in the USA at the time and I was in South Africa and Gloria was very patient with the time zone snags. She got to know us on a personal level which helped her plan the perfect honeymoon for us. The itinerary was informative and very nicely laid out we never felt lost as we met different representatives along the way, every detail was thought of. One of the many aspects of our trip that we loved was that it was very flexible, we had a few set times for different activities but we also had time to do our own thing. Our safari experience was superb! The lodgings were fantastic and the sightings were amazing! We’d definitely go through Safari.com again.

Great service
I worked with Safari for around two years planning and making changes due to the pandemic. They honored every deposit given and re scheduled every reservation as needed. Catherine Jacobs was very professional and efficient. Would definitely use them again.

A straightforward booking experience with very good follow-up
We took a bit of a gamble on our dream safari to Madikwe and didn't book it until three weeks before we travelled - which meant that we could make a "short notice" booking and therefore save a lot of money on a safari which would otherwise have been out of our price range. Luckily for us, there was still availability at the wonderful Tuningi Lodge, and we had a truly memorable holiday there. We found Keith Chideme at Safari.com very easy to communicate with and quick to respond throughout the whole experience, and I would definitely recommend his services to anyone considering a similar trip.

Excellent service
I worked with Nelia, she quickly responded to my request and provided an itinerary that worked perfectly for us. I had requested some changes from the advertised itinerary on Safari Bookings and she seamlessly put it all together. The payment process was easy and I appreciated the option of paying by credit card instead of having to wire funds.
I waited to write my review until after we completed our safari and the execution was flawless; Safari.com booked our domestic flights, arranged ground transportation and booked us at the lodges of our choice in Balule and Timbavati. Loved both lodges and the reserves; they were different than, but compared favorably, to our previous experiences at Sabi Sands.
This was my fifth safari where I started the booking process on Safari Bookings and all have been outstanding experiences (all with different local operators). I highly recommend both Safari.com and Safari Bookings.
