Fantastic, very well looked after!
5/5

We were very pleased with this company and Giada in particular who has been amazing! She was so patient with us while going through all the various options in order to plan our trip. Her insights were invaluable in making the right choices of were to stay and things to do. Even when we had to make last minute changes to the itinerary due to flight delays or changing our tours due to weather conditions, Giada was available even after hours or weekends to help with everything we needed! She was truly fantastic and we had an amazing time throughout the whole trip. Everything went smoothly and she was there to help with changes when needed. Strongly recommended!!

Giada Claasan was reliable & efficient, as well as kind & understanding leading to a wonderful exper
5/5

I am sure my holiday would not have been such a wonderful experience if it not for the guidance and efficiency of Safari.com. Giada always made herself available through email and phone, immediately responding to any of my queries and making everything seem so easy with a gentle and kind disposition. I travelled through 4 countries in Africa and all my bookings and transfers and travels all ran very efficiently, I was left with absolutely no nothing to worry about and enjoyed a wonderful holiday, thank you. I would recommend Safari.com and also Africa Travel Co who I travelled with, also the hotels that were recommended were excellent.

Very professional and efficient
5/5

Mandy was very efficient and got us booked on relatively short notice. The stay at Mpili camp in the Imfolozi reserve was great although the variety and number of game was a bit disappointing. Overall it was a very nice break.

A spectacular weekend and spectacular service
5/5

I only had two nights free for a side-trip to Kruger national park, and not much time to organise it. Giada at Safari.com took the challenge in hand, gathering my requirements and providing options to choose from almost the same day (only time zones caused the delay!). She organised flights to fit with my pre-booked business trip, car transfers to and from the airport and a stay at Lukimbi lodge - I didn't have to organise a thing. Any questions were answered straight away, and when one of my flights experienced a delay, a quick call to Giada meant that the transfer was rescheduled and the accommodation notified on my behalf.
Staying at Lukimbi was a great choice - the 5 star lodge is in a private concession within Kruger National Park. The rooms are amazing, with views straight out over a waterhole and wildlife everywhere. The lodge organises two game drives at dawn and dusk each day, plus a guided walk (all activities optional), with all meals included (delicious and plentiful). Guests are allocated into small groups with a dedicated ranger and tracker, so you get to know each other over the course of your stay, and have different experiences each day. The private concession means this area of the park is not open to the general public and there are far fewer vehicles around. My visit was right at the end of the dry season - the landscape was dry and stark but stunningly beautiful, and full of all the wildlife you'd want to see. I only wish I'd had longer to enjoy it. All the staff at Lukimbi were amazing. As a solo female traveler I felt comfortable and well looked after throughout my trip.

Wonderfully planned and executed with limited lead time!
5/5

Fantastic all around. Great quality of resorts picked and transfers. Support provided at every stage
A little handbook of travel tips and things to keep in mind would have been a bonus. The Hide was a wonderful experience, the staff there and the rooms was a remarkable experience. We didn't want to come back!

Unforgetable experience
5/5

From start to finish everything was flawless. Giada at Safari.com was so helpful, always providing a prompt response to my emails, and happy to provide customised options for us. Tydon safari camp is a lovely small camp, good accommodation & food, and a friendly helpful team of staff. The guides were great, Benji in particular, who tracked down some amazing wildlife including our dream leopard! We did a 5 day stay which I think was about the right length of time. Would definitely recommend and would return

Prompt, friendly and professional communication from and with Mandy Pienaar.
4/5

Amazing being in Imfolozi Hluhluwe game reserves. Lots of animal sightings. Mpila camp staff were friendly, accommodation was clean and neat and adequate but mosquito meshes all badly damaged, cracks in the walls of our chalet, doors don't close properly due to having expanded. No keys for chalets, only latches on doors. Great braai and verandah. Great views. Very sad that there were no game drives offered by the camp. The staff at reception gave me differing stories - there were no vehicles and or there was nobody to drive the vehicles...

Hluhluwe Hilltop Resort
5/5

Our family holiday to Hluhluwe Hilltop Resort was superb. From the experience and ease of booking through Safari.com to the excellent and friendly service by the staff and establishment at Hluhluwe Hilltop Resort. The resort itself was very clean, the staff were amazing and the food was beyond expectation. A truly memorable and enjoyable family vacation that we will be recommended to others.
