Friendly and informative with exceptional service
If you are considering a trip to Africa, I highly recommend Southern Dynasty Safaris for your travel needs. Collins is friendly, informative, welcoming, and provides superb service with attention to detail, ease of transfer, and a dedication to providing amazing experiences. Our team particularly loved the land and boat safaris and camping in the bush! Southern Dynasty Safaris was able to customize different excursions for team members. I’d also highly recommend the four-wheeler ATV course. So much fun! Traveling with Southern Dynasty Safaris really did provide peace of mind as we were so well cared for.

Kalonga Collins is a knowledgeable tour operator who feels more like a friend!
I traveled to Namibia and Zambia with a team of 13 people from the US. We coordinated our transportation and safari excursions with Southern Dynasty, and the experience from start to finish exceeded our expectations.
Throughout the planning process, Collins was extremely responsive and quick to answer our questions and reply to emails. We had a lot of questions as we navigated international travel in light of COVID-19, and he was very helpful in planning our trip. He was flexible with us as plans changed throughout the year prior to our trip and helped us at every turn.
Collins knew we were working off a limited budget, and he did a wonderful job of recommending options within our budget while encouraging us to use our budget to maximize our experience. Each person he organized to help us, on both sides of the border, were hospitable, professional, and extremely helpful. They collaborated with each other like a well-oiled machine. It made our travel experience much less stressful knowing we would be guided at every step.
This is our second time using Southern Dynasty, and I sincerely hope we are able to return and use their services again. Collins feels like a friend who we trust and respect. I cannot recommend his services highly enough. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Collins, for making this trip fun and enjoyable for all of us! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Quick responses, flexible service, daily checkup
We were extremely happy customers after our trip. Our hopes and schedules were wonderfully met during planning. We were in contact with Collins flexibly through emails and Whatsapp. Our planning of the trip was last-minute, to say the least, but thanks to quick responses and great service, we left for the holiday at peace and confident.
Our guides at African Excursion Guest House were fantastic answering all our questions and introducing us to the breathtaking nature. Special thanks for teaching us some Setswana!

Best tour operator in Zambia
Southern Dynasty and Collins are a delight to work with. They made my trip planning to Zambia so seamless and easy. They helped choose activities, sorted out my itinerary and managed the visa application process. Hire them coz they really are the best in the business. Knowledgeable, friendly, hospitable: they are all that and more. Can't recommend them enough.

Great service and value for money
Morning started with a smooth pick up by Collins at our Protea Livingstone Hotel, driven to the Kasane border post where he helped us with the border at Botswana and back to Zambia in the afternoon. We did the morning boat trip in the Chobe National Park. We saw a lot of animals, e.g. elephants and hippos. It was great seeing the animals by boat. We had lunch and then in the afternoon did a land game drive. The experience was brilliant, we saw a lots of animals, you will not be sorry taking this day trip from Livingston. Everything ran smoothly

A Smooth, Friendly, Professional Operation
Out morning started with a timely pick up by Collins at our Livingstone Hotel. We were driven to the Kasane border post where we were handed over to our Botswana driver who escorted us through migration and onwards to the Chobe Marina Lodge. We started with the boat cruise that allows you get up really close to the animals on the shore (saw hippos, elephants, impala, crocodile). Following lunch at the lodge, we took a safari viewing vehicle into the Chobe National Park for more game viewing. At the end of the day, we are driven back to the Botswana border where Collins met us and drove us back to Livingstone.
Chobe game reserve is well worth visiting. The boat safari was a first for me, and I loved it.
Collins made this experience effortless. It is highly recommended.

excellent and professional assistance
we are very happy about Southern Dynasty Safaris, we have been trying to book a Safari experience with no knowledge and they helped us in every step of the way.
I am so happy about their services that I do reccomend it. they are professional, competent, on time, they always answer in real time, they listen to your needs and try to help in making the best reservation. Excellent customer care in every detail. They take good care of you from the start till the end. They even make sure you get home safe.
I would book with them over and over again. I've been travelling a lot but Iìve never met anyone like them.
Collins is absolutely the man you need if you want an extraordinary vacation.
I am thankful because we had our difficulties (still Covid is not helping travelling) and he helped us every step of the way even in matters they were not his to deal with.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Flexible, able to adapt the itinerary on your request, changing every time
The tour operator was able to satisfy our requests, building the itinerary on our requests…and changing everything every time we wanted add something to do. It was present, helping us with Covid rules ( that changed every time) , it was present asking us if everything was good or not… we couldn’t ask more!!
