Kalonga Collins is a knowledgeable tour operator who feels more like a friend!
5/5

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!

Friendly and informative with exceptional service
5/5

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.

An unforgettable, smooth trip.
5/5

Collins planed most of our stay in Zambia, all tailored to our preferences and wishes. What he promised is what he delivered and he would often go the extra mile to ensure a great experience for us. The lodges and activities he recommended were all amazing, memories for life. Fair prices, professional staff, always on time, no problems or complications.

Would definitely plan our next visit to Zambia with him again!

Excellent customer service tailored to our preferences
5/5

We were extremely pleased with our trip arranged by Southern Dynasty Safaris. They delivered exactly the experiences promised, combined with excellent customer service. Collins was very reliable, replied quickly to any queries and didn't hesitate to go the extra mile to deliver an unforgettable experience.

The trip had multiple highlights, and we loved both the walking safari with white rhinos, day trip safari to Botswana from Livingstone, safari in Kafue park, sunset cruise on the Zambesi river and Victoria falls from land and helicopter.

We can warmly recommend Southern Dynasty Safaris!

Very attentive, patience and quick responding service to plan a perfect trip
5/5

My wife and I travelled to Botswana and Victoria Falls last April with Southern Dynasty Safaris. Collins offered an amazing service. We had to organize everything last minute and even wait to close everything until the last week due to a family illness. Even with all those complications, Collins was very patience, attentive and in touch with us all the time through Whatsapp and phone calls. He modified things based on our feedback and we were able to planned a perfect trip. Once there, he made sure that everything was going as planned and constantly in touch. Very quick in responding to our messages. Highly recommended! It was a success to plan the trip with them!

Excellent travel agency to organize tailor made safaris.
5/5

Mr. Collins excellently organized our planned three week private trip to Malawi and Zambia.
We managed to visit n. 4 national parks with more game drives every day.
The very good guide Mr. Robert Beadel who assisted us throughout the trip always looking for the best solutions for us and solving all the little mishaps.
It was like traveling with a friend.
We hope to be able to take more trips with them.

Efficient, honest tour company for arranging wildlife trips in southern Africa
5/5

Good company which arranged for us a 4 day (3 night) trip in Kafue National Park, Zambia. Pick-up from Lusaka was punctual & comfortable. Lodge was pleasant & quiet, with good meals & various activities as agreed & noted in our itinerary. Mr Collins Kalonga remained in contact with us throughout our time in Kafue NP to make sure that all is well; we were not disappointed. Everything was perfect. Later, we had the pleasure of meeting Collins in Livingstone where he helped us in several ways. I have no hesitation in recommending Southern Dynasty to other travellers who wish to visit southern Africa.
