An out of this world two week holiday!
Rose arranged the most incredible trip for us to South Africa. She really listened to our interests as well as the kinds of hotels we usually like and came up with a really varied itinerary taking in Cape Town, Sabi Sands and Madikwe. It really felt like it was tailored to us rather than a standard South Africa itinerary. Any questions we had during the whole process, Rose answered quickly and with lots of information. Every detail was thought of and we felt in great hands throughout the whole trip knowing that every stage had been thoroughly planned so that everything ran like clockwork. It really was the most memorable trip and we can't wait to start planning another one!

Honeymoon for the ages...!!
Rose and the team helped plan our incredible honeymoon which started at the Banyan Tree in the Seychelles, continued on to Singita Boulders (maybe the best place on Earth...), on to Madikwe Hills and then finishing at the Ellerman House (maybe the second best place on Earth...) in Cape Town. This my was first time planning such a trip and Rose was incredibly helpful. Not only did she custom plan the entire itinerary which was challenging given how many stops we made (11 flights in total!) but she delivered a custom welcome package a couple of months before the trip with flight numbers, packing lists, local customers, travel guides, and other special considerations. Where necessary, she arranged for someone to meet us inside the airport as well as drivers at each of the stops to shepherd us to our next destination. Moreover, given this was our first time to Africa and the number of stop we were making I had a lot of questions once on the ground there. Rose was quickly responsive with all of my emails which gave my wife and I are great sense of reassurance and relief that everything was being handled, and it was. Would definitely recommend Rose and the team to anyone booking a trip to Africa and who wants to ensure that their trip is custom-tailored to their desires, rather than a “canned”, mass-marketed experience. Wish we were still there...

An incredible holiday with excellent support & planning
Having just returned from an incredible week in Mozambique, I felt the need to write a review to thank Rose and her team for planning a perfect trip. From initial contact, right through to receiving my final itinerary, the team were brilliant. They have a passion for Africa and worked hard to ensure our trip was perfectly crafted for us. What a magical experience Azura was - beautiful beaches, amazing snorkelling and the most delicious food. The trip was truly special and something we will remember for years to come. Thanks again Luxury Safari Company for pulling it all together and making the process so easy. We'll be in touch again soon!

The Perfect Holiday
We have just returned from an amazing trip to South Africa and Mauritius. Rose and her team organised the perfect trip for us from leaving the UK right through to our return to Gatwick everything was so well planned and we were able to totally relax knowing that flights, transfers and accommodation would all be booked and arranged for us. Rose's knowledge of the best areas to visit and stay were exceptional. We can highly recommend Dulini camp and The Oberoi in Mauritius both suggested by Rose and they were the perfect choices for what we were looking for. We needed to explain to Rose about certain medical conditions and we felt reassured the accommodation would meet our requirements. This was the trip of a lifetime for us and we cannot express enough how much Rose's advice and help made it the perfect holiday which far exceeded our expectations. A huge thank you to all the team at The Luxury Safari Company for making this holiday our best ever.

Fantastic Safari!!!!
We just returned from our Safari holiday to Botswana / Cape Town / Kruger Nat'l park. Our first trip to Botswana and stayed at the Duba Plains camp in the Okavango, which was an amazing camp and Rose assured us it would be spectacular when we booked it even though it was going to be completely rebuilt. We were not disappointed and Rose was 100% on the money. We returned to Kruger Sabi Sabi and Lion Sand Ivory lodge, which was a return trip from our honeymoon, and was also renovated and well appointed. Rose was fantastic to work with as we were traveling with a total of 4 people, some who were not experienced travelers and thus had lots of questions. The Luxury Safari Company was there and available before, during, and after the trip to help us along. A real pleasure to work with such a knowledgeable group, who understand our desires and helped us design a holiday that met our standards and made it so all we had to worry about was enjoying our time away. Traveling with Rose at the helm of planning is a must and we look forward to when we can enjoy the fruits of her planning again.....
Efficient service that exceeded expectations
My family visited Kruger National Park, the Victoria Falls and Johannesburg in June. Rose and her team made the experience fuss-free and extremely enjoyable. After we discussed what we wanted to do during the trip and our expectations regarding accommodation, she and her team arranged all the logistics for us. Everything that she arranged went seamlessly and exceeded our expectations. One particular incident that left us extremely impressed occurred when our flight from Kruger to Livingstone was delayed (through no fault of the company's). We were running on an tight schedule and the delayed flight reduced our touring time and caused us to miss a helicopter ride over the Victoria Falls that we had been looking forward to. Thankfully, Rose and her team rose to the occasion and quickly arranged another helicopter ride for us the next morning, and even arranged for the helicopter to take us immediately to the airport so that we could catch our flight out of Livingstone punctually. Rose's responsiveness and efficient management of this hiccup on such short notice allowed us to enjoy our holiday without worries. We are very happy with the services that Rose and her team provided, and highly recommend The Luxury Safari Company to anyone who wants to enjoy the beauty of South Africa hassle-free.

Nailed It!
Dream come true! Never could I have imagined there were lodges offering such luxury in "the bush". And LSC was able to not only direct us to such locations but cover every detail. Ground transport always on time. Reservations always accurate. Staff courteous and helpful. A+ across the board...

Luxury Safari Company Exceeds Expectations!
This summer my family took a safari to South Africa and Zambia to celebrate grandma's 70th and as well as other family milestones! Rose at Luxury Safari company planned and coordinated the entire ten day trip with me for our group of five! She was patient and thoughtful as we spoke. I had A LOT of questions! She found us amazing lodges that were within our budget, but we're truly luxurious! All of our transfers were planned and every time we changed location or arrived somewhere new, there was a host waiting for us! Our group ranged from 6years old to 76 years old. Rose kept this in mind and found us amazing family oriented lodges that catered to little ones with activities and kiddo menus!
Each of the three lodges we stayed at was unique and different and delighted us with surprises and truly pampering experiences! We saw a ton of animals at all three locations including SA's big five!
Trip of a lifetime! We highly recommend The Luxury Safari Company! C

(High) Expectations Exceeded!
Just returned from a safari in Kenya and Tanzania with my 9 year-old daughter. Rose planned the perfect itinerary, found us the perfect lodges and camps, and booked the most amazing private guide for us - all of which combined made for a fantastic trip. I've been on quite a few safaris but this was the first with my child, and we brought along a friend who was also on her first safari, so I wanted it to be really special. Rose went above and beyond to make sure it all came together and it did. Was super impressed, especially, by the "Wild Child" program and kid-friendly staff at Kichwa Tembo (if you have a child - go there!) and the elegance, beauty, and level or service at Entamanu Ngorongoro. All the details were well organized, and communication was excellent at all times. Having a pro guide with us all the way through was the best - and meant that we always had our own private game drives and could be on whatever schedule and pace that worked best for us. I can't imagine ever booking a group safari again, now that I know the level of service available from Rose! To Rose and the team at Luxury Safari Company: thank you, thank you, thank you!!

fantastic trip
Rose worked hard within a very short time-frame and at short notice to compile a fantastic Kenyan experience, with a bit of R&R in the Seychelles tacked-on. Excellent organisation with seamless travel connections at every point, delightful people all along the way, beautiful locations and hospitality. i Just have to work a bit harder to afford to take the family again-thanks Rose!
