Unbeatable honeymoon
I honestly can't think of any way in which Rose and her team could have laid on a better honeymoon for my wife and me. Not only was she able to recommend spectacular locations that suited us perfectly, based on clearly outstanding and broad knowledge of the possible options, but she was also incredibly attentive, always getting back to our queries - simple and complex - within hours, including on weekends.
Stunningly awesome !
Rose did an amazing job to deliver an itinerary that way surpassed our expectations. Accommodation...service...all just blew us away. In fact, we were so pleased, we wrote to Rose to tell her what a great job she had done...even before our trip ended, and to sound her out that we will be in touch with her shortly...to book our next safari. If we had to find a shortcoming, we would have to say that we ate and drank more than we should have, because we were so spoilt for choice. Thanks Rose ! We have since recommended you to our friends.

The perfectly planned 60th birthday adventure.
I can't say enough good things about the trip Rose put together for me. It exceeded my expectations in so many ways.
The camps, the guides, the sites, the food all outstanding.
The ladies of Dunia Camp threw me a birthday party that brought me to tears. Singing and dancing, drums and grass skirts, even hand made cards and speeches.
It was very special and I can't wait to return.
All transfers seamless all accommodations lovely (with the possible exception of no elevator at the Zanzibar Palace).
You made the impossible seem effortless. When I thought I had no hope of replacing my canceled trip they did it all to perfection in less than a month.

excellence in service
for the second time, rose hipwood managed to put together at short notice an amazing holiday for the whole family. from the time we arrived in Kenya to the time we left it was clockwork efficiency all the way. her choice of 2 lodges - sasaab in samburu and angama in the Maasai mara exceeded expectations. apart from the lodge staff which papered us so well, the game experience was awesome - with crocodiles snapping at the heels of zebras crossing the masai river, the wildebeest crossings and herds of the animals scattering from a charging lion. hiccups like a cancelled international flight (!) posed no issue with the luxury safari company handling it with aplomb. highly highly recommended.
Marvelous trip
Great from start to finish. The Mara was beyond expectation. Amazing numbers and variety of wildlife - the highlight was catching the migration when it had looked futile - the main herd was not cooperating and our guides from Offbeat moved to a spot where we had an exclusive showing as they crossed the river)! The two camps were just right for what we wanted - warm, attentive, great guides and gave us an authentic experience that was exactly what we were looking for. I can't thank you enough. The trip could not have been easier to set up on my end and delivered more perfectly. All travel agents should be so good!

exhilaration, discovery, and addiction
Rose gave us exactly what we wanted - mobile camping with an expert guide whose enthusiasm and knowledge were unbounded. We were certain we did not want to share " camp" guides with guests who wanted luxury or service : it was 100% about being in the wilderness and getting close to animals and birds and learning about their behaviour. We had the most thrilling time and loved every moment: amazing game drives, a fabulous guide to ourselves, and the joy of camping in the wild ( with a charming team to look after us). We thought this was our last safari but it is just too addictive......
We wanted a once in a lifetime safari. Rose made our dream come true!
Just returned from a family trip in Tanzania. We do not have enough strong words to thank Rose for this fabulous experience! It was our first safari and we wanted a once in a lifetime trip. Rose has been amazing. She understood what we were looking for from the very beginning and organized a tailor-made trip that exceeded our expectations (and they were VERY high!) . And she has been reactive and available 7/7, 24/24 even for small questions all the tIme. Thank you again Rose for taking such good care of us . We will remember this trip forever . Everything was perfect . Can't wait for you to organize a new safari for us!

Flawless Execution
My wife and I were a bit nervous as we had never used this company before and had never been to Africa. We also planned last minute (not recommended). However, Rose designed a trip that was perfect for what we asked for and all the connections, lodging etc. was simply flawless. When we go back to Africa, which we will, we will use Rose and Luxury Safari.

1st class service from start to finish !
Never visiting Kenya before or been on Safari , we had huge expectations for this special trip .On speaking with Rose she" got us" straight away and advised on which lodges would suit us for luxury and great viewing ..... each one was different in landscapes , the game we saw and service .All were equally stunning but for different reasons .
We then finished at a beach resort near Diani , just for sheer relaxation . Rose couldn't have chose better for us .Best holiday ever !

The best ever...beyond your expectations
I know there are a lot of companies out there that offer safaris and everyone who goes on theirs says there's was the best but honestly if you want a 1st class holiday that all details are taken care of I suggest that you book with Rose at the luxury safari company. This was our first safari but we have travelled quite a bit so we were not knew to travelling. We visited Kenya ..three different camps that were totally different but totally amazing. How many of you have a massage where a leopard sneaks in to see if everything is going okay. What I loved as much as all the amazing animals ..and yes we did see the big 5 , were the people and the staff at the camps. They were all so knowledgable and extremely welcoming. I could go on and on about this experience but honestly if you want a trip of a life time with all details taken care of Rose at the Luxury Safari Company is where you want to be.
