Exceptional Experience in East Africa
My family and I had the vacations of a lifetime in Tanzania & Kenya. From picking up places/lodges to organizing tours and answering our questions, Rose Hipwood did an outstanding job. We did not have to worry about anything else than finding wild animals and relaxing at the most beautiful sceneries in Africa! I totally reccomend The Luxury Safari Company for anyone looking for an amazing experience and luxury safaris.

Flawless Namibian adventure where every detail was looked after and each location built on the last
This trip lived up to our dreams and so much more. Rose’s itinerary really showcased Namibia in a beautiful and exciting way. Each camp took us on exciting excursions where we got to really learn about the region and wildlife. Originally we had expected Namibia to be more of a landscape safari but our guides were so incredible at tracking and knowing their camps that we found so much wildlife everywhere we went, including the spotting of the elusive desert black rhino!
Aside from the adventure element of the trip, I have to say that the camps were true luxury. They were quite obviously designed with privacy in mind, and each had a character to them that enhanced the landscape around you. Each camp also selected a beautiful spot to have either breakfast lunch or sunset snack in beautiful lighting overlooking stunning landscapes. As a photographer by trade, I could not have been more happy in one of the most beautiful countries I have experienced.
A sincere thank you to Rose & her team for an incredible trip! We’re really looking forward to working with her again :)!

Absolutely fantastic!
The organization and planning of the trip was flawless. Everything and everyone was on time and at the right place with the right things. The trip exceeded our expectations. The physical aspect of the climb and particularly the descent was much harder than anyone expected. But all 6 family members rose to the challenge. And everyone indicated that they would not have wanted to know in advance just how demanding it was going to be. I would highly recommend this company for anyone considering a Kilimanjaro climb. Our head guide had summitted over 400 times and there wasn’t anything that arose that he hadn’t dealt with before.

An incredible family holiday to South Africa
We have just returned from a wonderful tour of South Africa. It was incredible. Rose arranged an amazing trip for us and we loved every minute. We were looked after from start to finish and it was truly a luxury safari experience.
Rose really knows Africa inside and out and and she is always there to answer any question you may have, literally in minutes! I felt really confident that everything would go smoothly and it did. A really fantastic trip, thank you Rose.

Christmas 2018 Serengetie Safari
Called Rose late in November to arrange a high end safari over Christmas. She was able in less than 24 hours to come back with a very detailed and interesting itinerary. The hotels/flights/safaris were exactly "as advertised" with no surprises or hidden costs. Exceptionally happy with the prompt response, professionalism and attention to details. Highly recommend her and her company.

A wonderful experience shared with our children
Thank you so much to Rose and the crew. I new straight away when I spoke to Rose that she would do a wonderful job. When I asked for her advice on where to take out kids for their first safari , she did not hesitate to tell us that Kenya is well set up for keeping them entertained. Everything was so organised and went entirely to plan. The camps, the guides, the food were all top class. It was just so easy with TLSC ....

First Class Service coupled with passionate guides and amazing food
We just completed a Botswana Safari with the Luxury Safari Company and Thomsons Safari in Tanzania. While they were in different countries it was evident that the the level of care and Guides was a cut above for TLSC. The differences were across the board from accommodation to food and most importantly to the guides. It is like comparing a very good bottle of wine to a 95 point bottle of wine. Both are good but you never forget the excellent one.
We highly recommend TLSC.

First class all the way!
Rose and the luxury safari company were amazing. Right from the first time I talked to Rose I felt I was in the right hands and excited to head into this journey. The trip was unbelievable, the places, the sightings, the people, and the food, all first class. We did it all from helicopters to hot air balloons. This was our bucket list trip. If you want the trip of a life time, do it right, do it all, and the luxury safari company made it all happen for us. I don't think we will ever stop talking about what an amazing opportunity it was. There were days that we thought we were in a National Geographic magazine! Thanks Rose and company, hoping that we may be able to come again soon!

First class from start to finish....
Having decided to go on our first safari in tandem with exploring some areas of Africa I contacted the luxury safari company after doing some research into providers. From the outset Rose was able to share her knowledge and experience of various countries to enable us to plan our trip from a far more informed point of view
We wanted to go whale watching in South Africa and visit Cape Town staying at the Silo Hotel, followed by safari and finishing at Victoria falls.
Rose made herself available from both the UK and Africa to answer my many questions and look at various options
After a number of tweaks the final itinerary delivered everything we had wanted and on our return we can say the whole experience has exceeded our expectations
Our hotels and safari lodges were outstanding throughout - everything has been taken care of for us, the rooms, guides, drivers, food and drinks have all been excellent.
We have watched whales in Hermanus, enjoyed Cape Town - Table Mountain, the beautiful wine lands and tours of the area. Safari in Botswana has taken us to the Okavango delta, Linyanti and the Makgadikgadi desert where we have seen a huge range of wonderful wildlife and different landscapes along with sleeping in the wild under a canopy of stars
Finishing at Victoria falls gave us a chance to slow down and enjoy the serene beauty of this natural wonder topped off with a great helicopter flight to view the whole area
All of our flights, transfers, hotels and tours were impeccably managed with a person waiting to greet us at every point.
We will certainly use Rose and the LSC next time we visit Africa.

Fantastic experience from start to finish.
I booked a surprise honeymoon and the team were discreet and helpful throughout the whole process, recommending the perfect lodges for the most romantic time away. As a couple of photographers, the trip was geared towards the best opportunities for snapping, whilst also taking into account the desire to be remote and quiet, away from the motorway of the Masai Mara at peak season.
Surprise candlelit dinners were a real highlight.
