Very professional and super responsive service
Rose and her team did an amazing job! We booked the trip last minute (over Christmas and New Year, a lot was booked already) and had many criteria - she managed to organize everything in a way that exactly met our requests and needs, making it a fantastic and unforgettable experience for us.
Rose is super responsive and professional and we enjoyed working with her a lot. She has also been very reliable and we can highly recommend her and her team to everyone.

Informative, helpful and attentive
Rose helped us book our 16-night honeymoon in Africa that ended up being the trip of a lifetime. She was very knowledgeable about the places we wanted to visit, offered her insights and feedback on decisions that we were making (without being pushy!) and stayed in touch with us leading up to and after our visit. We took her recommendations on where to stay and they ended up being more than we could have hoped for. It's clear she knows the resorts that she suggests and I would definitely use her again if we went back!

Flawless
We first contacted Rose about 4 weeks before we left for our trip (just before Christmas). We thought this might be a bit last minute but it proved no issue. We had a simple brief in that we wanted the best possible experience but knew nothing about Kenya or safaris. From the moment we landed all was taken care of. We had no need to contact Rose at any point and felt comfortable and looked after throughout the trip (we have travelled a lot but never to Africa). If there was a way to improve upon the service offered by Rose and the experience we had on holiday I cannot imagine it.

First class
When I first contacted Rose to enquire about setting up our holiday in Kenya and Zanzibar, I really had very little by way of a brief. But after a short chat, Rose picked up on what we were after and emailed us details of some amazing places to choose from. After we honed it down to a location with a view of Mount Kenya (my husband is a budding photographer) it was an easy choice to go for Lewa. After this, everything was taken care of, from transfers to last minute queries and details. The overall experience was simply wonderful in every way and I would recommend the Luxury Safari Company with no hesitation - we are already planning the next trip!
Absolutely wonderful
We went to Kenya and Zanzibar with the excellent help of Rose Hipwood and the Luxury Safari company. We spent 3 nights at the superb and authentic Cottars safari camp in the Masai Mara (it felt like we had travelled back in time...) and then we went to a beautiful villa resort in Zanzibar. I cannot recommend this company enough. Everything was sorted and taken care of, from food preferences (we traveled with a young child) to drivers, airplane transfers, gold guides and gorgeous accommodations. It was the best holiday ever, and we are already making plans for another trip. I cannot recommend these people enough. I wish Rose could plan my life!!

First class all round
We have just returned from an absolutely wonderful 15 night holiday spanning two different Safari locations and the island of Zanzibar. From first contact to a welcome home message, Rose provides a friendly and first class service. Her recommendation of Sirikoi Lodge in Lewa and Cottars 1920 Camp in the Masai Mara was faultless, the two centres complimented each other perfectly and enabled up to see a wide range of northern and southern animals. We travelled with our two daughters, age 7 & 11, and they had the most amazing experiences, including having their own 'tent' and guard at Sirikoi and feeding the pet giraffe there. Everything was taken care of from the moment we landed in Nairobi and were met coming off the plane with a private car to the arrivals hall! After a week of safaris the beach at Tulia, Zanzibar was the perfect end to our trip. It is true that Africa gets under your skin and we are already dreaming of going back. If you are looking for hassle-free, friendly, knowledgeable and first-class help to book your holiday to Africa then you will not be disappointed in the Luxury Safari Company.

7 Star Service. 10 Star Luxury
Rose and the Luxury Safari Company know how to put together an amazing Safari. From day one, they were responsive, friendly and supremely knowledgeable. The Tanzanian safari to the AMAZING Little ChemChem, and Superb Alex Walker Serian camp was just out of this world. The thing that stood out was the attentive, quick responses and solutions to any of our questions or ideas... seemingly 24/7. Can’t wait to book our next trip!

Special holiday
We went to kenya for 7days.
From the moment I got off the plane in Nairobi, our wonderful journey began.
Arranging aircrafts and lodges were completely problem free. There were perfect.
Thank you, Rose !

Great experience in Botswana
Rose has organized for us a "twin" safari stay in the Okavango delta combining a water safari location in the Belmond eagle Island lodge very interesting for getting close by boat to crocs, elephants, hippos (even very close to those guys), impalas and all sorts of birds and a land safari location in the Belmond Khwai river lodge which is really fantastic (if you go ask for a guide named Obie, he is the best!) here you'll find a lot of games and a very nice staff, good food, good wine and nice rooms.. the place to go!
