Absolutely the BEST!
We gave Rose some broad guidelines - dates possible, activities/sense of adventure desired, age of the group ,then left it all to her. We did not even have an idea which country we'd like to go to! I am so glad we just entrusted our itinerary to her judgement and knowledge. Rose put together the most wonderful trip and which pleased all six of us - from the adventurous youths to the sedentary young-at-heart, from the photographers to the active sportsmen. Each camp was different and exciting - all comforts covered. Each guide was wonderful in their own way. I'm afraid the food was also too good to skip so we are all rather heavier coming home than we bargained for!!
Fantastic!
Rose arranged a fantastic South Africa holiday for us. Her hotel and travel itinerary recommendations were spot on and her service is top notch - very responsive and efficient. All the travel arrangements were well taken care of and we had a wonderful and relaxing holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed the safari and all other accommodation recommended by Rose for our trip.

Fabulous trip for our family in Zambia and South Africa
It has long been a dream of mine to take my children now aged 19, 21 and 25 on safari. I have been several times but have waited to introduce them to the experience. Having put out an original brief to several operators, Rose was unbelievably quick in response despite the fact that she was in a tent in the bush at the time. By the time she had reworked the itinerary several times, other operators had not even responded.
The trip was superb, great locations which exceeded expectations, with incredible service and staff, and the logistics of the trip completely seamless. At every part we were met by very efficient and friendly guides who whisked us from one place to the next bypassing all sorts of queues we would have endured had we attempted it alone. I would have no hesitation in using the luxury safari company for our next trip and have already recommended them to others. Botswana next time Rose - Im already looking forward to it !

Rose looks after every detail - dream adventure for us!
Rose and her team were beyond efficient. Any query during the planning process was answered immediately, we always felt in very capable hands, which was important because we were flying half way around the world for an adventure of a life time!
AND WE GOT IT!
We stayed in Nairobi the first night at:
Hotel 148:
It was so beautiful. When we arrived at 10:30pm, Ruth served us the most delicious roasted red pepper and tomato soup and an avocado-chick pea salad that was to die for! Just perfect, fire going in the room.
The grounds and the dining house were stunning and the breakfast delicious.
The next day our driver met us and took us to the smaller airport and we headed to:
Cottars 1920 Camp
Everything we could ever wish for! Elegant, Old Africa vibe, friendly, great food, looked after our every need. Amazing Masai guides, ours was Enoch, lovely man, these guides know the land and animals, and respect the land and animals, all while showing us incredible sights.
Our tent had such a beautiful view looking out over the savannah, nicely appointed and very private.
We saw a male lion roar and our chests vibrated with the indescribable sound! We saw everything we came for and felt such a connection with Masai Mara.
Hope we can go back one day, and if we do, Luxury Safari Company will be the first place we contact !

An Amazing and Extraordinary adventure
Comments from my group...
“Everything was amazing. The safari was better than the last. Our guide and the staff were wonderful. “ Dianne L
I need to share this with you and your staff…. It was not just my work.
“Your unrelenting attention to detail and generous planning made this the trip of a lifetime. We are so very very very grateful for all that you did to pull off the extraordinary adventure. Thank you thank you.” Donielle and Tim S.
“This trip was amazing, we got to see the Big Five. It was incredible, just watching the leopard gracefully get up and make its way down the tree.” Joe L
Another one to share with you and your staff.. it was not just me.
“It was such an awesome trip, thank you for everything you did for us.” Thad P.
And from me…. To be honest, I have always dealt with Amex because I felt comfortable having them as a buffer in case anything went wrong and so going directly with The Luxury Safari was kind of scary. I would like to say thank you Rose, you did a fantastic job, you were able to work with our budget and our payment terms, you came through with everything you promised and I will be happy to give anyone who asks me about an African Safari your information!
Thanks again for everything and I am sorry for the delay in relaying everyone’s comments. Sharmini E

Honeymoon with safari in Tanzania and beach relaxation at Seychelles
The Luxury Safari Company made our honeymoon beyond what we could have dreamed about. The service from day one has been extrodinary with great follow up service pre departure, during the vacation and after. The service has been personal and very professional. I would highly recommend the company to others wanting a personal process with very good knowledge about different lodges, destinations and time of year to travel where.

Once-in-a-lifetime trip became first-in-a-lifetime; already planning when I can go back!
I can't say enough about Rose and The Luxury Safari Company. My best friend and I decided to stop talking about going on safari "someday soon" and to step up to the plate and do it. We are just getting back from almost three magical weeks there. Going in, we knew we wanted to see animals but didn't know much more. Rose guided us flawlessly and packaged a three-camp trip that far exceeded our wildest imaginings. All three camps were part of the Elewana Collection, and each was a fabulous and uniquely different experience. Put together, they comprised a perfect snapshot of our African dream and will be a great barometer when planning the next trip. Rose's availability and virtually immediate responsiveness to questions was unparalleled, and all facets of the trip from our departure from Nairobi to the bush, to our departure at trip's end back home went off without a hitch. I could go on and on and on and on, but suffice it to say that I cannot recommend this company more highly and feel incredibly lucky that with all the tour companies out there, we chose this one. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD NEEDS TO GO TO AFRICA, and call Luxury Safari Company to facilitate it!

It has not been our first adventure organized by LSC, yet they do not seize to amaze us!!!
LSC has yet again provided us with a faultless service from the first to the very last minute. Although our experience with LSC has - yet again - exceeded our expectations we envy those who will get to know their work for the very first time!..

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.

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.
