Brilliant Safari and Gorilla Trek
I decided to organise a once in a lifetime trip of safari plus trekking with the Gorillas in Rwanda. Having come across The Luxury Safari Company online, I got in touch, and was immediately contacted. From beginning to end Rose and her team were very professional and responsive, and were able to put together a superb package very quickly, with minimum fuss. Any problems (which were few) that we encountered were swiftly and expertly dealt with. From start to finish this was a magnificent and unique experience, and that is down to The Luxury Safari Company.

Amazing Africa!
Just got home from our amazing trip to Zambia (safari) and Mauritius (beach). Rose's organisation was absolutely spot on, all airport pick-ups and meets ran like clockwork and completely stress free. On arrival at Mfuwe in Zambia we had an exciting night bush drive to the Chindeni camp, a surreal experience when you have been travelling for nearly 20 or so hours; porcupines and a staring contest with an eagle owl sitting on the track were highlights, the owl won! Chindeni Camp is glorious and waking up at 5.45am to a stunning sunrise was a real treat and a special start to our morning walking safaris after a delicious breakfast. The hippos laughing (ho ho ho ho) day and night in the lagoon is a sound we will remember forever, also the lone bull elephant scoffing Nile Cabbage. Walking safari and night drives were fantastic (fortified by sundowners of course) and we learnt so much from our guides about the flora and fauna. Food in the camp was delicious and accommodation very comfortable indeed. Our second camp was Tena Tena, further north after travelling via Mfuwe Lodge where Amy offered us a fortifying breakfast since we were up at silly-o-clock in the morning! Our Tena Tena hostess, Christa, was charming and we were overjoyed to have several sightings of leopard, just as Rose had predicted. Also a memorable drive to a stork colony where on the way we watched two young lions enjoying the morning sun and eyeing up a herd of puku. Again, we were looked after so well and everything was comfortable and yes, we fell in love with this Africa. We were also delighted that the camps help the local economy too. So much to report I could write forever. Our last week was a beach holiday in Mauritius at the Zilwa Attitude. The hotel was fantastic and the staff so welcoming. Sadly the weather was not so good and our excursions to the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden and Catamaran trip were spoilt by rain and grey skies....of course this is not the fault of the lovely hosts or the Luxury Safari Company at all, after all it is winter! However we have to agree that the safari element was outstanding and truly an experience to treasure and we will (I hope) be doing this again in Zambia.......maybe with Malawi in the equation somewhere, for the "water" experience. Thank you to Rose for everything it was EPIC! Highly recommended. Now I must start organising my photographs, I may be some time!

Love the Luxury Safari Company
Never has organizing a honeymoon been easier, all it took was a few short emails and we had the most seamless and perfect time anyone could ask for. Rose provided absolutely first class customer service, out-of-the-box and thoughtful itinerary suggestions and detailed knowledge of the best places to go on safari in Botswana and the best beaches to go to in the Indian Ocean. I wish I could do it all again and I highly recommend The Luxury Safari Company to everyone.

Magical Zambia
Many thanks to Rose who organised our trip to Zambia. This was a 50th Birthday holiday and we had never been on safari, so needed lots of guidance. We told Rose roughly what we would like to do and she suggested several options. Every question we emailed was answered the same day. She helped us every step of the way; booking flights, hotels, transfers and also couriers through airports when needed. This was very useful and fast tracked! Rose arranged Tongabezi Camp in Livingstone for three days for the Victoria falls. Then onto Lower Zambezi to Baines and Sausage Tree camp for four days in each. All had lovely staff with professional and knowledgeable guides. We did canoeing, fishing, went on lots of game drives, sunrise/sunset boat cruises and learnt so much about animal life, and Zambia. Everything was magical, luxurious and went very smoothly. We highly recommend Rose and The Luxury Safari Company. Thanks again.

Amazing Experience!
I had no idea what to expect when I set out for the safari. All I knew was that it was the most money I had spent on myself ever.
The end result was that I had the best time of my life! First class experience all round. Best money ever spent.
Thank you Luxury Safari Company....can't wait to come back.

Kwandwe
Rose did a great job helping us organise our trip to Kwandwe - the recommendation was an excellent one: the logistics of the holiday were seamless and the reserve itself was outstanding. Without the advice, we would almost certainly have spent more money, wasted travel time and missed out on a brilliant experience - so thank you very much!

In Rose We Trust
My wife and i just came back from two weeks in Africa which Rose was instrumental in planning. Her suggestions on the Safari company and where to stay in Cape Town and the Winelands were absolutely spectacular. Amazing boutique hotels that were not only beautiful, but had amazing service. The ONLY downside to our trip was the hotel in Zanzibar (The Residence), which i am ashamed to say I didn't listen to Rose on when she tried to dissuade me from booking! Like I said, In Rose We Trust.
Rose at Luxury Safari did a great job.
Had a wonder trip, this was our 3rd time using Rose and she has never failed to deliver exactly what we want in an African Safari

A Dream Vacation made possible by Rose H. and the Luxury Safari
I have dreamed about an African safari for as long as I could remember, and thank you to Rose and the Luxury Safari company, my dream became an amazing reality. Being a traveler I know things that I like and want when traveling, and Rose worked with me every step of the way to accommodate us. Not only arranging everything that we requested but also the little things and the extras that we would have been too excited to think about . I can honestly say this trip was more than i could have imagined. A few bumps that were uncontrollable were handled very quickly and smoothly and turned out to be better than probably what we had planned originally . Knowing how stressful and picky I was throughout this whole booking experience, Rose was able to keep calm, calm me down and rationalize things to steer me in the right direction. The Giraffe Manor was simply amazing, the staff and the resort are a must do. The Chem Chem resort was by far the highlight, Amazing does not do this resort or the staff justice, Nomand Serengeti camp is a unique experience, and the white sand villas in Zanzibar are breathtaking. I could say Thank you a million times to Rose and Luxury Safari Company, but it just doesn't seem like it would be enough. I can honestly say you will NOT be disappointed booking a trip this way, you will be making a memory to cherish for a lifetime... Thank you again !!!!

Exceptionally efficient and nothing is too much of a problem with immediate responses
The booking was tailor made to exactly what we requested and after confirming the tour, the confirmation was almost immediate. No matter what day of the week Luxury Safari always respond whether on tour or initialising the details. Where service was required the company always ensured this was efficiently available. The whole process more than lived up to expectations. Our safaris to Marataba and Thanda were superb with first rate accommodation, service, food, drink and wonderful safaris for both birds, animals and insects. Great guides. The holiday also including staying in lodges in the Drakensberg Mountains which so enjoyable with fantastic scenery. Overall a wonderful experience.
