Beyond expectations!
We have just returned from the trip of a lifetime thanks to Rose and the Luxury Safari Company. Her service was top notch from our very first contact. This was our first trip to Africa, as well as our honeymoon, so we depended on Rose for guidance and she did not disappoint. She tailored the trip exactly to our needs, wishes and budget only offering suggestions when asked. She definitely wanted it to be "our" trip. Our itinerary, internal flights and transfer pick - ups were seamless so that we enjoyed a completely stress free holiday. Her suggestions for locations and camps were suburb and beyond our expectations. "Little Chem Chem" was absolutely incredible - an experience we will never forget - and Nomad Lamai in the Serengeti was perfect. Thank you Rose! Can't wait to plan our next trip with you.

Cape to cape in South Africa
We've worked with other agents and operators in the past and it's been a long time since we (virtually) met someone who provided such personalised service. From taking on our wishlist and building out the options, through to building our itinerary, and ensuring we were excited and had everything to get on our way, Rose's attention to detail cannot be faulted. We had flight delays which cascaded to missing connections, but Rose's easy and detailed itinerary meant we didn't have to fumble through loads of paperwork and emails just to figure out who to call. It was so easy and her recommended accommodation and safari options were top notch. Such an amazing trip that we're already trying to plan our next....

Great service and Great price!!
The level of service and value for money for The Luxury Safari Company was superb. I had various quotes before finding Rose and none of them were anywhere near as professional as her. She listened to what we wanted and put together a package which suited our needs and budget perfectly. All the information given to us for travel was spot on so we knew exactly what to do and when to do it. We had to call one of the emergency numbers in Mozambique on a Sunday as our helicopter was late (these things happen in Mozambique) and the call was answered straight away and our minds put at rest straight away.
I would recommend Rose and The Luxury Safari Company wanting the perfect safari holiday!!

An incredible first trip to Africa - we'll be back!
Our trip was organised in such a short amount of time, and upon sending out a few emails to various companies, Rose was the first to reply. She was always so helpful with answering emails and responding to requests, and gave us a truly incredible safari experience in Kenya. Rose really understood what my father and I were looking for from the trip, and took into account specific things like budget and dates to help us get the most out of it. We ended up staying for 3 nights in the gorgeous Encounter Mara camp in Naboisho Conservancy, and then had an additional 2 nights at the luxurious Richard's River Camp, in Olare Orok Conservancy. Rose organised all of our internal flights to and from the Maasai Mara (we had already booked our international ones, although I'm positive she could have helped with those too!) and on our final day coming back from the Mara had arranged a wonderful day visiting the Giraffe Sanctuary, the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, and the Karen Blixen Museum - so we definitely got the most out of our time in Kenya. Rose was such a good contact - she was incredibly knowledgable, and did her best to keep me informed about everything we needed to know. I would not hesitate to use The Luxury Safari Company again.

The best African experience of our lives.
We used Rose to book our African Safari and she advised us superbly after listening to what we wanted to do/ see. We went to 3 different venues in Zambia and they were all superb. It involved a huge amount of travelling which was all excellent except 1 journey but the choice of camps that we visited were spot on and exactly what we asked for.
We ended up seeing a crocodile attack lions crossing the Zambezi, 2 male leopards having a territorial fight, a pride of 7 lions killing and eating an Impala, 2 mature male lions with a Buffalo kill, a female leopard and her 2 Cubs with an Impala kill being dragged up a tree and the defending versus another female leopard,a hyena and a troop of baboons. Plus of course a million Elephants, hippo's, Impala, water Buck etc
We would strongly recommend the Luxury Safari company to anyone.

Dream Come True!!!!
Thank you Rose for organising such a lovely family holiday!! Two kids aged 5 and 7, my husband and myself enjoyed everything! Our driver who was with us throughout our safari, Felix, was superb! We saw all the big 5, expect the rhino
Saw lions in the tree and even saw a lioness attacking a zebra!!! It was like national geographic but actually being there.
Rose made our whole itenary so well that we had to do nothing but enjoy ourselves!!! Even the airport pick ups and transfers were on time and wonderful
Thank you Rose once again and I cannot wait to go again!!!

Truly magical, surreal & unforgettable first safari experience!
When the opportunity came up to go to Kenya for a friend's wedding, my husband and I knew we wanted to tack on a safari to our adventure. We went on the Offbeat Safari experience through The Luxury Safari Company and it was a real treat. The camp was small and intimate, eco-friendly, relaxing and run by a lovely local couple and their team. We made our own schedule each day. The food was great and re-counting our tales with other travelers over dinner each night was a highlight. We saw pretty much everything you'd hope to see on our 3 days there except a cheetah. We saw two endangered black rhinos and leopards twice, a crossing of elephant families, plenty of zebras, wildebeest, hippos, crocs, vultures, gazelles, giraffes, ostriches, male lions and lionesses their cubs, hyenas eating their kill and loads more. We also visited a Masaai village. Everything was extremely well-organized. An incredible travel experience all around and a great option for a first safari!

Fantastically organised, very special holiday
We have just returned from an incredible honeymoon fantastically organised by Rose. With very little direction from us she created an amazing holiday and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We started off in Sand Rivers in Selous which is an incredible camp surrounded by hippos. We were very lucky to follow a leopard for nearly 2 hrs on one of our drives and even managed some fishing. We then went on to Kigelia in Ruaha which offered great game viewing and a really remote camp with elephants right outside our tent. It was then onto Pemba Island for a very relaxing week in Fundu Lagoon. Having spoken to other campers we realised that not only did Rose do a fantastic job finding us beautiful places to go to she also arranged the most direct flights with the shortest transfers available. We cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Rose!

Unforgettable second Honeymoon!
Upon contacting Rose we were not sure what we really wanted - other than a fabulous adventure at luxury level. From the very beginning she helped us create a unique itinerary, never minding that I wanted to change the dates/hotel/location on almost a daily basis!
We have just returned from 2.5weeks in Zambia and Mozambique - the whole trip was wonderful. There was a lot of travel involved and each journey was seamless - she provided us with itinerary sheets so we always knew where we were going and were always met at each destination by a friendly guide/representative.
We wanted variety, and we certainly got that - we felt we experienced so many different sides of Africa in the short time we were there.
The great thing about Rose is she really listens - she don'ts just try and sell you a pre-made package - she really wants to understand what you as the customer want to get out of your trip - and that is the difference between her and any other travel agent! She is on call 24hrs and replies instantly to every email.
I have already recommended her to a friend who is about to propose to his girlfriend saying he MUST get her to arrange the honeymoon!
