Always amazing, reliable and have clients best interest at heart
It’s our 4th time on safari with Rose and we were amazed and surprised at how detailed and seamless our trip is.
If you want someone reliable, trustworthy and have your best interest at heart, Rose is the one for you. We had a scare when our flight out from Lusaka (which we booked ourselves) were messed up when the airline retimed our flight, which affected our connecting flight. We were so stressed and sent an SOS to Rose in the middle of the night and she and her team help us sort it out and all worked out well in the end. Rose just said: go enjoy your morning game drive and it will sorted by the time you are back to camp. True to her words, everything works out and we managed to see an epic sight during game drive - a hyena trying to take on an elephant! We thought we have to cancel our morning drive to sort out the flight mess but Rose just took care of it for us!
We felt so loved and well taken care of by Rose and her team. There will be more safaris for us and we will always stick with Rose! She’s one in a million! Thanks for planning an amazing vacation for us! Love you guys!

Excellent Service, Expert Knowledge, An Enchanting Experience
Rose organised the whole trip to Tongabezi in Zambia to see Victoria Falls, followed by Little Machaba and then Baines Camp in Okavango Delta in Botswana. Everything worked like clockwork, all three camps were spectacular and we enjoyed the best trip ever. Thank you! We saw loads of game, our private guides were extremely knowledgeable and the perfect hosts, and we enjoyed excellent accommodation, hospitality, cuisine and service. The Falls and the Zambezi river were spectacular, and the Delta is a magical place. We can't recommend Rose and The Luxury Safari Company highly enough.

A Trip of a Lifetime!
As someone who has never been to Africa, I was nervous about my first trip, but Rose at The Luxury of Safari Co. knows the best places to go and selected the perfect lodge for my needs: The Royal Portfolio’s Waterside. From seeing the Big 5 in the first two game drives to gaining five pounds because the food was so amazing, the trip was perfect. I never had to contact Rose once, and I cannot imagine a more seamless experience. I wish she didn’t just do safaris because I’d use her for all of my trips!

Rose is an incredibly knowledgeable & responsive agent who planned the perfect trip.
We wanted a trip that was luxurious enough to be worthy of a big birthday celebration but had the wildlife at the heart of the experience. Rose recommended Sausage Tree Camp for safari followed by Tongabezi, both in Zambia, so that we could see Victoria Falls before coming home. It turned out perfectly with incredible animal sightings and great hospitality at Sausage Tree and unadulterated luxury at Tongabezi.
Rose is very knowledgeable and has first hand knowledge of the properties. She put a lot of effort into finding the right places for us and everything went without a hitch. When I had any minor queries I don’t think it ever took more than a couple of hours to get a response which is very reassuring. The Luxury Safari Co would give us the confidence to travel to parts of Africa we might not have considered before, something we hope to do before too long.

Wonderful trip because of the careful planning.
Rose replied to all our queries, concerns and needs with minimal delay (time difference). Always with ready suggestions if we needed to tweak our plans. Highly recommended.

Hugely knowledgeable, excellent communication
Rose was superb in helping us choose the right location, type of safari and which lodge.
We gave Rose a very broad brief (Safari in Africa), and over the course of several discussions, we found a safari that suited our preferences, timing and budget, which was healthy but not unlimited or extravagant.
From that point onwards, the organisation and communication was excellent, and we traveled in the reassuring knowledge that Rose would be available should the need arise, which it didn’t.
Overall, we travelled as a family of four (2 x adults + 2 x children aged 12 and 14) to Machaba Camp in Botswana for four nights. It was heaven. Lions, Leopards, Hyenas plus as many Elephants, Zebras, Hippos and Giraffes as you could count.
The Camp was extremely comfortable, but it was also very real. We felt very connected to the animals, and the African bush. My family were worried about sleeping in tents, but their concerns were unfounded. It was a joy to sleep safely in luxury tents listening to our surroundings. We felt safe at all times.
Many fellow travelers were splitting their safari across several different camps, eg 2 nights at one camp and then 2/3 nights at others. We choose not to because we preferred to be relaxed and minimize travel. It’s purely personal preference.
Overall, the trip could not have been better. Thank you, Rose and The Luxury Safari company.

Excellence on every level and within every detail
Living in California, my husband I are started researching boutique safari travel consultants locally and throughout the US. That's when I learned: the best is yet to come! The Luxury Safari Company (based in UK) exceeded our expectations in every way. And that can be found from initial email correspondence - being timely and responsive (despite time difference) and what i found most appealing, compared to other Providers, curious about OUR needs and desires for our trip, our specific expectations, our time and budget parameters - and really listening and providing options and a beautifully curated itinerary that completely fit the bill. Not having ever traveled in Africa before, it was a pleasant and welcome benefit to have an ambassador from the Luxury Safari Co. meet us in Nairobi Airport and ferry us through customs and more as a resident. Bags quickly on board the waiting vehicle - and off we were as VIPS! The remaining agenda was the same - magical, seamless, no travel headaches for logistics - simply enjoying the true nature of the land and animals, the people, the culture and oh the food! yes - 10 stars if i could! - Eve and Ian

The most fantastic safari holiday
Our family has just returned from a week-long holiday to Kenya, organised by Rose at The Luxury Safari Company. We had the most wonderful time - our best holiday on record! - and could not recommend The Luxury Safari Company more highly.
We do not usually use travel companies to organise our trips, but this was our first safari and first journey to sub-Saharan Africa, and so we wanted the guidance of an expert to make sure we had the best experience.
From our first contact with Rose she was highly responsive and professional, keen to assess and understand our needs and desires for the trip. We have an 8 year old son and she was very thoughtful about how travelling with children needs to be factored in at every stage of planning. She presented us with some great options but steered us towards two centres for our holiday - Angama Mara in the Masai Mara and Alfajiri Villas in Diani Beach.
She also planned all flights and transfers to maximise our time away. This included organising a fantastic meet and greet service on arrival in Nairobi where we were whisked through immigration and baggage to the domestic terminal for our connecting flight. Rose also - very thoughtfully - arranged a day room and dinner in Nairobi to take us through a gap between our domestic flight from Diani and our return flight to London. In essence, we didn't need to think or worry about a thing at any point during the trip! If only all long haul travel could feel this way!
The two venues which Rose recommended for our holiday were both absolutely superb. The setting, facilities, food and service at both were flawless and we adored our time at both.
We cannot thank Rose and The Luxury Safari Company enough for arranging the most amazing trip. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services and are looking forward to booking with them again very soon.

A luxury holiday company that provides a first class service.
Having never visited South Africa before I had no idea where to start and from my initial contact with The Luxury Safari Company I knew that I was in safe hands and that they would put together an itinerary that would be perfect for us and they did just that. We originally booked to go to South Africa in 2020 which was postponed to 2022 due to Covid. It was an incredible trip and one we will remember forever. Thank you Luxury Safari Company.
