The best African experience of our lives.
5/5

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.

An incredible first trip to Africa - we'll be back!
5/5

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.

Great service and Great price!!
5/5

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!!

Cape to cape in South Africa
5/5

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....

Beyond expectations!
5/5

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.

Heartfelt thanks for an amazing holiday, superbly organised and executed by Rose
5/5

This was a superb holiday thoroughly enjoyed by all four of us. Everything was just marvellously organised and went like clockwork, even in the most remote reaches of Botswana. The properties Rose chose were very special and so diverse. Nanette at Ghoha Hills in the Savuti was a standout for her truly caring manner. The appointments at Madikwe Hills Game Lodge were six star!!

We would thoroughly recommend The Luxury Safari Company to anyone looking for a wonderful holiday full of special moments and lasting memories. Rose is an absolute professional you can trust. She listens closely to your wish list, is always prompt in her replies and she knows her stuff.

They really do what they say!
5/5

Thank you for all your help and arranging an incredible trip. The hotels and lodges you recommended to us were all perfect; comfortable, luxurious and at the same time not too formal. The logistics worked very smoothly and as they say, you do what it says on the tin - organise really great luxury safari's and holidays where all the bits of the jigsaw that a make a trip fantastic fitted perfectly. Communicating with you was really easy and you certainly understood what we wanted and delivered it.

We expected much but got way more than we imagined !
5/5

Just came back from 8 amazing days in Tanzania. We stayed one night near Arusha, 2 nights in Ngorongoro Crater Lodge and 4 nights at Nomad Lamai in the north Serengeti.
The lodges, guides and transportation were perfect. We were taken care off 100% of the time like clockwork.
The Serengeti was undoubtedly the highlight of the trip (we could have skipped Ngorongoro altogether and do 3 days in Zanzibar).
I'm very pleased with how The Luxury Safari Company took care of us and will be happy to book with them again to another Safari...

My trip to Botswanna with my two daughters
5/5

It was our first ever safari experience and it lived up to all our expectations and more. The Luxury Safari Company and our contact Rose was very efficient and responded to all of our questions and concerns immediately, which made the whole experience extremely easy. Any problems/change of schedule were quickly resolved for example my youngest daughter had an exam the day of the originally scheduled flight and Rose did not hesitate to change the internal flights and also ensured that she was met airside in Johannesburg to take her to her next flight. Every detail of the itinerary was executed and we had no issues with any transfers/transportation. Our trip to Botswana and Savute Lodge was fantastic and the two days in Cape Town were also wonderful. We would recommend this company to any of our friends and we will certainly use them again.
