The Perfect Holiday
We have just returned from an amazing trip to South Africa and Mauritius. Rose and her team organised the perfect trip for us from leaving the UK right through to our return to Gatwick everything was so well planned and we were able to totally relax knowing that flights, transfers and accommodation would all be booked and arranged for us. Rose's knowledge of the best areas to visit and stay were exceptional. We can highly recommend Dulini camp and The Oberoi in Mauritius both suggested by Rose and they were the perfect choices for what we were looking for. We needed to explain to Rose about certain medical conditions and we felt reassured the accommodation would meet our requirements. This was the trip of a lifetime for us and we cannot express enough how much Rose's advice and help made it the perfect holiday which far exceeded our expectations. A huge thank you to all the team at The Luxury Safari Company for making this holiday our best ever.

A beautiful Safari Expereince
It was a nice experience to do the safari at serengeti, lake manyara and ngorongoro.
The communication was extremly hard, because we booked over an kenyan company.
Living in the tents was great - matresses and sleeping bags where available.
The next time it would be great to know that we need a small bag for 2 days, and maybe how the climate it at ngorongoro - because there we had really cold.

Gorillas in the Impenetrable forest.
From my first prompt response from Violet, to being dropped off at my hotel at the end of the trip, the Gorilla Tours staff were at the top of their game - helpful, solicitous and passionate about their country & what it has to offer the visitor. The hour we spent with the gorillas was probably my top wildlife experience ever (beating the Red deer rut in Scotland and polar bears in the Arctic) and I have unforgetable memories of the Silverback 'laughing' at the antics of the youngsters crashing down through the trees and the babies beating their chests at us in true TV Tarzan fashion and........ Go and see for yourselves.

Listen + Understand + Plan = Unforgettable & Awesome holiday :)
We had a really wonderful time there. We saw the most beautiful sunset, had the most amazing game drives and received awesome services provided (especially at the Tintswalo Manor House). It was really an experience for all of us and South Africa is really a beautiful place! The planning was very detailed, with useful advices on the number of days to spend on each places. Perfect!

Excellent tour
We have been very pleased with the 3 days tour to Selous NP operated by Selous Explorer. The accommodation at the Hippocamp has exceeded our expectations - we tought we would sleep in a tent, but there was actually a room with proper bed, toilet and shower. Although I forgot to inform Norbert and his team that we are vegetarians, our cook Benson has made good meals and snacks for us.
The car used for the safari was in really good shape. Although the road to the reserve was flooded and full of mud, our driver and guide (Nesto) has done a great job, getting us there safely. He was also pretty knowledgeable and provided a great drive through the park - we got to see loads of animals (from vultures to lions and elephants).
Thank you again for a wonderful experience!

Great safari value
If you're looking for a good value safari, try a Back of Africa camping safari. Our family of five enjoyed a private four-day safari in Tanzania where we saw the Big 5 and so much more. Prior to the trip, I communicated with Allan, the owner, via email and always received a prompt, detailed response. The trip itself was well organized and went smoothly. Our driver/guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. He did a great job spotting a wide variety of animals and made sure we were informed in advance about plans for the next day. The safari vehicles are an older model and the campgrounds have basic accomodations. Set your expectations there and you won't be disappointed. The game drives, however, are spectacular. We have lots of postcard worthy pictures and great memories. If you want to do Africa on a budget and are willing to camp, I highly recommend Back of Africa for a camping safari.
