Fantastic Zambian Adventure

We stayed at Kakuli Bush Camp in South Luangwa for 4 nights. A wonderful camp with terrific staff. Saw many great animal sightings. Spent 4 nights at Chongwe River Camp a picturesque location with a variety of safari options. Canoeing a highlight.

We have used Safari Consultants for our 3 trips to Africa. Rob Slater has always given great advice and provided wonderful itineraries for our African trips. Communication has always been quick and thorough.

wonderful introduction to Africa

We had a wonderful first visit to Africa/first safari in Zambia, staying in the South Luangwa (Tafika and Kaingo), the Lower Zambezi (Anabezi) and Upper Zambezi (Waterberry). All arrangements and transfers worked perfectly and the camps made us very welcome with comfortable accommodation and good food. Game drives were excellent with experienced, knowledgeable guides.

All arrangements and transfers worked perfectly and the camps made us very welcome with comfortable accommodation and good food. Game drives were excellent with experienced, knowledgeable guides. Flights in small aircraft and a canoe crossing to the Kaingo camp added to the fun. The quality of the game viewing was excellent, though not in huge numbers. We rarely encountered other vehicles during the game drives which was a big plus.

Helpful, knowledgeable, enthusiastic consultant; excellent administration and communication.

Kenyan Safari followed by relaxation on the beach

This was an excellent holiday from start to finish. The information we were provided with and the professionalism we encountered whilst there was second to none. Ol Seki Hemmingways was perfect, from the guides to the camp staff and service, they could not be faulted. The Pinewood beach resort was a nice, quiet venue which gave us the opportunity to relax. Again a very friendly staff with a good level of service, a lovely way to chill after ...

We never had to ask for anything as it was all provided for us before we even knew we needed it. The information provided in advance meant we were fully aware of everything that we needed and what was going to happen when. The service provided whilst we were away meant that we were never left waiting or wanting for anything. Excellent in every way.

Amazing Zambian safari

We spent 19 days in Zambia, staying at 4 different lodges - Bilimungwe, Kaingo, Amanzi and Busanga. All were fantastic with great staff and superb guiding. All transfer arrangements worked seamlessly.

I had promised my two grandsons and their parents a holiday they would never forget. The trip to Ol Seki Hemingways camp in the Mara followed by a week on the coast at Kinondo Kwetu simply exceeded my expectations. The quality of the guiding coupled with the quality service from all of the staff was first class. The amount of animals was beyond our expectations and to witness wildlife including lions at the kill feeding was both exciting, educational and not as grisly as the imagination might allow! i would recommend these facilities to anyone and furthermore i would acknowledge that Safari Consultants listened to our hopes and aspirations and delivered on their itinerary.

First class and attention to detail. Communication at all times was much appreciated.

Experience of a lifetime

Everything very well organised & smooth. Two fantastic camps, extremely friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble, even returning some stuff we left behind in one camp to the airport for us to pick up on departure. The wildlife was incredible, everything we had hoped for and much, much more. Truly, the experience of a lifetime.

Zambia, Namibia & Botswana

We had an amazing time starting off at Waterberry Lodge in Zambia, from where we visited the spectacular Victoria Falls. We then transferred to the Chobe Princess a houseboat on the Chobe River in Namibia. We spent 2 nights on the hosuseboat before transferring by plane to Selinda Explorers camp in Botswana. After 3 nights there we transferred again by plane to Footsteps Across the Delta camp again in Botswana where we spent an amazing 3 nights ...

After 3 nights there we transferred again by plane to Footsteps Across the Delta camp again in Botswana where we spent an amazing 3 nights as the only guests in the camp. A final transfer by plane to Kanana camp for our final 3 nights. A truly amazing experience with fantastic camps, hospitality and wildlife.

Safari Consultants put together our trip based on what they knew we liked to do. The places we stayed and the experiences we had were spot on.

Another two weeks in paradise

Two weeks in Zambia visiting the Lower Zambezi National Park and South Luangwa National Park. Accommodation and service at three camps (Old Mondoro , Mwamba and Kaingo) well up to the standard we have come to expect from Safari Consultants. As well as excellent camps the game viewing was very good ,I don't think Safari Consultants can claim responsibility for this though the quality of the guiding in the camps they booked ensured we got ...

Rating for tour operator:

As with previous trips, Safari Consultants proposed an outline itinerary for the holiday. We were able to look at & discuss in detail the suggestions, & made amendments where necessary. All accomodation & excursions were pre-booked, so we merely had to present a voucher. Very detailed summary provided pre-departure, & holiday passed exactly as planned. Found the company amenable & easy to deal with, with good attention to detail.
