Our African Safari Reviews

My wife and I booked a 10 day Safari trip from in Southern Africa for our honeymoon. Every detail of the trip was lovely and ran smoothly. Our accommodations were excellent and we felt very spoilt in the best way possible. I am one to normally book all details of a trip myself but in this case having a specialized travel agent makes all the difference. I never would have been able to book such an amazing and smooth trip on my own. A must go to for booking a Safari Holiday.

Claire organised a trip of a lifetime! The experience of Africa is one Iโ€™ll never forget. Claire made sure she understood our requirements and took the time to quote different options which were thorough. Once we decided she organised everything and took the hassle away from doing it yourself. If anyone knows Africa itโ€™s Claire! The whole trip was seamless and easy from airport transfers, accommodation to safari camps and the flights in between. We started in Zimbabwe Vic Falls and finished in the Okavango Delta. It was a well thought out trip with a range of everything from popular game drives with expert rangers, mokoro trips and options to do boat cruises. We got to see everything we dreamed of and more. I would highly recommend using Claire for any Safari bookings ๐Ÿ™‚

Our safari was even better than we hoped! We had an amazing 12 days in Kenya. Everything was amazingly organised from start to finish. The camps were incredibly comfortable and the wildlife so much better than we expected. We were amazed how close we got and the variety of animals that we saw. Claire’s expertise was so hugely appreciated. We really didn’t know where to start, and her advice was invaluable. Totally recommend!

Can highly recommend Claire and her team. We got great advice about the trip and had a fabulous time on the 22 day Transkalahari Adventure. Also the African Safaris website is excellent. Would definitely plan another African trip with this company.

Our safari adventure is over and we have had the most marvellous time. From the moment we landed in Victoria Falls Claireโ€™s expertise in safari organisation kicked in and was faultless. It was the most amazing travel experience of our lives. The animals, the people, the scenery, the food, the quality of the guides, the standard of the camps we stayed in – particularly Kanana Camp – all contributed to an outstanding experience. Being accommodated within a concession area made a huge difference to the experience. It was a big bucket list ticket for the 4 of us. Claire – we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your guidance, for your African knowledge, your connections and all the helpful information you have compiled and shared with us as travellers.

Claire at African Safaris arranged a comprehensive itinerary for our group of two couples after thoroughly researching our expectations. Accommodation included Lodges, Mobile Safari, a houseboat on The Chobe River and a hotel, the latter in Vic Falls. Our main destination was Botswana where our expert guides ensured that we saw a multitude of game including lions, cheetah, leopards, hippo, elephants, giraffe, birds etc. We used Mack Air for internal flights and the various elements flowed seamlessly together.

Our safari in Kenya was simply amazing! Claire listened to what we wanted and her experience and organisation contributed to a trip that exceeded our expectations in all ways. An African safari has been a dream since early adulthood and ended up being a life-changing experience. We highly recommend African Safaris to anyone who is thinking of doing a safari.

Incredible experience thanks to the impeccable organization from Claire. Every flight, accommodation, pick ups, drop offs were always on time. Would highly recommend, especially the Porini Camps which are small and intimate. Beautiful Kenyan people made it so special. Don’t forget to add on a few nights at Chale Island on the coast, paradise.

Recently my wife and I went on a Safari in Kenya with African Safaris Ltd. What a great trip we had, total well organised with fantastic hosts in the camps and brilliant guides while out looking at animals. We also saw all the top key animals and enjoyed the wonderful scenery of Kenya. We felt totally secure while on safari and also with the Kenyan Masi people. We can recommend this to trip to anyone – Nick & Felicia

Popular African Safaris and Tours



African Safari Experiences


  • 2-3 Star Accommodation

    Our 2 to 3 star accommodated safaris and tours use comfortable accommodation that is booked on a twin share basis. The majority of rooms have en-suite bathrooms and very occasionally they will have shared ablutions. All linen and bedding is provided.
  • 3-4 Star Accommodation

    Our 3 to 4 star accommodated safaris and tours use a variety of ย value-for-money accommodation.ย  Accommodation varies from chalets, bungalows, traditional huts, permanent tents and hotels, all with private en-suite facilities and comfortable beds to ensure youโ€™re re-charged and ready to go for the following days adventure!
  • Adventure Camping

    Adventure camping requires participation. Your guide and assistant do all the meal preparation, however, we ask guests to help (on rotation) with the washing up.ย  You will also need to assist with putting up your tent and packing the vehicle.ย  There are some long travel days which means early morning starts, so we all need to get involved to make the day run efficiently.
  • Placeholder image

    Whether you are travelling as a single person, a couple, honeymooners, group or family; we are able to advise on which areas and which properties and experiences are right for you.
  • Beach Holiday

    If you’re looking for sun-soaked African beach holiday beneath a cloudless sky, then head to the east coast of Africa where the Indian Ocean meets Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique along with their tropical islands.
  • Daily Departures

    We have a wide range of African safaris and tours that can depart on any day/date throughout the year, subject to availability of accommodation.
  • Family Safaris in Africa

    When it comes to a family holiday, an African safari is an enriching and exciting experience. As a company, we recommend your children are at least 10 years old so that everyone can enjoy and get the most out of this amazing experience. Most family-friendly camps/lodges have family tents/rooms, meaning you can all be under the same roof.ย  Child rates are often applicable but does depend on the age of your children.
  • Fully Assisted Camping (en-suite)

    Fully Assisted Camping (en-suite) is the modern-day version of the โ€˜traditionalโ€™ safari – like the gentleman explorers Baker, Stanley and Baines. Today, the ox-wagons and bearers have been replaced with custom-made 4WD safari vehicles, a professional guide, chef, waiter and support crew.
  • Fully Assisted Camping (non en-suite)

    Fully Assisted Camping (non-ensuite) means you will not have to lift a finger as we take care of all camping chores: cooking, cleaning, pitching and packing tents.ย  You have a 3-man crew of experienced safari staff (including a cook) who are dedicated to making your trip memorable and rewarding.
  • Gorilla Trekking

    Trekking through the African rainforest to see the majestic mountain gorillas in their natural habitat is one of the most breathtaking, mesmerizing, and unforgettable experiences one can have.ย  With a population of just 880 individuals, mountain gorillas are one of the most endangered animals in the world.
  • Hosted Safaris

    We offer a couple of safaris each year that are hosted by either Claire and Tracy, along withย highly qualifiedย local guides. ย Both Claire and Tracy have tremendous experience in Africa, collectively spending between 2 and 3 months on the continent.
  • Lodge and Fully Assisted Camping

    These safaris combine Fully Assisted Camping (en-suite) with lodges and/or tented camps.ย  These combination itineraries combine the authentic under canvas feel with a lodge/tented camp experience – giving you the best of both words on safari!
  • Lodges and Tented Camps

    Safari lodges are permanent accommodation built out of stone, wood, thatch, bricks, mortar or a combination of all.ย  Tented Camps are generally considered the best for a true safari experience. All lodges and tented camps feature real beds and private, en-suite bathroom facilities.
  • Mount Kilimanjaro

    Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain on the African continent, stands 330 kilometres south of the equator, on the northern boundary of Tanzania. Its location, on an open plain close to the Indian Ocean, and its great size and height strongly influence the climbing conditions.
  • Scheduled Departures

    We have a wide range of African safaris and tours with set departure dates to cater for guests wanting to travel in small groups. Your guide travels with you for the duration of the safari or tour, with the advantage of enjoying the company of a group of like-minded people for the whole safari, sharing an adventure that is often the basis for lasting friendships.
  • Walking Safaris

    There are numerous options of walking safaris in Africa, offering varying terrains.ย  A walking safari generally consists of walks 2+ hours in duration, and so it is suitable for any adventurous traveller.
