Experiences

Explore our African travel experiences

African travel is changing. Traditionally, itineraries were country-based but thanks to improved logistics and accommodation, travellers to Africa are now basing their plans on the experience they want. It could be sitting down with a family of mountain gorillas in a rainforest clearing or sitting down to a silver service dinner on the world’s most luxurious train.

We believe our experiences are Africa’s most iconic and we’ve taken care to select the best tours and accommodation to match your expectations. Gorilla trekking and walking safaris with expert professional guides; lodges that lie on the path of the wildebeest migration; and honeymoon hideaways set on private islands.

African travel experiences can also span several countries, adding different elements of landscape and culture. Romantic journeys combine the sights of Cape Town and Victoria Falls with Big 5 game viewing in the Kruger. Why not book a honeymoon that combines the big game of Zambia with the unfettered friendliness of Lake Malawi? Gorilla trekking can be enjoyed in Rwanda or Uganda – or both, while you can get on board a luxury train in Cape Town and get off in Dar es Salaam, ready for a holiday on Zanzibar.

Reviews

Walter has always been an excellent communicator and has supported us fully

We have been to Africa for 24 of the last 27 years so know a bit about what is involved. Walter has arranged the details for the last couple of years, and has done a superb job. He is always quick to respond and comes up with answers immediately……..no evasive tactics, always head-on!

An incredibly well organised tour with no hassles whatsoever.

Safari Online understood our needs and was able to present us with sensible options to choose from. It was evident that this tour operator has knowledgable and experienced agents who can arrange a seemless tour. We were provided with a professional online itinary which was comprehensive and easy to use, knew exactely what to expect, and encountered no stumble blocks along the way.

It was a safari of a lifetime and exceeded all of our expectations!

Our mom grew up in Central and South Africa so we had visited the continent many times. My sister and I wanted to take our teens and husbands to Africa to experience the magic. We had a limited budget but big and specific expectations and by some miracle Walter was able to manage both.

Best trip I have ever been on. Highly recommend.

Would highly recommend. Safari online asked questions when booking and were efficient and knew exactly what we were looking for in terms of accommodation and animals were wanted to see. Gave advice on a few little extras with no pressure, which we did and am very grateful which make trip even more exciting. Would definitely recommend booking with them.

Safari Online were extremely efficient and absolutely charming to work with.

Our 28-day itinerary took us to South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. A magnificent and unforgettable adventure. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently from the flights, transfers, rides, connections, etc. Absolutely wonderful! Can’t thank them enough!

Professional, quick and top of the edge service!!!

From the very first contact we’re very happy about the respond time and quality of information from safari-online.com. Based on the received first tailor-made quote, which is a weblink with all the details about the flights, photos of the lodges etc. we knew that this is “our” partner for this trip. Our expectations were excelled!!!

Karina was absolutely instrumental to our safari success.

Our experience with Safari Online was excellent. After becoming very frustrated trying to search for a safari destination on our own, we turned to Karina for help and she was a lifesaver.  We had an amazing safari adventure at the lodge–the experience of a lifetime–and are so grateful for her help. We literally couldn’t have done it without her!
