NO. 1 FOR SAFARI IN THE SUNDAY TIMES TRAVEL MAGAZINE

“Why it’s top: The firm’s knowledge – of hundreds of camps in 12 countries – is extraordinary, gained through thousands of hours spent exploring the continent. Ask directors Michele and Rob where to see wild dogs, for example, and not only will they tell you the prime spots, but they’ll name the very best guides for the species”.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

Hi Joe, just wanted to send a note to say a huge thank you for arranging such a great itinerary for our holiday to Zambia. We had a fantastic time. Waterberry was nice and relaxing before flying out to the South Luangwa. Each of the Bush Camps had its own special character and loved the night drives which meant being able to get sightings of different animals. Then again a different area when we went to stay at Kaingo which was a wonderful camp with a plethora of leopards!! I felt we have done so many things including sleeping on the Elephant Star bed which was brilliant. Everything worked like clockwork. Once again thanks so much and we’ll look forward to Kenya in January.

Shelagh and David from London travelled to Zambia

September 2022

Dear Mary, I meant to write to say thank you. Everything was beyond lovely and we had the perfect holiday thanks to you! I have already recommended you all to a client of mine.

Taylor and Matthew from North Carolina travelled to South Africa and Zambia

May 2023

Hi Michele, another superb safari completed. Lovely camps, both on the banks of their respective rivers. Superb wildlife set against varied landscapes, the birding in South Luangwa was especially good. As for watching a large pack of wild dogs repeatedly hunt for up to two hours at a time in the woodlands and thickets of the Lower Zambezi, amazing. All things permitting, I will return to Zambia and would not consider anyone other than Safari Consultants to deliver me yet another fantastic experience!

Richard from Leicestershire travelled to Zambia

June 2023

Hi Rob! We had an amazing trip, exceeding all expectations and truly a one of a kind experience. All of the travel days were seamless, and the itinerary was perfect. Thank you!

Emma, Ryan, David and Evelyn from Florida travelled to South Africa and Zambia

August 2023

Dear Rob, you certainly hit the jackpot for us with our recent trip to Zambia. Chiawa and Old Mondoro were both exceptional and, as you had surmised, right up our street. As I said, we all had a wonderful experience – and can’t wait to go back there! Thank you so much.

William and Deborah from North Berwick travelled to Zambia

October 2023

Dear Rob, as far as I am concerned, it was the “best ever” trip and that is pretty high praise from people as lucky as us who have seen and done so much over the years and have had such incredible experiences since we have been travelling together. I loved both camps and very much hope to be able to return one day. Thank you so much for helping us to have such a spectacularly good holiday.

Nell from Wiltshire travelled to Zambia

October 2023

Dear Mary, just heading home. Thanks for the excellent arrangements and insightful advice. I had high expectations for the trip and my expectations were exceeded.

Avrim from Ottawa travelled to Zambia

November 2023

Hi Mary, we had a magical time. Thank you so much for the excellent organisation of this trip which we would highly recommend.

Julianne and Pete from London travelled to Zambia and Botswana

August 2024

Dear Mary, We had the best time imaginable. I could talk to you about it for half an hour – if you are ever stuck in the car for a journey and have no other pressing calls, I would love to do so!
We have memories that have made a permanent imprint on our lives and thank you for organising it for us.

Jack and Venetia from Norfolk travelled to Botswana and Zambia

May 2025

Hi Frances, we had a fantastic trip! Everything ran according to plan and the lodges were amazing. We particularly liked Kutali camp as the games drives, the guides and the staff were fantastic in every way! We managed to see everything we could want to, with close sighting of leopards and lions. We also really enjoyed Big Lagoon Camp. It was crazy how many animals you were able to see just from the camp! Thank you again for organising such a special honeymoon!

Jess and George from Kent travelled to Zambia

July 2025

Hello Frances. Well, where do we begin? You arranged a superb holiday for us that exceeded all our expectations. We are so delighted we were able to have this wonderful experience. We are sold on safari holidays! The attention to detail, being personally met at each entry point was such a treat and made for a stress free trip. The highlight was Kambaku Safari Lodge, it was magic. The guide and tracker, Craig and Moses, were fantastic. Their enthusiasm was infectious and we learnt SO much, it was wonderful. The food was delicious with good variety, it was like a feast every day! We managed to see every animal we wanted and so close. Tintswalo was lovely. It was well worth going to see Victoria Falls. We were fortunate that they have had a lot of rain this year so it put on a good show for us. Thank you so much for organising such a great trip for us. Every detail was attended to. We would definitely come back to you without hesitation for another trip and would definitely recommend Safari Consultants. We can’t thank you enough for making our holiday of a lifetime a dream come true.

Hazel and Peter from Surrey travelled to South Africa and Zambia

July 2025

Hi Frances – we absolutely loved the location of Chindeni in front of the waterhole and it felt very wild and in the bush. The camp itself was superb, the rooms and bathrooms were so beautiful and luxurious. I loved its environmental credentials – it was lovely to shower in water heated by the sun, water from a bore-hole and the electricity provided by solar, and food cooked on a small fire (and the lack of wifi was a real bonus). The food was particularly outstanding – as vegetarians we were very thoughtfully catered for. All the flights and transfers were handled brilliantly. Chongwe house was also in an amazing location – the wildlife really was right outside (we saw elephants, leopard, warthog, baboons, impala – right around the house itself!) and the view over the Chongwe River was fantastic. We loved the variety – especially the canoe trip, fishing and boat trip sundowners. Our guides Ronald and Sam were fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable and went out of their way to find amazing wildlife experiences. Overall a brilliant trip and the guides were definitely the strong point and a joy to spend time with. Many thanks again.

Kate and family from London travelled to Zambia

August 2025

What an amazing holiday you arranged for us, thank you, it really couldn’t have been better. The camps were fantastic and the order we visited them perfect, getting gradually more and more remote. We were looked after fabulously by incredibly knowledgeable guides with a fabulous knowledge who managed to show us some amazing sightings – wild dogs, leopard, lions and their cubs – the park was teeming with game and the most beautiful birds, you name it we just about saw it. Tafika was fabulous, we were well looked after, the cottages very comfortable and the food delicious. Mwaleshi was just amazing, the walks were fascinating and nothing other than a black rhino, we couldn’t believe our luck. A fabulous trip, thank you, we have been telling all our friends and family about it.

Katrina, Andrew and family travelled to Zambia

July 2025

Morning Rob, can’t believe we have been home nearly a week now!! We had the most wonderful time, two great camps, lovely people and we saw leopard every day!!!

Well done for all your organising and many thanks.

Peter and Penny from Essex, travelled to Zambia

September 2025

Rob, as we travel from place to place we have an EVEN GREATER appreciation for your expertise and efforts. We know you really curated our trip at the best places!! Bravo

Neal and MJ from Key West travelled to Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia

August 2025

What an amazing trip, thank you so much for putting it together for us. The three camps were exactly what we had hoped for – each different, and each in a different environment, but all 3 were so special. The game viewing was fantastic – our first leopard was literally 5 minutes into South Luangwa, and continued from there… There were so many other highlights it is difficult to recount them all.

James and Caroline from Bristol, travelled to Zambia

October 2025

What a holiday! We’re just starting our return journey so wanted to drop you a note of thanks for arranging such an amazing and memorable trip. The lodges have been superb and the wildlife encounters everything we had hoped for. We leave with so many happy memories… and photos. Thanks so much!

Colin and Linda from Hertfordshire travelled to Zambia

September 2025

Dear Rob, it was a superb holiday and thank you for organising and arranging it and, most of all, for knowing us so well to choose us such great camps that we all loved. Mwamba was particularly outstanding with incredible game viewing, very comfortable accommodation, excellent food and exceptional host/hostess Lester and Val who I really liked and who were clearly excellent at their roles. Our guide was also excellent. We also had a very good walk there seeing a leopard during our walk which was a great privilege. Old Mondoro (which was my favourite place last time) was also great with amazing game viewing and a cacophony of elephants merrily enjoying the creek in front of our “tents”. So, once again a huge thank you to you and your team for a fantastic holiday and I very much look forward to our next adventure in Africa whenever and wherever that might be in the future!

Nell from Wiltshire travelled to Zambia

October 2025

Dear Rob, we had an absolutely amazing time in Zambia thank you. It really is an exceptional country, I remember loving it last time and it was just as engaging on this trip. We saw so much game, of all sorts, in fact the animals this time were probably more spectacular than the birds. I think Mwamba was my favourite camp, although the Lower Zambezi with all the water is so lovely. We were incredibly well looked after in both camps, with great guides, but I found there was something very relaxed & engaging about Mwamba, Lester & Val are an exceptional couple & it comes across in the feel of the camp. The game was extraordinary in both places, there was just so much of it. I know being so dry & close to the rains brings everyone to the water to drink, but all the same, we saw leopards almost every day, the plains were full of impala & zebra which was lovely, the river obviously was packed with hippos in big groups, Old Mondoro had elephants everywhere you looked! The carmine bee-eaters at Mwamba were spectacular. Many thanks indeed for organising such an amazing trip for us all.

Alison from East Sussex travelled with friends to Zambia

October 2025

Hi Rob, as ever, we are extremely grateful to you for “coming up with the goods” once again. You got our trip to Zambia spot on! Seeing a leopard when on foot was a highlight! Thank you again for organising a great trip for us – we can’t wait to go again!!

World Lion Day 🦁

Lions have earned their reputation as fierce predators, but there's another side to them in that they're deeply social. Cubs grow up under the watchful eyes of the whole pride, learning by observation, play and the presence of family - bonds that shape their survival from the very start.

A safari is about so much more than the Big Five.

A safari is about so much more than the Big Five.

Take the impala. They are one of Africa's most common antelope, due to their incredible adaptability. They are both grazers and browsers, switching between grasses and leaves depending on the season, helping them to thrive in a wide range of habitats. Their ability to leap 10 metres in length and nearly 3 metres in height is another factor of their success, helping them to escape predators!

The more time you spend watching the smaller moments, the richer the safari experience becomes…

Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya - "The Smoke That Thunders" - Victoria Falls is one of Africa's most extraordinary natural landmarks.Straddling the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, the falls span almost 1.7 kilometres across the Zambezi River. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Victoria Falls is celebrated for both its remarkable scale and outstanding natural beauty.The character of the falls changes with the seasons, from the immense curtain of water and mist during the high-water months to the exposed basalt cliffs and dramatic rock formations revealed as water levels recede. A network of rainforest trails and viewpoints on both sides of the falls offer spectacular perspectives, while the ever-changing volume of water ensures that no two visits are quite the same.Whether experienced on foot, from the river above the falls, or from the air, Victoria Falls remains one of Africa's most unforgettable destinations.Victoria Falls pairs seamlessly with safaris across Southern and East Africa, providing a spectacular contrast to the safari experience and a memorable way to begin or end a journey through the region.📍 Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe#VictoriaFalls
