Customer Reviews

We have returned from our Safari in Uganda and Kenya with nothing but great experiences and memories. The organisation and planning of all the details was flawless. From your first contact with me to the final details, everything was so easy and quickly done. During our trip, every detail, every transfer, every connection was Perfect! It was such a relief knowing that we never had to worry about the next day of travel. So again, “THANK YOU” !!

I have arrived back from my Southern African holiday……a customised trip organised by The Africa Safari Co., a trip through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana and into Namibia.

Everything worked like clockwork, a true testament to The Africa Safari Co. and their contacts, and their knowledge of Africa. Every guide was there on time, and highly visible, to greet me at the many meeting points throughout the journey. Every booking accurately made, and a well documented itinerary. The itinerary selected by them was varied, engaging, and full of the excitement and mystery promised in all the stories, movies, books and fantasies we all have as children, while growing up, and as adults.

Thank you The Africa Safari Co. …… a truly memorable time.

My first time to Africa and The Africa Safari Co did not disappoint! I explored Namibia and the staff on the ground there, the transport, accommodation & activities were all exceptional! If you are considering an African adventure most definitely use The Africa Safari Co!

We spent 3 weeks in Africa, and 2 of those were travelling with The Africxa Safari Co. We started with 3 days in South Africa. Picked up at the airport on time, taken to our accommodation. Spent the next two days being shown around with a wonderful guide. Off we went then to Botswana, for another 3 days. We stayed at Kasane at the Bakwena Lodge. OMG this place is AMAZING! We saw all of the big 5 other than rhinos, within the first two days! We then went to Victoria Falls and yet again we were blessed with great accommodation and I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this company!

We have just returned from a wonderful safari in Kenya. The organisation of the tour by The Africa Safari Co. meant that nothing was left to chance and all we had to do was enjoy our holiday. Thankyou The Africa Safari Co.

I have travelled twice with The Africa Safari Co. The first in 2015 when we went to Uganda Gorilla & Chimp Trekking and again in 2017 to Tanzania & Kenya. With 25 years experience in Africa their product knowledge is amazing and the staff really know their stuff. When putting itineraries together they offer great suggestions to work within time and budget restrictions. The local ground operators have been fantastic, very friendly with a great knowledge of the game and areas we travelled. If you are looking for an amazing Africa experience don’t look any further than The Africa Safari Co.

I just wanted to let you know, George and Ana have returned from their honeymoon, and they said it was everything they hoped for and more!

They were so happy with everything, and I’d like to thank you and Susie for all your recommendations and expertise in putting this together.

Your documentation was also the best of any I’ve ever received.

So a big thank you and I look forward to putting my next Africa booking with you!

Tailor-Made Tours & Safaris

From the signature savannahs of East Africa teeming with plains game, marvellous landmarks of ancient civilisations, tropical white sand beaches along the warm Indian Ocean, endless deserts with sand dunes burning red at sunrise, lush rainforests echoing with the calls of birds and primates, vibrant cities alive with a colourful melting pot of cultures – there is nowhere else on the planet with such incredible natural beauty and rich cultural traditions as Africa. Whether you join a  scheduled tour  or discover your own Africa on a  tailor-made trip , a visit to this magical continent is guaranteed to take your breath away.

So many of the world’s great beasts call Africa home so a trip to Africa is not complete without a photographic wildlife safari. Embark on a spectacular African Safari to search for the well-known “Big 5” — the lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo — which were originally grouped together for being the most difficult to hunt but are now simply thrilling to watch in their natural habitat. However, there are hundreds of other animal and bird species to encounter in Africa, each playing an important role in its local ecosystem.

Don’t forget to tick off the “Ugly 5” – the warthog, hyena, vulture, wildebeest and Marabou Stork. Or the “Little 5” who are named in contradiction to their Big counterparts and encourage safari goers to look at the smaller species present in the African wilderness – the ant lion, leopard tortoise, elephant shrew, rhino beetle, and buffalo weaver. And if you’re very lucky you may see an elusive member of the “Shy 5” – the porcupine, bat-eared fox, aardvark, meerkat, and aardwolf. Witnessing exotic wildlife up close and personal in their natural habitat on a true African Safari is the experience of a lifetime!

Contact Eclipse Travel today to plan your perfect African Tour. We’ll tailor your holiday experience according to your preferences, time, and budget to take you on a holiday you’ll never forget.

What people love about African Safaris

A bit late with the review... The trip was November 2019 and it was the best trip ever!!! Simon best guide, stunning places, welcoming locals and amazing experiences! the flight over the Okavango Delta is highly recommended.

My 6 day safari with Bon Voyage Safaris to Maasai Mara and Serengeti was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The professionalism, expertise, and passion displayed by the staff, coupled with the breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife, made it an experience beyond compare. I highly recommend Bon Voyage Safaris to anyone seeking an unforgettable safari experience in East Africa.

Safari was a great time with Serengeti African Tours, The safari was wonderful, we slept in cabins and tent. Food was very delicious and our guide Kelvin was amazing he had alot of knowledge of wild animals and general knowledge... Highly recommend Serengeti African Tours

We loved it all. Our son wants to go back tomorrow. We would ALL go back again!

Very knowledgeable and patient. Our trip was all that we hoped for. Wonderful!

Everything was perfect! Advice and information on destinations and activities hit everything I had hoped to experience. I contacted the Classic Safari Company upon recommendation and have now, in turn, recommended to others.

You can't improve on perfection. I had my best birthday and holiday with my family celebrating my 80th birthday in Africa. Everything that Julia organised was perfect and the whole trip was a highlight!

The trip of a lifetime, couldn't have dreamt of a better adventure if I tried.

Absolutely everything was first class & so well organised.

Africa Tours & Holidays

Souqs, savannas, safaris and the Sahara – the lure of Africa is its diverse wildlife, thousands of cultures and breathtaking landscapes.

Originally meaning ‘to travel’ in Arabic and Swahili, the word ‘safari’ can describe many types of epic adventure in Africa. There’s the ancient Egypt kind – discovering the lost city of Abu Simbel and the Valley of the Kings. The nomadic one – veering away from Morocco’s souqs and medinas and being hosted by a Berber family in the Sahara. The local village version – cherishing moments of interaction with Maasai , San and Malagasy cultures. And, of course, the wildlife way – heading in search of the Big Five in any number of game reserves and parks: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Kruger and Lake Nakuru, to name a few. What does your African adventure look like?

African Safari Packages from Australia

Typically there are two types of African Safari Packages from Australia to choose from either Escorted Tours or Tailor made Independent Tours. With so much choice in today’s market here is an overview to help you decide which is right for you.

Guided Tours

Set dates and numbers of guests:.

African Wildlife Safari Tours depart on scheduled departure dates and have a minimum and maximum number of guests per tour. Look out for guaranteed departure dates as these are a great bonus if you have a tight schedule booking in advance and pre and post arrangements of the African Wildlife Safari Tour. Departures that are not guaranteed maybe cancelled due to lack of bookings and you will be offered alternative dates or itinerary which may cause disruption and expense to your plans.

African Safari Packages are priced accordingly to the season, inclusions are stated and a variety of standards catering for all budgets. The peak seasons is governed by the highest demand due to annual summer and school holiday vacation times, local festivals, movement of wildlife and weather. Less departures are scheduled in the low season though it offers great value for money. During the low season your experiences and choice maybe limited due to the weather, access and wildlife movement. For example the movement of the Great Serengeti Migration, road access during the green in the South Luangwa National Park Zambia and the rainy season for Mountain Gorilla Trekking.

Detailed itinerary on hand:

The African Safari Package itineraries are pre-booked by the operators and have detailed day to day itineraries available online and hard copy making it easy to read up on the highlights of the places to experience, inclusions, departures and cost.

Friendship and support:

Escorted Tours offer travellers friendship and support while travelling in foreign countries and are a popular choice for solo travellers seeking adventure with like minded people. Many tour operators including Abercrombie & Kent offer solo travellers no single supplement on some departures of their African Safari Packages.

Not flexible:

The itinerary is not flexible due to being pre-booked including departure times from accommodation, set times for meals, often 1 -2 night stays in each location and limited free time to immerse yourself with the local communities.

Early bird booking discounts often apply to African Wildlife Safari Tours

Exclusive access:

High end tour operators including Tauck Tours and Abercrombie & Kent often arrange exclusive access to major sights and performances for their guests

Larger camps and lodges:

Escorted Tours generally have 18 – 25 passengers and due to demand of rooms required the camps and lodges are larger and breakfast and lunch are often buffets. Intimate boutique camps have only 4 -5 tents and not able to accommodate larger groups.

Covering the cost of the Tour Escort:

Generally African Wildlife Safari Group Tours will have a Tour Escort in addition to the local guide/driver. The Escort is there to deliver a stress free adventure for travellers and their travel expenses are covered for by the passengers on the tour.

Tailor Made and Independent Packages

Each individual traveller has specific needs and visions for their African Safari Package and a tailor made package gives you the freedom to plan an authentic and personal African Adventure.

Value for Money:

Tailor made African Safari Tours offer value for money by staying within budget and having the flexibility to vary the styles and standards of camps and lodges. For example you have dreamt of sleeping in a tent in the African Wilderness and waking to the sounds of a lion roaring, a hippo munching on grass and experiencing remote wilderness

Ecotourism African Travel Experiences:

Ecotourism in Africa offers travellers the opportunity to directly contribute to the protection of the African wildlife, wilderness and local communities. Operators who are exceeding at delivering this generally are smaller and give guests a private personal experience.

Personal pace:

Travelling alone or with family and friends we all have individual needs and vision of this African Safari Adventure. Some love early starts and some love to sleep in, photographers sit for hours at a African Wildlife sighting waiting for the perfect image, others happy to point and click with their IPhone, the kids want to have an afternoon off have a swim and some us just want to head back early and enjoy the sun set in camp. All is flexible when designing your Tailor Made African Safari Package with your travel advisor.

Independent Stay in small camps:

Private driver and vehicles, fast track through immigration, hand held all the way if you prefer, restaurant recommendations and others like the adventure of a self-drive with choice of a hire a car or 4×4 safari vehicle.

Your personal guide and drive:

Subject to the style of African Safari independent tour organised you are able to have a private guide and driver for the duration and choose to fly between camps. They cater exceptionally well for multi-generational families, celebrations, photographers, honeymoons and travellers who like to learn about Ecotourism in Africa and contributing to local communities. Africa offers are stunning range of private homes and villas fully staffed or self-catering.

Disabled and dietary requirements:

Your travel advisor will hand pick the suitable accommodation that caters for a range of disabilities, flexible meal times, dietary requirements including anaphylactic, shorter safaris, diverse activities and suitable vehicles.

In summary…..

You will have a vision for your African Safari Tour experience and it is highly highly recommended to design your African Wildlife Safari with a professional, experienced and knowledgeable Travel Adviser who will deliver an authentic, meaningful and value for money African Safari Package Adventure.

Incredible wildlife, stunning landscapes & ancient cultures

Witness the circle of life in action with our safari travel experiences. We’ll take you deep into the animal kingdoms of the world, from the red deserts of Namibia to the jungles of Northern India.

See the world’s greatest animals

From spotting the Big Five of Africa to the big cats of Asia, a wildlife holiday is one of the world’s most thrilling experiences. Our Local Specialists will take you from the leaping wildebeest of the Serengeti and the giant elephants of Botswana, to the white rhinos of Namibia and the lions and leopards of Zambia. Venture east to India, and you’ll encounter hyenas, bears and the mighty Bengal tiger.

Explore spectacular landscapes

You’ll go on safari in some of the most beautiful places on earth with our safari tours. See the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, the world’s largest waterfall, or Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the highest peak in Africa. Explore the dense forests of Ranthambore in India, the rolling mountains of South Africa, and the blazing dunes of the Kalahari Desert in Namibia.

Connect with ancient cultures

Go beyond the wildlife and landscapes to discover the cultures of the places we go. On our safari trips you'll connect with the culture like visiting a Swazi Chief’s village in eSwatini, or meeting the Maasai warriors of Kenya and watching a powerful jumping display. Learn how to drum and speak Xhosa in South Africa, or meet the OvaHimba tribe in Namibia and gain insight into their ancient hunter-gatherer traditions.

All you need to know about Safari Tours

Are african safaris dangerous.

Every African safari trip has an element of danger, but it’s easy to stay safe if you follow the basic safari rules. Always keep your entire body in the vehicle, don’t make any loud noise, turn off your camera flash, don’t walk around at night alone, wear boots and socks in the bush, and always listen to your safari guide.

Is Safari better in Kenya or Tanzania?

Both Kenya and Tanzania are excellent destinations for your African safari travel experience, as both are home to the Big Five and the Great Migration. While Kenya is known as a superb place to see big cats, black rhinos and exotic animals like the sitatunga, Tanzania has the world's largest concentration of animals, including the largest concentration of cheetahs and unique animals like tree-climbing lions and African wild dogs.

What is the best month to go on an African safari?

The best time to go on an African safari tour varies between the different seasons of East and Southern Africa. Generally, the best months to go are the dry season months of June to October. During this time, animals migrate and are easier to spot as they gather around the few remaining water sources.

What is the best place to go on safari?

The best places to go on a safari holiday are Kenya and Tanzania where you can see the Big Five and the Great Migration. You can also spot the Big Five and other incredible wildlife in South Africa and Zambia. We love going on water safaris in Botswana, seeing desert-adapted wildlife in Namibia and spotting tigers in India.
