An unforgettable experience organised by an amazing team
5/5

So happy we chose Safari365 to organise our trip. I sent a list of things we wanted to do and left it upto them to put it all together. We wanted to fit in as much as we could in the available time we had and Charles at Safari365 put together the most amazing itinerary for us and we were able to do all we wanted to do, including, a stay at Gold Reef Casino and theme park in Johannesburg. Cruising the beautiful Chobe River on the Chobe Princess, a stay at the stunning Camp Kazuma in Botswana where we were welcomed like friends, a magical few nights at Victoria Falls complete with extended helicopter ride, zip lining and an unforgettable high tea on Livingstone Island. Followed up with an extraordinary Gorilla Treck in Uganda, and finishing with some time in the stunningly beautiful Cape Town, including an ocean safari and paragliding
We did have some cancelled flights midway through our trip that could have ruined it but Charles somehow managed to fix it all for us when the airline would do nothing to help us.
We are now looking at going back and will not hesitate to leave it to Safari365 to organise it all for us again

Reliable company to use for tours and safaris in South Africa
5/5

We found the company through the internet as there was a contact number in Australia. Cearl was our first contact from the company. She was very prompt, informative and friendly. She created the package according to our needs. Then Trevor provided us with details of our tour and vouchers, 3 weeks prior to departure. We are extremely happy with our experience with the company.

Incredible Cape Town & Wine Country Vacation Created by Charles Howie/ Safari 365
5/5

In a world where many prospective travelers are using Instagram and relying on the dubious advice of social media influencers for travel ideas; an environment where superficiality frequently overrides substance, my experience with Charles is the antithesis of that trend. First of all, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and made some valuable suggestions, many of these were places that despite being an knowledgeable world traveler, I couldn't have come up with myself scouring the web. A long time resident of the Cape area, his deep knowledge of the area, much based on personal experience, was very helpful in creating an unique vacation. He steered me away from the "mass market tourism" places and created a truly bespoke trip. The Winchester Boutique Hotel in Cape Town he chose was exactly what I was looking for and the Tintswalo Atlantic Hotel in Hout Bay was absolutely breathtaking. He was also a great resource for local restaurants & experiences in Cape Town and wine country. He found me an unique, beautiful cottage on a vineyard in Franschhoek. I absolutely loved the area and enjoyed visiting the wineries. Two thumbs up for steering me to Franschhoek over Stellenbosch .. where most people would typically go. The final destination he directed me to was the Cederberg wilderness area, a place which I never knew about. The Cederberg Simbavati Lodge he picked was a really unique facility, from the breathtaking scenery, to the tours/hikes offered to the custom meals and high touch service. All travel arrangements he made, such as domestic air travel, transfers etc. were flawless. It really helped my peace of mind and allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. This is the second time I have worked with Charles Howie, the previous trip one was to the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Charles is responsive, proactive and I really enjoy working with him.

Exceptional from Start to Finish – Safari 365 Delivered Our Dream Trip
5/5

When we engaged Safari 365 for our bucket-list adventure to celebrate my husband’s 60th, we were understandably a little nervous, not knowing what to expect. Our itinerary included Johannesburg, Capetown, Victoria Falls and safari in Kruger and Namibia.
From our very first phone call to the final moments of our trip, Andrew and Frederik from Safari 365 were absolutely outstanding. Andrew was incredibly easy to talk to, always accommodating, and made himself available whenever we needed — nothing ever felt like too much trouble. He crafted a flawless itinerary with meticulous planning, and everything flowed seamlessly.

What truly set them apart was the way they cared for us as people, not just clients. When we accidentally left our travel pillows behind in Namibia we were amazed to have them delivered to our hotel in Victoria Falls the very next day.

When we were unexpectedly held up on the road on our way to the airport, Frederik personally called to reassure us and ensured everything was handled so we made our flight back home on time. That level of support, right to the very end, was outstanding.

As with any trip, there were a few transport hiccups, but they were handled quickly and professionally.That’s the true mark of great service. We felt genuinely looked after and in safe hands throughout our entire African journey.

Africa truly exceeded our expectations, we absolutely loved every bit of our trip. And to top it all Safari 365 - and especially Andrew and Frederik - exceeded our expectations in every way!

Absolutely incredible, exceeded our already high expectations!
5/5

We could not possibly be more impressed with Safari 365 starting from back in February 2025 when we first contacted the company all the way through pre-travel planning, arrival (December), in country assistance and support. Kim Henry was the first person we worked with, she was so incredibly knowledgeable, patient and responsive, answered all of our questions, changed the itinerary multiple times at our request and we ended up with an itinerary that was exactly what we were looking for. Kim then passed us onto Trevor Stoutz, concierge, who assured us that he would be guiding us through the pre-arrival requirements. He did so brilliantly, we received all of our travel vouchers in a timely fashion, he explained everything that was required of us, including appropriate documentation, recommendations for cash/tipping, etc. Late into our pre-planning, we needed to change travel plans by moving our dates a few days, Trevor coordinated this with us seamlessly. Upon arrival in Africa on December 26, Trevor was on a well earned Christmas vacation and we were taken care of by his colleague Stephanie Benjamin who was equally as impressive, supportive and helpful. We had a couple of glitches with our hotel on arrival, she was responsive immediately via “WhatsApp“, contacted the hotel and took care of the problem. She also helped us negotiate a very late checkout on the end of our trip as our flight out of country didn’t leave until 10 PM. Very helpful. With regards to the entire time in Africa, every accommodation was phenomenal. Hotel transfers to airports were seamless. In country flights were on time, comfortable. Our Safari experience at Simbavati river Lodge was the absolute gem of the trip, however. From the minute, we were picked up at the airport, we knew we had made the right decision. The lodge itself is so luxurious yet not ostentatious, the food is impeccable delicious and plentiful. The service is quite impressive. We felt so well cared for the entire time we were there. As advertised, we took two Safari outings a day, we were blown away by the sheer beauty of the area. We saw the “big five“ many times over, absolutely spectacular. Highly highly recommend this company and all the people that work for it. We loved it so much. absolutely worth every penny we spent. It was so nice to essentially get there and not have to worry about a single thing. Special shout out to our incredible guides, Happy and Nickel. They went above and beyond to make our Safari experience everything we wanted it to be, we feel sure we actually had the best guides! Also, shout out to Bishop, who took care of everything we needed at the lodge. And, also, shout out to the whole staff in general, truly a class act.

Engaged, and willing to work with the client to create the most amazing experience.
5/5

We’ve just returned from the most unforgettable adventure in Tanzania, our very first trip to Africa, beautifully organised by Safari365. From the moment we booked, everything was taken care of. Every transfer, every lodge, every detail was seamlessly arranged, allowing us to simply soak up the experience without having to think about a thing.
Our journey took us through Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, each destination offering its own unique magic. With an exceptionally knowledgeable guide leading the way, every day felt like stepping into a nature documentary.
Lake Manyara set the tone from day one. We weren’t sure what to expect, but the sheer number of animals living so peacefully together left us absolutely amazed.
The Ngorongoro Crater exceeded every expectation we had. The colours, the vibrancy, the birdlife, every moment felt surreal. Enjoying a coffee from a pop‑up cart while taking in the scenery was a delight in itself. Watching lions lounging close to our jeep, elephants grazing as we ate lunch in the picnic area, and spotting elusive rhinos made this day truly extraordinary.
Then came the Serengeti, the legendary “endless plains” that brought all our Lion King dreams to life. Crossing from Ngorongoro into the Serengeti just in time to witness part of the Great Migration is something we’ll never forget. The wildlife sightings over our three days there were beyond anything we imagined. And hearing lions roaring outside our tents on the first night… that’s a story we’ll be telling for years.
To round off our adventure, we flew out of the Serengeti (highly recommend!) and spent a few blissful days unwinding in Zanzibar before heading home.

This was a wonderful Namibia Experience!
5/5

We were both very impressed by the presentation of the destination country and the company's use of the internet and a App to show us where we were going. Their responsiveness to queries was excellent and the plan of the trip (although probably taking pretty orthodox routes) was superb. We were very happy with our local guide in Namibia and the comfort of the transport. We opted for a guided tour and would consider that this was the best decision as it allowed us to look out of the windows rather than to focus on the road. We also crossed a solo driver with mechanical problems which underlined the benefits of an experienced guide. Given the individual service, and the flight from Mushara Bush Campt to Windhoek the value for money was excellent. It's difficult to choose a tour operator at a distance but this company did not disappoint.
