The review below is the personal opinion of Aria and not that of SafariBookings.
Good
3/5

We had a great time, both our guides were great! However, we felt there was a lack of communication once we arrived at the lodge. There was a bit of lack in detail about the itinerary leaving us confused about certain details or payments left to us. Alongside, not being sure who our guides were because they kept switching depending on the activities for the day. Other than that, we enjoyed our time.

Dear Aria,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly grateful you chose Thiam Travels for your safari adventure and we’re happy to hear that you had a great time and enjoyed the company of our guides.

We sincerely apologize for the confusion and lack of clear communication upon arrival at the lodge. Your experience is very important to us, and we take this feedback seriously. We always aim to provide seamless and well-communicated itineraries, and it’s clear we fell short in this area during your trip.

We’ll be working closely with our lodge partners and ground team to improve the handover process and ensure that our guests receive detailed briefings, clarity on guide arrangements, and any outstanding payments or activity information well in advance.

Thank you again for your honest review. It helps us grow and continue to provide the best experiences possible. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again — with even better communication from start to finish.

Warm regards,
Client Relations | Thiam Travels

Victoria Falls and Botswana Chobe N P extension to 3 week self arranged tour of South Africa
4/5

2 nights at each location Would have been 5 stars but for the food offering not matching the quality of the accommodation, and location of each bring several kms from the centre of Victoria Falls town and Kasane made it very difficult to travel to a better eternal restaurant.

Reliable
5/5

Thiam Travel has been very organised and responsive from the start.

Extremely reliable on site with great communication and all the drivers/guides always ready and awaiting for us before the scheduled time.

Definitely worth the money if you want an organised hassle-free safari adventure and a peace of mind!

Shutout to Ian, our driver/guide, who was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Friendly and helpful
5/5

Very much enjoyed our tour. Staff at Thiam Travels were friendly and helpful throughout. Accommodations were lovely and Safari experience was good in spite of slightly inclement weather. Based on advertised costs for other safaris, this seemed good value for the money.

Trustful and really good tour operater
5/5

It was a great time and the best was to see places not everyone goes to. It is worth to ask them about their choise. We learnd a lot about the country and had a really good time.
