Africa's Leading Safari Company 2025
We’ve done it again! The votes have been tallied, and SAFARI.COM has cemented its position as the best in Africa. We were named Africa’s Leading Safari Company 2025 at the World Travel Awards in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on 28 June, following our win in 2024.
“Our winners represent the very best of our industry, and we salute their achievements in helping shape the future of travel across the region,” Graham Cooke, the president and founder of the World Travel Awards, said at the ceremony.
And our win is thanks to you, our guests, who have trusted us with your safari dreams. This award is a testament to our hard-working team and their commitment to providing you with an exceptional safari experience.
First-class assistance and advice for booking my dream safari. Dolan was very knowledgeable and extremely attentive, going above and beyond to provide quotes, guidance and advice and all on a public holiday. Would highly recommend. – Peter from Spain
Our care and passion come from truly loving Africa and wanting you to experience its wonders as it was meant to be.
Tick your bush, beach and city boxes with a Wild Wonders of South Africa & Victoria Falls trip, like our 7-Day South African Safari and City Experience, or our 11-Day Luxury Kruger, Victoria Falls and Cape Town tour.
Complimentary Travel Insurance
These are uncertain times, marked by trade tensions and slowing economic growth, though there is light ahead, and consumer confidence is showing signs of recovery globally.
Caution likely guides you in making plans. We understand this. Our goal is to ensure that you feel confident in your booking, knowing you’re in expert hands.
You’ve shown that our philosophy of doing things a little differently is a winner, like our addition of complimentary BRONZE travel insurance with all bookings made through SAFARI.COM until 25th May 2026.
Take advantage when you book our marvellous Masai Mara & Amboseli Combo, or Kenya BIG 5 & Uganda Gorilla Safaris.
Thank you to Mel du Toit for planning an incredible trip for us. Fantastic lodges, the game drives were beyond anything we could have imagined, and we truly appreciated the assistance provided before, during and after our trip. – A guest from Australia

Safari.com has been wonderful to work with. We are very excited about the trip they have put together for us. Their communication has been thorough and timely.

Africa: BIG 5, Bush and Beach
We want you to see this continent at its most breathtaking and meaningful. And we understand what’s at stake: creating lifelong safari memories.
Our Kenya Bush & Beach Combo is a dreamy safari, and our Bush to Beach Luxury Safari Through Kenya is 12 days of bliss.
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us…I had a great experience.– Stanley from the United States
The World Travel Awards
The annual awards were established in 1993 to recognise the travel organisations that push the boundaries of excellence and innovation across all sectors of the tourism industry.
“Today, the WTA brand is recognised globally as the ultimate hallmark of quality, with winners setting the benchmark to which all others aspire,” the World Travel Awards write. We like to think we set the benchmark for safaris in Africa, where we work in countries across the continent, and customise holidays to suit every pocket.
Holidays like our Quick Safaris in Sabi Sand: 5-Day Luxury Sabi Sand Promotion and 4-Day Londolozi Varty Camp Fly-in Safari, or one of our longer Signature Safaris Across Southern Africa, such as our 7-Day Sabi Sand to Victoria Falls Promotion.
