Africa's Leading Safari Company 2024

We were voted Africa's Leading Safari Company 2024 by the World Travel Awards.

It’s official - Safari.com has been voted the best in Africa by the World Travel Awards. And we couldn’t be prouder.

And we’d like to thank our colleagues in the travel industry, and you, our guests, for voting for us. It’s all down to the hard work and dedication of our fantastic team. Each one of us goes the extra mile, and we’re available 24/7 to answer your questions and build your dream safari.

Our client, Chané Brits from Australia, says it all:

‘Keith is such an amazing communicator, very organised and helpful.
This will be my first ever visit to the Kruger National Park … I can’t wait to visit and am really looking forward to the most magical experience.’

What Makes Us Special

We understand the importance of choosing the right operator and the right lodges for your safari experience, and we're here to ease those concerns. Our goal is to ensure that you feel confident in your booking, knowing you're in expert hands. Beyond the logistical details, we also recognize the deeper need to create lifelong memories with your loved ones—memories that will last a lifetime. We craft personalized safari journeys that reflect your unique desires, and we do it with the care and passion that come from truly loving Africa and wanting you to experience its wonders as it was meant to be.

Our client, Jordan Weinstein from the US, tells it like it is:

​​’We worked with Shann Shaw and she was amazing! As someone who usually books my own travel I was a little bit skeptical at first... But safaris are not like a typical vacation and there are just SO many different options. Shann was incredibly patient in answering all of my questions, and eventually found the perfect safari lodge for me and my family. I really don't think I could have done it without her help. Highly recommend working with her!’

We can organise your dream trip. If a hot air balloon over the Serengeti is up there with your top must-do experiences, book our 10 Day Masai Mara, Serengeti & Manyara Safari, which includes bush flights between camps and a balloon safari. If the stark beauty of Namibia calls, our 9 Day Diverse Namibia adventure takes you to the best the country has to offer.

The World Travel Awards

The awards are held annually to recognise the travel organisations that push the boundaries of excellence and innovation. They were established in 1993 to celebrate excellence 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.

Our guest Gabrielle Barrett shared some beautiful pictures from their safari adventure in Tanzania on Instagram.

Winning the Africa’s Leading Safari Company 2024 is evidence of our dedication to providing exceptional safari experiences and our commitment to excellence in service. Our focus on creating unique, luxurious and unforgettable adventures has earned us the trust and admiration of travelers worldwide.

Our Seamless Safari Promise

We’ve got you covered:

  • We're here for you 24/7 before, during and after your safari
  • We pay attention to every detail and can handle flights, logistics, activities and accommodations
  • We have relationships with more than 500 operators throughout Africa
  • We understand what’s at stake: creating lifelong safari memories

Our client, Henry from Australia, says:

‘I wasn’t actually planning on leaving a review until after our trip which has been scheduled for March 2025. I wasn’t even planning to use a travel company to assist as we are experienced travellers who are used to booking our own arrangements. The cost of going direct with suppliers and going through Safari.com was exactly the same - with the latter you also have outstanding service and advice which makes it pointless to do it yourself … When we ultimately wish to travel to East Africa, I know who I will be contacting.’

For East Africa, our 6 Day Great Migration Safari - Natures Most Spectacular Show has it all.

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!

Great service from Denise at Safari.com
Denise from Safari.com was extremely helpful. She responded promptly, provided good advice on safari lodgings options and worked up a couple of itinerary options to suit our budget. Denise also organised flights and transfers very quickly so that we could finalize our booking in a short time. Much appreciated.
