Just read all of the other reviews! Not much more to add. Look no further than these guys! In the planning stages I communicated with several operators. After a couple of emails with Chris, the choice was obvious! Every detail from beginning to end was meticulously detailed and very informative.

The Air and ground transfers were seamless and the accommodations , guides, and other staff were top notch! The price was also very reasonable!
Also want to mention that the Tanzania Covid-19 restrictions changed just before I left which was a bit unsettling . Chris and Jen made sure I had everything I needed and arranged all testing and paperwork before I left which really helped when I arrived and left Tanzania
Will definitely use the Safari Partners on my next trip to Africa! Link to This Review

This was the most AMAZING trip! What an beautiful part of the world! What an adventure! My husband and I traveled to Kenya & Zanzibar for our honeymoon and it was the experience of a lifetime! We highly recommend booking through The Safari Partners! Chris was extremely knowledgeable and had great recommendations for Africa. He worked closely with us on what we were hoping to experience and had many suggestions within our budget. Jennifer was also a great help in getting all of our documents organized before our trip. From the moment we landed in Kenya, everything was organized from airport pickups to hotel, Safari and airport check-ins. Everyone we met along the way was so friendly! We HIGHLY recommend the Safari Partners and hope to be able to book with them again soon!! Link to This Review

This was the ultimate trip of a lifetime and it was obvious that our trip was very well considered for both our safety and ultimate enjoyment. The accommodation, the food, the guides, the staff, the people, all of it was very well planned. We did the 12 day Kenya/Tanzania safari and I wish Ijhad stayed longer to visit more countries. If I go back to Africa, I won't shop around. I will just go back to Chris and crew. They...

We can only echo the very positive comments in the other reviews of The Safari Partners. After informing Chris that we wanted to visit the mountain gorillas ( in Uganda ) and explore the Serengeti and Ngorongoro area, he put together a wonderful trip that fulfilled all our hopes and fitted our budget well. We spent nine days in the Serengeti, staying at three different camps which allowed us to explore the whole area in more depth. The wildlife and...

After informing Chris that we wanted to visit the mountain gorillas ( in Uganda ) and explore the Serengeti and Ngorongoro area, he put together a wonderful trip that fulfilled all our hopes and fitted our budget well. We spent nine days in the Serengeti, staying at three different camps which allowed us to explore the whole area in more depth. The wildlife and endless plains were spectacular!
The transfers were seamless and the accommodations and all the staff including guides, mostly provided by Asilia, were excellent. Spending three days with each knowledgeable guide enabled us to also learn more about African culture. The fact that Asilia also supports the local communities by different and numerous means was appreciated by us. On the last night of the trip, we were treated after dinner to an unexpected but thrilling Masai Warriors dance at the lovely Highlands Camp in Ngorongoro!
As we were flying from Vancouver, Chris suggested that we use KLM which he also booked. We decided to spend two nights in Amsterdam to help us with the jet lag which was a good decision. There is a lot to see and experience in Amsterdam even if it rains everyday…
We would not hesitate in recommending Safari Partners (and have already done so a few times ) for such a trip.
Thank you so much Chris and Jen!

We have just returned from the most amazing travel adventure through Rwanda, Uganda and South Africa, including a gorilla trek and safari, all of which was organized by Chris and team. This area of travel was new to us, nor are we experienced travellers, and we had a specific budget to be met. We gave Chris a very long list of things and places we wanted to see and do.

We have just returned from the most amazing travel adventure through Rwanda, Uganda and South Africa, including a gorilla trek and safari, all of which was organized by Chris and team.
This area of travel was new to us, nor are we experienced travellers, and we had a specific budget to be met. We gave Chris a very long list of things and places we wanted to see and do. Somehow he found a way to meet and exceed every expectation.
From the day we left to the moment we arrived home, it was like someone was always there to ensure we were at the right spot, at the right time. The accommodations, the transfers, and the people were incredible.
Thank you so much for the advice and guiding our trip in such a way to achieve what we wanted and understanding our priorities. It was definitely memorable for all the right reasons.
Now…. if only Chris could do something about the snow we came home to!

We have always preferred to be independent travellers in the 20 years of our retirement. But when I began to second guess myself on a safari leg of a trip to Africa I turned to Chris and he put us back on track. He prepared a customized 10 day trip to Victoria Falls, then Samburu and Maasi Mara in Kenya. Everything went without a hitch; the flights, transfers, accommodations and guided drives.

We have always preferred to be independent travellers in the 20 years of our retirement. But when I began to second guess myself on a safari leg of a trip to Africa I turned to Chris and he put us back on track. He prepared a customized 10 day trip to Victoria Falls, then Samburu and Maasi Mara in Kenya. Everything went without a hitch; the flights, transfers, accommodations and guided drives. Everything was taken care of, including hotel & lodge check in. Yet there was ample flexibility built in for us to remain in control. His choice of accommodations and camps for us was superb. We were spoiled, and loved it! It paid off to turn to a professional for guidance, in many ways such as knowing which visas to apply for or where the rainy season might affect game viewing. Safaris are an expensive proposition. We have just finished ours knowing that it was money well spent on a once in a lifetime event to be treasured. Link to This Review
