Mike Haines (Safari & Company) has done it again! This is the second amazing trip he has put together flawlessly, first was in Tanzania in 2019 (17 days) and now in Kenya 2023 (21 days). When you are on safari you are reliant on your agent to have thought and planned everything out, not only does he do this flawlessly from the minute you land he finds ways to truly provide service above your expectations. The people he works with in the countries you visit are professional but more importantly warm, engaging, and caring individuals which ensures a wonderful time – always leaving with more friends than you landed with. He is knowledgeable and patient as he puts together a personalized itinerary. He knows how to make sure you are at the right place at the right time coming home with amazing memories counting down the days until you can reach out to him to do it again. I would highly recommend Mike and Safari & Company. Mike are you ready for round 3 – Egypt here we come!

We adventured to Namibia doing an overland/driving trip to see the dunes, ocean, and surprisingly plentiful wildlife. the guide was terrific.

We then flew to Botswana and explored it via three camps. All were special and the connecting short flights - including a helicopter - were fun and a good way to see the region from 1500 ft up.

The accommodations were all excellent as was the service and copious amount of food and drink. Camp staff and guides are key elements to a special trip - every single one delivered.

We travelled on safari with Safari & Co back in 2007. The immediate dream after that was to go again! So we did. This time we went with another couple. Mike Haines did just as well this time in orchestrating our trip. It was so simple for us... with not a glitch in transfers, accommodation, flights etc. The itinerary app was the best. The camps and hotels were excellent and so fitting to each location, food delicious, and I don't think anywhere else makes you feel as welcome. Oh, and all the wonderful animals!!! The excellent guides who drove us seemed to know just where the animals would be...zebra, giraffe, lions, leopard, cheeta, hippopotamus, baboon, ostrich even a rhino in the distance. We do travel as much as possible, and Safari & Co has been our benchmark. No other independant travel provider has been better, but this time they may just have surpassed themselves!

Amazing Trip. We contacted Michael at Safari and Co and asked him to put together a trip to South Africa where we would be able to see all of the animals, but with a preference for big cats. He put a proposal together for three private reserves as we didn’t want one where 40 vehicles all show up at the same time and you can’t see much. He recommended MalaMala (located within Krueger but a private, separate reserve) and then two reserves in Botswana (Kwando Lagoon and Kwara). These were all amazing. A max of two or three vehicles allowed at one sighting so plenty of opportunity to get amazing photos and up close sightings (my wife got more than 6000 photos - we have a LOT to go through - lol). Incredible sighting of lion prides with 8 small cubs, leopard sightings including one female who took her Impala kill up a tree to secure it from other predators (right in front of us), two male cheetahs with a zebra kill and so much more. We saw the big 5 all in one day at MalaMala. The accommodations were beyond impressive. There are so many things I could put down here but you have to see it to believe it. A must do on anyones bucket list. My wife travelled to Africa 5 yrs ago with our daughter and Michael arranged the trip for them. That is why we went back to him for this trip, and we will definitely be going back again with Michael’s expertise helping to plan the next trip.

Many thanks Don! We are so pleased you had a wonderful safari through South Africa and Botswana. September is such a great month to be on safari, being the dry season and when you can so much wildlife.

What a life changing trip with our two teenage boys! Truly an incredible itinerary, thoughtfully curated to suit our needs! From Lake Manyara, Nogorogoro Crater to the Serengeti, each lodge/tented camp was unique and special in their own ways. The guides provided were knowledgeable and teachers for all of us!

Many thanks J! Yes, a safari is such a wonderful family experience. Something your boys won't forget, I'm sure. Tanzania is awesome, so much to see.

Great experience. Mike set up everything and I couldn't have planned it better myself. All accommodations and activities were beyond expectations. I have spent a lot of time in Africa and have been all over the continent going the solo budget backpacker route. Being older and with my family I needed something a bit more "upscale". One thing you worry about going this route is a loss of authenticity but I can assure you this was not a problem. If you are worried about the package tours where you get off a bus with 40 others for a quick photo in front of some landmark you need not worry. Mike provides the real deal.

We were a group of 8, travelling to Capetown, SA, spending 5 days there and then flying to Maun, Botswana as a starting point for a 13-day safari trip - 4 camps in Botswana and 1 in Zimbabwe. All logistics went off without a hitch, thanks to Safari & Co's excellent contacts and planning. Mike at Safari&Co provided accurate info about each camp and we were delighted with the accommodations, activities, food and staff at each camp. The guides in particular were fabulous; their knowledge of animal and bird species was superb. This is a trip where you need experts setting things up.

This is the second time we have used Safari and Co. -the first to South Africa and Zimbabwe and this recent trip to Morocco. Mike paid careful attention to what we wanted and responded to our wishes. We would definitely use him again.

In 2022 we decided to go on safari in Botswana and Zimbabwe in September 2023. Safari & Company proposed an itinerary for us that ended up being perfect. We spent 4 nights at Little Sable and 3 nights at Little DumaTau in Botswana and 4 nights at Linkwasha in Zimbabwe. We finished with 2 nights in Victoria Falls. All 3 camps were great, the guides, the staff, the accommodations and the food. Little DumaTau was an upgrade because an elephant damaged the camp we were supposed to go to the week before. Safari & Company arranged everything for us including all our flights and airport transfers. We were looked after every step of the way. Our African trip was fabulous.

I contacted Mike and told him what I wanted, and he did the rest. I stayed in 4 different camps in different parts of Tanzania, and had 4 unique experiences. I was picked up and looked after every step of the way. As an older female travelling on my own, I never had a moment of worry.

The safari experience was amazing. I saw lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, gnus, rhinos, hippos, and the list just goes on. The game drives were varied, and the guides were all first class. I stayed in everything from a tent to a Masai like room.

I learned a lot about Tanzania, a little Swahili, and developed a greater appreciation for our amazing planet. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to go on Safari.
