I cannot thank Deon and the Safari Guru team enough for the holiday we just had in Kenya! It was above and beyond! It was so well organised and ran so smoothly. Deon was so helpful with all our planning in the lead up too. The staff everywhere we stayed were so incredible and welcomed us with open arms to Kenya! We travelled with our 2 kids (10 and 7) who were also so well looked after and loved the safaris so much! Highly recommend for kids!

The camps where we stayed were just breathtaking and we were in constant awe of what we saw, so much beauty.

We cannot thank you enough Deon and are already planning our next trip!

      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dear Safari Guru: I cannot thank you enough for organizing an absolutely phenomenal trip to Nairobi and Zanzibar! The customer service was beyond exceptional, at every location. Every single detail was near perfection. The tent and villa accommodations were incredibly comfortable, offering spectacular views that took our breaths away. The chefs’ farm-to-table meals at each location were not only healthy but also absolutely delicious. The continuous flowing COCKTAILS and SPARKLING Wine was pure opulence!! The outdoor breakfasts, sundowner refreshments and beach front lobster dinners, were such delightful surprises! All the activities were exhilarating! The game drives, camelback ride, Beach Front GOLF, and the Sunset Dhow boat cruise, were simply magnificent. Everything was just perfect. All our African intercontinental Safarilink and ground transfers were seamless. At NBO Airport Departure, our guide through immigration, customs, boarding pass acquisition, and the 8 security checks, was EXCEPTIONAL. (I did not catch her name, but she was EXCELLENT) Please make sure she is recognized for her A+ service. We gave her a large tip for her assistance in getting us through a VERY hectic airport process to our gate. All in all our trip was EXTRAORDINARY. WE look forward to our next adventure together!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had been recommended Ashley and Deon by friends  of ours and the 3 week holiday of a lifetime ( not a term we use lightly ) was amazing. From our initial conversations with both of them where they really listened to what we wanted out of the holiday, to the many questions we had during the planning process and the information provided about luggage, packing and tipping- all was expertly handled and nothing was too much trouble. Our holiday which was my husband, myself and our 22 year old son consisted of 2 safari bases in Botswana( the Delta and Chobe river), Victoria falls and an idyllic beach resort ( very remote) in Mozambique with a hotel in Johannesburg airport as the stay between each part. Everything was professionally curated with no glitches at all and the safaris were exceptional and hotels all great. We would highly recommend using Safari Guru and definitely intend using them again in the future.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jambo Sana, Deon⁩ and Suse! I would give 10 stars if I could!! Now that we are all home safely 🙏🏽 we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to you, Deon and Suse for arranging our EPIC adventure to 3 countries in Africa, our motherland!  From the breathtaking landscapes to the incredible wildlife, the fabulous cuisine and the ever-accomodating staff and guides, the memories you have helped us to create are simply unforgettable: Our beautiful accommodations (Elewana) perched atop the Loisaba Conservancy in Kenya (even with the trek up the hill 😂 and where we first captured the Big 5 (and Damien’s Big 10 —I’ll explain later!☺️ and were introduced to the sundowner!) And danced with the Samburu tribe. Situated above the pridelands where we had a bird’s eye view of Mufasa’s kingdom. 😊 Our second stop (Mara Expedition Camp), nestled in the bush in the Mara 😳 with zip in and out tents where in reality we were closer to the wildlife than any of us ever imagined! Hence the Masai guards who moved like ninjas in the night to guide us safely! And let us not forget the final night’s exquisite dinner in the Mara…dancing with the chefs! Our third stop…the lush, tropical paradise of Xanadu in Tanzania, which was so relaxing and amazing! Capped off with an amazing ride down the Indian Ocean in a dhow with Simon and Catherine! The Xanadu experience was made even more special with our butlers and personal attention! And for the fellas, there was unforgettable golfing with a view of the Indian Ocean (Sea Cliff). And for the ladies: we had a fabulous Indian Ocean photo shoot 🥰! And finally our last leg to Cape Town. Yet another amazing adventure, from the rooftop of the ‘fancy’ Dorp Hotel in Bo-Kaap, 3 amazing wineries in Stellenbosch and Franshhoek (one black-owned: Klein Goederust and another silent disco winery: Black Elephant Vintners), and our one-of-a-kind guide—Rory, the kilt-wearing, Scottish, South African [insert his contagious laugh here 😂] I’m so thankful to both of you for creating such a wonderful journey for us! It is one we will never forget! Tell any of your potential clients to call me!! 😊 Asante Sana! Warmly, Tiffany & Damien

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently returned from the most incredible trip planned by Safari Guru, and I can’t thank Deon, Ashley, and Allan enough for making it so special. From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully arranged — from seamless transfers to breathtaking camps and unforgettable experiences (sunset cruises, Helicopter trips etc). The attention to detail and expertise of the Safari Guru Team that went into crafting our itinerary was amazing. What really stood out were the little touches — surprise treats, insider tips, and personalized moments that made the journey feel truly unique. Deon, Ashley, and Allan were always available, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything ran smoothly. Thanks to Safari Guru, we were able to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the experience, knowing we were in great hands. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safari adventure done right!
