Africa is the continent that returns us to a natural world, a place that reminds us of a time when we shared the landscape with its wildlife. It is a land of primal imagery – echoing deserts, silent mountains and star-filled nights; a land of our imagination and dreams.
Home to mile-wide thundering Victoria Falls, the world’s biggest sand dunes, vast game reserves and a million wildebeest on the move, Africa is where the great herds still exist along with their predators – big cats, crocodiles and wild dogs. Elephants crowd its rivers; gorillas live in its forests; whales and turtles find refuge in its oceans – Africa is a land of giants. At Safari Online, our main goal is to make you love Africa as much as we do.
Go on a Southern Africa Safari and you can look forward to game drives, river cruises and motorboat safaris; more adventurous itineraries include multi-day canoeing and walking safaris. Bird-watching, hot-air ballooning, cultural tours and spot-lit night drives add to the experience.
Then there are Africa’s more unusual wildlife encounters: game viewing by elephant-back, walking with friendly lion cubs, and jungle trekking for gorillas and chimpanzees. You can even go shark cage diving and get face to face with a great white shark.
And thanks to its long and largely unspoilt coastline, Africa offers beach holidays too – the ideal safari add-on. Choose between tropical diving retreats and indulgent honeymoon hideaways.
Modern travel infrastructure exists throughout our recommended African destinations. Therefore making a Safari Booking Online has never been easier and more trustworthy than with us. Accommodation ranges from thatched safari lodges and tented bush camps to chic urban boutiques and world-class hotels. Getting between accommodations, whether by vehicle or light plane, are usually included or easy to arrange. You can even hire a car and travel around several destinations yourself.
Trust the advice of an expert. Founded in 2005, Safari Online takes all the guesswork out of deciding which destinations to visit and how to put it all together.
Our tried-&-tested itineraries use accommodation we visit regularly to ensure it’s as good as we say it is. And if you’d prefer something more personalised, then tailor-making an itinerary based on your needs and budget is what we do.

News, insight, travel articles and offers from the Safari Online family.
Wildlife conservation in Africa used to be a simple affair: fence off an area of land, keep the locals out, and charge foreign visitors to come and see the animals. But excluding local communities from their natural equity tends to increase the practises that work against conservation…
With all the travel advisories these days – don’t go here, be careful there – there’s one warning you never get: African Safaris May Be Addictive. Travel on an African safari for the first time and it might well be that you become hopelessly, irreversibly, even gladly, addicted to the continent.
If you thought going on safari by yourself was unusual, think again: solo safari travel now makes up some 10% of business for several operators. It’s a growing trend, and the safari industry has responded by making solo travel easier and more affordable than before.
Would highly recommend. Safari online asked questions when booking and were efficient and knew exactly what we were looking for in terms of accommodation and animals were wanted to see. Gave advice on a few little extras with no pressure, which we did and am very grateful which make trip even more exciting. Would definitely recommend booking with them.
Our 28-day itinerary took us to South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. A magnificent and unforgettable adventure. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently from the flights, transfers, rides, connections, etc. Absolutely wonderful! Can’t thank them enough!
Our mom grew up in Central and South Africa so we had visited the continent many times. My sister and I wanted to take our teens and husbands to Africa to experience the magic. We had a limited budget but big and specific expectations and by some miracle Walter was able to manage both.
Safari Online understood our needs and was able to present us with sensible options to choose from. It was evident that this tour operator has knowledgable and experienced agents who can arrange a seemless tour. We were provided with a professional online itinary which was comprehensive and easy to use, knew exactely what to expect, and encountered no stumble blocks along the way.
Safari Online have been nothing but professional and incredible from the time we made our first enquiry to the last day of our stunning holiday. Nothing was too much trouble for Walter. We are now starting to plan our next family Safari for 2019. Guess who we will be booking with??? Safari Online we hope you are ready!!!!!
Communication was excellent – I asked A LOT of questions and did a ton of research myself and Walter was extremely patient with me and very responsive. he was straight forward and extremely professional. Tour itself was excellent – an incredible experience and one never to be forgotten. Everything was spot on.
We have been to Africa for 24 of the last 27 years so know a bit about what is involved. Walter has arranged the details for the last couple of years, and has done a superb job. He is always quick to respond and comes up with answers immediately……..no evasive tactics, always head-on!
From the very first contact we’re very happy about the respond time and quality of information from safari-online.com. Based on the received first tailor-made quote, which is a weblink with all the details about the flights, photos of the lodges etc. we knew that this is “our” partner for this trip. Our expectations were excelled!!!
Excellent service and they supplied good suggestions for our holiday they also organised all internal flights and arranged check in for us so we had no worries while on holiday. We have had a most memorable holiday staying at wonderful places thanks to Sabrina and Safari Online. Would recommend Safari Online to organise your holiday.
Our experience with Safari Online was excellent. After becoming very frustrated trying to search for a safari destination on our own, we turned to Karina for help and she was a lifesaver. We had an amazing safari adventure at the lodge–the experience of a lifetime–and are so grateful for her help. We literally couldn’t have done it without her!
