I always feel safe and that I have got the best deal when I book my flights with DialAFlight
Many thanks to Alfie and Oli for guiding me through the Covid rules. I would never book with anyone else - they truly went above and beyond the call of duty. 10/10
Jordan was brilliant - saved the hassle of looking at endless websites and the price was just the same but with less effort - no form filling, clicking or scrolling. Easier and simpler than ordering a pizza!
Darryll was fantastic
It all worked out well.
Shelley is a complete star
Thanks for your service, advice and efficiency plus, best of all, actual, individual advisers who deal with me personally!
Excellent service as always! I recommend you to everyone, have been using you for approximately 20 years now and would never change! Keep doing what you do, especially the answering of phones within seconds and speaking to a human straight away! No press this number for this or that number for that, just good personal service!??
Everything went very smoothly
Your service is superb. Huge thanks to Dominic and Marco for giving solid advice to an anxious 71 year old travelling to Kenya. You were ‘there’ for me when I had a query. (Dialaflight app disappeared in Kenya, so I needed to call you. Thanks Marco for swift email support) you are a terrific team!
Travel in general is way more complicated at present time but as always it was great to have peace of mind knowing my flights were sorted out with Dylan.
They are really professional and helpful. They update you with all the travel requirements and answer your email questions quickly. I am always pleased to book my travel with them
What a relief DialAFlight is there!
Jim was very helpful but as older travellers we did need outside help with visas and locator forms!
Ryan was very helpful
DialAFlight never lets me down! Highly recommend Luke and his amazing team. Flight changes and last minute requests always met - they try their best to always get me the best deals. Love them
Very helpful and quick to respond to your request
Great service thanks. We'll be booking again
Oli and your team, you are doing a good job. Keep it up. I have told my friends you are the best for travel
Shelley and colleagues always pro-active when COVID threatened to derail holiday. Fortunately all worked out well in the end!
A thrilling safari in the heart of Africa is on the must-do list for many, an essential element being to tick off the Big Five - lion, leopard, buffalo, rhinoceros and elephant. Grab your binoculars and let our experts guide you to the ultimate safari holiday…
Lion : South Africa
The Shamwari Game Reserve, in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, works with the Born Free Foundation and maintains Big Cat Rescue and Education Centres. It’s the mission of Born Free, founded by actress and conservationist Virginia McKenna and late husband Bill Travers, to ‘Keep Wildlife in the Wild’.
Both Shamwari and Born Free protect big cats and many other species and have rescued animals from all over the world. On Shamwari's morning and evening game drives you'll see lions and the rest of the Big Five.
Accommodation is in a choice of individually styled luxury lodges, in glorious settings giving the opportunity to interact with nature in its purest form.
Leopard : Namibia
The Okonjima Nature Reserve, is halfway between the capital Windhoek and renowned Etosha National Park.
As they're nocturnal and well-camouflaged, leopards are the most elusive of the Big Five and you need an expert guide. At the family-run Okonjima, home of conservation charity The AfriCat Foundation, small groups go in rough-terrain vehicles and stay out for as long as it takes to snap your prey.
Staff use radios to share sightings. What looks like a patch of bare scrub can hide a gloriously languid leopard.
Accommodation is in luxury villas with vast picture windows. Guests can sponsor a leopard and receive updates once home.
Rhino : Botswana
Moremi Game Reserve is on the eastern side of the Okavango Delta, where black and white rhinoceros have been introduced under the Botswana Rhino Reintroduction Project. It has seen a zero-tolerance anti-poaching policy result in rhino once again inhabiting areas where they had been virtually extinct.
As well as the Big Five, on Moremi game drives you'll see a wealth of bird species by the lagoons, including the African Fish Eagle, Pel’s Fishing Owl, Crested Crane, Lilac-breasted Roller, Hammer-kop, Ostrich and Sacred Ibis.
Luxurious accommodation is in Belmond Khwai River Lodge, idyllically set at the forest edge with views over the floodplains.
Elephant : Kenya
Samburu Intrepids Lodge is a lush oasis on the banks of the great Uaso Nyiro River in Samburu Game Reserve. Elephants love to play in the water and guests have a front-row seat from their room - with several impromptu shows a day.
The tented luxury camp is at the edge of a forest and cooled by the river breeze. It sits on raised decks overlooking the river, where crocodiles also often lounge by the bank. The jagged peak of distant Mount Kenya is in the background.
On Samburu game drives you'll see the other members of the Big Five.
Buffalo : Kenya
The Porini Mara camp is in the Serengeti-Mara wilderness. Dubbed 'the widow-makers', buffaloes are probably the most deadly of the Big Five and reportedly kill 200 people a year.
Guides explain what to do if a buffalo charges: lie flat, face-down, so they can't gore and toss you on their horns. The ones we found were too busy rutting and sparring to charge. But the sense of danger makes it feel all the more real.
Accommodation is in tents, all with hot showers, flushing loos, comfortable beds and living areas with sofas.
Fine-tuning your trip
All of these wonderful safari options are just a starting point for your African holiday adventure, why not add on hotels before and after a safari or include any additional tours or excursions.
The Africa Bush offers many awe inspiring experiences, it is not all about the Big Five. Some reserves are expanding 'walking safaris', where you get close to nature on foot, such as on a mountain gorilla trek.
The great migration, the annual journey of two million wildebeest from the plains of the Serengeti to the grasslands of the Masai Mara, is an astonishing sight.
And a safari/beach combination is possible, for example, in Kenya or South Africa.
