Our family’s first safari adventure was quite simply magical from start to finish! We spent five incredible days in Zambia, right on the edge of the South Luangwa National Park. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was super luxurious, and the service from the team was exceptional. We were fortunate to witness some incredible wildlife moments, including a lion kill involving a warthog - one of the highlights of our trip! The sights, sounds, and views from our lodge were breathtaking, and they helped frame the entire experience in such a meaningful way. After our time in Zambia, we travelled to the tranquil shores of Lake Malawi. We spent our days fishing, snorkelling, paddleboarding, kayaking, and hiking through the stunning mountains surrounding the lodge. It was an unforgettable trip, and we can’t thank James and the entire Bonamy team enough for tailoring every aspect of our journey. From the first game drive to the last paddle on the lake, everything was seamless, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged just for us. This was truly an out-of-this-world adventure, and we’ll be talking about it for years to come! 

Two words: Thank you!!! We decided to go with Bonamy to organize - or rather let them organize - our honeymoon in Namibia after they were referred to us by friends who shared their experiences with us. We started discussing early on with James, who quickly set up a 2 week long clockwise round trip around almost the whole territory of Namibia for us. Nothing was missing to make this trip perfect. We went for the full self-driving tour, and every step of the journey was detailed to perfection. We almost got lost the only time we decided to trust Google Maps when the more-than-precise driving instructions would have avoided such a situation… And, getting there with EVERYTHING taken care of (car rental, every hotel/lodge/camp booking, places to visit, pre-booked and bonus activities on site...) was such a relief that we could really focus on the main reason we went there in the first place: having the time of our life without worrying a single second about the logistics or planning. And we did! Hats off to Bonamy (and James in particular), you made this once-in-a-lifetime trip as memorable as we wanted it to be for this more than special occasion.

We had a wonderful time! It was an incredible experience and the kids were absolutely blown away.  We absolutely loved the lodge, the design, layout, food service and guides - all exceptional. Victoria Falls was impressive (even with the drought) and the guide we had there was fantastic at getting us all safely across to Zimbabwe and back. We talked so much about our trip, that my youngest son’s father and his wife want to also go on safari for their honeymoon. 

We cannot recommend Bonamy enough. We were overwhelmed (and honestly a little sceptical) when it came to planning an African safari. We reached out to several travel companies and Bonamy was the right fit from the beginning. Toby and Vanessa helped us build the trip of our dreams. They asked us questions to help determine our travel style and sent us sample itineraries based on what we asked for. We ended up booking a trip to a location we weren’t even considering (Zimbabwe), and it turned out to be EXACTLY what we wanted. They answered all of our questions along the way and prepared us for our safari. When we had a few hiccups (flight delays that were completely out of their control), Vanessa checked in before we even had a chance to reach out to her. She helped us book a last-minute airport hotel and coordinated updated flights for us - truly a lifesaver in a stressful moment. Everything about our safari was far beyond our expectations and we can’t wait to work with Bonamy again.

Bonamy helped us plan and book our honeymoon to South Africa, Zambia, & Malawi in October of 2022, and we loved it so much we booked another with them less than 2 years later! We just returned from a trip to Uganda and Kenya, and I cannot recommend the team at Bonamy enough. From planning to logistics to personalization and constant support, they have made both trips the greatest experiences of our lives. We will absolutely continue to use them for our next Africa trip and recommend them to everyone!

This adventure will be in our hearts for the rest of our lives. We met so many people who shared their lives and heritage with us. We saw every beautiful animal on our list, bringing new meaning to all of the conservation efforts we read from afar. The wine, gin and food were perfect at every location. The Bonamy Team are miracle workers!! Just know it was the trip you planned and promised. Thank you!

It was not just a trip or a holiday. It was something totally different, a complete experience full of adventure and learning. We spent 10 days in Kenya on our first Africa tour, visiting Masai Mara North Conservancy and Amboseli National Park. The accommodations, staff, game drives, safari guides - everything was perfect and Bonamy was in every detail throughout our trip. Bonamy not only made the best experience in our life so far but designed each day of our itinerary as if they knew us deeply. They asked us the perfect questions to know exactly what we were looking for and deliver something to us that really blew our minds and hearts. But above all, we highly recommend them as they are a highly professional group of people who create trips with awareness, care, and are clearly passionate and lovers of Africa. We will definitely repeat many adventures through Africa with them!

Bonamy organised my recent trip to Zambia and could not have been more helpful. Their expertise in arranging quite a complex trip for safari was first rate, with all the hotels, drivers, connections expertly arranged and delivered by the most courteous staff. Travelling alone on my first trip to Africa, I was quite apprehensive but I really didn't need to be, the team took care of everything and went the extra mile to ensure I had a high quality experience throughout.

Unprecedented service and attention to detail. Yet again, a fantastic trip planned and arranged by Bonamy Travel. Lovely hotels and lodges and memorable experiences throughout our safari. All the transfers and assistance requested worked like clockwork and the people involved couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. The attention to detail Bonamy gives, from initial planning to confirmation and help with everything one needs to make a trip go smoothly, is quite unprecedented. Not surprising that we already have another trip booked with them!

We had an amazing and stress-free family vacation - thanks to Bonamy's great knowledge & experience. At any point we felt supported by Bonamy throughout the preparation and the vacation itself. We will definitely travel with them again!

Bucket List trip!! Vanessa and Toby were helpful from the start. The trip they planned was wonderful. A trip of a lifetime. They answered a million questions we all had. And even had me take a photo of my packing to help me decide what to bring. The tour guide was excellent and knowledgeable too. Would highly recommend this company and have already got friends going to South Africa with Bonamy.

Bonamy is a first-class tour operator! We had the most fantastic 3 weeks in South Africa, beautifully planned for us. Superb lodges throughout from a guest house in Cape Town to Cederberg, Grootbos and Babylonstoren with others in between. Meeting Toby and family was an added bonus. We could not recommend Bonamy more highly.

We had an amazing time. The scenery constantly took our breath away, and the lodges Bonamy picked for us were amazing. For 25 years New Zealand has been my favourite country for its diversity and incredible experience. But Namibia has now knocked it off the top spot.  On top of the scenery, the wildlife, the remote places to stay and the wonderful food was the incredible hospitality and gentle nature of everyone we met. Thank you so much for putting this incredible experience together for us.

What excellent service & advice we had with Bonamy. Having given a very basic request for a safari followed by some relaxation we were provided with various options & so were able to tailor our trip until we were happy. I have to say that the service just didn't end there. Blighted by the pandemic, the team kept in touch with us regularly, adjusting & readjusting our adventure taking all the hassle & strain away. Having listened to our thoughts they put together a superb trip combining the Angama Mara & Zanzibar. Always happy to help with 'any' query. We also found the online safari portal excellent, from checking the correct documents, travel advice, to a full overview of the holiday. If you’re looking for expertise & experience then you’ve found them. Bonamy listens & delivers, you’ll not be disappointed.

Bonamy was brilliant every step of the way! The time and energy they put into helping us plan our honeymoon made all the difference. We had a wonderful trip to South Africa, and after doing our own thing in Cape Town, it was lovely to hand ourselves over and be taken care of on safari in Phinda and at Thonga Beach Lodge. We would highly recommend booking a holiday with them!

The place to go for advice and inspiration. Very attentive service and above all really good advice from nice people who really know their stuff. Highly recommend the Bonamy crew to anyone interested in a safari, whether you're a novice or a seasoned campaigner.

We booked our honeymoon through Bonamy and they were amazing throughout the entire process. They took time to understand exactly what we were looking for and carefully tailored some options for us to review within our budget. They provided us with a detailed itinerary and ensured we had all the information we needed at every step. I've been recommending them to all my friends!

If you're travelling to South Africa and you want some help organising a great itinerary, look no further than Bonamy Travel. They were incredibly professional and friendly, helping suggest places, activities and accommodations that suited us perfectly. Always a phone call away, the whole process was fun and easy. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

I am completely blown away by Bonamy! When my husband and I started planning our honeymoon we wanted to do something different... we decided on Africa, now being in the States and not knowing anything about where to go, what to do, etc it was very daunting. I spoke to all the "big" name travel companies where I felt like I gave a budget and they threw a trip that wasn't of our interest back. When narrowing down my search to smaller tour companies, I found Bonamy. I filled out the website questionnaire, then a few days later was on Skype with the most personable character ever, Toby! He took the time to talk through our interests, likes and dislikes and came up with multiple detailed itineraries that fit our budget and also hit the length of which we wanted to vacation. The planning process was simple and FUN... now what if I were to tell you that once you book you don't have to lift a finger when you arrive... swear! From airport pickups, luggage transfers, amazing lodges, amazing guides, hotels - Bonamy thought of everything. At the end of our trip, we were lucky enough to spend time with Toby and his wife and I'm not exaggerating when I say I cried saying goodbye to them. I seriously cannot wait to go back and have recommended them to our families and friends. Bonamy is the only way to travel to Africa!
