20 Reasons to Book Your Luxury Safari with Rhino Africa

Africa is huge, and with so much to see and do, how can you possibly whittle down your options? Well, it’s easy – if you want the best, you should travel with the best. And as the World’s Best Safari Company that has welcomed over 200,000 guests to our continent since 2004, we can confidently say that’s us. But why exactly should you book your luxury safari with Rhino Africa? We explore the many things that make us stand out from the pack…

1. According to the World, We’re The Best in The Biz

We don’t like to brag, but luckily, we’ve got the awards to do it for us! If you book with Rhino Africa, you can rest easy that this is not our first rodeo and that we’ve consistently been awarded for our efforts in being the #1 tour operator in luxury African travel. 

3. We’ve Done it All

We eat, sleep and breathe Africa! When we say we know what we’re talking about, we mean that literally. We’ve slept in the beds, know the lodge owners themselves, and personally feasted on the food and tried their entire gin selection (just to make sure). It’s a tough life, but someone has to do it!

4. Our 100% Refundable Deposits 

We’re the first safari company to flip the switch on the status quo and offer a 100% refundable deposit to our clients. Why? Because we put ourselves in your shoes, so we can prioritise you – always! Therefore, if you’re unable to travel due to unforeseen circumstances outside of your control, you can claim a full refund of your deposit in line with our terms and conditions. 

5. We’ve Welcomed Over 200,000 Happy Travellers 

Nothing makes us happier than seeing our guests happy! We love receiving our guests’ holiday snaps and hearing all their stories! That’s why we’re so proud of our TripAdvisor rating of 4.9/5. Achieving an overall rating so high is not easy, but our African Travel Experts make it their mission to deliver only the highest quality throughout your trip.

6. Everything is Tailor-Made Just for You 

Part of what makes life wonderful is that each human being is unique. So, why should your safari package look the same? We believe in getting to know you first so we can tailor every detail to a tee. We’re talking as big as where to go and what to do to as small as your preferred G&T ratio! We want you to feel right at home and not waste a second on something you don’t wholeheartedly enjoy. 

Whether you’re a family with kids looking for something that offers fun for everyone or a couple seeking a private romantic getaway, we can make it happen!

7. By Travelling With Us, You Help Create Jobs

Unemployment is a real problem in Africa. That’s why we’ve made it our promise that, for every seven people who travel with us to Africa, we create one permanent job in the tourism industry. Yes, that means your trip will directly help us employ someone and positively influence their lives and those of their loved ones and community!  

8. You Help Save Endangered Wildlife

Africa is packed with fascinating creatures. However, unfortunately, there are many that are threatened or already endangered. Some of these include the rhino, pangolin, African wild dog, vulture, cheetah, and many more. 

We work closely with our Impact Partner WildlifeACT to protect these species through their impact-driven projects. And by travelling with us, you directly contribute to these noble efforts. 

9. You Uplift Communities

We work closely with our Impact Partners like Khumbulani Daycare and the Good Work Foundation to empower communities through support and education initiatives.

The Good Work Foundation is Africa’s first digital learning campus model for rural communities, whereas Khumbulani is a haven for children affected and infected by HIV/AIDS. If you choose Rhino Africa to book your luxury safari, you directly help us to support them.

10. You Don’t Have to Worry About a Thing

When you travel the Rhino Africa way, you can expect no surprises. And by that, we don’t mean a bottle of your favourite bubbly waiting for you in your room because we’re big on those kinds of surprises! What we mean is that you will know exactly when and where to be, and what you can expect, and things will go as scheduled. No stress, no mess – we only impress!

11. We Have The Best People on Speed Dial 

When other people are being put on a waitlist, you could get VIP access to our continent’s premier accommodations and experiences. Why? Because we personally know the owners and can make it happen! We’re proud to have long-standing relationships with the best service providers in the luxury travel industry.

12. We Speak Your Language

We want you to be able to speak to us in your own home language, which is why we’re proud to offer our services across five languages, namely English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese. 

13. We’re Innovative in All That We Do

When life gives us lemons, we don’t just make boring old lemonade – we turn them into a fabulous cocktail! Since our founder and CEO David Ryan first dreamed up the idea of Rhino Africa at his kitchen table, the brand has evolved and is seen as a pioneer in the world of online travel bookings. We don’t believe in stagnation and always look for the next big idea to make your journey even more enjoyable and seamless.

14. Best Prices Guaranteed

Since we’re on a first-name basis with all the premier luxury safari brands and bring many guests to our continent, we get the best rates for you. In fact, we’re so confident in this that if you find the same holiday for a lower price, we’ll beat it! 

15. We’re Your One-Stop Shop

We love all things Africa and have strong relationships with more than 1,500 suppliers across the continent. This enables us to cut out the middleman, and you only have to deal with us and not multiple different suppliers. One point of contact means no confusing logistics and you can have us on speed dial if you need any help during your trip. 

16. We’re Accredited

As a Southern Africa Tourism Services Association (SATSA) affiliated and bonded company and members of the African Travel and Tourism Association (ATTA), Europe’s largest trade association promoting Africa, we’re well-connected. 

17. Peace of Mind with Travel Insurance 

Travelling should be a stress-free experience! That’s why we’ve made things even simpler for you by teaming up with Global Rescue to give you the best travel insurance solution, including medical expense and emergency assistance cover to reimbursements for unplanned trip interruptions and cancellation cover.

18. Latest Visa and Travel Requirements

It can seem like a logistical nightmare to travel to a foreign country, especially when regulations keep changing. However, if you book your luxury safari with Rhino Africa, we feed the latest information straight to you and assist you in securing your eVisa. We also keep you updated throughout the entire process.

19. We Know Things as They Happen

As the authority in luxury African travel, we’ve got our ears on the ground and know things as they occur. This means you’ll get information about anything relevant before it even becomes a headline! Through our connections, we can ensure all logistics are handled seamlessly and that you know of all the hottest events happening where you’re going! 

20. We’re Inclusive to All

We love working for Rhino Africa and are fiercely proud of our inclusive culture. We make sure every member of our Rhino Crash feels accepted and understood. This also translates to our guests, as we want everyone, regardless of race, background, gender, sexual orientation or preference, to travel confidently and have the best time in Africa.
