Amazing holiday
We had such an amazing experience thanks to Geraldine at BHS Safari. Everything was really well organized and felt very personal to us from the beginning.
Our trip between Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park was truly special. The lodges, transfers and activities were all great, and everything just flowed very easily, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Geraldine clearly knows what she’s doing — her recommendations were always right, and she made the whole planning process simple and stress-free.
We came back with unforgettable memories and are so grateful for this trip. We would absolutely recommend Geraldine to anyone looking to plan a safari experience.
Thank you again for everything!
Amazing Trip to South Africa
Amazing Trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana and Geraldine was a delight to work with.
AMAZING trip to Kenya and Tanzania!
AMAZING trip to Kenya and Tanzania!
Jo Cooper and BHS Safari Co. thought of every single moment and made sure we sucked the bone dry! They listened to what we wanted to see, how we wanted to travel and worked out every single little detail to make the experience truly memorable. We had thought that this would be our once in a lifetime trip and we are already talking about going back!
First Time Safari
I used BHS to plan my family's first ever Safari trip and it was the holiday of a life time. The great service began with my initial correspondence with Jo, who helped plan out the trip, answered any questions I had and listened to what we wanted. The actual execution on the ground surpassed all our expectations. From the amazing Mariska who tracked down our four bags that had missed a connecting flight in Australia, getting them to us on Safari with minimal delay and stress. Bateleur stole all our hearts, the guide in Cape Town was a delight as was the hotel. We finished in Zimbabwe at The Old Drift Lodge and once again we were blown away. We are already starting to think about a return trip in a couple years for my 50th!
How do you plan a trip of a lifetime?
How do you plan a trip of a lifetime? We began with a phone conversation with Geraldine Morelli from BHS Safari. Geraldine listened to what we envisioned, asked pertinent questions and provided insights and advice. A few follow-up conversations later Geraldine provided an itinerary that raised our hopes and expectations without inflating our budget. Five Nights at Thambamati Luxury Tented Camp for Safari, Five Nights in Cape Town and Two nights at Victoria Falls. As our trip neared Geraldine maintained communication and always responded to any questions we had. In January 2026 me, my wife, my daughter and her husband were heading to Africa. Thambamati’s understated elegance with a very attentive staff and exceptional food. exceeded our expectations. Mich and Charlie could not have been better hosts; they were very cognizant of dietary restrictions and prepared meals that did not compromise on quality. The twice daily game drives provided many opportunities to see all the big five as well as the Black Rhino, endangered painted wolves, countless zebra, impala, eagles, and other wildlife. Charlie’s knowledge and conversational style truly enhanced the safari experience.
We were greeted by Henning, our assigned driver at Cape Town airport who was extremely friendly, conversant, and attentive. As he chauffeured us for four days around Cape Town we saw Table Mountain, Robbins Island, the V& A waterfront, various places of interest in the city and the beautiful landscapes out to Cape Horn. He was sure to keep us ahead of the crowds, without making us feel pressured or rushed. The Clarendone Fresnaye Hotel was a beautiful boutique hotel conveniently located with a personalized friendly staff and beautiful accommodations.
Seeing the magnificent Victoria Falls was a perfect way to end an amazing two week trip.
If you are thinking of visiting Africa and want to do it “your way” I would strongly recommend having a conversation with Geraldine Morelli who listens, asks questions and makes your dreams a realty.
Another unforgettable experience with BHS
BHS Safaris has once again delivered an unforgettable experience. From the effortless booking process to every moment out in the bush, everything was flawless. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and ability to curate truly special safari moments is unmatched. We cannot recommend BHS Safaris highly enough for all your safari adventures!
BHS Safari / Geraldine Morelli
BHS Safari / Geraldine Morelli, planned a perfect 11 day tour of East Tanzania for my friend and I. She provided excellent communication throughout the process of planning. She has first hand knowledge of this area. We had a variety of accommodations ranging from high end lodges to lovely tent camps. I would highly recommend her services!
Our recent safari trip to Botswana & Namibia
For our recent safari trip to Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe we used BHS Safari and our agent was Jo Cooper. We absolutely loved how responsive, caring and professional both Jo and BHS were throughout our 3 weeks. We just had to send a text and right away, any issue we had at a particular camp was addressed and resolved. He arranged a special horse riding trip for my daughter who is an avid equestrian and riding in the desert in Namibia was one of the highlights. I greatly value how connected BHS was, from the moment we reached out to them and working with Jo was a genuine pleasure. Now that we are back in Canada, I have already reached out to him and told him I am planning my next Safari and the only company I would use is BHS and Jo, of course!!!
A pleasure working through BHS!
BHS Assisted us in planning a wonderful get-away for my husband's birthday. They catered for exactly what we had in mind, and within my budget. They are friendly and helpful, and the communication is clear and consistent, making the planning of the trip an absolute joy of an experience. Will definitely recommend.
The best trip to Zambia
Geraldine helped create the perfect experience for my son and I, with 8 days in Zambia at Time & Tide. The care and attention to planning meant out trip was brilliant, and the communication always quick and easy. Zambia provided the best wildlife, landscape and we learnt so much from the best guides. Both places we stayed in were amazing, the views exceptional, the food was so good and the service brilliant. Thank you Naomi and Sam
Fabulous safari / beach holiday in Kenya
We had the most amazing trip in Kenya organised by Geraldine. She was super helpful, super responsive and curated a fabulous itinerary for us which was specifically tailored with my daughters in mind - very family friendly. Our driver / guide was also fabulous - knowledgeable and very friendly. Highly, highly recommended.
Knowledgeable, Connected Professionals
Knowledgeable, Experienced, Connected and customer service focused company. BHS with Jo as the team leader helped curate a perfect family safari with a blend of adventure, education and African life and African wildlife! They also helped find and deliver one of the kids lost bags to our campsite in the bush! World class service and execution.
Safari Adventure of a Lifetime
My wife and I traveled on a trip of a lifetime to Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa on safari with BHS and our experience was very favorable, including planning, execution, and adventure. We stayed primarily at Wilderness lodges and guides for our game drives were all knowledgeable, experienced, and fun. We were treated with kindness and care throughout the itinerary. The BHS team was particularly accommodating to our mobility-related needs throughout, including last minute requests made by us to alter our itinerary. We recommend working with BHS to arrange your Southern African safari journey as long as you fully understand light aircraft timetables and luggage requirements to avoid awful interactions with DHL.
Seamless, Thoughtful, and Truly Exceptional—Book with BHS!
Huge thanks to BHS Safari Company—especially our amazing friend Angela Morgan. Not only did we have a seamless, unforgettable safari experience, but we also made lifelong friends along the way.
It was our group’s first time in Africa, with everyone coming from different parts of the U.S., and Angela went above and beyond from the very beginning. She patiently communicated with us for months in advance, arranged the perfect lodge, coordinated multiple vehicle transfers, and even handled a last-minute addition to our group with zero hassle. Every detail was taken care of.
Our assigned driver, Markus, was so professional, kind, and engaging that we requested him again for our return trip. (Let’s just say some unforgettable memories were made during those rides—stories for another time!)
Bottom line: BHS doesn’t just offer safari bookings—they deliver personalized, top-tier service from start to finish. From logistics to laughter, they’re the best in the business.
Don't waste your time looking elsewhere. Just book with BHS.
BHS excelled again!
BHS excelled again!
They put together a multi-stop itinerary for us in May that covered a wide-ranging experience in the South African safari area that includes Kruger Park as well as adjacent private game parks.
Apart from the great itinerary, they communicated all the way through, making sure we found our way around and had the best possible experience.
Needless to say we had one of our most memorable game trips.
We've used BHS before and will certainly use them again.
Excellent attentiveness and BHS truly…
Excellent attentiveness and BHS truly listened to what I wanted in my first safari experience. They offered options that fit my budget and made suggestions to round it out based on their experience. Throughout the actual trip they were in touch and dealt with any minor changes eliminating any potential stress. You can't go wrong working with them.
We just had an amazing mobile safari…
We just had an amazing mobile safari organized by Geraldine. Everything was perfectly arranged, and it truly was one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives, immersed in the breathtaking nature of Botswana. The guide and the team who accompanied us were not only professional but also incredibly kind and attentive throughout the journey.
An Unforgettable Experience with BHS
I cannot thank the BHS Safari team enough for the unforgettable journey we experienced. The team's dedication to crafting an immersive adventure for us was evident from our very first interaction. Every aspect of our trip was meticulously organized, from accommodations to transportation. This attention to detail ensured a smooth experience, allowing us to take in the beauty of South Africa.
What truly set BHS apart, however, was their deep commitment to conservation and community. During our extensive conversations with Brett and the rest of the team, it became evident that their mission goes far beyond providing exceptional safaris. They are deeply invested in ensuring that each journey contributes positively to the local communities and environments they work with. It was inspiring to see how they blend adventure with purpose, making every experience not only enriching for guests but also beneficial for the regions and communities they visit.
I recommend BHS Safari Company to anyone looking for a safari that's as meaningful as it is breathtaking. Their professionalism, passion, and dedication to conservation make them stand out as a leader in the field. I will surely be planning another trip to South Africa, and can't wait for another adventure with the BHS team!
Very smooth yet amazing trip
Geraldine did a great job of arranging everything and we had a smooth and amazing trip.
BHS a team with passion and heart for people, nature and adventure
BHS consists of a fantastic and adventurous team with its heart in the right place. They know very well how to convert my wishes into a fantastic holiday, taking nature and people into account.
