Bellingham Safaris know the wildlife places to visit in great detail. They work closely with you to tailor your trip to your needs and then to make sure that every step of the trip goes smoothly. You always feel like you have support and they are extremely responsive to any concerns. Everything is attended to with care. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Bellingham safaris organized for me a truly unforgettable trip through Namibia by putting together an ad hoc itinerary that included three dramatically different sites with regard to landscape and wildlife, namely the Ongava tended camp near Etosha National Park, the Hoanib Skeleton coast camp and the Wilderness Little Kulala lodge near the Sossusvlei dunes. These three locations provided visual evidence of the amazing adaptation of wild animals and plants alike to an increasingly harsh terrain as I moved from the semi-arid savanna of Ongava, through the rocky desert of the Hoanib valley , ending at the unique Mars-like landscape of Sossusvlei. An incredible journey in which, thanks to expert and knowledgeable guides, I closely observed all sort of big and small creatures in their natural habitats, in addition to learning about the geological history of this ancient place. It could not have been a better choice of itinerary for me to discover the harsh unique beauty of an Africa that I didn't know existed. Furthermore, I was very much impressed by the high quality of the accommodations throughout the trip and the seamless logistics operating behind it. Last but not least for a solo traveler like me, the staff of Bellingham Safaris followed my journey on a daily basis through a group chat, providing additional commentary to my experience ( particularly with regard to the conservation efforts associated with ecotourism) as well as traveling support when needed. Bottom line: a magic trip in a magic land.

From the beginning, Bellingham Safaris took the time to listen to our desires and then responded with an exceptional itinerary. As experienced travelers, we found their attention to detail remarkable, starting with being expedited through immigration & customs in a fraction of the usual time. Step by step, each of the arrangements were timely and organized to deliver the best experiences possible. The selection of local guides, locations & lodges, all demonstrated Bellingham's deep roots within the travel community. Very apparent during this trip was the care of keeping the animals and environment intact for others to enjoy. We endorse Bellingham Safaris for exceptional service & sightings and look forward to our next tour.

Bellingham put together a customized experience that was well-planned, monitored, and extraordinary. The staff is always looking for ways to make individual travelers comfortable and engaged. The entire trip was a delight and a meaningful experience.

Having just returned from yet another fabulous adventure provided by Simon and his team at Bellingham Safaris, I can only say that each journey is a stunning gem in the crown of Africa! Zambia was teeming with wildlife. Each of the camps' locations in Livingstone, Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa National Parks and the Busanga Plains offered varying species, with hippos & crocs, elephants, leopards, lions, not to mention the vast herds of antelope speices and birds of all colors, shapes and sizes. There were magnificent photo ops at every turn. The people of Zambia were warm, welcoming and delightful company, making every part of our journey a memorable experience. Kudos to the Bellingham Safari team for making Zambia shine!

We have been travelling with Bellingham Safaris since their inception and the efficiency and dedication to detail never fails to impress. This trip tested Shelly with 5 of us staying together for 8 nights, then two going one way for 4 nights, two another way for 4 nights and one another way staying on longer, with 4 of us flying back to the UK on the same flight. Everything worked so well, you are given a WhatsApp group to ask anything at any time and any queries we did have were dealt with immediately, and I mean immediately. All transfers, flights, meet and greets were very efficiently carried out, one was missed but sorted within 5 minutes of a message to the team which was very impressive. No other issues the whole trip, the lodges recommended Ngala and Kirkmans Camp in the Kruger and Tswalu in the Kalahari were excellent. Wildlife sightings very good with over 1700 photos to go through, we even managed to see a Pangolin ( it did have a tracker at Tswalu but still took some finding). With Bellingham Safaris all you have to do is book your international flights, we have booked two trips for 2025 already and are planning 2026. You need to book early with the lodge partners they use as they are mostly small and all eco friendly so get booked up quickly. We can't thank the team enough for more life experiences.

Bellingham Safaris (Simon and Jen) provided a great service in setting up our Principe trip and giving us sound advice on what activities to include with the hotel package. We highly recommend them if considering such a remote trip to a special place. We are sure that other trips that they offer would be just as good! Thank you Simon and Jen!

Very well organized, as always! We’ve been traveling with Bellingham Safaris since its inception and have always had great experiences! Thanks for all you do. Cheers Mario

Bellingham does a great job managing everything that could possibly happen so we enjoy our trip!
