Upmarket Safari trip with some amazing animal moments
We went to see animals and that is what happened. It was sometimes hit and miss but we were covering vast areas and animals don't stand around waiting for us to snap them. The safari guides/drivers were very knowledgeable and capable bushman able to see animal tracks when they were driving. They were incredible drivers and tried to get us up close to the animal without causing either the animals or ourselves any harm. We enjoyed the accommodation especially the unfenced stays that we had, on those nights we had a lot of elephant activity and it is a wow factor to have large animals so close. All in all looking forward to going back to Africa.

Very easy to deal with and the itinerary was fantastic!
We has such a wonderful safari. We booked everything on line prior and it was so easy. Quick responses to email etc. by Wild Africa Travel Company. We got a very detailed itinerary and everything was exactly how they had described it. We loved the itinerary as it was the perfect blend of safari vs. cultural activities. Some of the Safari days were very long drives sometimes up to 10hrs driving, with a few rest breaks. With that said we could not have asked for better drivers. The accommodation that we stayed at was beautiful and a nice mix of tented camps and lodges. Each day got better than the last, even when we thought that the previous day could not be topped. We saw so many animals and experienced the Big Five almost daily. We witnessed leopard kills and other amazing experiences. It was definitely a trip of a lifetime and lived up to every expectation we had. We can't wait to go again.

Booking went smoothly and all was as expected.
I was happy with the service and advice, communications were responded to in a timely manner and I would definitely book through Wild Africa again.

Trip of a life time
This was our first time using Wild Africa Travel Company and i was impressed how smoothly our trip was. The information provided was clear and accurate.
I would not recommend the night safari as you didnt see much and the tour guide gave you the light to find the animals and unless you were a guide you dont know what you are looking for. Apart from that fully recommend and would use Wild Africa Travel again.

Very responsive, reasonably priced tours
Absolutely amazing safari experience! The company that Wild Africa contracted to run the safari was very professional and the guide was very knowledgeable.
Responsiveness to emails from Wild Africa was great.
The only criticism is that we were told that we should arrange separate transport to and from the Kasane Coffee Buzz for tour pickup (we were staying in vic falls before and after the tour) which we did however it turned out we could have been picked up from the border which would have saved money, time and hassle. We were advised by Wild Africa that border pickup was not recommended. We were a little disappointed with this as we found out that our tour guide was expecting us at the border so we could have done that.

Well organised mainly.
A few cliches with communication in Kenya, eg no welcome info at hotel , a couple on our tour not notified when we were due to depart on the day after our arrival so we were 3 hours late leaving , hence didn't arrive at our first lodge near Amboseli till 7.30 pm that day,. Issues with twin bed accomodation at some lodges for myself and friend. Tanzania excellent. Guides very good. Upgrades very good.

Incredible
The first four and a half days of the camping safari were full of unique experiences being up close to the wild life that abounds in Northern Botswana. The guide, Rass and the cook were both very professional and experienced. Rass made the safari very rewarding with his intimeny knowledge of the animals and their behavior. This was especially valuabe on the third night when thre Lions came within 20 metres of our camp, chasing an Impala. Rass controlled the situation very well by giving clear instructions to all of the people on the Safari and maintaining our safety.
The other two and a half days were not so rewarding, with little wild life to see and long distances to travel.

Fulfilled our requests to the letter and even had great suggestions for better animal viewing venues
All the venues had great accommodation - dietary requirements were not past on to the venues and only one mix up with the room booking in four venues. Otherwise all safari sites exceeded our expectations with respect to viewing animals. Some very memorable camera moments that will last a lifetime including a coalition of male lions on a walking safari. Sleeping under the stars and the walking safari were definitely the highlights. We took the option to bus between one of the venues and it turned out to be the best decision ever with only cheetah sighting for the whole trip. Motswari and Rhino Walking Safari's were our choices and The Hide as a suggestion from Wild Africa Travel - a great place to get up 'really' close to animals.
