Review about Kenya by Christy Turner, Calgary AB
I felt safe in Kenya, this is not true in other parts of Africa. The parks delivered a huge abundance of animals and the people were beyond friendly and caring. Simply amazing destination.

Review about South Africa by Ben
This being my only trip to South Africa, I can't speak to other lodges or reserves, but my experience here was an absolute once-in-a-lifetime experience. Since that time, I have spoken with others and have become friends with others who have taken trips to various lodges and reserves and all had brilliant things to say. It is definitely a must-do, bucket-list destination if you're a wildlife lover!

Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by WanderingEarl33
This is a smaller reserve and while it does include a beautiful stretch of beach, it just wasn't as beautiful as Phinda. But there was plenty of wildlife to be seen.

Review about South Africa by Lawson's Safaris
One word - diversity. It is a 'world in one country', with myriad different habitats and landscapes in a relatively small area (compared to say Australia or the USA). Ease of travel is another big plus.

As perfect a safari as I could imagine
This was an absolute highlight of my visit to South Africa. The variety of wildlife was simply unreal as we saw every animal that I could possibly think of. It's a beautiful location with a combination of open expanses, hills and forests, plenty of dirt roads to get you into the middle of the reserve and rarely was another safari vehicle seen during the 3 days we were there.
The accommodation is five star and involves private villas in the middle of the reserve, each village as luxurious as can be. Transportation involved excellent condition, super comfortable safari vehicles and our guide and animal tracker were knowledgeable, friendly and just brilliant people to spend time with.

The Tanzania safari was a lifetime dream come true! What a FANTASTIC adventure!
Kambona cares that you get the most from your journey to experience the best of Northern Tanzania! My guide, James, was very reliable, punctual, spoke excellent English, super at spotting wildlife, and kept the safari cruiser in top form. The guides at the various sites told me I had an extraordinary driver/guide taking care of my interests, as many safari companies just dropped off their clients at each site, then took a break, not seeming to care about their customers' experience at that particular location. I am most thankful that I was with such a caring guide and travel company!

Review about Zimbabwe by Jeremy Smith Photography
Zimbabwe is a safe country to drive in. Car hire is easy, efficient and there are plenty of places to go for fuel and supplies. The roads are generally good and there are things to see all over the place. National Parks all over the country where the wildlife viewing is varied as well as plentiful. The birdlife is out of this world. Zimbabwe has the advantage of having diverse soil types hosting diverse vegetation and therefore diverse flora and fauna. From the Dry Semi-desert of the South East and South West to the Pristine forests and perrenial streams of the Eastern Highlands.

Review about Toro-Semliki Wildlife Reserve by originalribenababy
Sadly I think Semliki is still recovering, or at least that was the case when we were there. True we didn't see another soul - even in the hotel we tried to visit! - but some of the game loops were closed. The buffalo and handful of Kob we saw looked truly surprised to see us!
The hot springs here are interesting and we had a good local guide take us there. There are also wonderful views from the roads across into the DRC.
Perhaps the new road they were building will change its fare?

Review about Kibale National Park by originalribenababy
We were in Kibale with the view of tracking the chimpanzees, but our best experience was at Bigodi wetlands. We saw many primates there and they were given their own space. It felt a little like we were persuing the chimpanzees which felt a little exploitative.

Great Kruger tour
We (4 people, travelling from Kinshasa) took a customized three and a half day tour heading to the Kruger park through a scenic route. We planned everything on short notice and were pleased to find a very flexible and responsive interlocutor. Inside the park, we learned lots about wildlife thanks to passionate and knowledgeable Barney. Should I have to point out a downside, that would be little luck with the weather, but that's nothing the tour operator can do anything about... Go Fun Time Tours !
