Bush knowledge and passion for conservation all rolled into one !
This trip was one of the best we have done after more than 20 years of "bushing" in many National Parks and private Game Reserves. Shaun is an awesome guide who has a wealth of knowledge about the bush and animal behaviour in general. To top it all, he is a genuinely pleasant person who is fiercely passionate about what he does and actually cares about the experience he gives to his guests. Our expectations were exceeded by some distance and we will not hesitate to undertake another African safari with Moriti.....

Highly recommend this company
We were well looked after from start to finish. Peter replied to my queries promptly. We had 2 excellent drivers. Safe and courteous. Leonard was our guide on safari and looked after us very well. He was well informed, pleasant to be with. He found all the animals on the park for us to see. We were delighted with how he looked after us. I would definitely use this company again.

Over a period of 10 years, we have received outstanding service and experienced memorable holidays.
We don't tend to use travel agents to organise our holidays but an old family friend introduced us to Mari Jacobs at Cedarberg and during the past 10 years, she has organised and delivered 4 memorable holidays for groups varying in size from 4 to 11 people. We have travelled in South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia and the arrangements have been seamless. Mari is efficient and responsive - and on the one occasion when we weren't happy with our accommodation, she moved us in a flash. Now that's the hallmark of a great travel agent. We wouldn't consider using anyone else to organise our African holidays and we continue to recommend Mari / Cedarberg to anyone expressing interest.

Layed back and flexible with some unforgettable experiences.
SP was very comfortable and down to earth. There could be a little polishing up of some of the details-like being a little more timely, and expanding the menu, but the lodgings overall were wonderful, with some incredible, remote, and gorgeous settings. And Benjamin was a great guide on the safari parts- patient and knowledgeable- while other drivers were racing by he was seeing the birds, trees and hidden animals.

Great team
Simon and his team ensure that you get best experience when you are with them. This was my second visit with them and I am sure my third visit will also be with them.

Very disappointing safari company
This was a very disappointing safari due to Noah and our guide. Noah added fees once we arrived in Kenya and charged us multiple times for pick up from the airport. He also did not give the guide information about the length of the safari drives we had paid for or the entire last day of our safari. While the guide was friendly, he did not point out many animals and was not able to show us where we were on maps of the Mara or point out any landmarks that are easily found on a google search. He said he had been a guide for 5 years and worked at a lodge in the Mara for over 10 years prior to becoming a guide. He would not take us to the Mara triangle or southen part of the Mara due to mud and the length of the drive but guides for other guests at our lodge were safely driving throughout the Mara. This safari did not live up to expectations Noah had promised. The guide put in very little effort. We paid admission to Enter Thompson Falls at the bottom and walk up a path to the falls. The guide took us to another location which appeared to be free. We have had wonderful safaris with other companies.

Brilliant - I'd love to turn around and do it all again!
Breakdown Safaris arranged a private tour of three different National Parks and game reserves in Tanzania, plus a relaxing chill out on Zanzibar, over a three week period. The private tour was for my husband, five year old daughter, my parents who are in there early 70's and myself. Breakdown Safaris ticked everything off our 'to do and see' list, including personalized dietary requirements. They arranged everything from transfers, internal flights, accommodation, meals, ferries an activities. We saw all the wild animals (and more) that we hoped to see, in a safe (for us and the animals) manner. We were exposed to various cultural and charitable experiences, history and wildlife information because of our wonderful guide Fan. Our daughter has experienced a lifetime of memories because of Kathy and Fan's attention to detail and personalized service. Our expectations of adventure have now been given a whole new level.

3 Day Gorilla Safari
I went on the 3 Day Gorilla Safari Tour that Arrive Africa Safaris offers. I coordinated over email with Jessica to setup my Safari trip; she was quick to respond to any questions I had concerning the trip. I was able to have my guide, Ronald, pick me up from Kyenjojo instead of Kampala since I was working in Kyenjojo the prior week. Ronald was my guide for the Safari and he did a phenomenal job during the length of trip. He was very informative and easy-going. The Gorilla Trek itself was fantastic. It only took our group about an hour and a half to locate the gorillas and then we spent an hour observing them and taking pictures. Overall, Arrive Africa Safaris offers a great 3 Day Gorilla Trek; I definitely recommend it. One tip: If you are coming over from the US and you are bringing cash make sure to bring only 50s or 100s that are dated after 2009 and make sure that they don't have tears or stains. The Ugandan banks have strange rules on what US bills they will and won't accept.

Review about Kruger National Park by Deborah Humphreys
The wildlife is abundant and amazing, the camps are comfortable and have a range of accommodation to suit all budgets, the facilities at the camps - shops etc are first rate.
