Seamless, reasonably priced 3-day visit to Kruger National Park
We registered for the 3-Day Budget Friendly Crocodile River Kruger Park Safari. This package included transport to and from Johannesburg, two nights at the Prestana Kruger Lodge, and four three-hour game drives through the park. The price was in line with other budget safari packages we saw, but allowed for the maximum time inside the park of any option we found in that price range.
We were extremely satisfied with the booking service provided by Mmilo Tours. Everything went smoothly, and the staff was extremely responsive (even when we contacted them at 5 a.m. because our pickup for a game drive was a few minutes late!). Our transportation unfailingly departed on time and arrived early. We were also happy with the game drives with the rangers from the park. Although these were supposed to be group drives, because we were there at off-peak times we had one private drive and one shared with only one other couple. We were lucky to have had an exceptionally skillful ranger (Opa) on one of our drives. Overall we saw lions, elephants, zebras, rhinos, giraffes, hyenas, African wild dogs, warthogs, kudu, wildebeests, and 5 (!!) leopards, usually from very close range.
We do recommend looking into Prestana Kruger Lodge before booking this tour to confirm you will be satisfied staying there. The location cannot be beat (right outside the entrance to the park so you don't have to waste time traveling to the gate for your game drives; balconies overlooking the river full of hippos and crocodiles). But the hotel itself is not really up to SA standards: the facilities are aging, there is no gym, and the service and food are mediocre. You should pick this tour if your priority is spending a lot of time in the park and not a lot of time getting there; not if your priority is relaxing in a luxury hotel.

JUST INCREDIBLE
Just finished a beautiful 8-day safari with Key2Africa Safaris. The safari was amazing; our guide went above and beyond to make sure we had an incredible experience. Although it was raining most of the time, we still saw enough wild animals. The camps were the highlight of our safari, every hotel we went to was spectacular and luxurious, just what we wanted. Very nice work done by Key2Africa Safari.

This is the agency you want to go with
The skills and knowledge of the driver is key to the experience of the Chobe NP. Tracking the animals, driving safely on the bumpy roads while explaining the animal behavior. Kalahari tours has the best drivers.
We had the best sightings, learned a lot of things. Enjoyed magnificent sunsets and scenery.
While viewing a leopard close by, a pride of 16 lions, elephant families…
The camp was basic and correct. In plain nature. Food was good.
Absolutely recommendable.

Excelent
Our guide, Patrick, was exceptional! He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and plants. He was very easy going and friendly. The office staff, Ambrosia, Safiness and Richard, were very responsive and helpful during the booking process. I feel that we got more than our money's worth. I would highly recommend this company.

Pamela is an amazing hard working organiser always contactable and Cosmas our guide and driver best
It is amazing to spend time at least 3 - 4 days in Victoria Falls . We enjoyed the bridge walk , high tea at elegant Victoria Falls Hotel , helicopter ride over the falls is sensational . Of course walk for 2 hours around the Falls is an amazing experience , do not forget your raincoat , we did not mind getting wet by the fresh sprinkles from the mighty falls . Lastly make sure have lunch at Lookout Cafe & Boma dinner . We were lucky to have Pamela from Zim Travels to arrange our itenary . And am glad she appointed Cosmas as our driver and guide who made sure everything went well . His knowledge is very good and he too managed to show us a tower of zirraffes and kudus on the way to Botswana .
We spent 3 days in Chobe again the itenary was amazing . We did 2 morning game drives , one afternoon game drive and one safari from Chobe River Cruise . All views at sunrise and sunset was spectacular . Furthermore to see all the animals and birds in nature was amazing . We were lucky to see so many animals and birds . The rangers were very professional all out to please.
In summary we had great experience with Pamela from Zim Travels and will consider her for our next adventure in Africa .

Knowledgeable, Professional, Flexible, Fantastic guide and safari! Will be back with WhitePlains!
I have been on many safaris and this one was the best so far. Josephs took us to 3 national parks and a conservancy - Amboseli, Tsavo West, Tsavo East and Taita Hills conservancy. The variety of animals and birds we saw was incredible and Joseph was a fabulous guide explaining each and every single one, taking the time to answer all of our questions as we are avid safari fans. He was very patient with the children as well and really made their safari experience exhilarating. Joseph would give us as much time as we wanted to see the animals and was very flexible on timing departure from hotels depending on the itinerary for the day. On our last day of safari, we came across a pair of mating lions at around 8.30am and Joseph gave us a full hour to observe, take pictures and videos and be mesmerised. It was literally a private screening with no other tourist vehicles and felt magical! A memory for a lifetime and all thanks to Joseph/Whiteplains for making this possible!
