WOW… a trip we’ll never forget
Words can’t describe how incredible our Private Moriti Safari was. Shaun planned a fantastic itinerary with us, giving us the opportunity to see all of the wildlife as well as the panoramic tour. Our guide for the 9 days, William, was a wealth of knowledge and an absolute pleasure to be around. He was a true gentleman with his only aim to make sure we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves…he definitely succeeded!
Our jam packed 9 day tour gave us the luxury of visiting a few lodges/guesthouses. Laughing Waters was the perfect way to begin; the beautifully well-kept gardens were a delight and Gavin’s cooking was delicious. West Lodge felt like home from home; comfortable, friendly and more delicious food. Our stay at Tshukudu can only be described as magically surreal. Our room/lodge was lovely, even with the added visitor of the bushbaby on our second night! Walking with the cheetah on our morning bush walk will be something we will never forget, an experience that money shouldn’t be able to buy but one we couldn’t be more grateful we had the chance of.
The last 3 nights can only be described as better than 5* luxury. Arriving at Nzumba lodge in the Klaserie area of Kruger, we were blown away with everything we saw. The beautiful big house with its separate lodges for rooms is perfectly positioned to sit and watch an abundance of animals at the watering hole. As if to order, 20mins after we arrived, sipping our cocktails on the balcony we watched a herd of elephants at the watering hole – spectacular! Werner and Rika made our last three nights dreamlike, with Werner’s incredible knowledge of the bush and Rika’s faultless hosting we certainly didn’t want to leave. Wiseman the tracker made sure we saw all the Big 5 and much more, while the chef and his team delighted us with some of the most exquisite food. There couldn’t be a more magical way to experience a safari.
We cannot thank Moriti (Shaun) enough for such a wonderful trip. There would be no hesitation in recommending to others and there’s no doubt in our minds that we will be back to experience more of what Shaun and his team can offer.

Safari in Tarangire, Ngorogoro crater and Lake Manyara
We had a great experience with Kilele Afrika! We were a group of 6 and all of us enoyed it a lot. The driver was excellent, the service was great and the hotell was very good with nice breakfast! The safari tour in itself was awesome. We saw lions coming as close as one meter to the car, elephants, zebras, monkeys, and we even saw two rhinos in the distance and a leopard. We got to see all the big 5. This trip is highly recommended!
Six day safari with Eastco
We spent many hours searching the internet and guide books for the right mixture of safari and culture experience. Eastco caught our attention because of their long service to community conservation and their mainly excellent reviews and guides. We got in touch with Simon and planned a short safari. This was late notice and we were glad to be able to experience what we did.
Myself, husband, teenage daughter and young son spent six days with Eastco this past August. We decided to fly out to the Serengeti because of the short time we had and after Simon's advice, spent our two days in the central area at the Acacia camp instead of rushing north for the chance of a river crossing. This was incredible for the many lions we saw, three leopards, one walking nearby the car along the road early morning, and a couple of mature cheetahs. A fantastic way to start the safari!
We then drove east to the Wildlife Lodge on the Ngorongoro crater rim. We were a bit skeptical at first as had fifty fifty reviews, but as Simon said, the views were incredible and that's what made our stay here. It was not as busy as we thought it would be at the lodge, but the game viewing in the crater met all our expectations, crowds of cars around any lion sighting and dust from the cars everywhere. Nice rhino in the distance and a few lazy lions. Bernard did warn us it was a bit touristy! But w still enjoyed the experienced, although I must admit I was ready to head out at lunch time.
The last two nights were at Boundary Hill Lodge in Tarangire. Simon forewarned us that this was partially his property, but also the Masai communities had a shareholding. When we arrived and saw the rooms and the dining terraces we could obviously see the WOW factor. The meals were by far the best we have had on a holiday anywhere. The young cook, Bryan, was exceptional. Apparently Simon took him in when he was only 12 years old and helped him with schooling and taught him the trade. He was very polite, friendly and talkative and really took the time to involve the children, even showing them how to make chapattis and fresh bread rolls. The staff at Boundary Hill were exceptional, we felt at home. The kids had Tinga Tinga art lessons and their efforts now adorn the study!
Tarangire is very much underrated for its game viewing, could not believe how many elephants we saw, as well as three lions and a leopard outlined at dusk on an acacia tree along the swamp. We were very lucky. Or maybe I think Bernard’s 20 odd years of experience was the “luck” we had. He obviously knew every back road and track in Tarangire and certainly was able to show us sights we would never have seen normally. He is also a great raconteur and has a very dry humour. Bernard made our trip exceptional.
A 350km desert safari adventure on horseback...riding all day and sleeping out under the stars
Namibia Horse Safari Company is a first class company which is run professionally. The logistics run like clockwork with a team who are responsive and knowledgeable. The equipment is well maintained and designed for the safari. Most importantly the horses are well trained for the safari and are treated with care and knowledge throughout. The safari significantly exceeded my expectations.

Shinzelle Safaris is very individual. They are very heartful and friendly.
Brendan made unforgettable tours in Kruger National Parc with us. He was so friendly and knows vry much about Fauna and Flora. He showed us special places and w had lots of fun. It was a wonderful time. Danielle cooked for us the best meals and always was so agile and heartful and made all wishes come true. They both are high ambitioned to make their guests the best days they can have. If we could make another tour to Kruger Park we would always choose Shinzelle Safaris. We recommend them to everybody!

Wonderful time in Kenya with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris Ltd
Our Holiday was booked very last minute but Mr. Otieno was very professional and took every care that all our request was taken care. And provided us will an excellent package exceeding our expectations. Furthermore, we had a personal Chef - Fantastic fresh food hand cooked everyday. We were very well looked after. The driver of our vehicle was one of the best and made sure we not only had the safest trip but had one of the most thrilling and closest encounters with Animals.
Without hesitation I would recommend Kenya Walking Survivors Safaries. I don't think anyone can beat them in Quality, value and overall experience.
