Kilometers of nothing and yet it's own beauty and surprises waiting for you.
We had an awesome trip. We can't say it happened just around the next corner because the roads are so straight. Yet everything was there to see. Traveling up from Windhoek to Etosha and staying in star rated lodges with excellent food and scenery, was worth the long drives. As everything was pre-booked by Secret Namibia we didn't have the hassle of finding accommodation or searching on a map for the destination as it was all set out in the itinerary. Even though it was incredibly dry there was still a beauty about the country. We'll definitely be back to see the southern areas. We'll definitely pre-book and pre pay as well. Make a booking at Joe's Beer Garden in Windhoek!

Our trip to Kruger Park was beyond what we could imagine. we stayed at Kapama private reserve. we did many safaris. we could see all the animals we wanted to see. The service, the hotel and the overall experience were excellent and above our expectations. great trip that i would recommend to everyone.

Amazing experience. Each day was a surprise.
Tanzania was a wonderful surprise. We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Kilimanjaro waterfalls. Each place was amazing. My husband and I went in June, and the temperature in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro can be cool early in the morning and at night. It is advisable to bring some warm clothing to avoid getting cold. If you are going to visit the Kilimanjaro or Materuni Waterfalls, I highly recommend wearing shoes suitable for walking on dirt and mud. We went after a rainy day, and it was a bit difficult to walk.
If you want to buy handicrafts, remember to negotiate the price. It is better to buy handicrafts in Arusha rather than at the roadside markets between parks. If you have time, visit the Masai Market Center.
The people are very friendly and warm.
We traveled with the agency Ngekewa Safaris, and our guide Goodlove was excellent; he took great care of us the entire time.

Wonderful!
I’ve wanted to go on a safari since I knew what they were. I went on a 5 day trip with Bongan Safaris and loved it! I saw the Big 5 and many more. I also took a day trip to see Blyde Canyon, among other wonderful sites. Everyone I encountered in South Africa, from airport and hotel personnel to safari and game reserve employees, were so kind and helpful. This was one of my all time favorite vacations. I’d love to go back.

Review about Manyeleti Game Reserve by Colette
I loved my time here. We were able to off road and get relatively close to lions and a leopard. So exciting! I’d definitely go back again.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Paola Virrueta
The visit was spectacular!
We visited Ngorongoro at the end of June, and we had a cloudy and windy day, but that didn't stop us from seeing lions, elephants, hundreds of zebras, wildebeests, ostriches, and rhinos. Dress warmly if you go mid-year.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Paola Virrueta
Without a doubt, it was one of the best trips I've ever taken.
I was not only amazed by seeing and searching for animals but also by the natural beauty of the place. We were able to spend a night at Engiterata Adventure Camps, a beautiful place! At night, we heard lions and hyenas near the camp—it was amazing!
The camp staff prepared breakfast for us outdoors at dawn while we watched the sunrise.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Paola Virrueta
It was our first stop on the safari, where it was very easy to see a large family of elephants taking a bath, some giraffes, and many zebras. The park is very beginner-friendly for starting a safari.
It was beautiful!!!!
