Kenya with Kenya walking, great experience!
I visited Kenya in June first week with Kenya Walking and undoubtedly it was a great experience. Not only where are safaris amazing but the guides were extremely enthusiastic and helpful. I would also like to recommend Jacob who was our cook for the entire tour. I would go to the extent of saying that his food was far more delicious than our buffets in luxury hotels. Mr. Otieno was very helpful in suggesting us the best places to visit in our limited duration trip. Except a few organizational level issues(which i think is very common), there is nothing I can complain about. Overall it was an amazing experience! Cheers!

More than a dream come true.
I had planned our first trip to South Africa for more than a year. The adventure began at Madikwe Game Reserve. Would reality live up to expectation? Three days at Jamala Lodge exceeded everything we hoped for. The luxury, the impeccable service, the extraordinary food, and the incredible game viewing was everything a dream could be. We saw all of the Big 5, plus so much more, on our game drives -- elephants, buffalo, lion, both white and black rhino, giraffe, zebra, and an amazing array of all the antelope and deer that South Africa has to offer. We had a leopard walk by so close to our vehicle that I could have reached out and stroked its back. Equally amazing was sitting at the "sofa safari" on the deck of the lodge and watching this same array of wildlife wander down to the water hole. One morning at breakfast, a pride of five lion visited the water hole; one evening a leopard. Our final morning was capped with a visit by a white rhino at the water hole. Our first morning at the lodge began with an incredible roar of a lion awakening us at 3 a.m. Jamala Lodge, even though the price may seem expensive at first glance, is truly a bargain. An enormous chalet with bedroom looking out at the water hole, a beautiful bath, a plunge pool and totally private outdoor shower, a fully stocked (and included) mini bar, two three hour plus game drives a day with the best tracker one could hope for, and amazing food every day, throughout the day. All alcohol was included, and surprises every day with specialty cocktails presented at the end of an evening game drive. Madikwe Game Reserve, and Jamala Lodge will give you memories to treasure for the rest of your life.

Review about South Africa by dfross
South Africa provides everything one could hope for as a safari destination. Incredible beauty, both driving to and from the game reserves, as well as at the game reserves, and a diversity of wildlife that is beyond any expectation. The people of South Africa were so friendly, and English was spoken everywhere. Never once did I feel unsafe.

Authentic wildlife and photography safari in Ruaha National Park Tanzania
In the short time I was there we had an amazing safari, wildlife experiences and photography we're key on my list. Totally living up to my expectation's in every way, Wildlife Connection a conservation initiative with Paul and Hannah was really impressive. The concept of human and elephant conflict with local farmers to protect these magnificent animals is awesome and a must see while you are there.

Best Safari, Best Team!!!
I found Kanuth Safari on the Internet. It was one of many companies that I had approached. I quickly realized that this is the one - they were responding promptly and prepared an offer perfectly matching our needs. I immediately felt that I was speaking with a man, and not a “name.” Our choice of their company turned out to be excellent - we had a great time during our Tanzanian vacation. Private safari in the Selous Game Park surpassed our expectations. Additionally, Kanuth took care of us in Dar es Salaam, for which we are very grateful to them. We will certainly be recommending Kanuth at all possible Polish travel forums as a company and a person who meets all the expectations of the most discerning travelers!!! Kanuth, Tony and wonderful Nicko - thank you very much for the wonderful vacation. We wil meet in Northern parks soon! Today with full conviction and utmost joy we are recommending you to all our traveling friends! Asante sana :)

Great trip to the Northern circuit
In advance to our stay in Tanzania our intention was to go for a Safari trip, but we did not want to book in advance. So we went to Arusha and asked in the lodge to make contact to a recommended and well known tour operator. We met the staff of Quest Horizon at the lodge and described in a short meeting our expectations.
A tour which exactly met our expectations was offered to us, so we agreed to start on the following day to a private camping safari.
Early next morning we were picked up by our guide (Naiman) and the chef (Joseph). The car was full of equipment for the tour and we arrived well at our first destination. Naiman (holding a masters degree in wild life management) is a great driver and he guided us extremely well through the wild life of Tanzania. Any of our question (we asked millions of questions) was answered and we learned a lot.
During our game drives Joseph stayed at the camp and prepared very health and well tasting meals for us. We were impressed about the quality and taste of food, which we did not expect in the bush.
All in all we can say, that the stay overshoot our expectations and the team of Quest Horizon made a really unique experience for us.
Thank you very much!

We had the most wonderful time during our trip in one of the most amazing countries imaginable. South-Africa is in many ways the perfect travel destination with its jaw-droppingly beautiful nature and animals, diverse cultures, rich history, interesting cities and lovely people - and Tailor Made Safaris booked us the best possible 2 week-trip in which we could experience all these things. Although we've only seen a tiny part of the country (which is a bit unsatisfying, we must say), we've seen and done so many amazing things that it's hard to mention only a few of them.... Which is why we're going to urge you to see all of them. Here goes:
- The parks we've seen - Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, Tembe Elephant Park, iSimangaliso and Pilanesberg (which will soon be included in the TMS-travel package) for the indescribable (and sometimes very up-close) animal sightings and landscapes, the fantastic guides and delicious braai lunches. The safari-fever is very intoxicating, so make sure you have enough time on your hands and don't miss a single one of the parks, as they are all beautiful in their own way!
- Kosi Bay for the beautiful views and snorkelling, Ponta d'Ouro for the lush beach, the water activities and the sweet dogs you're certainly gonna want to take home with you.
- St. Lucia for the hippos and the hikes (take a walking safari through iSimangaliso, not to be missed!) and a Cultural Village tour, to get an introduction to the Zulu culture.
- Johannesburg for some unmissable insights on the rich and (very) recent history this country has gone through.
Tailor Made Safaris has made these amazing experiences possible and gave us the best service imaginable (with excellent accommodations, guides, tours and even a self-drive package including a personalized book!). We're certainly coming back to see the rest of the country and of course we will then be booking Tailor Made Safaris again. We suggest you do the same :)

A comprehensive, thoroughly enjoyable adventure through 4 national parks of Tanzania.
Earth Life Expeditions provided a comprehensive, detailed itererary within 24 hours of request including accommodations, timing and lengths of game drives and contact information for references. Any questions/clarifications were promptly addressed. Our guide was exceptional with great knowledge about every animal, big and small and a terrific ability to spot animals at great distances. Further, he was polite with a good sense of humor and maintained a clean vehicle. Accommodations were quite satisfactory. The Owner, Deo, provided a comprehensive overview of our Safari the first morning which was very helpful and a debrief on the last day so as to improve future safaris. We highly recommend Earth Life Expeditions.

Green Vegetation
I love the green plantation. I enjoyed my travel in Uganda. The country is so green and I was told that it’s called the pearl of Africa. My favorite part of the journey is when I met the gorillas these animals are so amazing, I saw the mother gorilla taking care of its little one and It reminded me of those days when my sister was young. Wow, a great journey!
