Wonderful 3 night "Mopane" Canoe Camping Safari with Natureways along the Zambezi in Mana Pools.
I used Natureways 20 years ago in Mana Pools and always wanted to return. In Sept 2015 I did Everything about the canoe safari was great thanks to Guide Norman and Assistant Takesure. They were very safety conscious and great wildlife spotters. They really love the river and it shows. The tents, mat, and sleeping bag provided were of excellent quality. The food was good. The secluded island campsites were a highlight of the trip.

A Truly Unique Experience
Tracking gorillas in Bwindi was unlike any other travel experience I've had. Being just feet away from gorillas that could easily hurt you with a swipe or a toss was absolutely amazing. Since they are accustomed to humans watching them, and we had guides and security, at no moment was I fearful. Though the cost is very high for one hour of viewing, when you understand how many gorillas there are left in the world and where the money goes - it makes it all the more worthwhile. I stayed at Mahogany Springs resort right outside of the park, and it was amazing. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the hotel had a great food, was clean and the views were fantastic.
excellent national park. I wish I could stay much longer
Awesome scenery plc to be at . This Place I love. Xx

Review about Uganda by Holly E.
Uganda is an amazing place to view wildlife. In 5 days, I saw everything - chimps, gorillas, lions (and cubs), hippos, hyena, water buffalo, antelope, elephants, and tons of birds. Everyone I met was incredibly friendly and I felt completely safe with my guides... It is an incredible value - not nearly as expensive as other trips I researched.

Absolutely outstanding!
This was our first safari and was meant to be a once-in-a-lifetime holiday but we're already planning on coming back, and it couldn't possibly be with anyone other than Shaun and Moriti. Everyone was so welcoming and provided a first class service, Shaun was absolutely terrific from the first email to the last day. His knowledge is phenomenal, he's always there any time of the day or night and he's great fun to be with. We saw more than we ever expected and at a much closer range than we'd hoped. We arrived as strangers and left as great friends - and we can't wait to go back.

Good prices for a good service
I came down to Nairobi and wanted to go to Kilimanjaro and Baboon Budget Safaris took care of everything and I could go the next day which is good when you have limited with time.
They provided we with everything I needed, transport from Nairobi to Arusha, hotel, equipment for the trip, transport to Kilimanjaro, trekking guides etc. I had a really good time there and there organisation was good and standard as well. I was meeting other people on the mountain and they had payed more for exactly the same thing so I was satisfied with what I payed.
The last day I was altitude sick on the mountain so I needed to go down one day earlier and even that was taken care of. So I only have good experiences from my trip and I also recommended them to my friends who made a safari with them and they had the same experience.

Excellent Experience
We took a five day tour - 2 nights at Serengeti (Sopa Lodge); - 1 night at Ngorongoro (Soap Lodge) and 1 night at Lake Manyara (Serena Lodge).
Our Guide/Driver, Anderson, is a wonderful person, took great pains to spot animals and was full of enthusiasm.
At Serengeti, we saw plenty of Lions, Elephants, Cheetah & Leopards besides of course Zebras, Wildebeest, Buffaloes, Hyenas, Hippos and many more.
The Sopa lodge is the best, very luxurious, good food, good ambience, all facilities.
Ngorongoro is a "Must See Place". Andeson again took great pains to show us the maximum - Lions, Elephants, Cheetah, jackals, Hyenas, Rhino, etc.
Sopa Lodge is again the best place to stay here also.
Lake Manyara we saw Elephants, Hippos, Monitor Lizard, Baboons, etc.
Serena Lodge is the best option here. However, it is better if you stay the night at Ngorongoro only and move early morning to Lake Manyara and back to Arusha.
Thanks to Kilidove, we had a great time.

Overall a very good experience. We were very pleased with Tydon Safaris. Kathi Simon from the booking agency (Africa Welcome) was very good to deal with.
