Great value for money tour operator
I have personally used Safari Care and also recommended to friends when coming to visit Tanzania. Kamal is always very helpful and easy to work with. He has always found accommodation that suits my needs within my budget. The guides he uses are always experienced and very knowledgeable. The cars are up to date and always very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Great Service, Great Staff and Great Safari
From the moment I made contact with Ken, his level of service was excellent. He was continually in contact with us throughout our safari which made us feel very important!
Our driver Pete was always very accommodating and punctual. His knowledge of the wildlife was very good. He even gave every one of us a free 1.5 hour massage to and from the Masai Mara National Park (a reference to the last 80kms of unsealed road before you get to the park - hahaha). Thanks Pete!
Overall, our safari was something my family will remember fondly forever :-) It was fantastic!

Wonderful People, Lots of Animals
Nxai Pan was especially wonderful. The people at the lodges were very friendly and kind. The guides & trackers were amazingly knowledgeable, and they were lots of fun to be with. We saw lions at both Nxai Pan and Lebala. Guides at both sites were very diligent in finding animals for us to see. Truly, everyone was very nice. I would definitely go again.

This is average to other parks - need to get more predators

Review about Kruger National Park by Henk Pretorius
Love it - grew up in this area
Unique (semi-dessert), beautifull, majestic (the canion and falls) and a must.
Scenery: Absolutely beautiful. It is unique - a must see. The falls and canyon is majestic.
Weather: In December it is quite warm (45 Celsius degrees), but this allows for different activities such as swimming. Although warm the weather was pleasant.
Wildlife: Unique to other parts in South Africa. You really have to search for wildlife in this semi-dessert area, but when you find something it is worth the search.
Accommodation: We went camping. The facilities were good for camping and every evening we enjoyed sitting next to a camp fire, feeling part of nature. Baboons, "dassies" various and kinds of less dangerous wildlife strolled through the camp site. There are 2-3 swimming pools and every morning and evening we watched the sun coming up or setting over the canyon. The colours at this time of the morning or evening are beautiful.
Transportation: We had our own transportation. I would recommend traveling in groups, because when you get engine problems or a puncture, it might be a problem to be alone in the semi-dessert and almost deserted area. Also have enough water with you in the heat. We got a slow puncture - luckily at the camp staff assisted us to change the wheel and recommended places where we could fix the tyre.
Food: Decent. There is a small shop in which you can buy all the necessities. Don't expect a supermarket, but the shop is clean, neat and the food is good. The shop have all the basic household, food, magazines and cleaning stuff. There is also sweets and cold drinks. everything that you could expect.
Restaurant: Not 5 star, but excellent. You will not be disappointed. There is also a bar in the restaurant if the heat gets to much. We spend all our afternoons either in the bar, having light drinks or in the swimming pool cooling down.
Highlights: The canyon and the falls (scenery), the unique wildlife that you can only expect in these area and the numerous hiking trails and viewpoints looking out over this beautiful scenery. The swimming pools in this warm weather were also a high light. A place to really get rest for your soul.

Review about South Africa by Henk Pretorius
There scenery is exceptional... I am not so much in birding, so I could have a total different view of this compared to someone who is in birding. Nature and wildlife is unique and beautiful - a must see.
