Review about South Africa by Will Sweet
The best three months of my life were spent in South Africa. From the Cape to Kruger, everything is amazing. I saw over 350 species of birds, incredible mammals, and gorgeous views.

Review about South Africa by Denise
There were beautiful birds everywhere and we wished we were more knowledgeable about them.

3 day safari and 3 day beach Excellent holida
I have just returned home after a 2 week holiday in Tanzania visiting family and we did a 6 day trip with Eastco . It was not our first trip to East Africa nor will it be our last. We had previously been on safari so as we were visiting family in Tanzania we decided to do a 3 night visit to Tarangire staying at Boundary Hill Lodge and 3 nights on the beach at Tanga. Boundary Hill Lodge was excellent, plenty of wildlife especially birds. The lodge overlooking the savannah below was private, comfortable and the food excellent in the extreme.
We spent a day driving to Tanga from Tarangire and stayed at Eastco's camp right on the beach. What a beautiful spot. The tide in the morning went way out so if you wanted an early morning swim, a walk was required first.
On our last day there it rained all day, really heavy, but this didn't spoil the fun.
The highlights here would've been the walk around the village and the peace and quiet.
The tents were simple but for a beach holiday with sand everywhere what more do you need.
The drive down was interesting with stops at Moshi, Same and Segera. The children loved the fresh fruit bought by the roadside. All in all it was an excellent 6 day trip and Eastco did an excellent job. I work with a lady who has also visited East Africa with Eastco and they also had a fantastic trip.
Tanga is beautiful, and different.

Best safari possible
First rate communication, paid deposit on line very easily. Balance when we started our Safari.
The Land Cruiser was great - comfortable, open roof for standing, our guide was very knowledgeable of the animals, trees and birds. The overnight lodge accommodation was outstanding. Three fabulous days, saw all of the big 5 and all within a few metres. Didn't need the binoculars we bought. Will need a long time to review the hundreds of photographs

Great safari experience
Booked 6D/5N safari with Sunny Safaris on the recommendation of a friend who had used their services earlier and we were not disappointed. Our driver Hamisi was really helpful and knowledgeable and helped us spot animals (inc big 5) from a distance. He would drive to places where the other operators were not crowding and allow us to take pictures in peace. The transaction of booking the safari was quite easy (thanks to Masha and Ally). We were picked up from the airport and dropped back in time for our flights. The safari was well planned and the lodges were quite good. The food was great including packed lunches. Hamisi, our driver, was a safe driver and quite patient with us in terms of timings.
I would definitely recommend them!

The Greatest Life Experience By Far"
kenya ideal safaris and tours went miles beyond meeting our every expectation.Our safari took place in Nakuru and Maasai mara game reserve whereby we spent our five adventurous days.we did not know what to anticipate since this was our first safari.Our guide picked us up at the airport in Nairobi and drove us to the lake Nakuru national park.We immediately felt comfortable with our guide because he was personable,very knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor.
He took care of everything during safari.This included getting us checked in at the all the camps and lodges we had booked,taking care of our expenses at mealtimes,and most importantly transporting us on our search for the Big Five.We were fortunate to have seen all of the Big Five and much more.We also appreciated the beautiful scenery of the area and gained an appreciation for the delicate balance of the ecosystem.I found our guide to be extremely helpful by spending time advising us when and how to take good pictures.Turns out,he was quite a good photographer of his own right.
If you get a chance to take a safari,do so.You will not regret it.if you choose to do so,I highly recommend using Kenya ideal safaris.

Nice safari
We have now been on safari in the northern circuit two times this year with wild root and have not once been disappointed. Planned and communication via email works very well and fast og the itineraries given are very detailed. Also you are greated a day prior to your safari to check that everything is in order, all with the usual kind tanzanian hospitality. Furthermore they were able to suit our budgets accordingly.
Special praise to our guide Raymond whom we travelled with both times.
Very recommendable. So much that we know also have book spice tour and trip to prison island, on Zanzibar with wild root!

This was the perfect ever honey moon any given couple will enjoy ( margical Retreats your the best)
Got marred on the 17th Oct 2015 and Magical Retreat ( Pamela) had the perfect honeymoon planed for my wife and I to enjoy. Waking up on the 18th Oct there we hard out tour guide/driver Mr. Livingstone Masagha waiting for us to start the trip to Masai Mara where he was so accommodative in everything and telling us how we will enjoy the trip. Pamela keep in mind that you do have the best person there with you if you do remember we did ask you about the road because of the condition of my wife so Mr. Masagha did everything we asked him even driving @ 10kph if it had to. Please pass my regards to him and tell him thank you so much for all he did for us we can never repay all his kindness first day in Mara and he made sure my wife did see all the BIG 5 that she has always dreamed of. Thank you so much and now I do promise that coming year 2016 definitely we will be bringing our son to enjoy Kenya also so keep us on your schedule.

Rosalia and Charles.
