Review about South Africa by JossieK
Undeniably great wildlife, nature, scenery and birding opportunities. South Africa is a very popular tourist destination, and as the world gets more populated and more and more people are able to afford overseas holidays it is very difficult not to see a lot of other tourists around, unless you are prepared to pay a lot more money for exclusive private game reserves/lodges.

Most amazing wonderful experience ever.
Professional Service
I was looking for a safe option as a solo female traveler for a 3 days trip to Murchison National Park. My choice of driver/guide Willy was great at executing his duties, always handy with all the answers I bombed him with, as well as a very steady driver.
The choice of accommodation Parkside Safari lodges was excellent with a fabulous of the Albert Nile section of the great river Nile, at the northern side of Murchison falls national park Tangi gate. I really enjoyed my 3 days trip.

Masihambe Afrika exceeded our expectations in all aspects!
Erika and Eugen want to thank Jude and our most competent guide Anthony for leading us to and through an unforgettable Namibia experience in July/August 2015. Masihambe Afrika is just excellent value for money spend! Hope we can go back to Afrika with Masihambe in the near future.

Great experience as allways
In september 2015 we had a fantastic trip again with Cul Tours and Safaris. It is the 10th time in the last five years we use Stevens company to get around in Uganda. This time we visited many craft groups and had a gamedrive in Murchison Falls National Park and were lucky to see a lion family. We can only recommend using Stephen and Cul Tours and Safaris as organizers, whether you plan your trip yourselves or let him do it. You can rely 100% on him. We come back next year.

Amazing adventure through North Tanzania with Northern Circuit Adventure
We had 6 amazing days during our trip with Northern Circuit Adventure. Micheal, the owner of the company, welcomed us on our arrival. Then we left for six days with our perfect crew made of Freddy, well advised and falcon eyed guide (with a diploma of Tsé Tsé fly hunting, you are safe with this guy !), and Sweetbart, our lovely and gifted cook. We completed the Big Five and met Masaai. The nights in the campsite inside the parks were very comfortable and full of surprises. We totally advise you to go for an adventure with them !

Wonderful camping safari
The safari was really great. Our driver Elias was a very good driver and guide. He was very skilled at spotting animals and knew all of them, including all the birds, which was very impressive! Sweetbart, our chef, was a very nice guy and cooked some delicious meals for us, even when we were at very remote places. The car was very spacious as we were supposed to be with 2 others, but they got delayed for some reason, so we had the whole jeep for ourselves! The camp sites were basic, but were at nice locations, a real wild life experience!
Michael, the manager, was also a really nice guy. He picked us up personally and really wanted to make sure that we had a nice trip.
We would definitely recommend Northern Circuit Adventure to anyone looking for a camping safari!

Adventure of a lifetime!!!
Michael was incredible! He personally picked us up from Arusha airport and after the safari, he arranged for us to be dropped off at a different airport that was an HOUR away (all complimentary)! We did a 5 day/4 night safari to Terengire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. The guide, Dennis, was incredible and very knowledgeable! The cook, Rodrick, was super sweet and made great meals! It was a bit colder in the morning than expected, so we recommend all future explorers to bring warm clothing. It gets really warm during the day though.
Overall wonderful experience and definitely the adventure of a lifetime! There are a LOT of safaris out there, but THIS IS THE ONE TO GO ON!!! :)

Best part of safari is the guide
I compared about 10 different safari operators and I picked Siku Njema because of Benson's willingness to work closely with me to plan a customized safari. Each time I sent a list of questions he carefully answered each one and this made me feel comfortable as we developed a plan. In addition to seeing Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West national parks, Benson added the following based on my personal interests: Masai Village, Kinondo village, primary school and sacred forrest, David Sheldwick elephant orphanage and drive through Mombasa. In addition to learning about the animals of East Africa, I wanted to learn about the people. I'm glad I chose a Kenyan guide who could translate Swahili and who could also engage deeply in conversation about our similarities and differences. Additionally, we lost our luggage and Bencon took us shopping to replace what we lost and worked every day toward recovering it for us. He just took care of us, whatever the need. I found this safari to be the most competitively priced while still staying in comfortable accommodations and I believe we got much more out of this experience than we would have if we had gone with a larger, more expensive tour operator. I added an extra person to the safari at the last minute and Benson was willing to make that happen at an extremely reasonable rate. It felt great to support someone who is self-made and had the courage to start his own small business. The smallness provided the flexibility we needed to truly make this experience our own. I can't imagine a safari without Benson leading the way.

A great experience again !
This trip was again a great experience with Tailor Made Safaris. The accomodations, vehicle, safaris and guides of Tailor Made were well organised again. We visited Drakensbergen, Ithala, Mkuze, St. Lucia, Hluhluwe and Kruger National Park. In Thendele Camp - Drakensbergen and Ntshondwe – Ithala the view from our lodge was incredible. The whole journey we have seen a lot of wild animals and birds. The service is excellent. It is realy a tailor made safari !
