Good introduction to Safari from JNB
Found on the Internet, Go Safari has from the beginning been very helpful with lots of information.
The Pilanesberg park is a very good solution if you are on a business trip and want to get the feeling of wildlife close to JNB.
Combined with the elephant experience in the morning and you have a very good idea of what could be a longer stay in the region. Thanks again to Susan & Glenn

Enjoyable and smooth PIlanesberg Safari
I enjoyed the the Pilanesberg safari. Joseph was a kind, knowledgeable guide. The open game drive was a good experience. Saw lots of game, esp buffalo. Accommodation was comfortable and the food was good. All in all a positive experience
Experience of a lifetime!
I went on Safari with Ibrah's company in early 2012 while I was volunteering in Moshi. My travel buddy and I took a 5 day safari. We were ably escorted for the trip by a very entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide, and quite frankly incredibly talented cook (I can still taste the amazing curry pizza!). It was an incredible experience, we saw all the 'Big Five' animals and camped in the middle of the Serengeti, and on the edge of Ngorangora Crater (which is the closest thing to the Garden of Eden I have seen).
I have no hesitation in recommending Ibrah and his company.

Great safari in great company
We (couple from Belgium) had a seven day long safari with Malengo Tours. Communication with us upfront was very good. We initally were unsure about paying half the safari price upfront, but as this is the common practice (the operator needs to book some places in advance) and the reviews of Malengo Tours seem positive, we went forward with this safari operator.
We were very pleased with the safari. Bakari, Amani and Milka were wonderful company. They contributed to making this experience smooth and pleasureful. The driver and wild animal guide managed to find the hidings of some wild animals such as lions and hyenas. We saw elephants, giraffes, impallas, gnoos, buffalos, lions, hyena and others.
Accommodation and breakfast, lunch and dinner were well prepared. Half of the time, it was the they who prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner (good cooking skills). We were a bit disappointed by the food offered by the hotels were the crew could not prepare lunch and breakfast for us, but that is independent of the safari operator.
Overall very satisfied by the experience with Malengo Tours.

Incredible adventurous trip with specialist insight
Their local knowledge and specialist insight made for a once in a lifetime Safari. Its worth including their research and conservation experiences, especially for photographers.
A great team that dealt with every aspect of our request. They made changes and provided advise that really added to the experience. We also loved the welcome at the airstrip - they know how to set the tone of a Safari.

Discover Africa organized a perfect Botswana safari for us
It took one e-mail to Discover Africa (very friendly and competent staff), one phone call for details and one phone call for minor modifications and in the end we had a perfect holiday experience - a magical Botswana safari as they titled it.
The self-driving tour (4x4 camper) included Kalahari, the pans, Okavango, Victoria falls, Tuli block. In detail we have been at some fantastic spots we would have missed without their recommendations. The pre-organized accommodation (on campgrounds in our camper, in tented camps, in hotels and in luxury safari lodges) turned out as a mixture tailored to us.
Summary: Discover Africa organized a perfect trip for us.

A once in a lifetime experience
I spent a lot of time researching safari options, operators, places and times to visit the myriad of countries available in Africa. I wanted to to strike off the big 5, but also experience some of the things you may not get doing mainstream. When I approached African Legends (I had sent requests to a number of operators) I was pleasantly surprised by the timeliness of the responses, and the fact they tailored a safari for me based on my unique set of requests and circumstances. I was not interested in sharing a vehicle, and given where I was working (South Sudan), I had asked for something a bit more upmarket to allow some R and R. Up front, African Legends delivered on everything, and I was overwhelmed with my experience. I had only one hiccup at the start regarding an airport pick up, but that was a minor and easily sorted. I spent 7 days in Tanazania and thoroughly enjoyed myself. My guide was friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating. The standard of meals and accommodation was excellent, and there was nothing left to chance throughout. The images I took during my week hang proudly on my wall and it is a constant reminder of that once in a lifetime experience. I would whole heartedly recommend African Legends to anyone looking for a personalised end to end experience. I could not be happier with my time, and if I had the opportunity again, I would actively seek them out to fulfill my travel requests.
