Highly recommend--Amazing experience (from Minnesota,USA)
My daughter and I are from Rochester, Minnesota, USA and had an amazing experience with Bestday Safaris. We chose to do the 3 day and 2 night safari (Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara, and Tanganire), and Peter was very good at emailing with us and catering to our needs. We saw so many incredible animals (elephants--very close and we saw them bathing too--, zebras, baboons, wildebeest, lions, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, ostriches, warthogs, various colorful birds, and rodents too) and we got very close too. Being from a place with a climate very different than Africa's it was all very beautiful and interesting and our guide Godfrey was great at helping us learn about the climate. Godfrey had the best eye and would be able to spot an animal miles away; he was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a VERY GOOD driver. Our experience couldn't have been better with Bestday Safaris and we would recommend it to anyone and everyone; so if you are deciding between some, choose this one, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent wildlife viewing at Hluhluwe-Imfolozi...elephants galore!
I've been to Hluhluwe-Imfolozi 2 years in a row while staying at a lodge nearby. It's a fantastic park with lots and lots of roads to explore. The traffic isn't light, but it's not super crowded, there's definitely places where you can find animals/birds on your own and feel like you're completely isolated.
I was able to watch the large herd of elephants moving through the park one morning for 30-45 minutes. I saw maybe 200+ elephants all together.

Elephants paradise
It was the first of 8 parks we visited in Africa, and also the first Safari we've done. We didn't know what to expect, but we knew that we weren't going to find any lions or rinohs. As we were newbies we found really exciting meeting a lot of monkeys from a really short range, then we came across diferent groups of hervibors such as Impalas, Topis and some other horned ones. But the best thing of this park are by far the Elephants. We got to see a lot of diferent groups, playing in the small rivers, walking from the water to the shadows of the baobabs, they don't seem to care about the few vehicles in the roads, they were walking just beside us, it was really beatifull.
Ah, watch out with the tsetse fly, they bite quite hard.

Review about Selous Game Reserve by Mieke Verschueren, Belgium
Because we were before in Serengenti, we had seen there everything, so Selous was for us rather poor

Review about Sabi Sand Game Reserve by Amy
We had great wildlife sightings in Sabi Sands, including a very close encounter with a pair of mating leopards! Incredible!
We did find that we saw more people and safari trucks than in Timbavati, and therefore the "bush vibe" is not the same. We felt more "in the wild" in Timbavati.
The game viewing was fantastic. We had close encounters with elephants, lions eating a kill, rhinos with a calf, and even saw a pair of leopards mating - right beside the Land Rover! We did have one quiet game drive, which goes to show you that the animals are wildlife, and nature is unpredictable. But our guide was determined to get us a close encounter with a leopard, and during the last hour of hour final drive, we sure did!!! Other highlights included sundowners (cocktails at sunset in the bush), and wild life viewing right from the dining area (some a little too close!!).
