Game Diversity
I have already been several times to Africa and always try to include Kwando or Linyanti areas to visit. This year it was a Lagoon Camp in Kwando Concession. Due to the combination of savanna, woodland and swamps you will be able to see a huge diversity of animals. It is one of places where you can see lions, leopards and cheetahs. And even the same day! And to crown it all a pack of wild dogs! The huge herds of buffalos are staying in this area as well attracting nomadic (without a pride) lions. The breeding herds of elephants crossing the Kwando river just beside your tent so you can watch them during the midday break. Diversity of animals just incredible. The two lodges (Lebala and Lagoon) of Kwando Safaris are very comfortable and have very professional and friendly stuff. What differs Kwando Safaris from other camps is the atmosphere! Plenty of jokes, traditional music and sincere people. You feel absolutely relaxed. I've been in both camps and can recommend the both of them. During my second safari (now I am planning sixth) I met one guy for whom it was already 16th safari and I asked him what is the best. And he answered: "That is it. Kwando Safaris is the best. Lebala is the best." But my favourite was Kwando Little Kwara (in Kwara Concession) and now I think it is Kwano Lagoon. So, it's up on you what you will choose. But with all those camps you will definitely choose the game!!
It was amazing to me and nice ,wish to be back soon.
Wildlife was excellent we found many migration.it was a little rain and sunny which was good .accommodation was good to sleep in the tent inside the bush.transport was excellent by mwema safaris they gave us a good land cruiser with tour guide we visited everywhere in massai mara we thank for that.

A amazing personal safari with i Dream of Africa
My boyfriend and I (both 29) were looking for a private guided tour where we could create our own itinerary. After doing some research, we found "I Dream of Africa" www.idreamofafrica.com through reviews on the internet. I Dream of Africa is a local Arusha based company, so you support a local company.
We corresponded through email (more than 50 J) and by thelephone with Christopher. Together we created a custom safari. Christopher, was our guide and driver throughout the 7 day safari, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. He shared much knowledge about the wildlife and environment. And he was always on the lookout for animals. Christopher knew how to approach the animals. Besided that, Christopher knows a lot about Tanzania and the economic and political issues in the country.
We experienced a lot of advantage of a private tour, such as:
- you can stay in one spot as long as you want.
- You don’t have a tidy schedule.
- You really experienced the wild life if you stay on the public campsite.
- During lunch and dinner you have time to discuss about things.
We stayed on the local camp sites in a tent. The facility are basic but very clean and the food prepared through the cook was very good, fresh and healthy. It was sublime to be out in the middle of nowhere listening to lions and elephants. They where only several hundred feet away. One time early in the morning there was a big family of 20 elephants just 100 meter in front of a camp site. It was amazing. We felt very safe and Christopher is really looking afther you.
We really recommend "I Dream of Africa" If you are looking for a interesting and personal safari. You will have a amazing experience with Christopher.

fantastic!
To say that it was a pleasure to work with Yvonne is an understatement. She handled the details of transfers and gave us personal attention and service. She worked with my budget and made our time at Victoria Falls relaxing, fun, and memorable. I am sure that I will be back in a few years. It's so nice to know that Yvonne can handle all the logistics.

Second time happy Tourists
This is the second time we have booked a holiday with Safarihub and again we have been very impressed from our initial discussion to creating a tailor made package. The Safari consultant was very helpful and knowledgeable and we appreciated a 5% discount as a goodwill gesture for a returning client. The holiday was perfect and met all our expectations and more.

Great service and helpful
The travel arrangements and itinerary suggested by Laurette (Pembury Tours) was excellent. The communications & response from Laurette was always prompt. She is patient and resourceful too; ensuring that our travel plans (with 2 young kids in tow) was well organised. I left an expensive jacket at one of the accommodation lodge and Laurette made all the necessary arrangements for it to be returned. Well done indeed!!
Our stay at Lalibela Game Reserves was excellent and the safari guide (Andrew) was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Our room was well adorned and all the meals were tasty too. The staff at Lalibela were courteous, friendly and thank you for making the trip a memorable one.
A great adventure
It was very well arranged. The drivers were punctual and very polite. The driver guide at Arusha was very skilled and very highly knowledgeable; the information he shared on the animals and roads were very helpful and accurate. His English was commendable and his enthusiasm was contagious.
The lodging at Serengeti and Ngorongoro were very good, clean rooms, excellent services, good food, although better at Ngorongoro that at Serengeti. The people were very friendly, polite and very helpful. The only issue I had was with the quality of the lunch box food that Serena Serengeti offered us. The lunch box included a piece of chicken and a piece of bread, among other things. However, the chicken, which was the main meal for the two following days I spent there, was extremely dry, left over from the night before and totally inedible! For the good service they provided, that issue was a shame!
The car that we drove was very old and needed a few repairs, and even though it was a strong car, yet it broke the muffler on the way at Ngorongoro, and the driver left me at the information center for the hour it needed to be repaired.
Despite the above, I thought the trip was excellent, well organized and the guide did a very fine job.
Thank you for your efforts.

excellent tour of Nairobi national park
I had a great experience with Africa travel waves. My driver/guide Tom was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and knew how to find them. Their pop-up roof Jeep was great, I had an awesome view of all the animals. Tom radioed with the other guides in the park and as a result we saw 4 lions, which was incredible. I can't recommend Africa travel waves highly enough. They were also more reasonably priced than the other options I researched.

Exceptional Safari with Timeless Travel Africa!
Thanks again to Paul again for organizing everything. We had a four day tour through Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. We were four friends (two couples) together with our cook Robert and our guide Ziddie. Robert made great food for us. There was plenty of soup, salads, fresh fruits, good meals,... Very tasty and none of us had any troubles, and thank you very much for planning for our extension to Zanzibar Island,ill get back to you all when we back home.
