Excellent personalised service for a holiday of a lifetime.
I was booking a holiday of a lifetime - spending a lot of money and wanting the best experience for it. I am based in the UK and it was great to have Skype calls to discuss exactly what we wanted to do and listen to recommendations and alternatives. Mark pulled together several options and followed up with details schedules over email. The final document included all sorts of tips and useful points to be suitably prepared for the reality of getting stuff done in Africa.
Mark and Janet met us at the airport in Maun on arrival to do a final check (and rescued me when a car I had been loaned decided to "die"). I had a last minute addition to make on the schedule which they were happy to get sorted for me.
Overall I was very happy to work with Gondwana Tours & Safaris. The accommodation was perfect, the transport went smoothly, the Safari Guides at each of the lodges were incredibly knowledgeable and we had a fantastic time. Now I have 1500 photos of the amazing wildlife and scenery of Botswana to edit so I will be reliving this holiday for some time to come. Many thanks to all at Gondwana Tours & Safari.

An Unbelievable Experience!
Our first trip to South Africa was arranged by Greatest Africa and we could not have been happier with our experience--it surpassed our wildest expectations. We visited 3 game reserves in 11 days. Everything was exceptional from the 2 daily safaris, the accommodations, food, staff and transfers between airports and reserves.
The staff at www.greatestafrica were prompt in returning emails and arranged a safari experience we will never forget. If you haven't been to Africa you must put it on your bucket list. Everyday there took my breath away!
We had a fantastic time.
There were 5 of us on our safari. Tom was our guide and driver and he was fantastic. We were able to see the big five plus much, much more. Selma was so good to work with and everything was as she had explained. I would highly recommend Makasa and Tom when you plan your safari.

Review about Inyati Game Reserve by Sin Yew
Many animals roam the area as it is next to a river.

The highlight of our South Africa Trip, extraordinary!
Me and my wife stayed at Inyati Game Private Game Lodge for 3D2N. The lodge is located near Sabi Sand where chances of Leopards sighting is known to be high. It is next to a river where we could see elephants strolling near the water in the comfort of the lodge cafe. The rangers and staffs were friendly and make you feel safe although the place was quite open to wilderness where animals were free to roam the ground. Our open top safari Jeep was ideal for us as it was easy for me to turn my 300mm telephoto lens mounted on a monopod toward any directions. Lions, leopards, Cheetahs, Hippos, buffalos, Giraffes, were among some of the animals sighted. Daylight was bright so I could get sharp close up images even for amateur like me. Highlight of our safari was watching a family of cheetahs in action hunting on Kudos in a wide open plain. Definitely in my bucket lists to come back again!
One of the best parks in Kenya to get up close with the wildlife
Easily accessible from Nairobi, Hell's Gate NP is a must for any visitor in Kenya. Bike past herds of Zebra before hiking through the Hells Gate Canyon.
A great family day out.

Review about South Africa by Sin Yew
Lots to see and experience from Cape Town to Cape of Good Hope to garden route, traveling on a coast from Atlantic to Indian Ocean. Variety of plants and animals for you to capture your memories!
Review about Kenya by Simon
Kenya is good, but the best place for a safari in Tanzania.

Awesome trip
CKC Tours was recommended by a good friend and I am happy I chose a safari for a real first African experience. John was very responsive and gave me all the necessary details. He took care of booking and transportation, and accompanied me to and from the airport. The location in Mara was more than I could have expected and Kipp, the driver on site, was excellent and very knowledgeable. I saw the Big Five and many other animals, and the experience was awesome. I would recommend John and his service to anyone looking for a unique experience and a professional service.

Quite the memorable vacation in Africa!
I took my family of four, including two teenagers to Victoria Falls, safaris and Cape Town. After doing a fair of amount of research, I opted for The Safari Partners to assist me in the planning and arranging of accommodations, transfers, flights, safaris, etc. Chris did a great job "tuning in" to what were the right choices in regards to the trip for my family and I. We all had a great and "memorable vacation in Africa"!
