relaxing nonexpensive luxury sarari tour
I join the 3-Day Madikwe Luxury Safari tour in April 2016 and find the trip very relaxing and enjoyable. The arrangement of Safari with us is good starting from the helping of booking subsequent day trip and hotel in Johannesburg .
The 2 of us were picked up by a friendly driver in the airport at good time . then drive in a private car directly to our lodging place in Madikwe in 3+ hours.( a bit far away ) . We have a break half way for some snack.
The guest house , namely“ Bush House” is great which is a small bungalow type of building housing up to ~18 guests.
I love the rich green grassland in the front of the courtyard, the small yet clean swimming pool and the underground hide next to a fresh water pond that you can watch in close proximity the elephants, buffalos that came to drink many times a day.
The breakfast , and dinner are of good quality and the morning and evening game drive is exciting yet relaxing .
I was impressed with the special floral arrangement and preparation of cake for our wedding anniversary .For the cerebration dinner , two of us spend a romatic night sitting under the moon beside the courtyard with animals in sight not too far away.
Both of us like the trip very much and hope we can return some years later .

An amazing experience and one I will cherish forever
Though there was some communication delays between myself and Wildebeestsafaris prior to my departure, I was able to obtain all the information I needed and had few issues.
My Safari guide, Dennis; was exceptional. He did not rush me through my experience. Was in communication with other guides on great photo ops and answered all of my questions.
On the way to and from the Nature Reserve, though it is part of the tourist business to stop for breaks at gift shop areas, he did not pressure me in doing so. On the trip back he even asked if I wanted to visit anymore shops.
We had some vehicle issues on the way back to Nairobi and had to stop in a town to get it fixed. Actually ended up being part of the whole experience. got to People watch for an hour or so and mingle a little with the locals.
The Safari was on my bucket list and I am glad I got to mark it off. I would surely put it back into my bucket so I could do another one in the future.
Wonderful experience and again, Dennis was an amazing guide

Trip of a lifetime
Thanks to Masihambe Afrika for guiding us through this most beautiful country. Our expectations were exceeded on every level from how close we were to the wildlife to the diverse beauty of the country and the wonderful people we met along the way. The local and animal knowledge of our guide Anthony was amazing and the stories he could tell kept us entertained around the fire at night. The food, the accommodations and the transport all excellent value for money. For anyone wanting the ultimate holiday adventure just sit back, relax and enjoy this spectacular country knowing that Masihambe Afrika will have every detail of your itinerary planned to the “T”.

i was glad i went there
From the early booking stage our trip was superbly managed by Safarihub and the service and organisation on the ground in Zimbabwe was generally very good.
The excellent hospitality and superb guiding, together with the warm welcome extended by the local people, made this an unforgettable experience and we would not hesitate to return to Zimbabwe. Of the 3 camps we stayed in, the 2 run by Safarihub provided a good level of overall comfort, despite their somewhat corporate feel, and still retained a genuine bush feel.
Rhino Safari Camp was somewhat disappointing and seemed to reflect the current run down situation in Matusadona.
We were approached several times, by fellow travellers, concerning the matter of "tips" and as we have found on previous safaris this remains a contentious issue. What is too much and what is too little?? Your guidelines suggest one thing and the camps have their own suggestions........
Overall we felt that we had a good value holiday.

Fantastic Operator
I was lucky to go on safari to the Maasai mara in Kenya courtesy of first choice tours and travel whom we had booked with. First and foremost the operator has fantastic and well thought out travel packages catering to all market segments with the flexibility of developing bespoke safari packages on demand.
Additionally the booking and payment processes were consequently easy and efficient enabling a real customer experience from the onset.
In regards to the safari i must say that it was an unforgettable experience. I am still "processing" the huge set of incredible pictures we were lucky to take thanks to the amazing staff and super-guide who remained friendly and always cheerful.
I recommend them to any one who wants to visit Kenya for a safari. They couldn't be better!

Excellent Trip
Our guide, Emmanuel, seemed to know everything about the parks. He speaks perfect English, along with several other languages, so we had great conversation as well. He knew exactly where to find any type of animal that we were looking for that day, he was very patient with us for the entire trip and was flexible to change plans if we decided we wanted to see something else on any given day. We also felt very safe with these guys. I would definitely recommend them to any of my family and friends.

Great value, amazing safari- saw the big 5 plus more! Guides were all great! Also went to Zanzibar.
My wife and I went on a 4 day safari with Regional Tours and then we went to Zanzibar for 4 days (also through Regional). We could not recommend Regional Tours more! Throughout the entire experience the logistical process was easy and strait forward. We used a credit card to pay (with an additional %5 for fees) and everything went smoothly. We were greeted at the airport in Kilimanjaro by our guide, Emmanuel, and from the beginning everything was taken care of!
He was our guide for the Safari portion of our trip and he was amazing. His English was great and he was an expert on the ecology and biology of the three locations (Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorogora Crater and Serengeti National Park). He was very educated and an experienced guide. He was respectful of the animals and he somehow always found the best viewing locations of the animals (we saw the Big 5 plus a lion hunt of a wildebeest). We would highly recommend him for your safari.
Our transition to Zanzibar was organized by Regional Tours and it was flawless. We took a small plane directly from the Serengeti to Arusha and then from Arusha to Zanzibar. We arrived in Zanzibar and we were welcomed by Regional staff (Omar) and he took us strait to our hotel with no problems (Blue Bay). Per our agreement, we were at Blue Bay for 3 nights and for an additional payment (negotiated upon arrival- fair price) we went to a spice farm and visited Stone Town. Everything was smooth.
This was a great way to relax after a safari. Would recommend Regional Tours for everything! What an incredible trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar! We hope to return someday.
