Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by Gary Longshaw
Being nearer to the Coast, it is a more humid climate, and thick vegetation can make game viewing a bit of a challenge. Facilities are a bit meagre compared to some other reserves, but on the whole it is a great breakaway destination and gives that full Night in the Bush feeling.

Always an amazing experience that keeps me coming back year after year
This was about my 20th holiday in the Kruger National park. In the space of 4 days we got close up and personal with the entire Big 5, and more, and experienced the true beauty of wild Africa at its best. This place never fails to impress me, Ive been coming here since I was a child, and will continue to return as often as I can for as long as I am able to do so.

Amaizing
Everything where very good! One night it was very very cold. But otherwise it was good. I will recommend the park to all our friends. We saw lots of lions, cheetha and other animals. The food in the Restaurant at Twee rivieren were excellent. The restrooms were clean all the time. We have a great time!

Review about Tanzania by ssilberman
The variety of the landscape and the extensive wildlife was amazing. We had time to enjoy all of them --- the smallest animals -- field mice and birds --- to the elephants and the predators... This IS your life dream. Don't miss it.

Truly holiday of a lifetime can't wait to go back
Was wonderful feeling at one with nature away from all of life stresses . Waking to a beautiful sunrise and listening to all the sounds of nature from your own verandah every morning followed by a delicious breakfast served by staff with the biggest smiles and then on to an amazing safari . From dung beetles to the graceful giraffes elephants and lions we saw so much it was incredible . The guides were very informative and great fun too. All the staff were so friendly and helpful ,food was amazing .Definitely recommend tent with a view if you are looking for holiday of a lifetime . Truly wonderful .

Awesome Botswana Adventure
We are retired, have always enjoyed the outdoors/camping/hiking, have traveled internationally for pleasure (much of Europe, China) during the last 14 years. We have always developed our own itineraries, made our arrangements based on budget and have never gone with a group or tour. We had thought about an African Safari, but because of the potential high cost and the thought of being on a tour with luxury accommodations, etc., we had never seriously considered one. When we decided it was the time for an African Safari (no specific
country) we knew it could not be on our own and we knew for us, that it needed to be hands on basic camping, focusing on adventure and wildlife vs luxury accommodations.
We researched many small Africa based tour operators that offered various levels of participation safaris. We made a list, emailed and spoke to several...all were friendly. Safari Bookings was one of the very helpful resources we used for our search. After reading the reviews of Anthony and his trips, emails/conversations with him, we felt he was the one that would provide the type of African Safari adventure we wanted. He was articulate, knowledgeable (degree in Biology), passionate about Africa, its wildlife, and life in the bush.
Based on our timing and interests, Anthony put together a 15 day Botswana itinerary using his
experience and knowledge of the weather and wildlife viewing in October.
Our Botswana adventure was all that we wanted/hoped it would be and more. It was basic hands on camping, good food based on our requests, fantastic game viewing, great learning experiences, and exposure to the local people and cultures. Anthony works hard to make each of his trips a unique, passionate, personal experience for his guests...nothing cookie cutter about his safaris. We had great game viewing, amazing close encounters with different animals...and we always felt safe and secure. His knowledge and experience in the bush quickly instills confidence.
We are hoping to schedule another hands on, real deal adventure with Anthony in the very near future.
