A Stellar Mobile Safari Company
All our communications with Unlimited Tours & Safaris were concise and timely. It's always a little worrisome to wire money to a company that you don't have a previous relationship with, but we did. We were not disappointed. Moses met us at the Maun airport and we never had any issues with either him or his company. We felt like we received even more than we paid for. For a tent safari, we found the conditions comfortable. Except for in the delta, we always slept on beds with nice linens that were changed each time we moved to another camp. Eddie, the chef, cooked varied and delicious meals even treating us with his favorite Botswana dishes one evening. Moses is a fabulous guide. He is easy company and an excellent tracker and spotter. Moses is also a photographer so he knew just how to position the safari vehicle for us to capture the best images. Moses arranged our itinerary so we visited six quite diverse parks scattered over Central Botswana. I highly recommend Unlimited Tours and Safaris.

The best of Pilanersberg!!!
As a couple we felt being at home as we had a blessed 3 nights Easter Holiday stay at Shepherd’s Tree Game Lodge and definitely it is treasured in our hearts as one of the best places in Pilanesberg. It is a perfect place to disconnect with noisy city life and reconnect nature. We blessed to have a warm and family member-like, experienced and knowledgeable ranger in the name of Darryn. It was astonishing to be in company of Darryn who taught us to sooth ourselves in the morning callings of the Pilensburg inhabitants whilst watching the beautiful African sunrise. Through his natural instinct and experience, we had close encounters with a lot of animals inclusive of cheaters, many rhinos with babies, lions, elephants, etc.
The kitchen and restaurant personnel were really at the top of their game. Our Saturday’s braai around a bonfire with the entertainment of local cultural performances turned to be a feast for the kings. Our game drives team including our guiding ranger Darryn were on one table, where we chatted, and shared stories and jokes.
Thanks to the beautiful and nice ladies Mary and Maserame for their magical hands which melted away our stresses during the full body and facial massages at Amani African Spa of the game lodge.
Our room was luxurious. All Shepherd’s personnel were friendly.
Advise to those addicted to social networks, leave your gadgets at home as network and especially Wi-Fi is scarcely available due to Lodge location.
Definitely, one day we will go back!!!

A very well planned, organised and informative trip. Malcolm put a lot of effort into the trip
The tour offered much more than what I had expected. Even with a few unforeseen weather related problems the tour was run smoothly and efficiently. Every day had its interesting and exciting moments. It was definitely value for money for this unique experience. The equipment supplied was all of top quality.

Enjoyed a short but great safari in Tsavo East!
I went on a 2-day safari trip to Tsavo east national park and Taita Hills. My tour guide was very knowledgeable about both the animals and the parks and genuinely a nice person (be sure to ask for him if your going to Tsavo!). Acommodation was amazing and from the lodge I could see animals roaming around just outside the facilities. I was able to see lions, elephants, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, ostriches impalas among other animals. Also fairly cheap compared to other operators.
5/5
I had a great experience with Hillman GMA. Very professional and fast responses via e-mail.

Wonderful Family Safari trip
I emailed several companies and somehow I narrowed it down to Sunny and one other company. The main reason I picked Sunny is because Jessica impressed me with her prompt replies every time I emailed her. She was very accommodating and answered every question that I had. Met her in person on day 1 and I knew that very minute that we will have a fantastic time. David was our official driver and guide during our 5 day Safari and like Jessica, he was very courteous, kind, and he made sure we had a safe, smooth and a worry free safari. David knew the parks really well and he took time to answer all our questions. He also happily shared his safari knowledge and experiences to us. My sincere thanks to Jessica and David for taking care of my family during our trip. We had an amazing trip and hope to be back again someday.

Review about Sabi Sand Game Reserve by Kathryn
We saw just about everything that could be seen by daylight: lions and leopards (almost daily), Africa wild dogs, spotted hyenas and their young, elephant herds, giraffes, rhinos, Cape buffalo, tortoises, hippos, giant land snails, dung beetles, baboons, vervet monkeys, half a dozen kinds of antelope, and birds galore. Only one crocodile because the river was dry. No cheetahs, which are less common there and difficult to spot because of the tree density.
Our &Beyond guides from Kirkman's Kamp were incredibly knowledgeable. They knew the mammals, birds, insects, plants. When they found out we were more interested in insects, plants and soil/geology than the average safari-goer, they made sure to point out more of these features and give us opportunities to discover.
It rained one of six game drives. The safari vehicles are open, so raincoats and ponchos were a must. Some people in our group opted not to go out, but we went and didn't regret it. The rains brought African wild dogs, and the rain was not cold so it wasn't too uncomfortable.
The other days were hot and dry (we went in March, late summer, in a drought year). That meant few mosquitos. We forgot about the heat when we were watching animals, and when the vehicles were moving we had a breeze.
In the private reserves, it's permitted to be out on game drives after dark. We did not do any specifically night drives, but drove back at dusk/nightfall on our afternoon safaris. We saw nightjars, the Southern constellations and a few other things.
Staying in a private reserve afforded us the opportunity to go off-road in appropriate conditions and meant few encounters with other safari vehicles. Because of this, we got closer/better viewing of lions, leopards, elephants and rhinos than we might have otherwise.
