Walter has always been an excellent communicator and has supported us fully
We have been to Africa for 24 of the last 27 years so know a bit about what is involved.
Walter has arranged the details for the last couple of years, and has done a superb job. He is always quick to respond and comes up with answers immediately........no evasive tactics, always head-on!
This year we went back to Luangwa and had a terrific six days there. It was very dry so a slightly different environment than in past years when we have found October to be more conducive to wildlife viewing.
Walter couldn't have done more for us!

5 Day Safari
We were advised and chose the 5 Day Safari as it gave us a chance to go to three parks Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoru and spend a decent amount of time in them taking into account the amount of time it takes on the road to go between the parks and Moshi.
The guide Ally was fantastic and managed to push in wherever possible so we managed to see an amazing amount of game , including the Leopard and the Leopard Tortoise. He taught my Daughters swahili so well that they knew more after a week that I did after 10 weeks. The converted Landrover Defender transport for 4 was very comfortable and gave a great view especially when the roof was open.
The rates were good , head office staff gave great advice as to where to go afterwards and rented us the Landrover for another 7 days.
All in all my family had the trip of a life time from to vastness of the Serengeti to the beaches of Pangani.

High Quality Safari!
We had a 6 days safari with Savannah Explorers. Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Serengeti.
All this with a pretty amazing tour guide who was fluent in English and Italian. Althoug we can't give Savannah Explorers the credit for the wildlife and the national park we can most certainly say that the preparation and planning of the safari as well as its execution have been flawless. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

excellent service from the first day of contact to the day we left Tanzania.
We can recommend Gosheni Safaris for its excellent service. We contacted with Gosheni by e-mail and from the first momento they offered us different alternatives deppending on our Budget. Payment was not a problem, we paid 30% to confirm the safari and the rest directly on arrival. The car was completely new (only 4500 km) and the guide Fuah that was with us during 7 days was the best guide we ever had, with excellent Spanish and really good knowledge of all the animals and places. We had an unlimited millage safari and Fuah was always happy to answer to our questions and trying his best to find the BIG FIVE and he did not stot until we saw them !! Hotels were also very good and picnics excellent, even some days they suprised us with some wine. We had unlimited water and sodas during the safari. Special thanks to Fuah for this unforgettable week !!

3-Day Maasai Mara Safari
Overall, my friend and I had an amazing safari with ACZ. Everything was perfect from pick up to accommodation to the safari itself. The price, $300, was also remarkable (most safaris charge from $350-500). Our tour guide, Freddy, was very informative and friendly. We had six people in the van, but everyone had a window seat so it worked out well. We saw a ton of animals including lions, baby simbas, elephants, giraffes, hippos, leopards, cheetahs, and more! I would recommend booking with ACZ!

Had a great experience.
There is nothing like a soul, they had to invent that word to explain how you survive after death, that is why they would say go by your gut or the heart feels, before there was enough research to understand everything about consciousness happens in the brain.

Boy Hood Dream and Bucket List Number 1
Wow were do I begin. This trip had been 53 years in the making. A boyhood dream and number 1 on my bucket list. It had only ever been a dream, and always seemed out of reach for me. From visiting and taking photos of animals only ever in Australian zoos and parks. It seemed I was only ever going to continue to do this. Well 2016 was the year the stars aligned and in Sept I was winging my way across the country to South Africa to do a photographic tour with African Big 5 Safaris. Like I guess a lot of people I was extremely apprehensive of what I might see, and what might occur, was it safe. After arriving at Skukuza, I was met by Lourens and Armand who gave us the safety brief. After leaving the airport literally within 10 minutes into KNP we had seen 3 of the big 5. From then on it did not stop around every corner there was something different, and unexpected it was overwhelming. From watching a pride of 20 lions and their cubs playing with the sun setting behind them in an African creek line on my birthday will be a memory I will never forget it is etched in my memory. Watching a leopard with an impala kill in a tree for several hours come down out of the tree and come and then sit less than 5 metres away from our car, it was that close that my camera gear struggled to focus. Travelling to see my favourite of the big cats the cheetah and a cub playing in its natural environment right in front of me. Then watching a pack of hunting dogs come out of creek line after a kill and run along side us for several kilometres while we were in the middle of them. Is this all real, was I in a dream. Then sitting by a creek line watching, crocodiles, elephants and buffalo interact, while taking photos of a lilac breasted roller on a branch, then have two giraffe run behind you playing less then 20 metres away. Ok now down to the southern end of the park, to witness white rhino roaming freely when will it stop? Unfortunately the last day had arrived, I did not want this to stop, and as we were making our way back up to the airport we had to stop in the middle of the road as a herd of 40 elephants and their young trumpeted, played and looked for food surrounded our vehicle less than 10 metres away. Then as a last thing stopping on the causeway back to the airport for 10 minutes and just watching hippo, elephants, buffalo, impala, vultures in the creek line and the sound of silence. The trip was overwhelming and it met all my expectations and then some, from the smooth booking, process and flights to the pick up at the airport. To the stupid questions I constantly was asking Lourens before the trip being answered promptly even while he was conducting other safaris. To the effort these guys took to locate animals and get the vehicles in the right spot for the best photo possible oppurtunity, without causing stress to the animals at any stage. I know they were enjoying it just us much as we were. They were extremely professional in every thing they did. Meals and accommodation was wonderful, and at know stage did we want for anything. Helping with photographic tips and improvement was wonderful as well as the gimpro attached to the vehicles. I now have 5500 photos to process. So to finish up would I travel with Big 5 African Safaris again absolutely, they were professional in everything that they did. The safety of their guests and the animals was always paramount. If at any stage you have thought about doing an African Safari do not put it off just do it. I have be bitten badly by the African experience and am trying to get back as soon as possible and am planning my next trip as soon as possible.
But in the meantime I have 5000 plus photos to remind me every day of my time in Africa with African Big 5 Safari's, thank-you guys for making a boyhood dream and number 1 on my bucket list come true. I will be for ever happy and grateful for the memories and experience you showed me.
Best in Botswana
Amazing sightings - Leopards, Lions, Wild Dogs, Elephants, Hippos, Crocs, Antelope, Birds etc etc etc.
On my trip to Botswana I visited the Okavango Delta, Chobe and Moremi. As much as the other places were great, Moremi was certainly the best for wildlife. Not only was there lots of variety, you could get close to the animals so its great for photography. I'd always wanted to see a leopard in a tree and a leopard with a kill and I got both of these in one day. Another day it was lions swimming across a river, another day was a pack of Wild Dogs running along the river banks. So much to see and so much beauty, I fully recommend visiting Moremi GR.
