A gorgeous place with wonderful people.
The Makoa farm is again and again the destiantion of my travels. Meanwhile, I visited this special place four times. The people are incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is very familiar. The many possible activities make every visit to be something special. The hosts try to make every wish come true and organize a special program for everybody. In addition to riding and horseback safaris there are a lot of things to do. For example a monkey walk with some of the baby and teen monkeys, watching fruit bats in a cave, take a jeep or walking safari in nearby Arusha Park, visit a giant turtle, explore the village or the market in Moshi , take a bath in the Hot Springs and many, many more. The accommodation is gorgeous (early morning tea or coffee in the bed or on the terrace overlooking Kilimanjaro) and the food is phenomenal. Both riders and non-riders could have very special days (or weeks..) on that place.

Great Tour Company, thrilling gorilla trekking in the mist in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
I and my friends were overwhelmed by the exhilarating tour to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Under Charis Uganda Safaris Ltd, we went to Trek the gentle giant - the mountain Gorilla - we were professionally handled by our tour guide Joseph Olupot who was friendly and helpful. The Gorilla Trekking was well organised and the park rangers were magnificent. Should you desire to have a great experience while on holiday, consider Uganda and Charis Uganda Safaris Ltd,you will not regret your decision.

Amazing honeymoon! Safari and Beach combination
We were really, really impressed with Africa Odyssey. They knew exactly what to do for us and got the itinerary spot on. There is so much choice and it's so confusing but Dave, our consultant, made the perfect trip for us. We saw incredible animal sightings. All the predators and antelope! Our beach lodge was breathtaking and exactly what we wanted after a safari.

Awesome Amboseli Trip
I wish to congratulate Helinas Safari for their good work, My family and l visited Amboseli and we had a beautiful tym, went for game drive and it was lots of fun. The hotel was 5* with excellent Service and plenty of delicacies. We dnt mind taking another tour with Helinas Safari cos we found it very easy to travel as all arrangements were made on our behalf and ours was only to present ourselves. On behalf of my Family l'd wish to congratulate the Helinas and Pray that God blesses them as they save Families the trouble of planning Safaris. For those who only see Helinas Safari adverts and nvr bother to knw what they do as l used to, kindly give them a call to find out abt their packages and you'll be surprised how easy they'll make your travel.

Panoramic, Animal Interaction & Kruger
My sister and I went on safari with Andy and Bubezi and had spectacular time. We did the 6-Day Family Panoramic, Animal Interaction & Kruger Park and then added a visit to Moholoholo Wildlife Rehab and an extra day in Kruger. Andy was fantastic in responding to my endless emails. I think we exchanged 20+ emails prior to the trip. The advantage with booking with a small company, like Bubezi, is the personal touch. Andy has the knowledge, passion, warmth, and sense of humor that make for an ideal guide. He took us to different sections of Kruger each day and saw the many different biomes that make up the park. We also got to experience stopping at the other camps in Kruger for meals, bathroom breaks, and the museums.
Andy met us at the airport in Johannesburg with a sign with our names on it and then drove us in his SUV to the Protea Hotel Centurion for the first night. If was a beautiful hotel with an excellent restaurant. The next day we drove the Panoramic route. The highlights were God's Windows, Bourke's Luck Potholes, and the three Rondavels. We arrived at Tshukudu Private Game Reserve and saw Rhinos right in front of the camp! That evening we went on a sundown safari and ended up walking with Entombe the cheetah. She let us pet her and drank water from our hands then we walked with her for almost an hour. The next day we went on the walking safari and saw the two cheetah brothers with a freshly killed impala. We got to watch them eat from 15 feet away. It was breathtaking.
We then proceeded to Kruger where we swapped out the SUV for an open-sided safari vehicle. We spent two nights at Satara Camp and two at Skukuza Camp. Both camps had excellent restaurants, Mug and Bean and Cattlemen Steakhouse respectively. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. They were were lovely cottages with thatched roofs and had excellent air conditioning. We also saw numerous animals inside the camp; warthogs, vervet monkeys, African wild cats, and small antelope. When we went out into Kruger we saw the Big 5, which included lions walking right in front of our vehicle, a herd of several hundred buffalo, baby elephants, and a bull elephant in musht. We also had close sightings of hyena and the critically endangered ground hornbill. Our last day we went to Hazyview Elephant sanctuary. We got to interact with large bull elephant named Casper. We got to touch his ears, tail, elbows, trunk, and tongue. We then got to walk hand in trunk with him.
Andy was a fantastic guide and host and made our vacation memories last a lifetime. I would highly recommend Andy and Bubezi Safaris to everyone.
