It was Good, but there the experience was good. there was a delay in picking up from the hotel.
The experience was good. There was a delay in picking up from the hotel. So, the use of facilities at Lions Park was restricted. I think is necessary more time.

Very good response and experience
I had a Tour through 5 different cities in Africa and all the flight and hotel bookings where organized by Crystal tours, Grace Mutiri was my agent and she was always available to add extra services if needed such as airport transfer or to make any change. It was great to have this support in my busy schedule.

Good tour at reasonable price
Overall we were pleased with our tour of Ngorongoro crater. Our driver/guide arrived as scheduled and he spoke good English. He adapted as needed based upon the weather (visiting the overview at the end since fog covered in the morning), and worked with other guides to find various animals. We saw plenty of animals including rhinos which we had failed to see on the other two safaris we had done. He also stopped at two gift shop areas on the way back to Arusha which was a bonus.
We only have two complaints. First, we had been told that we could pay be credit card but during our meeting the day before the tour, they were asking for a portion of it to be in cash. We were unprepared since they had told us credit card when we had booked weeks in advance and then also asking again the day before. If they had simply told us they wanted it to be cash, we could have been better prepared for it. In the end, we gave less cash than they wanted and they let us pay the rest of it by credit. Secondly, the lunch had mixed reviews by our family. It was a lunch box and overall it was pretty good, but a few of the foiled cheese wedges were all moldy when opened. We had stopped to get the lunches on our way out from somebody so I don't think the lunches are made by them, but they may want to consider a better supplier.

Review about Moremi Game Reserve by Jennifer Jackson
We saw some nice heards of Red Lechwe and quite a few tsessebe, hippos, wildebeest, giraffe, zebra, warthogs, elephants, lots of bird life. We did not find the area teaming with game and we didn’t see any cats. It was a new area to us so we were excited about everything we saw, but it wasn’t as prolific as Chobe National Park.
The roads were really terrible and the grass really was as high as an elephants eye.

A fantastic country full of contrasts
Kenya is a country that, with virtues and defects, is worth visiting. The organization of the safaris is excellent and the guides make an effort to see many animals, especially the big five.

Outstanding and magnificent tour for experiencing the wildlife and stunning scenery in Pilanesberg
Both drivers (shuttle to Pilanesberg and back as well as safari jeep driver in Pilanesberg) were very kind and lovely, included lunch was tasty and delicious.
Shuttle driver to Pilanesberg has been driving with high speed or too fast, with risky overtakings on the opposite lane, probably being under pressure due to lack of time, having to be back by 6 pm.
The tour operator should extend the tour duration by one hour or more, taking the long driving distances into account (tour would end by 7 pm or later), so the driver wouldn't be under time pressure, resulting in better journey safety for the customers.
I would highly recommend your tour.

Safarilink Shuttle tour bus
Good company to commute from Hoedspruit to Pretoria and vice versa. The bus is confortable. The drivers are always nice, answering questions and making conversation.
Departure on time (unless waiting for other passengers).
1 to 2 breaks during the trip to go to the bathroom or buy something to drink/eat.
Price wise it is expensive for my budget as I'm a student, but overall I think the price is worth the service.
My only complain would be the departure time. From Pretoria it is only possible from 6/6:30 am, while departure from Hoedspruit is done from 10/11 am.

Great experience
We did a Day safari-tour to the Selous game reserve from Zanzibar. Everything was good organized except at the airport ( there was a lot of chaos) but the safarit itself was a great experience. The tour guide was very kind and explained everything well. The lunch in the bush was very tastefull.

A Restorative Return
I have Zimbabwean heritage, but hadn't visited for many years. I felt welcomed as if I had never been away. It's impossible to place any one of the many rich ingredients which made up this overall immersive and mind-expanding experience ahead of the others, so let me just say this:
- The people were warm and positive and loved their country.
- The experience was authentic, whether on safari in the bush, spending time with old friends or everyday contact in shops.
- Being away from light and noise pollution was a gift
- the birdlife in Mana Pools was exceptional.
I am already planning my next visit!

Amazing Budget safari
Tour well organized and amazing. Tremisana lodge comfortable and nice. Marc's camp budget, cooking and staff very good. Planning organization efficient. Tent too small and without place to wardrobe.
