Review about Kruger National Park by Jane Ni
Although we saw fewer animals than expected, we did get to see lions.

Once in a lifetime holiday
The thing that most impressed me was how lovely everyone was! Everywhere I went people were friendly, cheerful, upbeat and positive.
On Safari the animals were completely relaxed around the jeeps, taking no notice at all, lions and elephants wandering past and around the jeeps, crossing in front and even laying in the shade of them!
Incredible experience for an animal lover!
In Zanzibar the accommodation was great, the excursions were amazing and, again, everyone was lovely!

Lucky Wildlife Encounters and Fascinating Animal Interactions Around the Lodge
I joined the 4 Day Tremisana Safari and it was an great South African wildlife experience. I was lucky enough to see white rhinos on a bush walk, elephants near our lodge, a leopard on my final morning, and even a hyena near our bush barbecue dinner!
The golden sunsets and sundowners during game drives were beautiful. Staying at Tremisana Game Lodge was also a highlight, especially watching elephants and impala visit a nearby waterhole from our outdoor patio.
The weather can change quite a bit, so I recommend bringing both sun protection and warm layers. Although the drive from Johannesburg Airport to the lodge was long, the safari experience was well worth it, it is a fantastic destination.

John Is The Greatest Tour Guide In The World!
John is the kindest most down to earth human. John is knowledgeable, humorous, patient, intelligent, and such a kind soul and spirit. John is so present and intentional with his time. John’s passion in life is guiding these safaris and he feels most alive in nature with these incredible animals. I learned so much about the animals in the wild from John and I also learned so much about life and the human experience. John was an amazing mentor and teacher full of wisdom who turned into a lifelong friend of mine. I whole heartedly recommend booking a safari with John and his wonderful team.

One of the best tour companies I have ever used
Nofy Travel and Tours is one of the best tour companies, local or international, I have used in all my years of world travel. From the beginning of planning for this trip to the end of our time there, everything was done with care and put us, the travelers, first. From Philedine, the owner of the company, to her staff and the guides we used, we were treated with the utmost consideration and all changes that were needed were provided for quickly and without question. As an example, when we were spending long hours driving in the south over some of the worst roads I've ever seen, the office immediately made changes to our itinerary so we could spend more time enjoying the places we were staying and less time in a car. They truly put the customer first in all things. For a 3 week trip, the price was more than reasonable and the so-called mid-range accommodations we had were more than adequate and some of them were first-class hotels/lodges in stunning locations. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, saw and learned a lot and were treated like honored guests. Nosy means dream in the Malagasy language and this company will fulfill yours if you use them to visit Madagascar.

Planning with Wild Wings was so uncomplicated!
What an amazing trip. From the outset, we had clear communication with Clare, our agent at Wild Wings. We were given clear expectations of what was included in our 4 day safari to Kruger. We were picked up at the airport in Nelspruit and saw our first wild life before we had even exited the parking area, Simon, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and always seemed to be the first to arrive at any given sighting. The accommodations in Skukuza were rustic but clean and comfortable. The meals provided were tasty, nutritious and filling. We felt that the entire experience was great value for what it cost and we would definitely recommend Wild Wings to anyone wanting a well planned and well executed safari trip..

Great!
The safari was great! We went to the Maasai Mara Park in a comfortable car with an experienced driver! We saw a lot of animals, especially zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, and gazelles! There were fewer lions and cheetahs, but we still saw them! We spent the night in a comfortable campsite with breakfast! In the evening, we went to a Maasai village! On the last day of the excursion, we went to the city of Nakuru and Lake Nakuru, where we also went on a safari... We saw the same animals, plus flamingos! We really enjoyed the tour, we recommend it to everyone!

Sunworld Kenyan Safari Masterpiece!
Our Kenyan safari trip with Sunworld was an outstanding and very memorable experience! The safari covered a large portion of Kenya and Sunworld coordinated every step of the way. We visited Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Samburu Game Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park, Maasi Mara Game Reserve, Lak Naivasha and Amboseli National Park over a 12 day schedule.
All the accommodations were first rate. The tents/rooms were clean and comfortable. The culinary fare provided us with lots of options and, with a few exceptions, was very delicious. We were particularly impressed with the local Kenyan delicacies that were prepared for us. The staff at all six locations were very attentive to our needs. The managers of the three Soroi properties, Bernard (Samburu), Joseph (Mara Bush) and Daniel (Amboseli) went all out to make our visits memorable. I particularly enjoyed their staff helping me improve my Swahili and Maasai language skills!
We really appreciated the opportunity to enjoy the food and accommodations immersed within the wildlife’s habitat! Whether it was an elephant strolling by our room in Samburu, hippos scratching themselves on our tents in Maasai Mara, or zebras and giraffes hanging out with us at Lake Naivasha, we were right in the middle and loving every minute of it!
Accommodations and food were important, but what really made this trip a success was our guide, Robert Mulandi. Robert was wonderful! Robert’s knowledge on a wide variety of topics and the ease at which he helped us understand was so considerate and conversational. He also has a wonderful wit and demeanor that immediately made us feel comfortable. Robert went to great lengths to make sure we had a chance to experience all of Kenya’s riches! By the end of the twelve days, it felt more like we were saying goodbye to a good friend than a safari guide!
All in all, the trip was incredible and I have already started to recommend the experience with Sunworld to all my friends, family, and acquaintances.
