Impressie wildlife in great nature!
We made two tours, ons in the northern part with Tarangire NP, lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro CA. Travelling by jeep means long distances and many hours on the road, but we loved to watch daily live, throughout roads sometimes were bad with lots of dust and of course the magnificent nature and wildlife in the parks. Facilities in the public camps are quite poor. Afterwards we drove to Selous NP, Mikumi and Udzungwa Mountains and particularly enjoyed the vast, beautiful and quiet parks with lots of wildlife and only few visitors.

We had a great time, and it was well organized!
Communication upfront and during the trip was smooth, and Castro was very helpful throughout. The trip and activities were great. Would highly recommend Karibu safaris!

Good experience
Good comms throughout. Slightly chaotic at times with us being moved from one van to another but don't let that faze you.
Our driver, Aruny took care of us and we were super lucky to have been able to spot a leopard and a cheetah. He was pretty quick at driving us to where the animals were last seen.
Overall, a good experience and will recommend the tour to my friends.

Very well organized and interesting tour of the places to see in Cape Town
This was not a safari tour, but a first experience of all the beautiful sights Cape Town has to offer. The guest house (Parker’s Cottage) where I stayed was excellent, their breakfast offer was outstanding with various choices of cooked breakfast, fresh juices and amazing and tasty fresh fruit with granola. The local guide cum driver was knowledgeable and provided a lot of insight on South African history and politics.

Our gids, Fortune and Shebby, were the niciest we could wish for!
Difficult to say, because we were with a school project "Global Exploration". And we weren't really informed about the safari because our teachers didn't tell us.

Trip to Mbala, Zambia for Centenary Ceremony for the end of World War I in Africa
Our trip to Mbala was for five days with the principal event being the 25 November 2018 Ceremony marking the Centenary of the World War I surrender of German East African forces to British Forces which took place on 25 November 1918. We also visited other significant locations in Zambia’s Northern Province.
Our tour guide and driver was James Tembo from African Vacations. We left Lusaka at 4:30 am to avoid the traffic and headed north, reaching Kasama that night. We visited the Lettow Vorbeck (the German Commander during the War) Memorial on the way.
Day two and we visited the Chishimba Falls which are amazing, then headed north to Mpulungu on Lake Tanganyika where we visited the port (hum ho) then the old stone church (very interesting). Unfortunately, the accommodation in Mbala that night was not satisfactory, however we endured it with some sympathy for James who had been badly let down by the Lodge owner.
Day three was the Centenary Ceremony which was fascinating. All appeared to be chaos shortly before the Ceremony, but somehow they managed to pull together an impressive event with the Zambian President, Ambassadors, Generals and von Lettow-Vorbeck’s grandson all laying wreaths at the Mbala memorial. In the afternoon we visited the old jail (which needs work), the pioneer cemetery (interesting), and Mbala’s Museum (very impressive). There is a surprising amount to see in Mbala, but you need to know where to look.
Day four and we headed north to Kalambo Falls where a torrent of water falls 235 metres into the gorge below. An absolute must if you are in the area. We then headed south to Kapisha Hot Springs Lodge where we camped the night in the tents James had brought with him. Kapisha is definitely the place to stay in this area. We woke early for a swim in the hot spring then headed off to Shiwa House which is a grand English style country house and estate. Also a must see. James then drove us to home in Lusaka.
It was a great trip. We had no preconceived expectations, and the disappointing aspects of the trip were outweighed by the hidden gems we found. James did a good job organising then running the trip, and we’re sure he is now wiser for the experience.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Monika
We saw a lot of baboons and elephants, as well as many zebra's, wildebeest and bufallos. However, having been to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Maasai Mara it felt that there wasn't as many animals as in the other parks, possibly because many were hidden in the bushes of the lake Manyara Park.

Enjoyable!
When we were picked up from our hotel there was someone to collect the remaining fees pick us up. He gave us a small run down of what to expect, then 5 mins to the bus station he got out and left. We were slightly confused what was happening, but the driver took care of us overall. He answered any questions/ request we had. Overall I would refer others to this company.
