If you're booking a safari, request Daudi. He's the real deal and he made this trip.
Just got back from an incredible trip, and our safari guide Daudi made the whole thing. Hands down the best guide we've had.
Daudi found us the Big Five — every single one. That's not luck, that's a guy who knows the bush cold and reads it like a map. He drove hard when he needed to and held steady when it counted, put us right where the action was without ever making us feel unsafe. Total pro, no wasted moves.
What really stood out was how much he knew. He wasn't just spotting animals, he was breaking down behavior, terrain, the whole ecosystem, so every drive felt like more than a checklist.
We capped it off with a few days on the beach in Zanzibar, and it was the perfect way to unwind after the drives — white sand, warm water, no schedule. Great combo: adrenaline in the bush, then total relaxation on the coast.

Review about Kruger National Park by Chintan Patel
Kruger National Park exceeded every expectation and was the highlight of our trip to South Africa. The park is incredibly beautiful, well-maintained, and offers some of the best wildlife viewing in the world. We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, along with giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs, and countless other animals in their natural habitat. Every game drive was exciting, and no two experiences were ever the same.
The guides were knowledgeable, passionate, and excellent at spotting wildlife while sharing fascinating facts about the animals and the ecosystem. The scenery was breathtaking, from open savannas to lush bushveld, and every sunrise and sunset felt magical.
Kruger National Park is truly a must-visit destination for anyone who loves nature and wildlife. It offers the perfect combination of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable experiences. We also highly recommend booking through SafariBookings, as they made the planning process easy and helped us find an outstanding safari experience. We can’t wait to return!

Review about Tsavo East National Park by Ernie Ginting
Very vast. Met "red elephants" and big tuskers. Because of its red soil, tsavo east is unique compared to other national parks. As no crowd, you feel like you have your own park.

Review about Nairobi National Park by Ernie Ginting
Home for black rhinos. Compared to Maasai Mara, Amboseli and lake Nakuru, less numbers of wildlife appeared. But this is also a home for Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage where we can meet orphaned elephants and see how the conservation going well in Kenya.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Ernie Ginting
Lake Nakuru is home for rhinos. But we could not see flamingos - as it should be - because the level water of the lake was high

Amboseli is a place for elephant lovers. And Mount Kilimanjaro view as background is iconic!

South Africa is a breathtaking destination where spectacular wildlife, stunning landscapes.
Our South African safari was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. From the moment we entered the reserve, we were surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, endless plains, and incredible wildlife. Every game drive felt like a new adventure, and we were amazed by how close we were able to get to the animals while still respecting their natural habitat.
One of the highlights of the trip was seeing the famous Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and buffalo. Watching a pride of lions relaxing in the shade, elephants walking gracefully across the plains, and a leopard resting in a tree was simply breathtaking. We also spotted giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs, wildebeest, and countless species of birds, making every safari drive unique and exciting.
The safari guides were exceptional. Their knowledge of the animals, their behaviors, and the surrounding ecosystem made every drive educational as well as entertaining. They had an incredible ability to track wildlife and shared fascinating stories that made us appreciate the beauty of South Africa even more.
The accommodations exceeded our expectations. The lodge was comfortable, beautifully designed, and blended perfectly with nature. Waking up to the sounds of birds and enjoying stunning sunrises over the African bush was an experience we’ll never forget. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always went above and beyond to make us feel at home.
Booking through SafariBookings made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. The platform offered a wide selection of trusted safari operators, clear itineraries, and excellent customer support. It made comparing options easy and helped us find the perfect safari that matched our expectations and budget. We highly recommend SafariBookings to anyone planning a safari in South Africa.
Overall, this safari was beyond amazing and exceeded every expectation. It was the perfect blend of excitement, relaxation, and unforgettable wildlife encounters. South Africa offers an incredible combination of adventure, luxury, and natural beauty that is difficult to find anywhere else. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we can’t wait to return!

Uganda met all our expectations
We enjoyed an eight day safari, travelling in a land cruiser with a guide. We visited three national parks- Muchison Falls, chimpanzees, Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi. All great and very different. Our Kajie guide was great- lots of knowledge and skills. So many animals and birds. Elephants were amazing and so many giraffes! Orini antelope a delight. Saw Lions and a leopard. The gorillas were everything we hoped for. Skilled guide and trackers got us among them.
Chimpanzees were there but a downpour( unusual in July) made viewing a challenge. All the lodges we stayed in were lovely. Comfortable rooms, great meals and friendly attentive staff. The only downside was long days on the road but this gave us the opportunity to see how the Ugandan people live their lives.

Perfect place for a first time safari trip
Visit Kenya for my first safari trip in Africa. All visits to national parks were satisfying since I could see the big five and also enjoy the other wildlife appearance. Less crowd because the great migration just about to start. Weather was pleasant even though a bit cold in the morning, but as sun went up the sky was clear for taking many good pictures and the temperature was not too hot that you still be able to enjoy the game drives.
