Review about Greater Kruger by Martin James Ledger
It was good but compared to other parks/game reserves it is a little too organised. I knew this would be the case but, as I was with someone who had never been before, I felt it a safe option. I prefer the "wilder" option and will return to South Africa to perhaps re-visit a location appearing less well "controlled". Having said that, where else can you drive among a pride of 19 lions and then park beside the male lion, lying a little way off, walk along a river bank watching a croc on the other bank and hippos in the water, at times be hassled by monkeys and baboons (in the nicest way of course) and drive past herds of zebra, impala and other animals. A fair range of sightings but after four safaris, I have still to see a leopard - next time perhaps!

In summary, it was excellent and we had no complaints. Simon, our driver and guide was the best.
Masai Mara review
We had taken the Masai Mara trip with Jocky Tours. In summary, it was excellent and we had no complaints. Simon, our driver and guide was the best. We recommend a Matatu over the Landcruiser as it's cheaper and nearly same experience.
The communication over email and phone was perfect.
A longer feedback follows. They picked us up promptly from our place. We had a good drive with Simon to Masai Mara. The road is not very good but Simon was a skilled driver. The lenchada camp site was very good and our tent was really comfortable. During the game drives, Simon was very actively coordinating with others to make sure we see as much game as possible and was also very knowledgeable. He told us about the living habits, gestation period and breeding habits of each of the species. They also made us see the sunrise in the national park which was amazing.
The Masai village tour was also fun.
Overall we recommend the tours and ask for Simon as your driver and guide. He is really friendly. We saw a lot of game, great wildlife, good car and an amazing tour.

John and Joe were awesome tour guides. Joe took the time to explain everything that we were seeing!
The tour meet my expectations! They were in constant communications with us to ensure that our experience was the best. They even help us to get some awesome photos. I felt like I was part of their family. THANK YOU! Next time I will bring more beef jerky

Beautiful scenery, diverse
We were family of 3 (10 yrs old kid) and traveled through Garden route via motorhome (camper).
We started planing the trip a bit late since we were traveling from 30/12-10/1/2020--high season. For that reason sometimes the accommodation (camp grounds) were either full or did not have much of a choice. Few times we had to go to a chalet or bungalow, which was in our case not necessary since we had a motorhome...Also I believe the company does not have much experience in organising a trip for motorhome, so at the end of the trip , we would do few things different as far as accommodation.
Everything else was really nice from Karoo area , Schotia Safari, Tsitskiama national park, etc.
Correspodence with Elmor and his collegues was good and they would answer email fast .
I would definately recommend this company for organising your trip, just make sure you start organising it far in advance for the high season!

True African wilderness natural park.
I visited the park during January 2020 together with six others for 2 nights.
We traveled from the capital Kampala by road using a 4WD via Gulu,Kitgum and Kaabong a distance of about 550 kms.
During the game drive, guided by a knowledgeable and amiable ranger Gerald, we spotted; the over 1000 herds of buffalo, hundreds of Zebra, several jacksons heartbeats ( not sure of that spelling though), lions, elephants, giraffes, water bucks, warthogs, oribi and many more. My interest was largely the lions and I was not disappointed we spotted three at two different locations.
The weather was hot (35C) during the day and gets rather cold at night.
A must visit for a nature tour of Uganda.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
I booked my family a 4 day safari to Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti with Vervet Tours. From the first contact with Basili I knew that I was dealing with a professional because he was prompt and thorough with responses. He understood our desires and fitted them all within the limited timeline. He also gave us valuable information that helped us prepare for the trip. The safari was incredible and exceeded our expectations, we had a comfortable well serviced vehicle driven by James who is knowledgeable and wonderful guide who showed us many different animals and birds. Everything about this safari including accommodations was fantastic for my young family. This is how safaris should be and thank you Vervet Tours and Safaris for an unforgettable experience.

Mombasa was very good
We went to Mombasa with Sgr with my champ group. Our shuttle driver was very good and we saw a lot of Bonfire Vehicles at Sgr . Voyager was good choice of hotel .
Hamisi was a funny guy at the Sgr terminus.
We had wanted to be picked late but he warned us about traffic Jam. True to his word at Miritini there was a lot of traffic. If we didn’t take his word we could have gotten late. Bonfire we are planning Dubai now for the group.
