Unique desert and coastal scenery.
The desert scenery throughout Namibia was quite spectacular, although at times it looked just like we were in the Australian outback. The weather was quite pleasant, with the exception of sesriem where it got to 48 degrees Celsius during the day but otherwise we barely saw any clouds the whole 10 days we spent there. The standard of accommodation and food exceeded our expectations in most cases, especially at the luxury desert inn at Sesriem. Having the ability to drive ourselves at our own pace was good as we were able to stop at various interesting sites along the way.

Enjoyable vacation
I went with my Family to hiking/ trekking trip with Lakeside tours. we had a trekking to Rwenzori mountain , cycling on the crater lake, game drives, lake tours , Chimps and Gorilla trekking. We enjoyed the trip , they accommodated our changes to the original plan, our guide Bonny was so so helpful and supportive. he managed all the changes we asked for during the whole trip - change in accomodation, change in trip starting time to suite us after long Journeys, changes in lunches and dinners - even during the trip itself he would bring all needed water , fruits and juices.
the bad side were the Car which was very slow and aircon was not working , due to this fact - as well as the bad roads conditions- we spend longer time travelling from place to place . The choices of hotels were not the best , we had to change the hotels twice , last one we refused to get in the hotel, and we had to search for alternative at midnight. at the end they provided us with the accomodation we asked for.

3-day safari in Masai Mara fantastic, day trips in Nairobi bit disappointing.
We booked our trips with BB Safaris on arrival in Nairobi. Our day trips in Nairobi to the elephant orphanage and giraffe centre were good and well worth the visit but the 1-day safari to Nairobi National Park was disappointing with a 'driver' rather than a 'guide'. Our 4 hour schedule was reduced to 3 hours with an unplanned, and quite frankly, unwanted visit to a snake centre. I didn't enjoy the day which is why I've scored 4 instead of 5.
However, our 3-day trip to the Masai Mara was outstanding! This was mainly through our guide (Patrick) being so expert in knowing where to find the animals and getting us the most amazing sights of animals in their natural habitat and family scenes unfolding in front of us as we watched enthralled. I am still buzzing from the experience!!
For a budget safari we felt we had a fantastic trip that was worth the money.

Memorable vacation
Lians arranged a family vacation for us to Tsavo and Mara. All arrangements were excellent and personally handled by Lilian. The domestic transfers, hotels, and game safaris were a pleasurable experience. Thank you Lilian till our next trip to Africa.

Well organized trip with friendly driver and friendly office staff.
Communication was excellent. Planning of the safari was easy. Money transfer however not very smooth.
Service during safari was excellent. Itinerary could have been improved. Visit to Pian Upe was not rewarding. Accommodation was good.
Tyres of car were old leading to flat tyres.
Wildlife sighting was good, Guide gave good explanations especially on birds.

great experience
Great experience - was impressed with the quality of the lodges, the friendliness of staff and the overall service level of all folks involved. At the moment, South Africa is also quite affordable compared to other safari locations. Overall great value for money.

Great 6 days in a camping safari tour.
The driver and the cook have been very good. We have seen many animals thanks to the guide and we have eaten really well.
