Great!!
The safari of 4 days/ 3 nights to Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater was great. We've seen a lot of animals. Our guide Apollo was very nice and knew a lot about everything. The cook was great. His food was excellent. After the safari Hamadi (owner) came unexpectedly to our hostel to ask if we'll liked the safari and if we had any complaints, tips etc. etc. We liked that very much. With this he shows that he really cares about his customers and wants them to have a good experience.

Our first trip in January 2017 was so great we returned in June and are going back a third time.
When we moved to Swaziland we knew we'd be close to Kruger and we figured we'd make one or two trips before our time in this part of the world came to an end. What we didn't plan on was how much we enjoyed our first trip there (in January 2017). Because of this trip there was a second one in June, and another upcoming trip confirmed for December.
For the January trip, a three night stay, we opted to stay inside the park at Skukuza and we didn't regret this decision. The self-catering accommodation was comfortable, well built, located next to a river allowing for additional sightings of wild game, and secure. The weather was great for two of the days and a bit misty and rainy on the other, but that didn't slow us down. In fact, due to the recent history with the drought we enjoyed a bit of rain.
One distinct advantage of being inside the park is the ability to begin your touring earlier than those looking to come in from the outside. Despite having the option to join a guided tour we self-drove all weekend as it gave us flexibility and our own vehicle was better suited for my elderly father who accompanied us. One benefit of taking a guided tour is they know where the animals tend to hang out and they use radios to communicate.
Despite the fact we blindly drove around for two full days and half of a third we saw a large variety of animals and birds. People asked us, "Did you see the big five?", as if that was the goal. Our goal was to experience the park, see what we could see, and enjoy the memories that came along as a result. We saw four of the big five (missed a cheetah) but my lasting memory will be the two male kudus fighting for territory or a female on the other side of the river as we relaxed at the end of the day. A large herd of elephants crossing the same river the day before is also a lasting memory. On day two we had a young, solitary, bull elephant diplomatically tell us to back up was a bit of a wake up call that perhaps we shouldn't have lingered as long as we did taking his picture. I guess he didn't like paparazzi. These are the memories we went looking for and we found them.
I'm not much of a birder, but after you've photographed the big game, you start looking for something different. If you're a birder there's plenty there. The hornbill sifting through elephant feces remains my favorite from the first trip.
It's difficult for me to be enamored with the scenery at Kruger because I've been to places that are much more scenic. You don't really go to Kruger for the scenery, you go to see wildlife. The topography is unremarkable when compared to other parts of Mpumalanga Province.
Lastly, we had the opportunity to engage with other tourists and we found several who had a similar mindset and outlook about the pace as we did. In fact, everyone we spoke to was pleasant, relaxed, and willing to engage. You will meet people from all over the world there, and there's a reason for that, it's simply worth going to see.

Wildlife & scenic beauty mixed in a blend
Our trip to SA was hassle free. From booking till we departed it was easy convenient & satisfying. Primarily we went for wildlife & we saw all the big 5 just in the 4 hrs of drive through the jungles of kruger. I was a bit annoyed with our guide because he was not giving us much time to click pictures & he was rather interested in showing us as much animals as he can. He was right in his own way, but our trip was primarily a photographing the wildlife. But it was still ok for us because we spotted almost everything.
I thank staff of Safarbookings.com as well as staffs of the lodge Sabie river bush lodge who we very hospitable during our stay. Our safari guide was unique he made us spot many animals, special thanks yo him

it was an once in a life time experiance
i would highly recommend this company The staff were very polite and courteous and eager to please with all requests to find animals on safaris The choice of accommodation was excellent and food Vehicles could have been of a later model My only complaint is that as a female travelling on her own that you have a card displaying the company name to identify and not a verbal phone message at the airport as it can be very daunting in a strange country

Very good safari with Safari Multiways!
Together with a colleague, I had a great 8-days experience with Safari Multiways. During the time of planning, we had an absolutely competent and reliable partner in Romeo from Safari Multiways. It was a big pleasure to communicate with him and to discuss all the details of our tour. Then, we had Juma, a very experienced guide and driver, who gave us lots of opportunities to observe all the animals within the national parks in Tanzania. We could meet also the Big Five. We were accompanied by a very friedly cook, Dogo, who served always very delicious meals. Nothing was missed at the table, it was almost perfect. The only things I would recommend would be to maintenance the car (for avoiding some gear problems) and to buy a newer and maybe bigger tent. Altogether, it was a great and unforgettable time, so I would recommend Safari Multiways, definitely!

Review about Tsavo West National Park by Kam
Ride through while in the train to Mombasa. Saw animals from a distance but didn't get a real feel for the park.

A more lush area, animals are harder to see at times but very beautiful.

Not as many animals as Masai Mara, different much drier terrain.
