I could not imagine a better safari experience than that provided to us at Arathusa - just superb.
Where do I start?
The accommodation was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had a hut on the edge of the waterhole, this meant that in the rest periods between game drives we did not get much rest - too many animals visiting the waterhole to keep us entertained !!
The game drives - early morning and late afternoon each day - were well organised. Our guide Rein and Tracker DeBeer really knew their stuff. The wildlife was abundant - we had not realised just how close we got to all of the animals. We had been told that on a 3 day safari, if you saw all of the Big 5, as well as the other numerous animals, you did well. We actually had a 5 day safari, but on day 2 we saw the Big 5 in about 90 minutes !!! There were 3 vehicles leaving the lodge each drive, and all kept in close touch on the two-ways, to ensure that if one group saw a particular sight, the others were informed so they could get there too. On the last day we even saw a pack of African Wild dogs with a kill, which is extremely rare.
The food was excellent - only about 30 guests, with the most enthusiastic chef - Malcolm - announcing full details of each meal before it was served. Other facilities were good as well - pool overlooking the waterhole, good bar, massage and beauty salon (excellent massages by the way). Everything was very well organised and always on time.
Would recommend this resort to anybody without qualification - but definitely get a hut on the edge of the waterhole.
Serengeti was my most secluded and scenic experience on Safari.
The accommodations, food and scenery were incredible. I stayed in a luxury tent in the middle of the park- it was very secluded and beautiful. Wildlife surrounded our camp and we could listen to them at night, The food prepared for us was excellent as well. The camp staff was extremely polit.
Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Lisa Haselow
One of my favorites! The beauty of the crater can't be described and we constantly saw wildlife- including the Rhino!!! We also stayed in a luxury tent at the top of the crater where the weather was cold! It was so fun to stay in a place with weather that differed so much from other locations- It was my favorite camp of the trip.
Review about Tarangire National Park by Lisa Haselow
Awesome!!!! I want to go back- this is what I pictured the safari to be like. We saw SO MANY animals, especially elephants. The elephants surrounded us and I will never forget it!

Excellent Birding trip
Hi guys, just a short note to let you know that we had such a wonderful time on our day trip to lake Naivasha on April 12 2015. Our guide Patrick provided many laughs and facts and made the trip quite enjoyable. Very smart chap with unmatched ornithological knowledge. The boat trip to the crescent Island was interesting with the many birds that we spotted including a fish eagle taking a dive for lunch. Despite the seemingly “bad weather”, we did enjoy the day thoroughly and should we return to Kenya be sure to have us as your clients for another tour.
Thank you for providing us with a fun filled day!

AMAZING travel company, from scheduling to payment to travel itself!
HIGHLY recommend this company. Used it for travel to 2 national parks in Uganda. Had the opportunity to work with most of the team during the itinerary drafting, payment, and actual travel process. Every single person was beyond helpful, almost instantly responsive, and extremely friendly. Easy payment process via money transfer. When we arrived, our guide was the consummate expert and also super fun to spend the days with. He went out of his way to make sure we had a great time, got to see lots of animals, and learned tons about the country and culture. Can't recommend the whole experience with AB5 enough!

Great experience with Experience AFrica!
What an brilliant time we had in Zim!
Thank you Debbie for your great recommendations and attention to detail! Changa at Kariba was stylish but relaxed with fabulous accommodation, delicious food and that Kariba feel that we crave!
Antelope Park near Gweru was great for the kids - they were highly entertained by the guides - the elephant ride was a huge hit as was the snake induction. My Dad and I loved our special time Walking with the Lions and getting to photograph these amazing animals up close. Definitely a worthwhile holiday made all the easier by your great advice and organisation of all we needed!

great migration in ndutu
This safari was probably the best vacations in our life. We chose it started in africa for their glowing reviews, reputation and fantastic customer support. We were advised that at this time of the year we should go to the south of the serengeti to see the wildbeests migration. It was surreal. I would need Shakespeare help to put into words what we saw and experienced.
we even saw the the wildbeests giving birth, 2 hunts, many lions, 5 cheetah, 3 leopards, 2 rhinos.
we loved our guide Martin. Very professional and experienced. I cant recommend them more.
