Review about South Africa by Glenda Hall
I loved South Africa, and I will definitely be back. September was a lovely time of year, not too hot. Loads of wildlife and birds (all beautifully coloured). A photographer's dream!

Review about Zimbabwe by Nicole
The national parks in Zimbabwe are set in different geographical locations which offer bush, lakeside, cliffs or mountains and makes it very interersting and varied to visit. Its low level of tourists keeps safari very wild and the guides are usually of great knowledge. Birding is wonderful, with over 650 species of birds recorded in the country. Besides, there is the cultural heritage which is worth a visit too, like Great Zimbabwe, or ancient bushman paintings to be found all over the country.

Review about Tanzania by Sebastian
In Tanzania we found every animal we're expecting to see. The parks scenary are really diferent from one to the other, so we got really diferent experiences in each park we went to, despite we're looking for the same thing in all of them..., lions, cheetas, leopards, elephants, rinohs..., and their food, all managing to get along living together.
A wonderful safari adventure was experienced and many cherished memories were made.
The Timbavati Nature Reserve safari was truly a magnificent adventure enjoyed very much by my daughter and myself. From the moment of our arrival at the airport, we were greeted and taken very good care by all whom we met. The Ngala Safari Lodge, which is part of &Beyond resorts, was most impressive! The individual thatched cottages were quite charming and we were beyond satisfied with every meal. With our remarkable ranger and tracker, we did see all the big five animals and so much more. Having the open jeep made the animal viewing much easier for all of us to see the animals. The highlight of the game rides was the breakfast in the bush! The staff managed to surprise us as we were out on a morning game ride when suddenly we came across a gorgeously laid out breakfast with table and chairs for all of us. Having been on several safari, I would definitely recommend the Timbavati Natual Reserve for a safari.
Review about Mala Mala Game Reserve by Sue
I liked Mala Mala a little bit better because it was easier to find and see more animals in a game ride.
Magnificent stay as always.
Have been to Kruger many times over the last 30 years and it never disappoints. It's very easy to self drive but make sure you get off the tar onto the dirt roads. This time we were fortunate to see a cheetah with her 2 young Cubs who were playing around a tree all to ourselves.
Accommodation we stayed at Satara camp which is a good area to look for predators. The camp has recently had a facelift and though accommodation is simple it's comfortable. The restaurant has improved tremendously with the introduction of 'Mugg & Bean' in several camps. They have a very good selection of food and reasonably priced.
Suggest you visit outside school holidays as it then becomes too busy. It's a huge park so make sure you spend several days. We can also highly recommend the tented accommodation.
Review about Sabi Sabi Game Reserve by Andy
We have stayed at Arathusa and Mala Mala game reserves in the past both excellent for a luxury Safari. Sabi Sabi is the best place to have a chance of seeing Leopards.

Unbelievable, breathtaking and experience of a lifetime
We spent an afternoon at iMfolozi and it was so amazing... For September it was quite warm, but breezy in the landrovers. Our driver was excellent and stopped on call as soon as someone spotted movement and always gave us plenty of time to get photographs. I never imagined I'd be so so close up to a cape buffalo or so many white rhinos. The elephant crossing was superb. Lots of giraffes up close and also baboons. We saw zebras in the distance. Our driver got a radio call about lions, so he took us directly to the site. No male lions, but the females were there, also got to see the rare Nyala, male, female and a calf. A fantastic experience. There were plenty of birds to see as well, Marshall Eagles, Bateluers and Ibis. All in all, a highly recommended visit, and I saw more wildlife there than I did at Kruger the day before.
