Review about Moremi Game Reserve by gfin
We just did one evening river trip into Moremi, out of Little Kwara lodge. The birding was good and the sense of wetland wilderness was very strong. We had a dramatic hippo encounter there.

Review about Botswana by gfin
Outside of the Delta Botswana is a dry country of flat, bush-covered semi-arid terrain. We didn't travel the southern parts of the country that are pure desert, but I expect that the scenery there is equally stark. This kind of country has real beauty but can easily get monotonous because there is little variety.
Ideal June safari
David at Vacay Holiday Deals was absolutely great to work with in planning our ideal safari this June. He was accommodating of our requests and responsive to all our inquiries. We had a wonderful safari - from the flight to the Mara to the hotel and food to the spectacular game drives. What a wonderful way to see this beautiful country! Thank you to David and his team.

Great trip in the Serengeti!
We took a four day trip which covered Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, and Arusha. It was the experience of a lifetime. The guide and the cook in the trip were really great. We were a little disappointed that the guide wasn't a little more strict about getting up early in order to see the actual hunting. We weren't aware until the last day that the hunting takes place very early in the morning and it was too late by then.
The food was excellent; we were very surprised at how good the food was considering we camped in the middle of the forest for three nights. I was very impressed with the trip overall.

Review about Camdeboo National Park by lollipop_lass
Small park but lots of animals to see - antelope and monkeys in particular on my visit. Across the road is the spectacular Valley of Desolation ... Breathtaking views of Graaff-Reinet from the top. Have been to this park twice ... Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Great camping facilities too.

Great experience, proffesional & dedicated staff
First the booking-period was very pleasant and comfortable. Every question I asked Memory was quickly and satisfiable answered.
I spend 19 day's with Wild Dog Safari's and it was an experience I will never forget. I did a combination tour with three different guides and assistants. The guides were extremely dedicated to me as a guest. Nothing was to much to explain and both the guide and the camp assistant worked their butt of to cook, help with the tents and with everything they could to make our travel comfortable.
During the game drive they gave me every opportunity i needed to switch my lenses. I have a 600mm telelens and it takes some time to switch it but that was no problem. The guides went the long mile to provide opportunities to see game or other beautiful things.
We encountered two set backs. Two car breakdowns due to the bad roads in Namibie. The second costs me the visit to the minevillage and the afternoon in Swakopmund. It was compensated by paying the tours I booked the next day in Swakopmund but I lost the opportunity to by gemstones which I was really looking forward to.
During the 9 days tour to Zimbabwe the tents were packed in the bus in stead of the roof of the bus. And some guest took way more luggage with them then according to the guidelines. As a result the sleeping bags had to travel in the cabin which way decreased our space in the bus. Wich such small space in the bus the long drives are not comfortable.
But overall a very pleasant and professional organization. Trips fantastic organized and if I had to choose again I would go for Wild Dog Safaries in a second.
With Ilmaasai you make your safaritrip a very personal experience
I spent 4 months volunteering in Arusha (dec13/march14) and did several trips with the little company of the two brothers Loth and Philip. It was my aim to find a good and trustworthy company to organize trips for a lot of volunteers. At first they all went to the big companies. I didn't want that: I wanted the spent money to be supporting local people and local economy. With the Ilmaasai's I was on the right spot. A personal touch, a friendly conversation, always karibu sana when you drop by at the cosy office in the park. Just good folks, that you can rely on.
If you go for the brandnew jeep or the flashy add-on's, go to a big company; if you want the real thing, with an excellent guide and a superb cook (Godson & Saimon were our hero's!), go with Ilmaasai and go to the campsites and not the expensive ridgelodges.
And say hi to Philip and Loth from me!
