Very good overall experience!
We went on a 5-day tour and were totally satisfied. The details go below.
=== Strongside ===
Communication, driver, service, lodges, and camps were just awesome. We liked the attention a lot. The guys were in touch and were ready to answer any upcoming questions. The driver was very polite and intelligent, told us a lot of interesting facts about the animals and their behavior.
Also, our driver changed the way how we eat during a safari game drive. All other groups were eating from cardboard boxes (I would say 1-star food), but we had good food from hotels we are staying in (4-star food). That changed our experience a lot! Thank you Anderson!
=== Pitfalls ===
On our first day, the car was broken. That issue was resolved pretty fast and we were sent to a hotel in another car. Also, the company bought us a bottle of wine as an apology. Everything might happen on the road, thus I do not think that is the company's fault and I am happy that the issue was resolved fast.
On our last day, we told "goodbye" to our driver and gave a tip of $25. We thought that should be a decent tip since he did a good job, but by our driver's reaction, we understood that there is something wrong. Later we found out that the recommended tip amount is $15 per day per person which equals to $150 for our 5-day tour! That should be a tip, not a salary, right? In my opinion, the recommended amount is way too high. We are not a very rich family and can not afford $150 tips. But on the other hand, we did not want to offend our driver (he did a really great job). That is a dilemma that we were not able to solve and thus lost some part of the "our trip is excellent" mood.

Second time using Bobbycamping
We went with Bobbycamping back in 2007 and again in Oct of 2020. They did not disappoint. Once again our safari and Kili climb went perfect. Their guides are supper friendly and knowledgeable. And as in 2007 everything went without a hitch. From picking us up at the airport to dropping us off we were in good hands. I highly recommend using Bobbycamping for not only for your safari needs but for your Kilimanjaro experience as well. Thank you Bobby camping. we'll be back.

Very nice safari!
I booked the safari as a solo traveller, and Mosha replied very quickly and efficiently. I ended up being more expensive as originally thought due to the fact that I was completely alone for the tour which was cool and Mosha did try to adapt the plans to me. The places we stayed at were pretty nice, the food was delicious and the guide he got me for the hike was fabulous. We saw a lot of animals but no big cats... which was a shame. He did call his colleague the last day to see if we good do another game drive but it was not included in the price and that was a bit to much for me . So thank you Mosha!

Born Park Adventures set up a fantastic schedule to view all the amazing animals!
Born Park Adventures was very easy to communicate with and they set up a fantastic schedule for us to travel to the Serengeti Plains to see all the different animals that the plains had to offer. Our guide, Peter, was very informative about the various animals and their history in the Serengeti Plains. Peter also had great communication skills and was able to easily communicate to us what our plans/schedule were going to be during the trip and what we were going to be doing/seeing the next day. The Safari tour was the best trip that I have been on and it was an absolute pleasure to work with an amazing company such as Born Park Adventures!

So many ideas .... and everything turned out to be perfect.
No matter, whether the safari lodge, the choice of car for it, the ROVOS Rail trip or the wonderful hotel in Capetown...... everything they recommended turned out perfect.
The advantage seems to be, that it simply makes sense to use a travel agency, which is located in the country, rather than one here in Germany. They know their ways, they know the requirements and they have much more connections.
I would definitively use them again.

The best customer service and amazing tour
I have done 2 trips with Deo and both have been exceptional. He is reliable, trustworthy and professional. When I took my elderly mother he looked after her so well and made sure she was comfortable. I went back with my 2 sons and we enjoyed a great safari with Deo who was knowledgeable and helpful and great fun to be with.
Next time I return to Uganda I will definitely be contacting Deo.

Perfect trip through South Africa
We decided to book our holiday with Amazing Africa and they provided the perfect service. It started right from the beginning with the right itinerary, to the perfect hotels and activities. During our trip everything was perfect. We had a great holiday and really enjoyed it a lot. We will definitely recommend Amazing Africa and book our next holiday only with them.
