Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by Brenda
Pilanseberg is pretty good, one sees quite a bit of game, the Springbok herd is unexpected and very special.

Review about Mountain Zebra National Park by Brenda
They is without question an unappreciated Gem. The park was prestine, "oceans" of golden grass dotted with bush veld. Vistas of mountains in the distance.
The park is well maintained the accommodation excellent, staff were excellent and attentive. Zebras, zebras everywhere - mountain zebra is so special. Many black Wildebeast, red hartebeest and Blesbok. We even saw Black Rhino - very special.
We were there when locust swarm was in the park - very interesting - the birds were going wild.
I could go back over and over again - just as a quiet place to spend time.

Addo elephant Park is really worth a visit
We spent two nights in Addo, sleeping at the Nyathi rest camp. This accommodation is beautifully positioned in that it is really very remote (no wifi or cellphone signal - sometimes a blessing....). There is a limited amount of game to see at the camp but the scenery and peace make up for this. The accommodation is very nicely appointed and the kitchen has pretty much everything one could want (only two of every piece of crockery and cutlery - which is a bit limiting). Parks people at the camp were friendly and attentive.
We really enjoyed the park, the lists of animals that one can see does not compare with Kruger BUT this does not mean that the game viewing was not great. We saw many, many elephant. So anyone wanting a close encounter of the elephant kind - this is the place to go.
I have never seen quite so many Kudu, there are quite literally herds of Kudu - usually one encounters a solitary Kudu half obscured by a bush - not in Addo, they are as plentiful as Impala are in Kruger - well not quite but one started to think that way. The bush pigs are very plentiful. We also saw lots of zebra.
The waterholes are the places to go to, easy viewing but one has to pick your time - as is the case at any waterhole - the animals are there and then they are gone.
We are not big "birders" but we saw some nice birds and the cherry was the secretary bird - wonderful.
The roads have been pretty well maintained and the restaurant and shops (some very nice up market curios - similar to what we have seen in the airport at ORT) are in pretty good shape. Overall we were impressed.
Addo clearly has some problems with regards to over grazing in some area and while one could be critical I would rather see it as a work in progress - especially when one considers the state of some other parks in South Africa/Africa.

Emmanuel the guide was so knowledgeable, passionate, engaging, entertaining.
While planning the trip, Fahari Uganda Safaris took the time to talk to us, so that they knew exactly what we wanted and they provided just that. Upon arrival, I realized that there was no need to worry or stress, about anything, everything was organized perfectly.
Waking up in Kisoro, we were treated to rolling hills, mountain Scenery and beautiful views of Lake Mutanda.
I and the group fully took in the spirit of Bwindi Impenetrable forest and its inhabitants. The Forest enveloped us in thick green and giving us a jungle mood. We took in the Emerald sights, smells and sounds of this two million years forest.
After an hour of trekking through this African Jungle, pushing the misty branch leaves aside and on slippery grounds, the ranger whispered in the walkie- talkie and a few minutes later, I stepped forward and there he was, sitting by himself. The idea of getting up-close and personal to such a huge beast is terrifying. They say that seeing a mountain gorilla cannot be matched by any other experience with animals, and I can testify to that.
Fahari, Uganda Safaris, Organized for us an interesting and amazing trip. They cared much about us having a fantastic experience. We had an incredible time and we were able to capture so many awesome pictures. The organization of the trip and accommodations were excellent and the meals superb. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip!
Fahari, Uganda Safaris did not disappoint. They did an amazing job in putting together an amazing trip. I am already thinking about when to go back or which other trip I should take with them.

It was a wonderful 10 day safari: landscapes, animals and shared experience of our guide Surat.
We went to Kenya with SunUp Adventures. We do not know Kenya or even the Safaris. It was a wonderful stay, the course well organized and the discoveries just magnificent. Thanks to Surat for taking us to all these magical places. This trip will remain one of the most beautiful of our lives.
Thank you very much Surat.
