Review about Kruger National Park by Allison Huff
Kruger is a must see if you are going to South Africa! Do as many game drives as possible and see how many animals you can see :)

Amazing wildlife
Visited in October with Savannah Explorer and it was amazing to see the animals in their natural surroundings. About 2 to 2 hours drive to each national park and the public toilets were nice and clean. Be prepared for a bumpy ride as the roads can be quite rough. We managed to witness the Wilderbeest migration. The accommodation provided were nice and comfortable and the staff looked after you well. Tanzania is rich in culture and they made you feel welcoming.

A once in a lifetime opportunity
South Africa is a must see on anyone's list. They have entertainment for all! You can go from hiking in national parks, to visiting wineries, to sarfari rides and seeing animals, to bungee jumping and cage diving with great white sharks. There is always adventure waiting around the corner!
We had a fantastic time with Shinzelle Safaris! They really took care of us and made sure we got to do and see everything we wanted. Would 100% recommend them!

Wow
Spent time in the national parks on safari. Saw lots of animals up close including lions, leopards and cheetahs. Very fantastic experience. Plus our guide , Lemomo, was very knowledgable, and the other people at Safari Z went out of their way to help us. Stay in the parks if you can. Hear the animals prowling at night. Staff at the lodges also added to the experience. We both would recommend the trip.

We were in Tanzania Park Mikumi. The guide was very good prepared ant took good care of us.
We spent really great time on safari in Park Mikumi. Everything was organized perfectly. Starting from the flight from Stone City with a small plane. Views from the lane flying over park was marvelous. We've seen even some zebras running. Safari is a unforgetable experience. Our guide did everything to show us wild animals from really short distance.

Better experience than we ever could imagined
For many years we have longed for a Safari journey. After we have been recommended to choose Easy Travel by friends, this tour operator fulfilled our dreams from all aspects. Everything worked perfect. We have seen a lot of animals and got much closer to them than we ever have dreamed off.
Our amazing and skilled safari driver & guide, Ombeni, taught us a lot about the animals and answered all our questions. He also told us about the Tanzanian society and now we know so much more about Tanzania than before.
Norah at the office gave us a great customer experience. From start to end we felt so well taken care of, and we definitively want to recommend Easy Travel as a fantastic tour operator.

Journey of a Lifetime
I had been wanting to book my first Africa trip for a long time. My consultant at Jenman took care of everything and advised me of what to expect. Every part of the trip went smoothly and the tour was well organized. The vehicle was nice and comfortable and the food was good quality with more variety than I expected. Our Guide was phenomenal, super friendly and knowledgeable and showed a real respect and love for Africa. Seeing the birds and wildlife was an unforgettable experience, one to cherish for a lifetime

Gems was communicative, flexible, and helpful.
Visiting Kruger National Park was a must for our South Africa vacation. The logistics, however, were not easy. After significant research, we contacted Gems and within hours had secured ground transportation from Jo'burg, a stay at the Mdluli Lodge, and ground transportation back via the Panorama Route with stops along the way. Our driver was very timely and accommodating. The Lodge was wonderful and thanks to Gems, we secured the full board plan which allowed us to enjoy the magnificent location without worrying about meal plans. I highly recommend Gems for any foreign travelers wanting convenient and safe transportation and lodging.

Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful 6 days thanks to the whole team at Cubs Expeditions!
Humphrey, the manager, is very attentive, available and responsive. The welcome in the hotel in Arusha was great and we’ve been placed in a quiet hotel with a lovely staff, green surroundings and a swimming pool. We had a small preparatory meeting before our safari trip with Humphrey who answered all our questions and even organised us a small tour around Arusha as a bonus prior to our safari trip.
With our guide Fedelis we travelled around Arusha and did an additional trip to Materuni waterfalls and coffee plantation. Fedelis was very kind, humble and friendly and gave us Swahili lessons to familiarise us with Tanzanian customs. He was always on time and going an extra mile to show us the additional points of interests along the way.
As a main part of our safari trip we covered 4 beautiful national parks: Tangarire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park and Lake Manyara. The experience of the crew allowed us to discover the best of each park while seeing almost every animal in a Big Five and many others! The guide explained us a lot of things about the fauna and flora and the cook prepared a hot, delicious meal for us every day at lunchtime and every evening (unlike other operators who were providing some lunch boxes). The breakfasts were enormous and all meals were done in a beautiful settings of nature.
There is the possibility to charge the phones in the jeep and a wifi is also available in some campsites, although the camps are rather spartan but the essentials are present. The magic of these camps is to sleep in the middle of the parks and animals just passing by your tents. It is necessary to bring a torch for the camps and warm clothes for the crater but all the material for the camping is provided. The hint is also to bring your binocluars to have the best visibility during the safari.
You can pay for the trip in USD or TZS via bank transfer without any commmission fees which was a great solution for us as we didn’t have the option to withdraw so much cash in both currencies.
In addition, the transfer from/to Kilimanjaro or Arusha airports are included as well as hotel accommodation and breakfast in Arusha so there are no last minute surprises and everything is on time.
Our stay was truly exceptional and will be remembered for a long time. Thank you again / Asante sana and we recommend the entire team of Cubs Expeditions!
