Tydon Safaris-Highly Recommended
Went on a 4-day, 3-night safari with Tydon Safaris to Sabi Sands Preserve and Kruger National Park and had a wonderful time. The guides were knowledgable, nice, fun, laid back - just what you needed. The food and tents were fantastic. I have to say, i liked the type of safari done at Sabi Sands better than Kruger. It was truly off-roading and closer to nature. I saw everything i wanted to see and more!
i was picked up from my hotel in the joberg area and was driven solo to the tenting camp - glamping is more like it. it was a long drive, but not bad.
the drive back to Joberg airport was very scenic. we took the panoramic route.

It was incredible
The places we visited were gorgeous! We did the Safari with Enchanting and James, our guide, was really good. He was very confident about the roads, and give as a lot of information. He made us feel very comfortable during all trip. Edna helped us to choose the itinerary and she was very sensitive with as. Also the accommodation was great. We stayed at Serena in Ngorongoro NP and then in Tending Bush Camps at Serengueti NP. I strongly recommend Enchanting as a excellent company to do the Safari. Hope could do another Safari with them soon.

Amazing
We saw all the big 5 and more!. We had excellent accommodations, food, guides, it was a trip of a lifetime!. We would like to return when there is a bit more water in the delta and see the differences the delta has to offer. We really enjoyed ourselves and the adventure. TYto safaribookings and to Judy Burrows for setting the trip up for us

tour is good,but food and companyis bad
Amboseli is not so good.
It has many elephants ,but others are not so many.
And my tour company is really really the worth.
They told me that I could pay all of price by cresit card,but actually it could do for only deposit.
And they did not tell me the fee of cresit.
And they said water was included,but actually not.
And food was bad, There were always flies around the dishes.
The guide of the lake Nakuru and Amboseli was also the worst.
He was often late ,and could not find the wild animals.
And,when he took me the next place,he dropped off many times because he wanted to buy goods.
So, I have less time to see the wild animals.
I appreciate my tour mates because they could find more animals than his.

Exceeded all expectations.
Perfect in every way. That’s how we would describe the last seven days with Shemeji Safaris. Our guide was knowledgeable, kind, courteous and absolutely brilliant at spotting and identifying the birds and beasts we have seen. He prayed for our safari and boy were his prayers answered! We saw the big five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. Elephants in abundance and one cheetah and rhino sighting. Two leopard watching experiences and several lion sightings. They were actually more than sightings as we were able to watch them stretch and yawn and go from place to place. Best of all was the time we saw a pride of lions comprising two males, four lionesses and six cubs. It’s hard to describe how beautiful it is to see these amazing creatures in their habitats. Our biggest thrill was seeing thousands and thousands of wildebeest and zebra herds migrating across the Serengeti. We were spellbound and quite emotional, it was so incredible. We also saw bat-eared foxes, two different types of jackal, lots of hippos, mongoose, gazelles, impala, hartebeest, waterbuck, baboons, monkeys, crocodiles and more. Giraffes became so commonplace we stopped photographing them. We were both intrigued by the birds. We saw eagles, kestrels, superb starlings, a kingfisher, stork, bustards, vultures and flamingoes. I think if anything took us most by surprise it was how all the animals coexisted and how often we saw impala and Thompson gazelles mingling with herds of wildebeest and zebra. And surrounded by storks and with other birds happily hitching a ride on any animal that would have them!
Our accommodation has been in tented lodges with bathrooms—all quite basic but spotless and the hospitality of the staff has been very touching. On arriving at our last camp they spotted our muddy sandals and insisted on cleaning them for us, returning them looking like brand new. One night we were in the mountains in Ngorongoro Crater and during dinner we were asked if we would like them to light the wood burning stove for us. It was at 2300 metres altitude and a little chilly so we were very grateful.
There is so much more I could say but this has been the trip of a lifetime.

Above expectations
We experianced a perfectly organized safari. Very kind people (guide/travel agent/locals) and beautiful wildlife.
If we need to point out some down sides, than its the cancellation of our last stay due to heavy rain. So we stayed in a bit more crowded lodge.
And the lunch boxes were not very varied. But this is just a minor.

One of those lifetime trips which kept our priorities and budget in mind.
We have just returned from the most amazing travel adventure through Rwanda, Uganda and South Africa, including a gorilla trek and safari, all of which was organized by Chris and team.
This area of travel was new to us, nor are we experienced travellers, and we had a specific budget to be met. We gave Chris a very long list of things and places we wanted to see and do. Somehow he found a way to meet and exceed every expectation.
From the day we left to the moment we arrived home, it was like someone was always there to ensure we were at the right spot, at the right time. The accommodations, the transfers, and the people were incredible.
Thank you so much for the advice and guiding our trip in such a way to achieve what we wanted and understanding our priorities. It was definitely memorable for all the right reasons.
Now.... if only Chris could do something about the snow we came home to!
