Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Kaitlin
Loved Ngorongoro! The crater itself is incredibly beautiful even if it wasn't full of animals! We saw a water buffalo be taken down by a pride of lions....incredible!

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Kaitlin
We had a "poor" day in Lake Manyara in comparison to the rest of our safari days. The scenery was beautiful and felt like a jungle, but it also meant that animals were often hard to see. The flamingos were very far away to the point where you could only see them on the horizon.

Review about Okavango Delta by Vidyasagar Premkumar
Great wildlife sightings (both predators and plains animals) and birdlife. Delta from the air is magical for photography, with sitatungas in the channel and same as kwando - focus of guiding on what we are there for - wildlife

Awesomw - Great wildlife viewing and experiences
We visited the Kwando concession as part of our Botswana 2019 tour. We traveled as a family (this was our 7th safari in africa having visited over 11countries). Kwando provided the best action, 15+new wildlife species, great action and perfect setting for wildlife safari and photography. We chose a private vehicle with guide Spencer(lebala and lagoon) and Tom (Splash) and it was perfect.
Wildlife - what can I say - Wild dogs, lions and cheetahs every day in hunt, kills and full action. In addition we saw aardwolves, african wild cat, serval, brown hyenas, side striped jackals, genet, civet, honey badgers,bat eared foxes in addition to spotted hyenas. New bird lifers for us included Carmine bee eaters, Goliath herons, Verreaux eagle owl and lots of plains animals such as Roan, Sable, Red Lechwe and sitatunga in splash
Accomodation - Lebala : Great location, easy to get to different locations, , great rooms and best food among the three camps we stayed in kwando, cozy layout and more compact camp; Lagoon - Very picturesque, family room was magical with a private sitout inside and outside, animals come to drink at the kwando river and we saw multiple hunts close to the river. food was good with lots of snacks and drinks. Splash was newer,with new fixtures, comforts and beautiful layout. It was more spreadout
Weather was cold in early morinings and late night , which can be easily handled with a good jacket. Lots of golden light for photography, vehicles were excellent

Majestic sand dunes,hundreds of thousands of sea lions,diverse game viewing in Etosha and lots more
We loved our Oshili Tour and Travel trip.Our guide,Granville, was very attentive to our needs.Food and accommodations were excellent!!
We saw an amazing diversity of wildlife especially in Etosha,and our son was ecstatic about quading amongst the dunes.The desert landscapes were stunning and we got some exposure to a some of the tribal cultures in the North. We were overwhelmed by the numbersof sea lions along the Skeleton Coast ..I could go on and on about our adventures!! Truly awesome!!!

Fabulous Safari
Kenya was a wonderful place to have a safari. We went to three separate parks, each of which offered unique environments and animal life, from arid/desert (Samburu) to rift valley lake side (Nakuru) to savannah (the Massai Mara). The Migration in the Massai Mara in August is unbelievable - literally millions of Wildebeests - and not to be missed!.

Once is not enough.
We had been in safari before in South Africa, and I have to say that the animal in Kenya is much bigger in size and more vibrant in color. We went in July and the weather was beautiful. Nothing beat the hospitality of the Kenyan. It is a place that I would highly recommend everyone to visit, not once but maybe 2 or 3 times at least.

Incredible experience
We absolutely loved our safari! We saw the big 5 in the first 3 days of a 6 day safari, saw >15 lions a day and had baby cheetahs playing on our car at one point!! Glamping was incredible....nicer than most hotels in the US! What really made the trip, though, was our incredible guide! Elamus loved his job and it showed. He was great at finding animals so that we could see them up close without a million cars around. He took us out as the sun was rising and we didn't go back to camp until the sun was setting. We thought that a safari would be fun, but it was just absolutely incredible!!

Magnificent landscape, astonishing wildlife and welcoming people make it a journey of a lifetime!
Me and my husband were met at the airport by the representative of a safari company and driven to Arusha from where we had started our first safari. The manager Shabani Mbirize welcomed us at his office and explained the safari programme in detail. We had 6 days/5 nights camping safari in Tarangire park, Lake Manyara park, Serengeti 2 nights and Ngorongoro Crater. We were satisfied by the price and the quality of our safari. Our friendly driver Leonard was very attentive during the whole safari. Despite some problems with the battery of the car, he managed to show us everything we wanted :). The chef Saide always made us delicious food and kept saying to eat it slowly, slowly :)).We really enjoyed the time there. Thank you guys! The weather was wonderful, except for a little bit of rain and quite a chilly night on Ngorongoro rim (good sleeping bags are needed). The changing scenery with its mountainous views, bushy savannahs and endless plains was stunning, we were happy to see lots of different species of animals including a cheetah, a leopard with a baby, lots of lions, gnus, gazelles, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, monkeys, hippos, crocodiles and hundreds of species of colourful and interesting birds. We enjoyed our accomodation with the evening acrobatic and dance show of the local performers and a spectacular sunrise at Panorama Public Campsite. However, Seronera public campsite in Serengeti is a bit overcrowded and dirty with cold showers and lack of toilet paper. But still, the shouts of hyenas wondering around at night around your tent make it an amazing life experience :). Simba public campsite is a special place with zebras grazing around all night long till the early morning and the elephant standing just in front of you by the washrooms :)). Tanzania is a perfect holiday destination for nature lovers!

Review about Botswana by Vidyasagar Premkumar
Great for safari - having been to safari over 11 countries, botswana provided us with a true sense of wilderness, great bush vibe and the viewing of wildlife (predators or plains animals) was awesome - the animals had great space and as a result we were able to see behaviors every day rather than once or twice in the whole safari.
With fewer vehicles, the predator sightings were great with no overcrowding, jostling and intrusion into the wildlife movements
