Our best expedition ever
We are a fairly fit elderly couple who really wanted a real 'bush' experience without staying in 5* lodges all the time.
We got it! Well done Benjamin! You gave us an experience to cherish for a life-time. We also appreciate every time you went the 'extra mile' on a game drive to see something special or the lovely meals in the bush. Really enjoyed your company and nice evenings around the fire with Scott your assistant.
Your selection of the itinerary, mixing it up with camping( nice tents and quality stretchers!) and then a day of two in luxury accommodation in between,
was on target- thank you! We spent two weeks in your company and enjoyed every day of it.
We can really recommend Benjamin and his tailor-made expeditions!! We thought great value for money.

The perfect experience
We had a lot of fun in the Kruger. Our guide had a lot of knowledge that he shared with us. He was always on the lookout for animals to show us as much as possible. We were able to see the Big Five and also saw all the cats. I can highly recommend Mbombela Experience. They are organized, motivated and dedicated.

Viva Safaris was incredible, they made every aspect of our safari experience 10/10.
The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, the lodge was quaint and nice and safe, and the food was SO good! Every single meal we were stuffed to the brim with delicious food. We saw so many different animals and birds, and the guides were wonderful at ensuring we had an interesting experience each time we went out on a drive or bush walk. They were very accommodating to any needs we had, including letting us stop to shop whenever we left the reserve, finding us hats in town that we all wanted to buy, and for anything else we asked of at the lodge. We really felt at home there and had so much fun. Balule is an incredible game reserve, and I am so glad we went with Viva Safaris as this was the trip of a lifetime!

Megan planned a great progression of experiences for newbies to Zambia.
We have just returned (June 8, 2023) from almost 2 weeks in Zambia, a safari trip planned & prepared for me, my son & my grandson by Megan Worthington with Discover Africa. It was our 1st trip to Africa & was wonderful, exceeding all expectations. We had 5 nights at South Luangwa National Park in 3 Robin Pope Safari camps, each one distinctive & in a separate area of the park & all exceptionally comfortable with delicious, abundant food & drink, perfect service & amazing guides. Konga, our 1st guide, detoured on the way to camp to see a pride of 5 lions at ease & napping. It was the beginning of many thrilling encounters with many animals with Konga, John & Sabastian all of whom had breathtaking knowledge of flora, fauna & history of Zambia.
We moved on by air (quirky Proflight & charter) to Jeki airstrip & Lower Zambesi NP. Tapello, who guided us with Lawrence picked us up for our trip to Anabezi, our luxury camp on the Zambezi River for 4 nights. We had met Dennis, the camp manager at the Lusaka airport & had a lovely conversation while waiting for our flight. Unlike the Robin Pope camp managers, all of whom were also guides, Dennis had studied tourism & hospitality, which showed in the very high level of professionalism in all areas of this much larger camp. In addition to the now familiar routine of morning & evening/night drives we also went fishing for tiger fish (caught 2) & for another boat ride that put us at almost eye level with the ubiquitous hippos.
Finally, we traveled on to Livingstone & Victoria Falls for 2 nights at the quite lovely & comfortable David Livingstone Lodge on the river. Vic Falls was almost at peak & stunning! Another thrill.
Overall, Megan planned a perfect progression of experience for us newbies. I cannot offer enough praise for the guides & staffs, who enthusiastically & graciously shared their beautiful country with us. Old hand travelers told us that the end of the dry season has more sightings, as the animals move to the rivers. We saw plenty of animals & species (only missed the rhinos) & enjoyed the weather & greener landscape.

Memorable and worry-free safari trip in Uganda
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 13-day safari trip in Uganda organised by Verdoro Safaris, and I cannot emphasize enough how extraordinary the experience was! From the moment we arrived until the bittersweet farewell, every aspect of the journey exceeded my expectations. The country's remarkable wildlife, stunning landscapes, warm people, and impeccable organization and communication through Jessie made this safari an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime.
Our journey began in Entebbe, where we were greeted by our knowledgeable and friendly tour guide Roger, who proved to be an invaluable asset throughout the trip. The itinerary was meticulously planned, allowing us to explore a variety of breathtaking destinations. From the vast savannahs of Murchison Falls National Park to the dense forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, each location provided its unique charm and an abundance of wildlife. The expertise of our guide Roger was evident as he skillfully navigated through the parks, ensuring we had the best vantage points for observing and capturing unforgettable moments.
Accommodation proposed by Verdoro Safaris throughout the safari was top-notch, ranging from cozy lodges nestled in the heart of nature to luxurious tented camps that offered the perfect blend of comfort and immersion. The lodges provided warm hospitality, delicious local cuisine, and stunning views that truly enhanced the overall experience.
I cannot praise our tour operator Verdoro Safaris enough for their impeccable service and attention to detail. From the seamless logistics to the knowledgeable guide, they ensured that every moment of our safari was memorable and worry-free. Their commitment to sustainable tourism and conservation efforts was also commendable, ensuring that our journey left a positive impact on both the environment and the local communities.

Wow!
I have just come back from the most fantastic 9 days in South Africa. Safari With Us organised a bespoke itinerary and their meticulous attention to detail couldn’t be faulted. Debbie and Andre were great; they were friendly, efficient and very caring. Everyone in the company, like Wilberforce the shuttle bus driver and Victor, who drover us to the game parks, were delightful. The rangers at Dinokeng were knowledgeable, even being able to track the direction elephants were moving from the indentations of their footprints alone, and able to answer any questions. We saw four of the big five in one day, but it was the smaller animals too which impressed, like the monitor lizard basking in the sunshine, or the puff adder on the road, or the monkeys in the trees. I couldn’t have wished for better. Safari With Us leave their competitors standing, especially when it comes to value for money. I went back to England a very satisfied customer.

Hospitable and warm hosts, memorable safari
Bongani and his family made this one of the best vacation experiences I have had. First time on the African continent, completely new to the surroundings, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Bongani arranged for me to be picked up at my hotel in Joburg, and I got a very pleasant ride to their lodge. His family is very welcoming, and fed me delicious food, and gave me a comfortable cottage to sleep. I have two lovely trips to Manyeleti and one daylong to Kruger with their careful planning. Did I say the food was delicious? I hope I can go back there again.
