friendly atmosphere with a lot of interesting facts
I booked tour with Rainbow (Polish tour operator). We had safari in Kenia and Tanzania. During the safari in Tanzania George was our driver and tour guide. His English is perfect. George is super nice and creates friendly atmosphere. Each day we heard a lot of interesting facts about animals, plants and culture. He always knew answer to our questions :) George has great experience that he uses to find best spots for animal observation.

Amazing Experience
The manager and the all staffs are so kind and helpful. Since when we were in Japan, we could contact the manager very well and he responded so quickly. We went to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire for 4 days. Our guide know well, so we saw a lot of animals and he gave us many information of the animals. The tour includes all of stuff and we can stay in their hotel before and after the safari tour. I think that the price of tour is reasonable. I never forget this special experience with the operator, Meru Slopes.

Wonderful
Excellent and timely communication. Arrangements were beyond our expectations.We had special need for our meals with lots of restrictions. What we got was beyond our wildest expectations.
The most professional, friendly and accomodating tour company in the world!
Liberty from Cocoon Safaris was fantastic. Knowledgeable, organised, competitive-pricing and with an excellent air-conditioned vehicle. Nothing we asked was too difficult. We enjoyed a day trip to Botswana and airport transfers. I couldn't recommend this wonderful independent business more highly.

Day walk through Isalo National Park
Spent a full day walking through the park, including a visit to the Piscine Naturelle and through canyon. Very pleasant any enjoyable, though very hot and with not a lot of shade. With a good guide, as we had, we saw a good amount of wildlife, including some wild lemurs very close up. Highlight was probably the scenery, which was quite spectacular and really quite varied. The Piscine Naturelle was nice and very welcome for a swim in the heat, but not the highlight. Some ups and downs, but on the whole the walking was not too difficult and made for a good day.

An excellent game park but let down by poor maintenance and management
We hired a lodge for a family of six at Hluhluwe Hilltop Camp which was excellent. During our three day stay we experienced the game park, including a game drive which too, were excellent. What was not good however was how the place was managed and maintained. For example:
1) There were only 2 x washing machines for the whole camp and both were broken!!! On inquiring I learnt they had been out of order for at least two weeks prior to our arrival.
2) Secondly, the swimming pool was full of green water. Completely unusable for lack of regular cleaning and maintenance. It looked as though the pool had been in this condition for weeks.
3) The shop, as advertised on the website was virtually empty of anything useful apart from small quantities of tea sugar plus two small loaves of bread. The shelves were empty due to nobody ordering stock and goodness only knows for how long. We had to waste a morning driving out of the park to buy groceries.
4) On several occasions there did not seem to be enough restaurant or bar staff on duty resulting in long waits.
I strongly urge management not to forget that things do breakdown and therefore have to be repaired in a timely fashion. Shelves don't restock themselves neither do swimming pools clean themselves. It's called management!!!

Visit to Selous with "Smile with us Tours in Africa"
We booked a three day safari in Selous Game Reserve with a two night stay at the Africa Safari Lodge with "Smile with us Tours in Africa". The tour was perfectly in line with the description on Safari Bookings and we really enjoyed the safari! Jacob (the tour operator) was very responsive and flexible when planning the safari. He and his team were also super supportive in obtaining a Tanzanian visa (which is not easy for Ethiopian citizens).
