Excellent. Everything went well!
I booked a budget 3-day safari to Kruger. Everything went well. I got what was in the flyer, but it was better than what I was expecting. Very good price-quality relationship. We saw many animals including rarely-seen ones like cheetahs.

Uncoordinated, rushed and disappointing experience.
Having such a beautiful country, this should be such an easy job. Well it was not, it appears that the group I was in was too large for the company so they had to hire an external contractor, 3 busses from the conpany, one outsider. The best experience was the outside contractor. There was no coordination between the drivers, it almost appeared that the 3 drivers from the company had a problem with the outside contractor and did not support him in any way. The 4th driver with the people he had in his care were abandoned 2 times on the safari, one time for 1 hour and a half, when the bus could not move and see anything because the papers for the bus were with the other drivers. So 7 people out of 27 missed a part of the safari, the only encounter with a leopard. After all this, at the end of the safari we were suppose to cross the river and see the big migration, but the car we were in could not cross, luckily we were taken by a total stranger group ... otherwise we would have missed it. Last but not least our driver kept being harrassed by the others to drive faster on public roads, break the speed limit and really put our lives in dager with unsafe driving, I have seen him being called literally every 5 minutes, I felt UNSAFE! So yes ... poor experience in one of the most amazing places in the world!
Once in a lifetime experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We did a 5 day safari trip 2 days in Kruger and 3 nights on a private reserve at Umkumbe. Both were great. We stayed at Sabie River Bush lodge for the first 2 nights as a base for Kruger and although a little rougher around the edges, it's right on the river with a herd of hippos right at your doorstep. We were lucky enough to see them come right to the fence along with a herd of elephants. That made it all worthwhile. We saw lots of animals inside Kruger including cheetas up close, which are apparently rare to see. Umkumbe was much more upmarket and I recommend getting one of their luxury tents. The focus here was all about trying to spot a leopard, which sadly we didn't but we saw some rhinos, hyenas, lions and ostriches. I recommend both going into Kruger and doing a private game reserve as they're two totally different experiences. Brendon from Elephant Herd was really accommodating and didn't mind me emailing him with questions while we were travelling. I would also recommend flying to and from Johannesburg as the bus drive out was quite long.

Fantastic!
We traveled in Tanzania and Zanzibar for almost three weeks and we loved every minute of it. We saw everything we hoped to see and more in Serengeti, the people in Tanzania were so welcoming and friendly, and we usually felt very safe. Salesmen in Zanzibar were pushy though, so that is the only thing we can mention was a bit tiring.

A spectacular, friendly country
Our family of 16 spent two weeks in Tanzania. The first 10 days were on safari in the north western corner of the country in the last few days at a beach resort in Zanzibar we saw all the wildlife you could possibly imagine. The Ngorongoro crater was the garden of Eden. We ran into the migration of the wildebeests, which was amazing and we finally chilled out on the beach, including a sunset sale on a do and diving with the dolphins. The spice farm tour was also wonderful.

Trip of a lifetime
Sunday Safaries was very helpful in setting up our trip. Questions were answered very quickly and communication with Sunday Safaries was very good. The entire organization from booking, through airport pick up and drop off was smooth and well organized. Our guide Sunday was excellent and shared a lot of information about the animals, the park, culture and the country.
We enjoyed 12 day safari greatly and had the opportunity to see a large number of animals. We are looking forward returning to Tanzania to explore more of the parks and country. We can highly recommend Sunday Safaries. Thank you for providing such a great experience!

Awesome Company
Fantastic what’s app communication from the UK with the service provided beyond our expectations for 12 people with various dietary requirements. The tour was truly unforgettable in terms of value for money, reliability and the organisation skills in caring for the varied age group from 11 years to the mid seventies was truly remarkable. My birthday celebration in Serengeti was out of this world!!!
