Four Days in Paradise
It is a pity that there are only five stars to rate our stay at the Ku Sungula Safari Lodge, because the lodge, the reserve and all we experienced was worth a lot more than that.
Paola is a well-travelled visitor of African reserves and lodges, from Kenya, Namibia, Tanzania and Botswana, while the four days we spent in the Kruger were my very best stay in an African lodge. We chose the Ku Sungula through Safaribookings becuase we liked the versatility of the portal and the description of the lodge. Still, I would have never expected the much we definitely found and the bonuses we enjoyed.
The whole process of inquiry and booking went smooth and easy. Yolanda, who then we met at the lodge, was just perfect in replying quickly to all my requests of information.
The great and extremely pleasant surprise came with the arrival to the lodge: friendly and caring staff, great attention to all services, the neat and cozy cottage they assigned to us, fantastic food served on immaculate tableclothes for breakfast and lunch, while watching elephants, zebras and giraffes grazing and walking right in front of our eyes. As well as a warm boma dinner time spent with the other guests of the lodge. All was as described and shown in the lodge's web site. Even a lot better than a picture or a blurb can describe.
And then the early morning and the night safari games with a brilliant Moses, as well as the great tracker (the best "eyes of Africa" in spotting wildlife, as Paola called him) sitting in front of the reliable and sturdy car.
We have been able to spot all Big Five and much, much more, mostly close to the car but always with a sense of safety given by the both driver and tracker. This has certainly been the most rewarding experience of the whole 4-week trip in South Africa and quite likely one of the very best travel experiences both Paola and I have made during these past twenty years spent together travelling across all continents.
A REAL paradise that unfortately lasted only four days. I wish I had previously decided to stay longer than that.
A special thank goes to fabulous Yolanda, who did a lot more than we would expect from a manager-in-residence. She offered us an unforgettable surprise candle-lit dinner for our anniversary that I had only brielfy mentioned to her. Yolanda also arranged for us a safari inside the Kruger NP with Bress, a nice, experienced and multi-skilled English lady who has resided here for over 15 years . Furthermore, Yolanda arranged for us the booking of one unplanned flight and drove us personally to Huidspruit airport. It is very hard to thank her properly.
We only hope to come back soon to Kruger and Ku Sungula, which we could certainly consider our wonderful home-away-from home.

Maximum professionalism and seriousness!
This summer I booked with this agency, Telly Africa, a daily safari from Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park (with the flight from Zanzibar to selous included). It was one of the greatest experiences of my entire life. The organization from Mohammed Haroun was perfect: he sent for us an extremely kind driver, Mohammed, who took us from our resort to the airport and back; Munhill, who took care of our flight tickets while we were waiting at the airport; and last but not least Martin, our safari guide, who was able to show us lots of amazing animals even though we visited the savannah just for one day. I hope one day I’ll be able to come back in this beautiful country to live once again all this incedibile emotions I never felt before!

Do not go with them on safari!
Don't go with 3 wonders! I would not recommend it at all.
Broken equipment (chairs, sleeping bags with no zip, tents with holes), poor organization (3h lunch, no dynamism), risky behavior (the driver had no tent not sleeping bag so did not sleep for 3 days).
Very packed car with a lot of problems (motor, windshield, wheels).
We had to build ourselves the tents, waiting 4h for food, doing very few game driving with the guide who had no knowledge of the wild life and did not bother stopping to see animals.
When confronting them, they did not acknowledge the poor service provided, although we all paid 200$/day/pers. for a zero level safari service, moreover putting our lives in danger with risky behavior (driving fast, equipment on the roof not secured, one door broken etc.)
There are plenty other companies who will do a lot better with the same amount of money!

Incredible experience
Firstly, Winnie our correspondant from Kihindo been very helpful and to organise the different activities in the trip on to choose the safari place. She been very patient, good adviser and reactive about all my questions (it was a lot). She already gave me a good impression of the company.
About the trip, our driver/guide Bakary was very nice, patient and answer all the question we had. We been to a Massai village, it was a out of time experience and we also did the safary in Mikumi park who been as promised, incredible.
Back in Dar es Salam, we also booked a tour of the city. Peter our guide of the day was also very nice, friendly and explained everything we was seeing. We been in many places, museums, markets, fish market, etc but also he took me in local places that he know for discovering more.
Thank you very much to you all, you a big part of our enjoyment in Tanzania. I recommend 100000%!!

The Best 5 Day Safari with Excellent service, and unique experience
Everything was very well organized, from the airport pick-up to the last minute. Professional and ensured we had the best tour experience possible. The food was excellent, and the accommodations exceeded expectations. They take all comments seriously and go out of their way to accommodate us in the best way possible. Our contact person, Nic, and our driver, Morgan, are fantastic. I would strongly recommend Mujuni African Adventures for a Tanzania safari.

Awesome
We had a great time on the safari. Our guide was really good at finding the best locations to spot all the animals. We slept in tents which were set up for us before we arrived at the camp ground. The food was always freshly cooked and tasted really good. I would recommend taking a little snack with you, as the time between breakfast and lunch can be quite long.
Other than that it was absolutely amazing and they did everything to make us feel comfortable

Very easy organisation, friendly and motivated
We really enjoyed our Safari, saw many animals, ate the best food and had a great time with our really friendly driver who always drove us to places to see unique things but also managed to take us to less crowded places and gave us enough time to enjoy the animals!
Great experience!
