Amazing experience from the beginning to the ending of trip!
My first safari experience was in Kenya, an unforgettable 2 weeks that brought sightings of each one of the Big Five and to watch my only glimpse of lions and cheetah on a hunt!!
The journey began from Nairobi heading north to Samburu and went down to Sweetwater, Lake Naivasha and ended at Maasai Mara. We had a great safari with Joseph and Tony (2 group members, 2 cars). We saw a lot of beautiful animals during the 12 days. Cheetah, leopard, serval cat, hippos, hyenas, zebras, warthogs, dik-dik, giraffe, and many more you name it! Joseph & Tony are a well experienced guides with a very good knowledge of animals and Kenya. They are also a safe and reliable driver. They found a good alternative to the bad road to Masai Mara. Tony was a driver of my group, he literally knows everything about every single animal. It’s amazing when he foreseeing the behavior patten of animals and it turned out exactly like what he told - we all learned so much from him.
This was by far our best experience. It exceeded our expectations and we were so lucky with what we saw. If I was to do a safari again it would definitely be in the Masai Mara and definitely with Joseph & Tony and Nature's Wonderland Company!
Good Job!!

Nothing Beats The Kruger
The Kruger National park offers the best bushveld experience. We stayed in Pretoriuskop with scenic drives towards Skukuza and picnics overlooking the Sabie river. We saw many elephant, they are abundant in the area, we also spotted cheetah on a game drive early morning. July is a great time to visit the Kruger as it is mild during the day, and even though it can get chilly at night. It s great to sit around the campfire under the stars to keep you warm. If on a budget it is best to self cater either camping or in a chalet. The Kruger is definitely a place to get closer to nature and experience the bushveld in all its glory.

One of the best safari trips in Tanzania
Ngorongoro Crater.
We drove up to the crater and coulndt see anything because of all the fog, I was thinking there goes a great day...
I couldn't be more wrong!
When we drove in we saw the complete crater and al of his beauty.
In there the landscape mainly excist out of grasland we saw Buffalow's, wilderbeast, zebra's, lion's, antilope's, hogwarts, some Elephants, a huge group of flamingos and a Giraffe on the edge.
Al of the craters edges are filled with bushes and trees, great for pictures.
After a great tour we went back up the edge and had the most beautifull view of the entire crater, I loved it!
I certainly recommend going there!

we are donna and larry kaplan, adventure travelers since the late 60s, who are reaping what we sowed by living very simply for many years. we now have the cash to book these pricey tours.
safaribookings.com was a great site to find. we wanted a week in etosha and nothing more. wild wind safaris was the only one doing a week in etosha so i reached out to them. david at wild wind handled our correspondence and booking and monitored our tour the entire week. you could not ask for a better person to do that for you. he was efficient, knowledgeable, professional and prompt with his responses. he tweaked wild wind's tour to provide us with our week in etosha. david delivered in everything he promised including providing a 40 gallon water tank to refill our reusable liters.
come on people. stop using single use plastic water bottles. it is immoral.
a tour organizer is crucial but the guide/driver is the main part of the tour. a great guide means a tour could be great. a so-so guide can really dim the luster. i hope namibians continue to pursue the guiding profession. i hope tour organizers compensate them well.
our guide was abel kuyonisa and we could not have asked for more. all the adjectives i used for david apply to abel. he was efficient, knowledgeable, and professional. abel was always early and always courteous to all we encountered. abel truly cares about his clients. he is personable and a good story teller. we highly recommend abel to guide you anywhere in namibia and beyond.
sincerely,
larry kaplan
