Review about Mikumi National Park by Elina
A lot of different animals are easy to spot in the flat landscape of Mikumi, but not a lot of changes in it. More like steppes and meadows.

Country of wonders
This was our first time to South Africa and we have had a smashing time from the start to the end. We landed in Johannesburg late and were going to another domestic flight, everyone in the airport was helpful to let us go through, simply there were all wonderful. We visited Hoedspruit town, a small town on the edge of Greater Kruger and it was lovely town settled between fruit farms and mountains on the horizon. We visited Karongwe Game Reserve, a niche place full of beautiful animals, we saw all big5 there. Then we went on the Panorama Tour which was absolutely stunning with so many beautiful views of mountains, rivers and waterfalls. Hazyview was our other stop, a larger busier but beautiful town on the edge of Kruger National Park. Kruger itself is just breathtaking, we saw so many animals! Everything is so well organised and looked after. Next stop was St.Lucia and iSinmangaliso wetland park. Wow place and must visit if you like hippos, rhinos, crocs and birds! Then Cape Town. What a place to live, sea & mountains, what else one needs in life. The shopping and pubs were great too. Trip to the top of Table Mountain is another a must do. Cape of Good Hope was a bit too packed with tourists to our liking but stunning nevertheless. Last stop was Hermanus and whale watching. 5 stars place. We met so many lovely people over the two weeks holidays, made unforgettable friends and memories. Everything worked smoothly, high level of service. Maybe we were just lucky but from my perspective we loved South Africa, and definitely will be coming back.

Tanzania was surprisingly diverse in culture and everything and scenically beautiful.
We booked a 5-day Safari Trip with African pangolin safaris. The Trip included 2 days Mikumi NP and 3 days Nyerere NP. It was only the 3 of us with our guide/driver and that was such a good choice. We were very flexible regarding (lunch) breaks while the game drive and the drive from one park to another. The weather was perfect for a safari trip, it was warm like 22-25 °C and sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, so very nice to be outside the whole day.
While Mikumi was a perfect start to see a lot of different animals (we were lucky and also saw lions on our first day there) Nyerere was a nice add on to that. In Nyerere there was more variety in the landscape, so more like bush and forests, but also steppes and meadows. Some lakes for crocodiles and hippos were there also. It was a guarantee to see different animals, but less than before because of the number of trees and bushes. If you could see anything it was so close, but thats an amazing feeling.
It was our first safari Trip, but certainly not the last. We would recommend going there in August. And not to worry about the moskito situation, we bought some moskito repellent in Tanzania for about 2000 Schilling and it lasts way more than 10 days. Furthermore there weren`t that much moskitos and all rooms were sprayed in the evening by the hotel staff.
We completed our holidays by flying to Zanzibar for another 9 days and liked the island as much as the safari.
So in conclusion Tanzania was a great destination for an unforgettable holiday trip.

Wonderful Safari Experience with KLA and Driver AYUBU!
The KLA is a good Safari team for the tourists. They arranged my 8 days trip according to my requirement. The planner whose name is KUSEKWA always response quickly to my questions. As for the driver AYUBU, he is not only a good driver, but also an excellent guide. He helped us to find lots of animals to see and we took good pictures. All in a word, this is a wonderful travel experience for us and hopefully we can go to Tanzania again in the future!

More then expected. Great expeirence
We were 2 adults and 2 kids (10 and 14). Safina explained us all and we went to our 5 days tour with Serengueti African Tours
The jeep was good had a fridge inside and could open top of the roof. Roads were bumpy sometimes so you get "free masaage" but then accomodations were perfect.
And special mention to Morgan. Our great spanish/english guide. He was really kind with us the whole trip. Everything was more than we expected.

Professional, reliable, accommodating and awesome.
It was our first African safari. Makini Tanzania Expedition prepared a quote accommodating all our requests. The quote was the best we got compared to that from other companies. Naomi was professional and very quick to respond. We were lucky to have Dickson as our guide throughout the trip. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best safari experience we could have ever imagined. Hotels we stayed in were great and food was delicious. All the people we met were nice and welcoming. Tanzania is a beautiful country. This trip was the closest we felt connected to nature in quite some time. Asante to everyone involved in our trip. We hope we can come back again.
