GreenHippo Travels has created amazing memories for us! Great organisation & communication!
We had a wonderful time in Tanzania and Zanzibar. Due to the app we received before our holiday we had all information needed and it was a great way to prepare for our trip. Also on sustainable level! During our holiday everything went really smooth, on time, great people, great locations and great mixture in the program. The different activities were spot on. GreenHippo made the holiday different than all the other agents in Tanzania and was really on top of everything. I am a big traveller but this was the best experience with an travel agency ever! Our guide, Peter, really knew everything and was great with the kids! Love GreenHippo Travel!

Value for money
Jakobo smoothly arranged a day tour for us to visit Sadaani National Park from Dar es Salaam. It was a lovely safari vehicle, they also organised lunch and a boat ride as per our wishes. Our tour guide helped us to see as many animals as we could. It was a great day and we are thankful.

Exactly what we wanted and needed
We did an 8N/9D safari in June. The original plan was to go in 2021 but because of Covid everything was postponed. Thale was very understanding and was happy to accommodate us this year, 2022, instead. She also organized us a custom made trip where we skipped the beach but did only safari parks: We stayed 1 night in Blyde Canyon, 5 in Kruger and 2 in Hluhluwe.
We had two guides: Chris for Blyde and Kruger and Trompie for Hluhluwe. Two completely different people for the two different parts of our trip. Both were very knowledgeable and gave tons of information, making us feel like we could be safari guides ourselves by the end.
They also provided us with great meals. I loved the braai, the braaibroodje and the Durban Curry. Chris even surprised us with a typical African dish called Pap in South Africa or Sadza in Zimbabwe, when we told we wanted to eat as African as possible.
I knew I was going to love South(ern) Africa but I fell head over heals. Wild Planet was fantastic in helping out reaching this feeling. I wish I could go back tomorrow!
Thank you very much for making this all possible

Review about Tsavo West National Park by Tarik Cicic
You do not see masses of big fauna as in Masai Mara, but absolutely stunning beauty. Do not miss Mzima Springs.

Review about Tsavo East National Park by Tarik Cicic
14000 km2 of wilderness. You do not stumble across big fauna as in Masai Mara, but absolutely stunning.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Tarik Cicic
Nakuru is more a park than bush. Incredibly beautiful though.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Tarik Cicic
I'm not a birder but this must be the birder's paradise. I must have identified 40 species in one day.

Lovely culture, lovely people, lovely country!
July is winter in South Africa, but the days were absolutely beautiful, and the cooler nights were crisp and calming. We were only in Johannesburg and Pretoria, and I would love to go back to see the rest of South Africa! I cannot recommend Safari Bookings website enough - they had great communication and made sure we were connecting with the tour offices we had booked. I also cannot recommend MMilo Tours enough! We had a pleasant 2.5 hour ride to our destination with the best driver who went out of his way to find us a Starbucks so we could take home a mug! Our tour turned out to be so much more than we expected. Beautiful experience seeing all the wildlife with a most knowledgeable and helpful tour guide. Fantastic trip! I hope I get to visit South Africa again!
