The best trip of my life
This was an amazing trip. The accommodations were the exact mix we were looking for, something that let us stay in close proximity of the animals but still with reasonable protections. We saw almost every animal we'd ever wanted to, thanks in large part to a great guide, Chris, of Wild Planet Safaris. The food also gave us a taste of some genuine South African dishes with reminders of home, too.
Highly-recommended!!

Being in the bush in South Africa was a life - changing experience.
There is nothing quite like seeing wildlife in their natural habitat. South Africa was an excellent destination. We spent time in Kruger National Park and Sabi Sands. Waking up early in the morning to the sounds of birds and the gorgeous scenery was exciting. The guides were professional and enjoyed their profession. The food was amazing; sitting around a BOMA at night with fellow travelers was such fun. May was a great month to visit. Lots of wildlife to see in comfortable weather conditions.

It’s the best experience I’ve ever had.
We did a 6 day/ 5 night safari. We started off in Arusha, then drove to Ngorongoro crater for a safari drive and 1 night stay, and then on to Serengeti for 4 nights. Our tour was conducted by Tanzania Wild Destination led by Charles and John as our driver guides. From the time we left Arusha and ended our tour on the airstrip at the Serengeti, our friendly and knowledgeable guides looked after our every need and exceeded our expectations. Charles and John were fully informed of the itinerary and our whole plan was executed without any hitches. The lodging at Ngorongoro and the Tortillis camp in the Serengeti were excellent. The staff at the Tortillis camp was very hospitable, and it was a great experience. The meals at the camp were exceptional. The picnic hampers they provided us for our daily safaris were well planned and delicious. Charles and John took us to different parts of the Serengeti every day and guided us to locations where we were able to see over 40 lions, 3 leopards, cheetahs and even the black rhino – most of them at hands length. We saw virtually every animal that lives in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. They were also very knowledgeable about the birds and the smaller animals which made it interesting and very informative. The entire trip was well planned, neatly executed, while accommodating all our requests. The personalized attention we received helped us leave as friends which made the experience even more special.
We recommend Wildebeest Safaris without any reservation. With Tanzania Wild Destination Charles and John as your guides, you will be guaranteed an exceptional experience

Amazing!
The safari was everything we expected. The daily schedule was accurate and our driver Isaac kept everything on track. We got to see everything we could have hoped for. The lodging is at it says budget but you have all the modern amenities one would need. Overall it seems that the main distinction of a good Safari is who your driver is and ours was the best. Thanks Isaac!

Amazing trip
I was a solo traveler and I booked with Lenchada safaris for one day tour in Nairobi and two days tour to Amboseli. It was really nice, I had two drivers and they were so kind and helpful.
I really enjoy it.

Simon Njuguna was very professional when we booked 2 flights and a holiday at Diani Beach.
As I said above Simon was very quick to respond to our request to book a flight to Burundi, Ukunda and a holiday in the Baobab Hotel, Diani Beach. He supplied us with all the information we needed to make an informed choice and everything worked perfectly.

Review of trip to Victoria Falls and Chobe Game Lodge
Planning with Zambezi was very easy, very accommodating, "last minute" changes made easily.
Everything went as discussed, with no delays.
Ilala Lodge was excellent, particularly the location. Sunset cruise was wonderful too, though not many animals.
One minor sanfu: we had wanted to be picked up at Ilala at 2pm for our drive to Chobe Game Lodge. They said that wasn't possible (something about the border being closed?), that we would have to leave at 11:30 or so. Later they agreed it was okay. Eventually we left a 1 pm, which actually got us to Chobe in time for the sunset river cruise (which turned out to be the only day we were there that they offered it).
Chobe Game Lodge was fantastic. We stated in the Honeymoon Suite, with plunge pool, and lots of space.
We were assigned the same guide for most all of our drives and river cruises. Her name is RB and she was terrific.
We saw most every game animal we wanted (including a leopard, for a brief few seconds). No zebras and hyenas this time.
Our one disappointment was the food, lunch and dinner. They seem to be able to get many different fresh food items so the production was disappointing, not what we should expect from a luxury lodge. Exception: breakfast was always good.
