Incredible Journey with Kanyezi
Had been thinking about visiting South Africa for a long time and finally decided to make the trip with Kanyezi. I have to say first that I could not have made a better choice. From the day of arrival in Cape Town to our departure at Johannasburg, Kenyezi delivered on all that they had promised, guiding us on an adventure of a lifetime. Tours of Cape Town were fantastic and included a tour of the City, a visit to a Cheetah rescue facility, a penguin colony, a local market, a visit to a winery and trip to the Cape of Good Hope. The hotel we stayed at was first rate with more than one restaurant choice and beautiful African art in the lobby.
From Cape Town we headed up to the Sabi Sabi National Reserve for our Safari Adventure of a lifetime. We stayed at the Bush Lodge which was the most amazing and beautiful place with large suites, a watering hole, amazing staff and the best food. Try the local delicacies if your are an adventurous diner. If not, there are choices for all palates. We went on Safari twice a day for four hours at a time and as promised, got to see the Big Five on every day of this adventure, plus a couple of rare finds of a Cheetah that had just made a kill as well as a pack of wild dogs. There was also an opportunity to visit a local village to meet the people and included stops a school where all of the children were excited to meet us. Also included an optional chance to see a shaman, which to me was a hoot, and we also met a group of local women who invited us to dance with them as one of them played a drum for us. Was a wonderful day.
After the safari we chose to go to Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls, the Seventh Wonder of the Natural World. We stayed in a very nice motel accomodation right on the Zambezi River and besides visiting the Falls we were treated to a great buffet style dinner where there were local drummers and dancers and we got to play along with drums that they passed out to people at the tables. On the second evening we took a cruise along the Zabezi River where we were treat to snacks and drinks and saw a family of hippos swimming across the river. An amazing site.
Thank you Chris, Chip and Manny for making this trip an adventure of a lifetime. We hope to join you again in the future. GO KANYEZI

A fantastic experience!
Steve is a great guide and his excellent knowledge of the wildlife (and birdlife) across East Africa is a massive help to a photographer such as myself. The service and accommodation throughout the 11 day safari was wonderful, with a particular highlight being the Elephant Bedroom at Samburu. Heartily recommended.

Highly committed staff, excellent customer service
I chose Zambezi out of several tour operators shortlisted because Laura was responsive and followed up with me closely in the 2 weeks leading up to my trip. My planned itinerary ran smoothly and the staff went the extra mile to ensure my land transfers and game drives went ahead, even though there was an ad-hoc change i.e. I requested for an afternoon game drive in Botswana to be changed to early morning. Laura and Oscar effected the change and also arranged the required transport to pick me from Botswana back to Zimbabwe. In addition, at the game drive in Zimbabwe, Norman waited patiently for me as the game drive ended an hour later than usual. The staff at Zambezi worked throughout the Christmas hols and were committed in ensuring I had a great safari experience. Thank you Laura, Norman and Oscar, you guys are awesome!

Fabulous intro to South Africa!
Everything was as expected. Our vacation was amazing from transfers to lodging to activities. We had one small hiccup with a transfer; I contacted Discover Africa via email and Alice was immediately digging into the problem and guaranteeing no more issues. Our 2 safari lodges were incredible. I would definitely use Discover Africa again!

Incredibly reliable, excellent service
We worked with Newton and the team for our wedding in Nanyuki. It involved about 70 - almost all of whom traveled from abroad - people needing transport from Nairobi to Nanyuki, within Nanyuki, and back to Nairobi. They filled numerous car needs for us, from individual transfers and safari needs, to our wedding shuttles and bus for 30 people back to Nairobi to take a flight to the coast. They were responsive throughout and adaptive to changing plans. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Perfect safari from planning through end of trip
This was a major vacation to plan and Tiago from Spirit of Kenya made it easy. He was so patient with our requests and planned the perfect safari trip down to each minute detail. Everything from the time we landed in Nairobi went off without a hitch. We were picked up at the airport and taken to our Nairobi hotel and then picked up the next morning by our Safari Guide George. He was wonderful and taught us so much. A great driver as we experienced unusually heavy nighttime rains which caused muddy and very hard to navigate roads. George always got us through them and kept us safe. He was so intuitive finding the animals and we saw everything. Also very informative and gave and taught us such valuable information!! All of our accomodations were lovely and we enjoyed them all for various reasons. Tiago was good at giving us a variety of places to stay! Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations were great. We had a great birthday party at our first camp to celebrate my friend's birthday that will probably be her most memorable birthday ever. Everything about this trip was perfection!
