Review about Victoria Falls by Luke Brown
Victoria Falls is Zimbabwe's and Africa's adventure capital and of course a natural world wonder. When you travel to southern Africa you simply have to see Victoria Falls. They are the largest continuously falling curtain of water in the world. To see them is incredible and you cannot help, but stop and stare at them for hours. There is plenty of flora and fauna in the rain forest area. Look out for the Trumpeter Hornbills flying overhead. In the nearby Zambezi National park you can see wild buffalo, elephants, hippos and more.

Review about Matusadona National Park by Luke Brown
Matusadona lies along the shores of Lake Kariba, and as such the expansive inland water body is an added element to the incredible scenic beauty of the area. Lions, Elephant, Buffalo and many more species of animal exist here, but are not as frequently seen as in Hwange and Mana Pools. The area is very well known for its diversity of bird life, with about 400 species recorded here. The lake is home to the tiger fish, which is one of the best fighting fresh water fish in the world.

Review about Matobo National Park by Luke Brown
Matobo Hills is another one of Zimbabwe's Cultural World Heritage Sites. It has significant spirtual significance for locals. It has the most amazing scenery that is second to none when it comes to vast granite rock formations that include large continuos rock domes and blalancing rocks. This area is home to one of the largest, if not the largest concentration of Black Eagles in the world. There are numerous other bird species present to. It is not a major safari area, but having said that it is a great place to track white rhino and there are also many leopards in residence here.

A tailor made safari with experienced guides
Before safari, communications have been great: answers to our questions were provided promptly. Program was very clear. Flexibility for last minute changes was helpful and can be highlighted. Changes to the original program were proposed to better fit to our expectations. During trip, guides were always on time and able to adapt to changing environment. They were offering high class service with smile. The general impression is reliability.

Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by Mads Fredslund Andersen
We went to Pilanesberg National Park (PNP) before going to Idube and this was perfect. In PNP we saw many wild animals but missed out on lions, leopards and buffalos of the big five. We came close to hippos, giraffes, wildebeests a rhino, zebras, and many kudos, spring bucks and other antelopes.
The combination of going to PNP and drive around by our self and then go to Idube where we were shown the nature by experienced guides was perfect.
Excellent service
ATI provided an excellent service, always more than happy to help with any request that we had, and they ensured that we had a wonderful holiday. Communication was excellent, and all accommodation booked was perfect. The only thing that we would have changed is revising some of the driving times on the Botswana safari element as the road quality meant very long days, and arriving late in camp.
An exciting and educational tour with a highly experienced guide.
Wildlife Safaris was very good value with ample opportunities to spot the wildlife while enjoying comfortable accommodation and hearty meals right inside Kruger National Park. Nick our guide was friendly, courteous and very knowledgeable.

I would like to thank you for organising the trip for myself and my wife. Everything went perfect.
We are very happy about the service in the Masai Mara and also about kind help of the driver who was assisting us in Nairobi. I will be very happy to refer to you any of my friends who decide to visit Kenya.

Tsavo West - the mountainous rustic gem of the Kenyan safari parks.
Tsavo West was one of three national parks we visited while in Kenya, along with Amboseli and Tsavo East. Each of these parks has its own special characteristics and charms. Of the three, Tsavo West is certainly the least visited, which helps to give it a more secluded and natural feel. The relative lack of tourists means that even when impressive groups of animals are spotted, only a few safari vehicles will converge, and so are less likely to spook them away. Additional plusses for Tsavo West are that the terrain provides a beautiful backdrop as this park is the most mountainous of the three, and that there was the opportunity to see animals that we were not able to spot elsewhere. For example, Tsavo West was the only park where we observed leopards, hippos (at the Mzima Springs pools within the park), and several kinds of monkeys. Mzima Springs in particular was an exceptional treat since it was one of the few opportunities on safari to leave the jeep while in a park, though in exchange, the guides needed to be armed just in case a hippo or other large animal decided it did not like our presence. Luckily, incidents almost never occur, so the result is just that one can get closer to the natural environment and have a slightly elevated sense of adventure while doing it. Tsavo West also contains a black rhino preserve, though we were unable to see any rhinos while there. Not being able to see a rhino was perhaps the only major downside with our visit, though I am sure other visitors don’t have this kind of bad luck. Others potential criticisms of the park are that because it is so remote, the lodging services are a little rougher and that because of the terrain, there are no locations to get expansive photos of hundreds of animals of different species together as far as the eye can see. We personally found the lodging in the park to be pleasantly rustic, and thought the change of background scenery provided a good compliment to the other parks on the trip. Assuming you can fit it in your itinerary, a visit to Tsavo West is certainly recommended along with the other fine parks in the Kenyan park system.
