Amazing experiences seeing the wildlife in their natural environments
Safari certainly lived up to expectations We were given many opportunities to see the wildlife. The accommodation
we stayed at was wonderful being not only clean and tidy but with very welcoming hosts. The meals out allowed us to experience not only some of Africa's food but also provided us with some cultural experiences. The main guide was very accommodating and certainly had a passion and wealth of knowledge of the wildlife. Any issues were quickly resolved The local guides we experienced were also very helpful and knowledgeable. The support team were not only very efficient but helpful and friendly

Uganda - Gorillas & Chimps
The website stated - "Offers animal encounters never to be forgotten, spectacular scenery, exceptional photographic opportunities, and is known to have some of the friendliest people in Africa". And this pretty much perfectly sums the trip up. A small group of like minded people made this a truly memorable trip. There was good mix of pretty basis camping, and then Lodge/Bungalows for those days when we had trekked - which came as a very welcome reward. The highlight had to be the hour with the Gorillas, this can be a hard trek but sooooo worth it. Once again Ant was our guide and his knowledge, passion and enthusiasm made this one of the most awesome trips I have done. Thinking about booking a Masihambe trip? - stop thinking and start booking you won't regret it.

Fabulous experience
We had a wonderful time on our 25 day Wild Life and Game Parks safari. You may think that it would become a bit much doing day after day of safari but no, there has been a lot of thought put into the itinery resulting in each day being a new experience. Ant, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and capable and fun to be with. Most of all we enjoyed the days where we stayed in the parks and had a braai (bbq) in the evening, everyone joining in together then chilling together in the evenings. We had the best weather, sad for the countries that were suffering a drought... We saw every animal possible except a Cheetah, saw prides of lions setting up their dinner choices and got up close and personal with elephants, lions and rhino's. The company on our trip was the best also and we had lots of laughs and fun. The only worry was remembering to carry enough money to cover tips which is not part of our culture.
Thank you Jude for organising such an amazing adventure. If you are thinking about going - STOP thinking and DO IT.

A safari that focussed on game and birds for 25 days and delivered once in a life time memories.
A 25 day wild life safari which allowed us to experience the major game reserves of 3 different countries - South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe.
An experienced guide in Antony, allowed us to see extensive bird and animal life. His local knowledge and his 22 years of guiding experience ensured thet we missed out on very little. The Big 5 were ticked off early on and other species including over 200 different birds and over 50 mammals followed as time progressed. Some game was seen for the first time on the last day. So there was always something to see and chat about around the camp fire in the evenings.
The landscapes and environments was also continually changing throughout the trip. This tour meet all promised criteria in accommodation, food, side trips and travel locations.
A fantastic safari which we will recommend to our friends with similar interests.

Incredible, awesome, spectacular and magic
The experience of going on safari was incredible. To see the wild life in their own environment was magic.
The countryside was fantastic the vastness is not seen in photos but in real life just amazing.
The Masihambe Afrika company is a very professional business and was wonderful with all the communication and contact before and after the trip. The guide, Anthony Washford with his wealth of knowledge and genuine compassion for both the wild life and the country was outstanding. All in all the absolute best company to deal with. Recommend them to anyone wishing to see what they have on offer.

Africa - the animals, the people, the scenery, Wow! Truely the trip of a lifetime
Our Safari with Masihambeafrika was everything we dreamed it would be. From the outset it was extremely well organised and ably led by our guide Ant who is a passionate animal lover and who made the whole tour fun with his great enthusiasm for all things African. All our accommodation was very comfortable and we were very well fed on the whole trip. Of course, the definite highlight was the spectacular animals we saw in abundance, so close too at times, that made it the best holiday we have ever had. Thank you Ant and everyone involved.

Trip of a life time, prepared and guided by experts with a strong passion for Africa and Madagascar.
We went on both on the Madagascar Trek and the Wildlife and Game Parks Safari.
Both in there own right were superbly managed by master guide Ant and organiser Jude.
Will never forget these experiences and at the end wanted to turn around and repeat the trip, we enjoyed it so much, way above our expectations. The wild life, the rain forests and treks in Madagascar - highly recommend.
South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana safari would be the most memorable countries we have been to.
Thanks Jude for organizing this amazing trip for us, I think it would be hard to find anything better, definitely want a repeat!

Highlights every day, and hope to go back soon
We found our tour guides, and accommodation better than expected. Food was above excellent.
Almost all the guides were very friendly, and knowledgeable. We found the African people really friendly too.
