Fantastic Safari thanks to Mike and Dennis at Northern Circuit
We were provided with the contact details of Mike at Northern Circuit from a colleague that had recently returned from a Safari with them. We were encouraged by the high recommendation and also really pleased to have it since there are lots of different companies to choose from. Therefore a personal recommendation is a great comfort. From our first enquiry Mike was quick to respond. He helped tailor our budget and time so we got the most out of our trip. We were really pleased with the quick replies to our emails and the speed and knowledge Mike was able to arrange everything. We were met at the airport and taken to our hotel where Mike met us and explained the plan for the next few days. The following morning, right on time we met with Dennis who was our driver guide for the 5 day safari. Dennis was fantastic, hugely knowledgeable about the wildlife, clearly very experienced, knew where to find the animals we wanted to see and great fun to be around. Dennis dropped us off at the end of safari at the airport, where Mike was waiting to wave us off. We could not have asked for anymore from our trip. It met and exceeded our expectations and we would have no hesitation in recommending Mike, Dennis and the Northern Safari team to others. We would also say that compared to other operators (we did make other enquiries) the price we paid was extremely good and highly competitive. A hugely enjoyable and successful trip al round!!!

Incredibly well-organised, can't fault the safari
From the very start communication with Michael was very efficient, he was responding very quickly to our requests and offered us a tour in line with our wishlist for what I felt was a very competitive price. The 5-day safari we did only confirmed our first impression: all transfers/schedules were very well planned, and we just had to go with the flow. Our guide (Hassani) was a gem, he was very knowledgeable about animals, drove us to the less busy parts of the parks where we saw many animals and was great company throughout the tour! Some groups go looking for days for lions, we saw at least 50-60 of them and quickly had to rename the "Big 5" the "Easy 5". There's got to be a bit of luck in this but I'll also credit Hassani for spotting so many animals. Our cook Malleu managed to prepare really tasty meals while in the middle of nowhere, not quite sure how he did it but we all put on weight and never went hungry! Only thing I can say is that I wish we had more local food instead of Western food, but that's a personal view (you can make that request before). The jeep did not look very new but did the job perfectly, tents were also fairly new I think. My impression was that other groups may have paid the same price or more while being many more in the jeep, so we were really lucky to find Michael. It was a magical trip, and went so well that I cannot recommend the tour company enough!
