Great Place for Wildlife Viewing
Interesting combination of bush and water allows the viewing of a large variety of wildlife. Some of the tracks are "iffy" requiring a certain 4x4 driving skill. One very negative experience was the sightin of a leopard, when our guide reported it to his colleagues from our lodge on a supposedly "private frequency" a total of 14 vehicles, 12 of them either from other lodges or self-drive descended on the place jostling for the best view.

Speechless!
This was my first time in Uganda, and I arrived at Queen Elizabeth within days of entering the country. I felt like my brain stopped forming coherent thoughts except thinking "sensory overload" over and over. As my first ever safari experience, I found Queen Elizabeth expansive, especially from the view at Kingfisher Lodge where I stayed. My guide, Herbert, was booked through Moses Tours, and he was so hospitable about showing me all that we could see within a day (that's all the time I had). But, by the end of my one-day safari, I had over 2000 photos of all kinds of wildlife (incl. almost 70 bird species). The only times when I saw a lot of other tourists was when Herbert took me to view a young lion pride and when I boarded a ferry to tour the Kazinga Channel. I had a great time, and my boss told me that any future safaris are going disappoint me after this incredible first experience.

Must visit at least once in a lifetime!
The Serengeti eco system which spans Tanzania and Kenya, is one of the two large national parks in East Africa (Tsavo being the other). All the major game animals are in abundance - elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, buffalos, rhinos, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, wildebeests, and a wide variety of other antelopes, as well as many different kinds of birds and lizards. Rhinos are probably the hardest to find, as their numbers have dwindled alarmingly.
Review about Zambia by tulsigaddam
I have lived in Zambia for over four years now, and everything from the wildlife, to the local people is an amazing experience. Zambia is a beautiful country, rich in wildlife. It is much more 'real' compared to other places in Africa as not as many people visit.

Review about Uganda by Emilie
I only went to Queen Elizabeth NP for a true safari, but only a couple hours away I went on a chimpanzee trek in Kalinzu Forest. And even driving on the outskirts of Lake Mburo, without actually entering the park, we saw quite a lot of wildlife. Although I was only there for a week, Uganda is rich with wildlife, and I met many Ugandans who were so hospitable.

Review about Tanzania by Roy Prasad
Tanzania and Kenya are two sides of the same coin, very similar, yet somewhat different. Both should be visited.

Chacha's team was very energetic and committed.
My wife and I had a safari(5 days) and climbed the Kilimanjaro( 3 days short trekking). We made a reservation through the internet. They reponded to my every email kindly .We were concerned if Chacha would show up. Because we read a few of bad rumors about small companies. They greeted us at the airport in time. Our trips went as well as expected.

The greatest trip!
A friend and I visited South Africa in September and to say that we had an incredible time would be an understatement--thanks to Chris at The Safari Partners! We stayed at the Peermont Mondior Hotel at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg and took a half day tour of the city. Next we flew to Hoedspruit and took the beautiful Panorama route to Garonga Safari Camp for four nights where we saw the Big 5 within two days and had excellent game viewing! After, we stayed at the stunning Blackheath Lodge in Cape Town for five nights where we had the absolutely gorgeous loft suite and took numerous day trips. On our last night we stayed at the Coopmanhuijs Hotel in Stellenbosch and visited several wineries.
Chris' responses were quick, he had a vast knowledge of the location and provided recommendations/guidance to meet our parameters. Chris ensured everything was taken care of from booking all accommodations, shuttles, day trips, and international/domestic flights. I highly recommend using The Safari Partners if you're looking for a seamless vacation!

Retirement Holiday
A holiday full of experiences - some good, some bad - but all memorable. The bad ones will become great 'dining out' stories.We were very happy with our trip.
I went there with my beautiful wife and had a good time indeed !

very good company
"Wildebeest Safaris" is a very good company. I went on a 8-day safari with them in Kenya and Tanzania and their quality is superior, with reasonable prices. The driver/guides (1 in Kenya, 1 in Tanzania) were very professional and found many animals, including a great number of big cats. Also, the quality of the tented camps they booked was very, very high.
