Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Russell Corbett
I did not have a lot of luck. It was very dry on my visit except right at the lake. I got good shots there, but ate dust most of the day.
Planes, Trains & Automobile Chicks Tour of South Africa
Kobus and I met on a Safari many years ago and he just made me laugh. A couple of years later I asked him to help me organise a 2-week tour of South Africa. Wow, what a blast we managed a lot from driving through Swaziland to the grand finale a trip on the Blue Train from Cape Town to Pretoria. Kobus and team were fantastic they organised everything including car and train hire, all accommodations, etc. The best part was all the trips that he had organised for along the way. Kobus has a great love and understanding of his country and the surrounding countries and with his wicked sense of humour, I was in tears of laughter every time we had a catch-up meeting. I look forward to my next trip with Kobus and Jewel of Africa Safaris because they are the jewel of Africa.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Russell Corbett
It was great to see elephants and hippos in the water. There were a lot of water birds.

Better than we could have ever imagined!
We were in Tanzania for a work trip and thought it would be a great idea to fit in a weekend Safari if possible seeing as this is not an opportunity you get very often. We contacted Peter a few days before arriving in Tanzania and told him our plans; the place, day and time we´d be available from and then the day and time we´d have to leave to fly back home to Europe. Basically we had two free days and asked him if it would be possible to arrange anything, we really didn´t mind what as this would be our first Safari experience for most of us (3 out of 4 people). He got back to us quickly and proposed a very interesting trip plan. We contacted Peter again once we were in Tanzania just one day before the proposed Safari start date (we left it a bit last minute as we didn´t know if it was going to be possible considering our work agenda) to confirm that we´d like to go ahead with their Safari. Peter was very attentive and sorted everything out. We visited Tarangire Park and the Ngorongoro Crater...simply amazing. Our guide/driver was Godfrey, he did an incredible job spotting all the animals for us and pretty much from the first minute we met him he was one of us and we all got on great. In the crater we even managed to see a couple of black rhinos cross in front of us about 15 metres away...very very lucky. We stayed in two different lodges; both of them were nicely located, clean, provided great service and great food. To conclude, the country itself is a spectacular place, specially these areas around the Arusha area, but being able to share this "mini adventure" with a team of competent and friendly professionals such as Bestday Safaris was just the icing on the cake. Thank you.

Knowledgeable, Reliable & Hard Working
We did a ten days tanzania safari covering lake manyara, ngorogoro and serengeti. This is my second trip to safari in TZ and I was clear of the expectations. David and team ensured they understood the expectations and tried their best to make it happen. Extremely hard working and reliable. It's important to realize the overall safari experience would be better when it is a experienced as a team and not as pure business. David and team perfectly jelled with our group to make the experience great.

Perfect honeymoon
When searching for the perfect honeymoon you can easily get confused by all the "fantastic" options provided by several agencies. As soon as it has anything to do with a honeymoon, the price doubles. We felt this was confusing. We didn't know what we would get, just that the budget would be gone pretty fast. Luckily we happen to hear about Tanzania Explorer from a friend who knew someone very satisfied with a trip organized by Tanzania Explorer.
We got in touch with Sondre, who provided different solutions that fitted our preferences, schedule, budget and our expectations. Together we tuned our travel plans, to have an optimal mix of experiences and honeymoon relax days at Zanzibar. During this process we got several good advices we never would have thought of on our own.
In Tanzania we experienced to be taken very well care from the second we landed in Dar Es Salam and to the very end. Everything were very well organized, and there were not much left for us to do than show up on given times at given places. The counterparts were always on time, and there was never unexpected delays nor unfortunate changes in plan. Good food were served or prepared every day. Sometimes eaten on the top of beautiful waterfalls or at the lodge with an exotic view over the river.
Our guide! our guide Julius is propably the best guide in Tanzania, or may be the entire Africa. He had a very good developed nose for knowing exactly where to search for the coolest animals. This resulted in several close ups of lions who were enjoying a zebra-meal or just relaxing under a tree. Unforgettable!
Zanzibar was just the perfect destination for a honeymoon! Totally relaxing, a nice view over the sea and nice people! If we wanted to go outside the resort to eat or explore Stonetown, the personnel arranged safe transportation for us.
Thanks for the most memorable honeymoon we could ever dream about!
