Experience of a Lifetime!
We were so happy with our stay at Impodimo Game Lodge. The food, accomodations and our guide were remarkable and we would totally recommend this place to friends and family! We miss our scenic views of the elephants at the watering hole from our balcony and fresh coffee :) Our guide Ruin ( I hope I spelled his name right) was a SUPERB driver and very knowledgeable about the wildlife.
A special thanks to Justin Perumal at PaperJet Bookings who recommended this place and answered all of my questions swiftly!
A delightful tour through the Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire national park!
Our tour guide Ombeni, really made an effort to ensure that we had a great trip. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife in the parks. Our first lunchbox from this/that was amazing, honestly some of the best food I've eaten in Tanzania! Our accommodations were also very comfortable at the Giraffe Inn.

Amazing tour, unforgettable experience, great price
I went on a four days / three nights safari with Bobby Tours. Me and my six friends spend two days in the Serengeti, one day in the Ngorongoro Crater and one day in Tarangeri.
To start off: our guide and driver Salim was amazing. He spotted all the animals from far away (leopards, cheetas, lions...and so on) and we were lucky to see a lot of them in action. Besides that he could tell us a lot about every parc and all the animals.
We had a cook with us, who prepared some delicious meals for us. I am a vegetarian and he came up with some very nice dishes.
We chose the budget camping option and spend two nights at the Seronera Campsite. It was an unforgettable experience to hear the hyena's, zebra's and buffalo's around your tent at night. The last nights we spend at Alsamo tented camps and lodges which is a brand new campsite, with a great atmosphere and very nice facilities.
All in all, we had the experience of a lifetime for a really affordable price! I would recommend Bobby Tours to everyone!

4 day tour to Kruger National Park
Outstanding experience and the trip of a lifetime. Our guide was excellent both at finding and spotting game. In addition Neil was a gourmet cook and kept us well fed and warm (blankets on morning game drives). We also got an interesting history lesson on the Anglo-Boer War and the first uso concentration camps. Neil is a true Renaissance man and greatly contributed to our tour.

A incredible value for money for a once in a life-time experience.
The entire Wild Planet Safari experience was faultless! We were incredibly well looked after by the guides, who were both knowledgable, friendly and so hard working. They were happy to fit around whatever we wanted to do while still ensuring that we saw as much wild life as possible. Nothing was too much trouble! Every meal was delicious and all the campsites perfect for what we needed. After the four nights we were dropped off at the door of our next stop. We really enjoyed every minute and would definitely recommend this package to anybody looking for great value for money and a once in a life-time experience. Thank you!

My Iringa Experience
I had the opportunity to experience this amazing safari experience in March 2014. Paul was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable in his field and enthusing passion in wildlife conservation. An accomplished photographer himself, Paul's expert tips on wildlife photography add a special bonus to his tours.

Amazing viewing of iconic wildlife up close; arranged one day tour on short notice
I was in Dar Es Saalam on business, and had one day for a safari. Gecko Adventures was able to accommodate me on short notice with a private one day tour at a reasonable price. I was able to see a large amount of wildlife at Mikumi National Park. My guide was familiar with the park, animal behaviors, and provided many entertaining and educational anecdotes. The ability to get close look at so many large iconic animals was amazing.

Review about Kenya by Francisco
Kenya is a beautiful country with spectacular landscapes and interesting cities. The only downside, I'd say is the security situation, which is not great.

Unforgettable Experience!
Our tour with Afroriginal was amazing! We felt like we were in Jurassic Park, surrounded by giant animals at all times. It is incredible how much life there is around you. We did a 4 day tour and each day brought a unique and amazing experience. Some of the highlights were:
- Lioness and her 5 one-month old cubs dining on a wildebeest 5 meters away!
- A cheetah eating an impala in the darkness (7pm) 3 meters away
- A bull elephant taking a close inspection of our vehicle with its trunk prior to the entire elephant pack following from behind
- Leopard lounging in a tree
- A beautiful male lion posing on a stoney outcropping
- Black rhino chilling in the tall grass
While luck certainly played apart in our sightings, our driver and guide, Jeremiah, really put in the extra effort to find us the best sightings and never cut the trip short. Some examples of Jeremiah going above and beyond:
1: Around 7pm, Jeremiah overheard that some other groups had seen a cheetah in a certain area. Despite the darkness, Jeremiah went in search of the cheetah instead of calling it a day and we were rewarded with a private viewing of a cheetah feasting in our car's headlights
2: Jeremiah had come upon a lioness and cubs leaving a wildebeest carcass and correctly assumed that they will drink water and return to their meal. We followed the lion family to the water and back when every other driver had given up on them returning. We again got some 20-minute private viewing of the lioness and her cubs eating and playing
Afroriginal also got the basics right. We really weren't expecting much from the food and were shocked by how delicious it was, not to mention really healthy. The portions were also massive so you don't leave the table hungry. As far as the tent, what can I say, it's a tent. It's clean with no holes and the sleeping bags and foam mattresses did there jobs (though bring some warm clothes for the night on crater - it gets cold even in the sleeping bag!).
Overall, it was an awesome trip. We had an incredible time and highly recommend Afroriginal Tours.
