Once-in-a-lifetime trip.
African Safari for your Safari adventure. About the only thing I might reconsider is whether to go to all four national parks. They all had something different to offer but we saw almost all of the larger wild game (lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, cape buffalo, giraffes, wildebeast, zebras, etc.) in Serengeti--obviously Serengeti is a must see. The one major animal we did not see in Serengeti, the Rhino, we spotted in Ngorongoro--a thrilling volcanic crater created millions of years ago. I might conclude that Tanzania seemed to be a safe country. Despite being populated by Muslims, Christians, Catholics, etc., and having numerous tribes, there did not seem to be the religious and tribal strife you see in some other African countries.

Our family safari trip was exceptionally well organized and the driver was very knowledgable.
The service both before and during the trip was excellent.

What an experience!
Working with Megan from Discover Africa to setup our safari was a breeze. She manage to get us to all of the locations we wanted to get to and the camps we wanted to visit. She was incredibly responsive and helped us with any questions or problems we had. (Don't forget to find somewhere to store your hard sided suitcases when you switch to duffel bags!).
All of the Sanctuary Lodges blew our expectations out of the water. Our tracker Sky at Chief's Camp was amazing and we spent four hours one day tracking down a rhino until we finally managed to see it making our trip complete! The staff at all of the Sanctuary camps were incredibly and being able to go in either private or small groups (4 total people) game tracking made the experience infinitely better.
My only advice to fellow travelers would be to try to take a day trip to see Victoria Falls from the Chobe area instead of going to a camp in Zambia. We found the Botswana national parks to be an overall much better experience than those of Zambia.

East African Safari
Elisante is friendly and professional. I highly recommend using African Savannah Trekkers if you are planning a trip to East Africa. Tanzania has so much to offer, it's the best of both worlds with the adventure of a land safari and then relaxing with a cocktail near the crystal blue waters of Zanzibar. You will have memories that will last forever.

Magical Experience with Gorilla Tours
While every tour will take you to the jungle to see gorillas, I believe Gorilla Tours did exceptional in the following areas:
1.) Driver was really nice and friendly! This is so important as you will spend hours in the vehicle and its nice to be feel comfortable with the driver from the first second. He made us feel safe on the entire drive and was easy to make candid conversation with.
2) Lodging was incredible. We really enjoyed the dinning room which felt like a family house. You sit at table in a large living room and are served delicious food. The ambiance was just perfect and simple.

Everything was great!!!
Everything regarding the safari tour was great. Would not hesitate at all to use Wildebeest Safaris for any future safari tour needs, and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a safari tour.

Great trip with Gorilla Tours
My son and I had a great trip with Gorilla tours. In 10 days we saw all the highlights of Uganda including the gorilla's. We did the trip with just the two of us, and all worked out great.

Fantastic
We were recommended Waymark Safaris by Sarova Mara Game Camp (which was fantastic by the way). Geoffrey picked us up from Nairobi airport and drove the bumpy 5 hours to Maasai Mara and was our guide for the next 4 days. We saw 20+ lions including cubs and even saw lions mating. We also saw giraffes, zebra, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, hippo and many more. Geoffrey was absolutely fantastic and we thoroughly recommend him.
