Nick was super knowledgeable, great with our kids, and an amazing host.
This was our second safari with Wildlife Safaris and this time we brought our children (4 kids aged 7-12 yrs). We loved the 4 day itinerary last time and did the same reservation as before. It was a completely different experience, October vs April! The accommodations were wonderful, the food was both new/exotic but familiar enough that the kids loved it, too.
Don’t miss the night safari from Skukuza, and the ’Nasa Road’ was a real surprise wildlife spot!

The best of all Worlds
Visiting SA for the first time, we didn't have any expectations, but what an amazing experience we were in for. Every day was a new adventure for us, and had us in awe each time.
Cape Town, was a dream, picturesque in every corner. Cuddled by the mountains on one side and an untouched Atlantic ocean on the other.
It was such an amazing chilled vibe, allowing you take life a little slow and soak it all in.
A little drive to Kalk Bay (colorful sea side town filled with cute little shops and boutique restaurants) to see some African Penguins in their natural habitat, via the beautiful Chapmans Peak, with a view of the South Atlantic ocean.
Be prepared for all weather conditions.
Rigter after we flew over to Johannesburg and opted for the 5 day Kruger Park Safari, and we were defnitley not disappointed.
Kruger National Park showed off in the best way posisble, giving us a view of the BIG 5 everyday but all in different settings.
We were blessed with our guide, Hoppy. His knowledge of the park was incredible, spotting the big 5 and alot of other animals, that the naked eye would have missed. Kruger National Park has some beautiful birds (normally overlooked by people only looking for the big 5), but he would point out their beautiful colors and sounds, and we would just get immersed.
He made sure that we had all our meals and stayed in some amazing properties, the first with a view of the hippos just chilling as they normally would, literally 15m away, and where elephants would come to graze as well.
We did a sunset tour while we stayed within the reserve at Satara, where we were literally a foot away from a Lion, just taking a nap, which would later come to have a sip of water just by the reserve.
On the way back, Hoppy took us along the Panorama Route, which is a whole other world of beautiful mountain ranges and lakes and colorful townships.
Thanks to Hoppy, we saw and learned so much more, and he gave us the time to just sometimes sit and enjoy it for awhile.

A very picturesque country
I climbed Kilimanjaro guided by a wonderful tour guide Angelo. This was a unique experience as I managed to climb the summit and meet the sunrise over Africa.
I want to thank the whole team who accompanied me on the way up. All my stuff was properly carried, and Vitor-the-cook prepared lovely dishes up in the mountains.

It was a dream!
It was the most stunning beautiful trip and our first Safari but not the last for sure. We dreamt the eyes wide open.
Thank you a million for all your assistance and advises.
Looking for the next safari in Botswana maybe this time.

A lover of French! Great guide, knows a lot, and makes sure you don't miss anything !
We had a great experience during the Safari, we got to see lions from so close we could've touched them, even heard them roar during our night in the Serengeti. We stopped in the middle of a couple hundreds of zebras and wildebeests, and we also got to see all the Big Fives. Ngorongoro is definitely something that cannot be missed. An unforgettable experience!
If you are ever looking for a French speaking guide, Ombeni is highly recommended! He makes sure you get what you pay for, he is very friendly and does everything in his power to ensure you have an amazing Safari. At one point we were surrounded by several hundred zebras, plus we were so close to the lions that we could have touched them. Ngorongoro is not to be missed!

Knowledgeable and well informed
It was an amazing experience. We had Johnny as our driver and guide and he was great. The pick up was on time from the hotel. And we were in good hands driving through challenging roads due to the flooding but also knowledgeable driver about where to go and how to maximize our experience of seeing the safari animals in the wild. I think the communication could be a bit better when it comes to what to think about before visiting the safari like what to pack, how much luggage you can have with you, what is the weather forecast is like and if there are any reasons to adjust the travel booking.

EXCELLENT
i worked with leisure tips to book my vacation at Diani, i had no clue of the hotel i wanted to go to and so Justine was sooo kind and patient with me to share different options highlighting the pros and cons of each. we finally settled for Baobab and it was amazing, from the planning to the booking, to the constant check in with us to ensure we were okay.. and not to forget Nancy our transfer driver, an amazing soul and she was soo insightful, shared alot of stories about the area and the people in the areas, their way of life etc etc, she is warm and very approachable.
Justine and Nancy also organised for us the trip to wasini and wow wow wow, it was magical.... i cant finish without acknowledging our boat crew to wasini Omari and his crew, they made our trip unforgettable by ensuring we got amazing under water photos
From Onfon media, we highly recommend using leisuretips as your tour company of choice
