great safari
During the tour I had the privilege to have had both Ted and Dave as a guide. They showed us everything from the big five to the ugly five and exceptional trees and birds. The tour was good value for money and we had the feeling that we got to see the whole park in only 3 days.

Excellent. With their staff and equipment we tailor made our own private camping safari in the Mara.
Fantastic. Would use again. Highly recommended.

Everything you want from an African safari
When you think of Tarangire, you think of elephants. Lots and lots of elephants.
On average there are approximately 3000 elephants living in the park, so chances are that you will see a few of them. Certainly in the morning or late in the afternoon, you can easily find them when they migrate between the bush and the river area. With a bit of luck, they end up right next to (or in front of) your jeep.
The park is one of the highlights of the northern safari circuit in Tanzania. It is fairly close to Arusha, approximately a 2 hour drive, but it is recommended to stay at least one night in one of the lodges in the park. All the way through the park, there runs the Tarangire river. This river provides some breathtaking scenery, certainly when you find the right picnic spot or you make a stop at the Tarangire Safari Lodge and enjoy the view from their terrace. With a bit of luck, you will find a big herd of elephants and many other animals on the plains and the riverbed right down the cliff on which the lodge has been built. A visit to the Tarangire Safari Lodge really is a must if you are visiting the park. It is one of the most beautiful views you will see in Eastern Africa. Of course, you could also stay there for the night.
The northern part of the park is the most busy part, and rightfully so. There is so much to see in this area and in general you will not see too many vehicles at the same time, apart from the entrance gate and at really special game sightings.
Besides the elephants, you will find all sort of large animals, like zebra, wildebeest and giraffes and cats like lions and cheetahs. When we visited the park, the cats were fairly active and we witnessed a cheetah hunting impala and two female lions checking a warthog out if he (or she) was any good for lunch.
The large animals are very compelling of course, but don’t forget to look for the small animals and birds as well. One of the smaller animals that quickly became one of our favourites is the dik-dik. We even found a pair right next to our lodge when we checked in. Furthermore, there are birds in all sizes, from ostriches and secretary birds to lovebirds and there are plenty of birds of prey to spot.
All in all, Tarangire is everything you want from an Eastern African safari, all in one park. Breathtaking scenery and an abundance of game to enjoy.

A good guide makes a great trip.
For the trip itself we had excellent info from the tour operator regarding preparation to and for the duration, and we were lucky - being 4 seniors - to be matched with other people with same interest to the trip into Krüger Nat. Park. Service during the tour all depends on the guide - and we got a great guide with knowledge about the animals and birds we saw and humor on top, made a splendid experience.

Not often do businesses deliver on what they advertise ....this company did and some.!
Our friends did the finding and booking then told us how easy their website was to use , and how helpful and patient Chris was with setting up the itinerary for our 4 day Safari to Kruger from JoBurg , the value for money is excellent with fantastic organisation from the get go followed by a fantastic host/guide in Clive with his years of experience , great stories about South Africa and Kruger and his obvious love for his job .......which I guess made me a little envious , this trip had the personal touch which is missing from a lot of ' tourist trips' and we highly recommend them, great company delivering on their promise, thank you Clive and the rest of your team.

Review about Namibia by reggief340
From the Etosha in the north to the dunes in the south and from the Kalahari in the east to the skeleton coast in the west I found this to be an amazing country with great friendly people and so many experiences

An amazing safari experience
When we book a safari with Bubezi Safaris, we thought it will be the same as all the other safaris. What a surprise we got! We were treated like royalty and everything was absolutely perfect. They really went out of their way to make our safari an experience never to be forgotten. We most definitely recommend anybody who wants to book a safari, to book with Bubezi Safaris, because their service is excellent and will definitely treat you to an experience you will never forget.
