Amazing
Kgalagadi was an amazing experience, self drive Safari in beautiful locations. We stayed one night in Twee Rivieren, 1 night in Mata Mata, 1 night in Nosob, and one night at Biterpan Wilderness camp. Mata Mata and Nossob are the best places to stay, especially in the river chalets in mata mata. Bit Nossob was amazing base for wildlife. Saw so many Lions! Would recommend going back and will be again!

The only way to see Tanzania wild life!
This year was my second trip to Tanzania with Brian Mengoriki and Ecological Wilderness Adventures,
the first trip was last year in May.
Both times the experience was outstanding.
For my original trip in 2012 I discovered EWA and Brian on the Internet, as I was looking for a unique safari experience, with the maximum possible photography opportunities.
From my first email communication with Brian, I knew I had made the right decision.
All his planning and suggestions were absolutely first rate.
The 2 trips were in very different times of the year, and very different accommodation options. In 2012 the 3 weeks were built around lodges (all of them chosen by Brian were excellent in every way - food, rooms, atmosphere, etc) and the object was to see a number of different parks, each with it's own special characteristics and photo opportunities. We saw it all - elephants, leopards, lions, cheetahs, all the buck, birds, flamingoes, buffalo. Brian was a tireless and professional guide, who always knew how to be in the right place at the right time.
This year Brian planned a different type of trip - the main object being to photography the immense herds of the wildebeest (gnu) fighting their way across the Mara River. We spent 1 week at a bush camp right on the Mara River, then another week in another bush camp in the middle of the Seronera, concentrating on getting up close to the big cats.
The river crossings are absolutely unbelievable - hundreds, sometimes thousands of gnu making the crossing, the noise, the excitement, the water splashing, the incredible jumps made by full grown gnu from the river bank into the water, and of course, the huge (I mean huge) crocs cruising the banks and the water.
The bush camps are definitely a very different experience from a lodge, and one I heartily recommend.
Nothing can beat a glass of red wine around the campfire, watching the African sunset, and reliving all the excitement of the day's adventure.
Missing the Serengeti and Brian's brand of safari already!

Review about Kenya by michi_z
Kenya is a good place for safaris. It is compromise between a certain level of organiztion (some call it civilization) the bush vibe feeling.
There are places in africa which are more remote more basic but if you in wildlife spotting and photograhy you won't realize it on (good) the pictures taken.

Highly professional, reliable and friendly team
Me and my 2 teenager kids spent 11 days in safari (Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Eyasi, Lake Manyara) and 7 days in Zanzibar with Jackpot Safaris. We got very good service during this long trip. They organized for us local transport (flights, taxis), all perfectly fitting our tight schedule. Our safari guide Mayunga is highly professional, he has a very deep knowledge on nature (has shown us all possible animals and landscapes we could just dream of), good and safe driver and nice personality. Our cook prepared tasty food taking into consideration our preferences.
We had a budget safari, nights spent in tent which is a great experience being in close connection with nature. Campsites were well chosen, all equipped well and clean. Jackpot adviced us to spent 2 nights in luxury lodges which was a good idea as we had fantastic accomodation and food there.
In Zanzibar we spent 2 days in Stone Town, visited the charming town and took a spice tour, both with a professional guide arranged by Jackpot. We spent another 5 days in the sea side in a friendy bungalow hotel just on the best location of the beautiful white sandy beach.
We had an unforgettable tour in Tanzania with Jackpot Safari, with them it was just fantastic, we became a big fan of Africa and African people. I can just recommend you this professional, reliable and friendly team!

Review about Namibia by mimi785nono
Namibia is definitely a place to visit soon, before his beauty attracts more people and become a "tourist destination" like South Africa. Namibia is wild and beautiful. First time I was there (in 2005) it was like we were the first persons to land here, we sometimes drove hours before seeing another car. This is what I loved about this country, the feeling of "discovering" the place.
Review about Namibia by StefanHuber
Went there in 2003 with my buddy from Simonskloof. Super weather condition (not too hot) and due of his expert knowledge from the area (he lived in Namibia for 5 years), we had an amazing time.
Namibia is very interesting from a geological perspective and there is a very good chance to see wild animals almost everywhere. It's worth to go there.
The countryside is so beautiful and amazing.
I strongly can recommend Namibia as a holiday destination.
Looking forward to go back in a few years.

Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by pummel
Simply stunning surroundings and completely unspoilt. The development around the park HQ seems tasteful and the Gorilla trekking experience itself is one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Heaven on Earth!
It’s been 2 weeks since my husband and two sons (ages 24 and 20) and I returned from our 13 day safari and I miss Tanzania and our guide Kelly and everyone at Safari Infinity so much! I keep transporting my way back there -to the feel of it, the views, the animals, the incredible air on our faces, the almost constant joy and laughter in our vehicle as we took in everything that Kelly so generously offered to us and shared with us. I have never felt more alive in all my life!
From the first moment we were in touch with Lucia to begin planning our safari to the last moment when we checked our bags at the Kilimanjaro Airport to go back home to NY, we felt completely surrounded by the most caring, professional, knowledgeable people who are completely passionate about their calling- to share the beauty and wonder of the remarkable people, animals (we saw everything!) and country of Tanzania.
Not only do we feel we have gained another home in Tanzania, we feel we have gained another family in Kelly, Lucia and Simon, Godlisten and Qwarda. We know we will be back and we know we will be welcomed with open arms. Safari Infinity has helped us to remember that Life is Possible and filled with Infinite Possibilities!
