Slow and rude to respond, then failed to organise the few things left to him
Indigo safaris were sometimes slow to respond. The scanned documentation provided failed to give enough information, which also led to some confusion, for example exactly which side of Victoria Falls we were visiting. There was also a breakdown of communication between Indigo Safaris and the 3rd party safari provider in Kasane which resulted in us waiting from 6 am until 7:30 am to go on safari.
We had asked for a game drive as early as possible, as this is the ideal time to see birds. Along with an evening boat trip - also ideal as you get to see an amazing sunset. What was arranged was a mid morning boat trip, followed by a game drive starting at 1:30pm, i.e. the heat of the day. When I pushed back about this, I was told via email:
"All that has happened is that they have been switched round as Kalahari Tours have put their scheduled game drives on in the afternoon and boat cruises in the morning as they that gives better results."
When I said this was not what we wanted, or paid for, and gave good reasons, I was then told:
"I can ask to move the boat safari earlier, but doubt it will be much earlier.
The afternoon game drive in Chobe is a group activity, as you know, and the focus is going to be on animals and they love to go to the river to drink when it’s hot."
I then pushed harder, with an emphasis on how I felt we would see more first thing. The trip was then changed to what we wanted. Albeit on the day the change had not made it to the schedule, hence standing around for an hour and a half. Plus Christopher continued to argue the case for midday safaris. Perhaps he should put that as a unique feature of his safaris!

An amazing experience
The experience of the safari with predator safari was very splendid, they have provided us with excellent hospitality and services, furthermore their drivers are very welcoming and experienced with wildlife, moreover the drivers are well trained professionals whom know their away around terrains, and they have an excellent choice of hotels which have beautiful views. The hotels I stayed in were kirawira Serena, mbuzi mawe Serena , manyara Serena. The experience was spectacular and would recommend anyone to try their excellent services. It was an amazing Experiance.

amazing trip through Murchinson Falls NP
We saw lots of animals on our safari tour like elephants, giraffes, monkeys and even lions (and many more). I've never been so close to some of these animals before, not even in a zoo. It was just amazing! We had lots of fun with ore lovely guide who showed us Uganda's fantastic wildlife and nature.
I'd love to repeat this trip!

We did the 3 day kruger camping safari and it was good!
Everything was up to expectations and we even saw the Big 5 (bar the white rhino). The tents we stayed in was great, with fan, power source and lights. Showering facilities were a couple minutes of walk away from our tents. We felt safe and secure. Food served was good as well and met plenty of awesome people from around the world as we chatted during dinner. Service from everyone was good as well. However, we were told that in the itinerary we will have a campfire where safaris stories would be shared but that did not happen. All in all, a great value for money!

Perfect Adventure
I went on Safari two times with Mega Adventures. The first time was in January and we went to Tagangire NP, Serengeti NP and the Ngorongoro-Crater in a 4-Day-Safari. Dodo found 3 other People to share the car to make the price per person better.
Our Guide, Sayid, was great and also our Chef Masawe. I have to say, that the Food was better than expected; fresh fruits, Pizza, Fish...
We saw all the big 5, uncountable other animals and the beautiful landscape. The Campsites were really clean, expect the one in the Serengeti, but thats not the fault of Mega Adventures, and the tents were really good. From the campsite at Ngorongoro Crater we had an awesome view into the Crater.
The Second Time i went to Tarangire and Lake Manyara. Everything was perfect again an we had 2 Perfect days.
So you see, i went on Safari with Mega Adventures two times...i think, this is review enough. Best Price, nice Guide, Chef and a very good Communication with Dodo :)

Uganda - The Pearl of Africa, a two weeks travel
In February 2015 we organized a two weeks travel through Uganda. Our daughter who was staying at that time in Uganda organized the tour with Wild Jungle Trail Safaris. We did a kind of classic route which took us to the Murchinson Falls, Fort Portal, Queen Elisabeth Nationalpark, Bwindi and Lake Bunyoni. Amongst others one of the highlights was for sure the Gorilla and Chimp tracking.
The whole tour was perfectly organized, the accommodations which Wild Jungle Trails recommended and booked for us were amazing. Whenever, we came up with a wish, our guide and driver Twaha organized everything to make it happen. We had a great time together and the two weeks turned out to be one of most memorable vacations.
If I ever go again to Uganda or Rwanda I will for sure organize my trip again with Wild Jungle Trails.
You can see some of the picture which I made on that trip on my website (http://www.image-me.de/wps/?cat=65)

Great lodging, good food, long van ride to actual lodge
Safari Bookings was very accommodating and worked around our schedule to provide the best safari experience in our time constraints. We had some issues with communication as we were unaware of the time it was recommended to land in Johannesbrg and we ended up having to cut the safari a day short because of it. There was a 6-7 hour drive from Jburg to the Reserve which we were also unaware of until we got in the van to make the trip at 7am. We would definitely do this again but I recommend flying into an airport closer to Kruger if you want to avoid two whole days of driving in the car to and from the reserve. The safari and Game Drives were amazing! We didn't see the leopard but the open air vehicles and guides were fantastic! The food at Thorn was delicious.

Conned me of my clients money.
In the beginning communication between our company was great.we started incurring problems after we had just paid a deposit of 4000 usd to them ..and they claimed not not have any idea to do with the money.putting in mind we have evidence of the swift transfers this company has refused completely to refund our money. Beware of them they are conmen,we are tossed from one member of the company to another,no one wants to take liability of our 4000 usd.
