Excellent service and an experienced driver/guide (Ben) made this the trip of a lifetime.
Image Travel was easy to deal with and plan with online. They promptly responded to all inquiries, and we received everything we were promised. The trip itself exceeded expectations. Ben, our very experienced driver/guide, made the safari itself thoroughly enjoyable and memorable. His knowledge greatly increased our safari experience. He knew where to go and when to make the most of the animal viewing activities. We would definitely travel with this highly reliable company again. Image Travel also arranged for our three day trip to Rwanda to trek for the mountain gorillas. That trip was also well-organized and resulted in the most fantastic, unforgetable gorillas sightings.
Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by Instinia
Around the corner from South Africa's Las Vegas is a tranquil wildlife environment that is still very professionally managed

Thinking of Tanzanian Safari.... go with Safari Infinity
My wife and I were planning an African Safari for quite some time and once our minds were set, we started looking for tour operators. We got in touch with Lucia @ Safari Infiniti through a friend of mine who did his safari with Lucia's company as well. Although my friend rated Safari Infiniti the best, I still contacted 2 other tour companies to ensure we get the best. Soon I realized how easy was it to work with Lucia. Her level of commitment, professionalism, flexibility, attitude towards getting things right, knowledge about Tanzanian Safari was hard to beat. I remember calling her or she calling us multiple times to go through our itineraries, questions, etc. and making multiple changes to them as per our request(s). Since it was our first time, we were pretty apprehensive about the trip as well (things such as food options, hotels, travel, etc. ) but Lucia made it all easy for us. We ended doing a completely private safari with lodging in one of the best camp sites in Serengeti area. It was spectacular. Our tour guide Vince was the best one can get in a foreign land. He is so polite, down to earth, humble, and again knows so about the land and the way animals react. It was 7 days - 6 night safari with Vince and I would say it was the best trip ever. My wife and I make a lot of international trip together but this one tops it all. Vince was like a family member to us and was considerate to all our needs / requests, etc.
Tanzania is a beautiful country with amazing wild life. We did a few national parks such as Ngorongoro, Terengire, Serengeti and were lucky enough to see every possible animal specie along with The Great Migration and the Crossing - thanks to all the planning with Lucia and the actual safari with Vince. A special shout to Lucia's husband Simon as well. It was awesome to meet them in person and share a meal together.
We would highly recommend Tanzania and Safari Infinity.
Jambo,

Review about Golden Gate Highlands National Park by Instinia
Wow, stunning sandstone beauty within walking distance, surrounded by majestic mountains. Lovely climbs, freezing in winter (like in frost and snow)

Excellent game viewing and a professional staff
My best friend and I went on a 5-day safari with widllife safaris and had a great time. We first stayed a night in a private game reserve near Kruger and the rest of the days in Kruger NP. It was a great overall experience with excellent game viewing (we saw 4 out of the Big 5), quality mid-range accommodation and a wonderful and knowledgeable guide; Clive! Not only did he tell us a lot about Kruger and its wildlife, but also about South Africa and its historical and future challenges, which really added to the whole experience.
It was a small group tour and we had a lot of fun with the other guests as well. Too bad they specialize only in a couple of parks, because I would have loved to also use Wildlife Safaris to visit other safari destinations.

Review about Tanzania by Colin Wight
The countryside and wildlife are beautiful, the people are friendly and you will see the best that Africa has to offer. Local flights, e.g. to Zanzibar are worth considering as the roads can be rough and slow.
Makasa was professional, knowledgable, organized, friendly and welcoming.
From our very first contact Makasa were ready to help and advise. They met us at Kilimanjaro Airport on our arrival and were there for us during the entire trip until they dropped us back at the Airport for you return home.
The Safari was fantastic ! They took care of everything - every detail. No request was ignored or refused.
Our Safari driver, David, was amazing. He was a great driver - dispite the roads ! He was knowledgable, competent, patient, and courteous.
The entire staff of Makasa were very professional and responded to all of our questions and needs.
It was an amazing Vacation ! Thank you, Makasa !
Review about South Africa by clint
South Africa seems to have all the African wildlife that most people would like to see on a safari.
Kruger Park
A vast wildlife environment - do not think you can do it in less that 5 days and still enjoy it. We went in early winter, but the north still reached 35 degrees Celsius, where-as the southern end of the park got down to 12 degrees. It was a wet year, so spotting animals were sometimes difficult. Staying in the park (at a private lodge or in a camp - lookup "rondavel") is the best way to see the animals as late or early as possible. And relax, this is not a tour bus environment. You set the pace as you drive yourself around...

Amazing Honeymoon
Makasa was recommended to us by one of my good friends in Tanzania. As it was our honeymoon my wife and I prefered to do a private safari as opposed to travelling with a group. We found Selma to be very knowledgeable and helpfull . We even decided to get Makasa to organise the Kenyan part of our safari as well. We had an amazing 3 weeks visiting wild life parks in Kenya and Tanzania thanks to Makasa.
