An amazing experience
It was my first African experience and, after some safaris, it is still the best.
I think Tanzania, and expecially Serengeti NP, it is the best place for spotting anf photographing wildlife.
So, as I said...one the best places to spot animals.... unforgettable Seronera river area for leopards, Moru Kopjes and Gol Kopije for lions..lots of them with cubs.
For more flexibility I stayed in a camp (tents managed by my local guide team.. with the possibility of using all the facilities of the camp, such as toilettes and showers).
Gol Kopjes also very good to spot the great migration (on march when I went there).
Another marvellous place is the Retima Hippo Pool where, in a small pond closed to a small river, you can spot more than one hundred hippos .

I received excellent service after my first enquiry to the day we left. Thank you Robert Francis.
The 9 Day Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park and Okavango Delta package was above all expectations. The accommodation at Zambezi Sun, Chobe Bush Camp and the Oddballs Camp is highly recommended for food, comfort and friendliness. The game drives at Livingstone and Chobe were amazing and the Mokora and walking safari at Oddballs a great experience with the Hippos in the water not far away. The Leopard was the only one of the big 5 not seen during our Package.

Weekend away Longonot and Hell's Gate
It was my first time in a Safari and even though I have no way to compare it, I think it was really nice. I managed to get a really good price (I think it also depended on the low season) and we visited two beautiful national parks and also managed to have a look at Lake Naivasha. The touristic guide/driver, Fred, has been friendly and polite. We expected him to be more prepared on the places we were visiting, but it was still fine if you can bring with you a guide and just read there the info you want to know. Guest house was fine and meals were included (no drinks/water so buy that before). Overall: a really good safari and great weekend away!

Unforgettable experience
Congratulations has to be given to my guide, Steven from Rhino Safari, he was very knowledgable, helpful, accommodating and took care of us. I wanted to see a Leopard and he delivered! He went above and beyond my expectations.
Samburu was, in my opinion, the ultimate all round intimate safari experience. For example staying near the river, the game drives in Buffalo Springs. I preferred Samburu to the Masai Mara as it was more personal towards the animals.
The food was excellent, I actually returned from Safari heavier! The local people cannot do enough for you.
Overall I would highly recommend going to Kenya and in particular Samburu. Africa is a beautiful country with beautiful wildlife and people. I feel very fortunate to have experienced this in my lifetime.

Very good and fun experience in Tanzania!
We did 5 days private safaris tour as part of our honeymoon trip to go to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Bright African Safaris. Osman, our guide/driver was a very nice guy and made our trip very pleasant. Though it was a rainy season, the weather was nice and we could see many animals on the ground and on trees. First time to see lions on a tree and leopards on a tree! They provided us with professional, good and pleasant services. They were also flexible in scheduling and the like. (My wife's flight delayed and my wife's luggage did not arrive on time. However, they kindly re-arranged our schedule and we enjoyed the tour very much!)
My y wife and I recommend Bright African Safaris.

The best park in Kenya with uncountable wildlife numbers
When I visited this park in August, the migration of the animals was fully ongoing. There were hundreds of thousands of animals out in the huge savanna, they were uncountable.
The Zebras and Wildebeests crossing the Mara River was an amazing thing to watch, something extraordinary that one has to watch in a lifetime. We were also very lucky to see a lion kill wildebeests and also buffalo.
Also, managed to see a pride of 18 lions at one spot in Masai Mara, and even lions mating. This was the most outstanding park that we visited.
The safari company we booked with ensured we had the best game viewing in this sanctuary and recommend African Sermon Safaris operator. Their guides, Ben and James are also top class.

Kilimanjaro Trek
My wife and I booked our Kilimanjaro trek through Frank of Jungle Explorers Tanzania in January 2013. We hiked the Lemosho Route over the course of 8 days and successfully reached the peak of Kilimanjaro before sunrise on the 7th morning. Our porters and crew were excellent as well as professional, our guide was accommodating and when we wanted to do a bit of additional exploration such as hike up Cathedral and Shira Cave, it was no problem.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Frank to anyone interested in a Kilimanjaro adventure. He really made our Kilimanjaro trek one of the best memories of our Africa trip!

Breath-taking, once in a lifetime experience
A very high density of wildlife, very easy to spot in winter as the bush is very dry, of course with the help of the guides/trackers who are always keen to share their experience. Loved the Ecolodge experience, being into the nature and out of the world. It is very convenient to drive to the camps where the food is absolutely delicious.
