AMAZING
We spent 3 nights and 4 days at Camp Hwange and it truly couldn't have gone better. An incredible NP, private concession and the team at Camp Hwange was excellent. Everyone from the GMs to the entire staff were just great. Extremely inviting, hospitable, outgoing and just good all around people. Our guide, Kan (sp?) was nothing short of excellent as well. Very knowledgeable and truly seemed to love what he was doing. The park itself was great. Plenty of wildlife to be seen and different terrain throughout the areas that we explored. 10/10 for the entire experience.

Amboseli is a beautiful park
Amboseli is a beautiful park. Animals are plentiful and there is always opportunity to take photographs of them with a backdrop of the kilimanjaro mountain.

The perfect African safari
We enjoyed a sunset and a sunrise safari in Tarangire National Park and both were excellent. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and entertaining. He tailored his approach with us depending on our interests and told us so many stories about his time as a guide! Our safari jeep was great and seated six comfortably, not that we sat down for much of it.
We spent one night at a campsite in the park, which was basic but comfortable enough, and we heard lions roaring nearby to our tents as we slept. The food was great, it would be impossible to go hungry. We saw only a handful of other tourists whilst we were there.
Highlights were the number of elephants (we saw so many!), the baobab trees, extensive bird life, a trio of cheetahs and driving alongside a charging herd of wildebeest.

Amazing
Tanzania safari is a life experience, that the nature and wildlife lover shouldn't miss. We saw many animals, we enjoy the silence, the beauty and the peaceful of this unique and preciuos place. Unforgettable!

What a wildlife experience!
To be honest, I've never been on a safari before but it was pretty much as I dreamed of it: we've seen everything, starting the day with a leopard, going on with lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes and lots of antilopes, it was very impressive.

Excellent, friendly, professional services and competent staff.
Falcon Safaris, Victoria Falls, Vimbai and Hamilton - thanks for professional, friendly and efficient service. I was impressed with the service, patience and assistance I received from Falcon Safaris, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. I was doing an extremely "last minute" booking enquiry for various activities available in Victoria Falls. I received prompt and efficient assistance. Falcon Safaris organised all my activities as well as any necessary transfers to and from these activities. The Transfer companies were also extremely efficient, with helpful and friendly staff, who were prompt, as well as knowledgeable and informative. We requested dvd's and cd's for the activities that we did as we do not have a decent camera, and the quality of these dvd's is fantastic - I would recommend any person doing Victoria Falls activities utilize these services for wonderful holiday memories.

Travelling in Tanzania is HORRIBLE
This was my second trip to Tanzania. I was there to watch the Great Migration. I was able to witness a small version of the migration in Northern Serengeti and was left with much to be desired. Tanzania charges an exorbitant amount for the visa and the taxes on tourists. However you get little to noting in return for the steep prices and cost of traveling in that county. The roads are a total disaster and guarantees total damage to your overall skeletal system specially your back. Where all the visa and tax money goes is beyond my comprehension. My driver told me that the roads are not paved since my country, the United States, asked the Tanzanian Government to keep things rustic. I have never heard such hogwash ever in my life. What interest would the US have in interfering with how Tanzania maintains or ignores its infra structure? I will never return to that country again. Besides Kilimanjaro and the animals there is nothing worth making the trip to expensive Tanzania.

fun fun fun
We made the easy walk up to the base of the stunning 170 m. high Sanje waterfall. The forest was beautiful, walk not too difficult and swimming under the waterfall a taste of heaven. On the way back in the afternoon we saw masses of the endemic (and very pretty) Udzungwa Red Colobus Monkeys as well as some Black and White Colobus and a possible quick glimpse of the more elusive Sanje Crested Mangaby (also an endemic species). A wonderful walk with a very charming and competent guide provided by the park HQ. Well worth the visit, if your up for a bit of a walk, its great to move after being cooped up in a land cruiser on game drives all the time.

WOW, exceeded our expectations
We have just arrived home after a month in Kenya and South Africa. We are so pleased we added Kenya as it was without doubt the best for wildlife in all the places we visited. We flew to Nairobi, went to Lake Navashia, the Lake Nakaru. (not sure about correct spelling) Masa Mara, Amboseli. It was fabulous and made more special by our guide John, a Masai Mara warrior who just knew how to spot an animal from great distances. Just amazing, we saw double of everything except the Leopard which was just bad luck and timing.
I would urge anyone who is looking for games drives to choose Kenya. A couple of reasons, they don't allow game hunters which was paramount for me. They can go off road unlike all the other places we visited, stuck on a bitumen road hoping to see something! Don't waste your time and money. Research before you go as it's something I didn't realize. Kruger, Chobe, Namibia all only have on road drives so it's difficult to see unless the animals are crossing the road.

Once it's not enough
Ngorongoro is a very stunning place. Serengeti needs more than one day.
Lake Manyara is a good surprise.
And the Tarangire's Baobab worth the trip! Zanzibar can divide you...
