Well organized trip
I would like to thank my kenyan friend to introduce me with this company.
I found victor as very professional person in karibu safaris.
Our driver also made good efforts to search animals on our game drive.
The trip to masai mara was perfectly organized.
Their rates are also competitive. So if you are looking for a reliable local tour company,they are the solution of your trip.

Friendly, organized, knowledgable tour guide -perfect safari experience!
We did a 9-day private Safari with Charles including Arusha NP, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro (including a day of hiking at Olmoti and Embakaai), Serengeti (including Balloon Safari), and Lake Natron in June 2015.
Charles is a superb guide: Well organized, always on time, responding to interests and requests of the travellers, keeping his vehicle in a good shape, responsible driver, fun to talk to and knowledgable.
When it comes to hunting down the rare cheetah in Serengeti he shows a hunting spirit as if it was also his first cheetah!
Thanks, Charles, for those memorable days on the Northern Circuit!

More elephants than you can shake a stick at!
This is a very popular park and it shows with the amount of people you will see there. There isn't a place where you will think you are in the middle of nowhere, the roads are mainly paved and you are never very far from another car.
There is a notice board near the main shop that lists the animal sightings for the day so it allows you to plan out your trip, Addo is enormous so make sure you take a whole day to view of all (if not more).
We drove for a while only seeing a couple of animals, then a single male elephant stode into view. We followed him until he turned a corner and we saw a whole herd of the magnificent beasts. This memory will stay with me forever. We found several other herds throughout the day each as amazing as the other.
This is an amazing park and there are plenty of other animals to see (lions, zebras, antelope to name but a few). If you like elephants then you will love this park.
Murchison Falls National Park has a variety of wildlife, has varied scenery, excellent accommodation
The park has a variety of wildlife. The scenery was varied and of course features the falls. Accommodations were high quality. Good food. Excellent guides and rangers. Very safe environment for tourists. A mecca for photographers.
Watching Elephants roam across the plain with Kilimanjaro as a backdrop
We stayed at Sentrim Lodge just outside the gate to Amboseli. We done an evening tour on our first evening and a full day in the park the following day. The park may not be the biggest but it certainly has a lot going for it. We saw Herds of Elephant roaming, Hyenas in a den, Lion, Baboons with young, Ostrich, Hippos, Giraffe, Wilderbeast and many other animals roaming free. A must is a picnic on Observation hill where you can watch over a lot of the park. All of this with of Course Kilimanjaro as a backdrop that unveils itself for the evening sunset.

A once in a lifetime experience
Our trip to Kenya and vistit to Tsavo West National Park was our first (and so far only) safari. It was one of our most enjoyable and memorable vacations so far. Although we did not spot any cats, we basically saw every other animal: giraffes, elephants, zebras, hippos, owls, etc.
We slept in a (fully equipped) tent , which made the experience complete. In the night you could literally hear the animals passing by. Amazing.
After a couple of days we stayed in a resort at the beach. That was nice as well, but we all hoped the safari would have last a little longer. The days just seemed to flew by!

Review about Uganda by Peter Schnurman
The wildlife has rebounded after being severely depleted, The scenery is natural and very varied. Compared to other safari destinations in East Africa, it is relatively uncrowded.

Review about Kenya by Martijn
I don't have anything to compare to, but I would definitely want to go back to Kenya sometime to go on another safari!

Perfect honeymoon adventure
I can’t say enough good things about Endless Summer and our guide Anthony. My husband and I went to South Africa for our honeymoon, and when we picked a tour company to guide our Kruger safari, we pretty much expected to be thrown in with a larger group and have a fairly impersonal but still interesting trip. What we got with Endless Summer couldn’t have been further from that. After flying from in from the US we were greeted by a welcoming face at the airport, Anthony, who would would be our guide for the rest of the Safari. After he helped us get things squared away in the car, he drove the two of us the 5 hours from Johannesburg to Kruger while explaining a lot of things to us about South Africa that neither of us knew - everything from race relations to politics to "what kind of tree is that" to the farming and mining industry practices. But getting to the park was just the beginning. As soon as we entered the park it was pure magic: we saw hippos, elephants, rhino, giraffes, wild dogs, hyenas, lions, leopards, ostriches, warthogs, cheetahs, crocodiles, zebra, buffalo, wildebeest, baboons, even a black mamba -- just to name a few. In total Anthony spotted and pointed out over 60 birds and beasts that we had never seen in the wild before, and many that we had never seen before, period. Some of what you see when you're on safari is just pure luck - and we were lucky - but we would not have seen 1/10th as much without the benefit of such an incredibly experienced guide. Anthony could see things with his blind eye while driving that we didn't notice until we stopped and stared at where he pointed with binoculars (which we forgot to bring and he let us use his, because he's great), and he had his ear to the proverbial ground the entire time looking for recent sightings to give us the best possible chance to see some of the more impressive animals. We knew we were in for good hands with the animal sightings, but then the home-cooked meals Anthony made for us every morning and evening made it all the better. For four incomparable days we spent hours out in the bush watching amazing things and eating like royalty. Anthony was very easy to be around and a lot of fun; even though we just met him at the airport, in a lot of ways we felt like we were on the most epic camping trip of all time with a "old friend." It was an absolutely amazing experience and we didn’t have to do much beyond show up at the airport -- it truly could not have been easier. My husband and I cannot recommend enough working with Endless Summer for an tour activity while you are visiting in South Africa. Their expertise, personal approach, and experience make for a wonderful time.
