Trip to Zanzibar
Extremely impressed with Hello Tanzania . Every part of our trip from Dar to Nungwi was comfortable and stress free . Drivers and guides very good, on time, reliable and informative .both the Mnarani Resort and hotel in Stonetown were both lovely. Service good. The company was very helpful with last minute changes that needed to be made because of illness. Would recommend this company to anyone travelling in . Going on safari shortly with the same company so looking forward to it and hoping for the same excellent service.

10 Night Kruger Safari - North to South
We are a couple & went on the 10 night Kruger Safari with Ryan in May, which was the first part of our honeymoon. Starting from the North - Punda Maria and finishing up in the South - Berg an Dal. Firstly Ryan's passion and knowledge of the park and animals are amazing. There wasn't a question he couldn't answer and needless to say we learned a great deal about all the animals, the park and South Africa. We saw lots of animals including the big 5 and it was really nice to travel from North to South - a great journey that felt like an odyssey.
We booked with Wild Planet late last year, and most of the communication was with Thale - the other half of Wild Planet. She was friendly and very helpful with all questions we had and we had built a great rapport with her. Unfortunately though she wasn't able to be on the tour as they are expecting in August, which left a tour that would normally be run by the both of them to just Ryan. Don't get us wrong, it was a great tour overall and we had a good time but it seemed a lot for one person to run on their own. From managing game drives, daily camp preparation and cooking every meal, Ryan seemed a bit overworked on one or two occasions. We would recommend Wild Planet to anyone, but feel it's a two person operation. Had Thale or a second helper been there as well the trip would have met the expectations we had when we booked it.
A trip I will never forget
Tsavo East is as epic.
Wild animals living free in copious amounts of land.
We even managed to find a lion pride eating a kill and a lion stalking a gazelle through the bush.
The whole experience was a great adventure and one I would recommend to anyone seeking a taste of what it's like to see animals in the wild instead of a false zoo experience where the animals are caged

Review about Amboseli National Park by Max&Mary
Elephant Haven and Kilimajaro the best !
This is a wonderful park for elephants and for wetland birdlife. The sunset views of Kilimanjaro and the elephants in the foreground are quintessential Africa

Review about Phinda Game Reserve by hrosenlund
My time here was amazing. I did not stay at any of the lodges, so I cannot speak of the quality of the accomodation, altough I've heard it is excellent. The wildlife here is fantastic, and I saw a lot without looking too hard, both in terms of large mammals and in terms of birds. The scenery is awesome and classic Africa!

Review about uMkhuze Game Reserve by hrosenlund
I've only spent one day at uMkhuze, and didn't see much in terms of the big stuff. It is nice park, however, birding is very good, and the new facilites there, such as the new hides, are excellent!

Review about Kruger National Park by hrosenlund
I didn't spend too long at Kruger, and dind't see a lot either. I am not a big fan of all the traffic, but you will see a lot of animals. Very good place for birding.

Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by hrosenlund
This park has it all! Spend a few night at Mpila Camp and do self drives and you are likely to see a lot. As always you would be lucky to see leopards, but the rest of the big 5 is almsot a given. Cheetahs and wild dogs are alo not uncommon. Birding is excellent as well, with lots of birds of prey.
