Review about Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park by Grey World Nomads
Kgalagadi is a unique destination, a game park in a arid region. The wildlife is spectacular, albight the absence of elephants, crocodiles and hippos. Therefore there are stunning sightings of cats. The road infrastructure is fair and the camps have everything you need - from accommodation to food.

Honestly better than anything I could have expected.
Justin and all the guys at Tanzania Expeditions went above and beyond for both our trek up Kilimanjaro (7-day Lemosho route) and a 2-day camping safari in Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Parks. I went with 3 college friends and we're all active guys in our late 20's and decided against going with one of the more expensive luxury outfitters. What we got was better than anything else we saw on the mountain. The tents were great, the food was plentiful and delicious and, most importantly, the group was so much fun. The guides, Erick and Frank, and all the porters took such great care of us and made sure we had a great time. Their energy was contagious, and it was obvious that we were having more fun than any other groups on the mountain. I would definitely recommend them.
Also, when searching for companies, it was really difficult to find a local outfit in Arusha that seemed legit. Justin's communication was excellent the entire time and I felt really safe going with them as our tour guides on Kilimanjaro as well as our safari outfitters. I wouldn't change a thing, and I hope I can someday go back.

Amazing trip
We are truly devastated that we have had to return to the UK.
Our stay at Greenfire lodge was absolutely fantastic and we can't wait to return. Everything from the collect at Johannesburg Airport to our return was 100%. Lavender at moafrika tours took our booking and from.the beginning I felt confident in the company.

Review about Addo Elephant National Park by Grey World Nomads
The park is not huge and can easily be done with in two days. Plenty of wildlife, especially elephant and also the bird life is great. Addo for me doesn't quite have the real "bush" feeling about it. It isn't the bushveld, but has its own unique feel. If or when it can be linked to the two other sections of the Greater Addo, namely the coastal section and the mountains stretching into the Baviaanskloof, then we are talking of a great park.

Paradise
Love the country and the people of Tanzania. I have visited, Dar es Selam, Karagwe, Arusha, Tanga, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar and every where we went was such a beautiful place and welcoming people. I can’t wait to go back.

Best place on earth
We have spent six weeks in the Kruger National Park and we enjoyed it immensely. There is no shortage of wildlife. You are more than likely to see the big five here than in any other national park. The infrastructure is excellent and all forms of accommodation are available from the luxury safari lodges to the simple hut or camping. All camps have restaurants and have well-stocked shops. Activities like guided bush drives, wilderness trails, bush walks, 4x4-trails and selfdrive make all part of the vast amount of possibilities to spend an unforgettable time in the Kruger National Park.
The northern half of the Kruger is less busy than the southern part. It's recommendable not to visit the park during South African holiday season as the it is also hughely popular with South African Citizens. As far as the climate goes, any time is possible. For game viewing winter is better, as the animals can't hide in the tall grass so well and they are likely to be seen at the waterholes because of the draught. If your stay is longer than a week or you want to visit other National Parks within your holidays, check if it's worth to buy the wildcard, which gives you deals and allows free entry to almost all of the parks in South Africa.
The reason why we return again and again is not just for the wildlife but also for the sheer beauty and size of the Park. Above all it's affordable, even for people on a shoestring budget.

A Lush Oasis with So Much to See
My wife and I did a 5 day Uganda safari. Our guide, Francis, picked us up from our hotel in Entebbe and we drove several hours to start our trip at Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP).
Even though we visited during the rainy season, we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather during our trip. The drive to QENP was interesting because you drive through many small towns where you can see the local vendors selling produce on the side of the road. Our guide was happy to stop whenever we requested, so long as it was safe. The further you go, the landscape begins to change. It was beautiful.
QENP was absolutely stunning. We saw nearly all the animals we wanted to see and Francis went above and beyond to make sure we fully enjoyed our experience. We were even lucky enough to see the chimpanzees when we went chimpanzee tracking on our 2nd day.
On our way to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, we drove to the Ishasha sector, which was unique in its own way and we were able to observe a tree climbing lion resting in a tree.
Gorilla tracking in Bwindi was incredible. We were lucky, where it only took us 30 minutes to find the gorilla family we were looking for, but apparently it can sometimes take up to 3 hours to find the gorillas. It was such a unique experience. I will never forget it.
Our last night was at Lake Bunyonyi, which was beautiful and a perfect way to wind down to end our trip.
We were very impressed by all of the lodges we stayed at. Everything was clean and very nice (We opted for Mid-Luxury). All of the staff and locals we encountered were so friendly and spoke great English.
In my opinion, Uganda is a must visit in Africa. Our guide Francis was fantastic. His experience and knowledge made us feel safe the entire time and he also answered any question we had.
Uganda has so much to offer and we didn’t even get to see everything due to our safari only being 5 days.
Such an unforgettable trip. I highly recommend.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Vinay
I don't have to say much about Masai Mara. It is the perfect safari experience and is good in all aspects. Spend as much time as possible here. Preferably end your safari trip in Masai Mara. Stay in a resort that in inside the gate of the park.

In the middle of the nature
I went to Botswana with my sister and was amazing to be in their vast and perfectly well preserved national parks.
It is a priviledge to be with not many tourism in the middle of a beautiful and pristine nature, that belong to the animals and being and spectator of all that wild life.
Botswana are doing well, preserving its amazing natural heritage from the massive tourism.
We stayed in incredible and small lodges, saw a lot of natural life and unforgeatable countryside and all the guides and personnal were very profesional, knowleadge and kind.
Absolutamente worth the value for money

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Vinay
At lake Nakuru the population of Flamingoes depends on the water level. As of Oct 2015 the water level was high and so the population was quite low. We could not see a "pink sea" but we did spot the Greater and Lesser Flamingo along with Pelicans, stilts and cormorants. The highlight was spotting the White Rhino which we did not manage to see anywhere else!
