A real trip of a lifetime, for learning, understanding, appreciating wildlife as a natural gift
Highly recommended it anyone. Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable.. Wouldn't recommended to see Sth Africa and Kruger Park without a guide that has Jaco experience, passion and professionalism regarding wildlife and tourism.
Seen all the important animals in our safari and the guided tours in the way for Kruger was excellent too - ended up in a most beautiful waterfall that I couldn't help myself but has to swim in it.
Looking fwd to Jaco sharing some of the pics he took of our trip.

Very nice, pleasant and perfectly organised 4 days safari with Avocet Tanzania Safaris
We made a 4 days safari with 3 people in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngoro-Ngoro beginn of April 2016 and enjoyed Avocet Tanzania Safaris' services. Avocet was very responsive from the first contact and perfectly organized the safari, including transfer from/to Dar es Salam and thanks to our friendly and competent guide Peter we made a pleasant safari and enjoyed all highlights despite the relatively short duration.

Honeymoon
We had the luck in contacting Land and Lake regarding our honeymoon. Their service was impeccable throughout. We had a twin centre holiday and the transfers throughout went without a hitch.
We whole heartedly recommend them if you want a professional and personal service . Five star.

Indescribably the most amazing experience of Africa with the utmost professional tour guide
From the very first time we met with Lourens in the comfort of our own home we knew we were in for the experience of a lifetime. He was the utmost professional showing his love of Africa in every photo and sentence. He was always available for any information and we even had a group meet and greet before leaving Perth. Every place we visited was magical, the Big5 found easily, the drivers so friendly and Lourens always guiding us brilliantly. It was the very best experience of our life and I don't think we will match it again ... until we go on another African Safari with Lourens of African Big 5 Safaris.

Fabulous safari
The safari operator faced a challenging task to organize a tour for us. We were a group of 7 - two families and a friend, with varying accommodation and dietary requirements. We had a short time (5 days) and wanted to cover a lot of sightseeing and game-viewing. And we were on a tight budget.
But we had a fantastic safari, without out a single blemish. The manager, Noah, planned the tour very well. He answered my emails very quickly and discussed issues over Skype when necessary. He clearly understood our requirements (which we kept changing), and arranged the safari accordingly.
Eustace was a superb guide and driver for the entire safari. He was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Starting from Nairobi we covered Amboseli, Lake Nakuri and Masai Mara within 5 days. Thanks to Eustace, we saw the big 5 and much more.
We stayed in excellent luxury game lodges organized by Noah and Eustace made sure that we were comfortable.
In short, we enjoyed much more than many of our friends, who paid much higher prices.

Excellent safari from Arusha through the Serengeti, including Ngorongoro Crater
Easy Travel used the Serena group of hotels/glamping for my 11 day safari. The accommodation was of a high standard and the staff were very well trained to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Our guide, Gerald, did an amazing job of spotting and identifying anything that moved (and even if it didn't!), and at whatever distance. The game drives were full on but one always had the option to stay and relax in the resort, some even had swimming pools. The safari met all my expectations and the African Savannah with all the wildlife one could wish to see, was exceptional.

An amazing photographic adventure of a lifetime.
A trip to Kenya and Botswana with the Big 5 Safari was the highlight of 2015.
In fact it was a highlight of our many travels over the years, and a photographic journey which both I and my husband thoroughly enjoyed.
The attention and care shown to us during this time was exceptional with all our needs met by Lourens Lee, who tried his hardest and succeeded in showing us the Masai Mara and its animals in all their glory with some great photoshoot opportunities.
A memorable experience which I can highly recommend to one and all, to join the “Big 5 Safari” for the adventure of a lifetime.
Thank you Lourens for a wonderful photographic adventure.

A great experience
Before our group came to Chobe National Park we were at two parks in South Africa. We saw more or less all the animals we saw in South Africa and then some more. :-) The guides were very competent, the scenery is great, we saw lots of wild animals, including a leopard and a cobra and of course lots of elephants. The scenery is great, the park is a must. Botswana is definetely worth a visit. We stayed close to the park and also heard a lion at night.

Stunning wildebeast migration
During the big migration the Masai Mara turns into a full-blown spectacle: Virtually endless herds of wildebeast make their way to or from the Serengeti. Along with dramatic crossings of the Mara river. Think crocs...
We stayed at Little Governor's Camp. Their 4-star tents are amazing! They left me wondering how 5-star tents would look like... (which we recently tested in Botswana...)
