Review about South Africa by Steve
South Africa is a great destination, with experiences to suit all different tastes.
Cape Town is a beautiful city, the Cape Peninsula is a fantastically scenic area, as is Stellenbosch and the Cape wine country just outside of Cape Town. Johannesburg is different altogether, and students of apartheid will have a first hand experience of the legacy of apartheid and study it close up. We did not go to the bustling commercial melting pot of Durban, but would love to do so. We did go to Sun City, but did not go on any game drives there.

enjoyable and flexible, perfect for my trip
I was traveling alone and michael helped to organize my trip via email. He respond always very fast and answered all my questions. As well, he was super flexible in organising my trip, a part which i liked very much. When i arrived in nairobi the driver waited for my and it was good to "know" already a person. My guide also visited me in my hotel to explain me everything about my hiking trip and answered all my questions. The hiking it self was awesome! The guide and cook (very nice food! :-) ) took care of me all the time and left my time and space for my self as well. The accomodation was okay as well. You might share your room with 7 other people or you are lucky as me and have the room for your self :-) I decided sponteanously to spend one more night at the mountain and i was thankful that they organised it. I would highly recommand this company and michael and his guides! It was an awesome time and they made it possible! Thanks!

Very customer oriented and easy to make your own itinerary
I was in Kampala for work and had some days left to see Uganda. My major goal was to include a chimpanzee tracking. Not knowing where to go, I searched on Safari Bookings. A lot of (expensive) options, but I found a budget travel option at Cul and Tours. I went to their office and thought I would be added to another group of people, doing the same trip. But for that period there were no other clients for the places I wanted to see and Steven, the owner, said he still had time to take me to those places. We went through the programme and I still could make a choice between a budget trip or an upgraded budget trip, from ordinary tents to the more luxury tents.
It was good company with Steven and the two of us chatted about all kind of things. He saw all the animals along the way in the parks which I never would have seen without his guidance. He also knew a lot about all animals and birds (and kept on studying when he didn't have to drive.)
I can recommend Cul Tours and Safaris, also for those who are travelling alone.

We enjoyed Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
We travelled to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park , which as number of gorilla families for gorilla trekking , We used Gorilla Tour Booking Safaris to book a safari to Uganda the company provided us a guide who was superb in a number of ways he was well informed about the wildlife history and geography of Uganda. Since this was our first safaris we were asking a lot of questions concerning gorillas, national parks and Uganda as a Country.
We loved Bwindi National Park, the hospitality, accommodation, food and drink was excellent.
Thank you Gorilla tour booking safaris team for a very professional service provided

Our experience with Gain & Marshall was smooth, easy, personable, customizable, and professional.
We booked through Gain & Marshall and we're very glad we did. Every inch of our trip was customized and tailered for us. Our travel coordinator Clare recommended the Kwara sites in the Okavango Delta as well as a top-end micro-resort near Victoria Falls. We ran into several travelers who were experiencing difficulty with their travel coordinators. We didn't even have a hiccup!
If you want to see cheetah kittens playing at sunset, or have a bull elephant scratch his back on your thatch roof, the Okavango is the place... Thanks to Clare at Gain & Marshall, we'd go again in a heartbeat...

To feel humanbeing as part of wildlife nature and find the beautful essence of all creatures.
I think the Samburu is wonderful place ,but I also find there are a lot of children need help.

Review about Kenya by jasonlu01
I love Kenya but I think we should put as much attendtion to wildlife as to the people there.
it was every thing I expected. I had to pinch my self when with the animals, I thought I was dreami
Masihambe Africa organized every thing from johannesburg to kruger park and back. everything went smoothly, the outlook lodge was wonderful, the staff were so helpful they organized to keep most of our luggage back at johannesburg and met us at the airport to return it to us. at the safari we were looked after from the time we arrived till the time we left. they even drove us to the airport and gave us another small safari on the way.
so anyone going to Africa use Masihambe Africa and get a magical ride.

I dodged hippos on water, tracked lions on land, ate and drank like roylaty, yet slept like a baby.
This was my twentieth trip to Africa and one of the most exciting. It is hard to describe the adrenalin rush when canoeing so close to hippos. The natural beauty of the Mana Pools shoreline is something I will never forget. The steadfastness, experience and knowledge of our canoe guides, Mark and Takeshore, was reassuring as we glided down the river. It also helped knowing that at the end of each day, our mobile safari camp would be waiting for us with a selection of fine beverages, delicious food, a warm fire and a comfortable bed. The bird life is amazing and we encountered lots of hippos, big crocs, elephants, buffalo, lion and a large cross section of antelope. I intend to return.
