Fantastic safari in the Kruger
My family and I (4 adults, 2 kids) had a wonderful time on the Armadillo vehicle with Chris and Nicky. We were met at the airport and taken care of from then on. Nothing was too much trouble and the meals were scrumptious. It's a terrific vehicle with great viewing and we saw almost all of the Big 5 (just found the leopard to be elusive this time). We took the softer option of staying in lodges but the camping option would have been great too - something for next time!! We can fully recommend this safari to anyone wanting a great adventure.

Unforgettable experience!
These guys responded quickly to my questions via email and offered the perfect Safari for me at a great price. The driver and his colleagues were very resourceful and found plenty of animals at every game drive, we even saw a Leopard and a Cheetah in addition to the usual group of animals. Beginning of June was great because there were few tourists, although we missed the Wildebeest migration by a couple of weeks, but it was still worth it. What an unforgettable experience! Want to go back for more!

Wonderful dedicated staff who ensured we had the best experience possible.
This safari went well beyond my expectations. Chris and Nicky were wonderful to deal with and made us feel comfortable at all times. Their knowledge of the animals and obvious delight in experiencing the sightings with us made it really special. I feel a bit spoilt as I can't imagine a better way to see so many wonderful sights and animals in such a short amount of time. The opportunity to take our time and really enjoy what we were experiencing was perfect. Thank you so much!

Wonderful Holiday
My family has an active, adventurous spirit, which Claire (safarihub) picked up on right away as we discussed options nearly nine months prior. Accordingly, Claire recommended camps that met our desires and expectations. I cannot say enough about how easy it was to work with Safarihub and how efficiently our holiday played out. Complex logistics were well planned and execution was seamless. Well done!

Excellent company great communication and a perfect trip!
First, the pre trip planning was excellent. Justin made the process effortless and very clear. His communication was superb! There were no surprises except-
Second, this was an extraordinary experience. Everything was as promised. The guide and cook were great. We choose a camping safari and felt very close to nature. Hyenas at the tent and a pride of lions nearby. One full week of safari and we saw the big five and more! It was a private tour with just my daughter and I.
Justin also handled a side trip to Zanzibar including all the transportation and accommodations. Can't say enough good things about Tanzania Expeditions and recommend them without reservation!

One adventure after another.
Totally exceeded our expectations from our first encounter with Rob Barber, a truly special guide, who has the most exceptional knowledge of the wildlife and the magical environment of Botswana. We have experienced all types of accommodation in different areas of the delta and desert, from luxury camps to mobile safaris and all have been of the highest standards. We have witness the interaction between prey and predator on every game drive and a firm favourite has to be witnessing African wild dogs from slumber to achieving their aim of feeding their pups and themselves. The exhilaration of being in the presence of lions, elephants, leopards, baboons, etc is second to none. The beauty and tranquillity of being on the water fishing, surrounded by the array of bird life is therapy. From the exceptional accommodation, wonderful food, dedicated staff and the beauty of Botswana Rob truly knows how to create a holiday that will last a lifetime as you will return time and time again.

A journey through the best wilderness on the planet with a born naturalist and bush expert.
I was brought up in the bush, have had numerous wildlife experiences, so I am no push over on quality experiences in that environment. I was truly impressed by the knowledge shared from the story about the size and volume and intricate nature of the simple termite mound to spending more than an hour as part of an elephant herd with their babies all around us and both parties totally relaxed and witnessing Elephant parenting dynamics such as trying to get the young to have their midday nap. Then on seeing a couple of twitching ears amongst the foliage Rob got down low and sent some calls into the dense undergrowth and then what emerged in front of us on the road was a pack of beautiful Wild dogs, a rare siting indeed. They were on the hunt and we followed them on their hunt for at least an hour and a half through dense bush bumpy terrain - wow! What an experience even the most priveleged of us bush folk recognise the enormity of the experiences we had on that 10 day trip of a lifetime. Only a true naturalist such as Rob has his finger on the pulse in the most beautiful environment that is the Okavango Delta - the last of real Afica and now a UN World Heritage site.

My experience with ACZ Safaris felt like walking down the red carpet from the booking to my return.
This was my second safari to Kenya after 30 years. I took my friend and 13 year old daughter which was their first safari. The initial contact and booking with ACZ Safaris was so simple online. I emailed what I wanted to do. Jon wrote back with suggestions and prices. I easily posted my deposit and sent them my travel itinerary. They had a driver pick us up at the airport delivering me to 2 nights at our hotel to rest up for our safari and to see some sights around Nairobi. We visited the farm of Karen Blixen, David Sheldrick elephant orphanage, and Nairobi National Park. The driver Martin was extremly courteous, knowlegeable and patiently answered every question we had. We saw the Masai Mara and the beqinning of the great migration. Had wonderful food and accomidations for 2 nights. Then on to Lake Nukuru to look for rhinos. We did and completed the hunt for the BIG FIVE which does not happen on every safari. The rest of the trip was just icing on the cake. We drove down to the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro in Amboselli National Park for 2 nights with a talented private Chef Frederick . The game drive and views were thrilling. We then drove to the famous Treetops Lodge for one night in Aberdare National Park where Princess Elizabeth was notified she was Queen upon her fathers death. The accomodations, food and views of the game were beyond what I expected. It had been nicely upgraded since I last stayed there but still had the characteristics that make it famous. The lodge had their hunter take us on a walking safari not only to see the wildlife but also explained some of the medical uses of the flora. That night they turned the flood lights on the saltlick for the guests to enjoy watching the game comfortably from a lookout. The next morning ACZ took us to Thompson Falls to see the waterfalls and have lunch. They drove us safely to the airport in Nairobi. I can't recommend this company enough. Being from the travel industry myself and being old school for customer service that you don't experience much anymore. This company goes over and beyond any promises they make. I was made to feel comfortable at all times and my safety and enjoyment was always number one with them. Everything was a thousand times better than I expected and I still can't get over their attention to every detail. My friend was so impressed too. My daughter had fun and got an education about another world, animals and travel that I can't provide at home or school.
