Reputable and reliable
Dave was calm and confident. Knowledgable and attentive to my travel needs. He assured the planning was thorough and follow up calls were completed during the trip to be sure I was well taken care of. I experienced integrity and genuine care with Great Safaris from the beginning to end of my trip.

Tydon is simply the best safari operator
Everyone and everything about Tydon was amazing. This operator has the unique rights/situation to go into the very exclusive Sabi Sand Game Reserve....as well as Kruger National Park. The Tydon camp was perfect. The tents were huge with your own bathroom connected to your tent, the lounge was very inviting, the food was plentiful and delicious (breakfast, lunch and dinner), and there was even a nice pool. Each night, after the great drives, we ate around the fire pit. The guides and staff were very kind, professional and knowledgeable. The open-air safari vehicles were new and super comfortable. Amazing place. 10 stars! I could not find one single thing that I could complain about. i was very lucky to find Tydon. By the way, I saw the Big 5, many, many times...with the guidance of our Tydon camp guides.

My Kruger Park Safari was simply amazing
I am a world traveler from Los Angeles, but I had never been on a safari. While I was visiting Cape Town and Johannesburg, I thought it might be interesting to book a trip to Kruger Park as a little side trip . Oh my God, I had no idea that safari, specifically at Kruger Park, would be sooo amazing. I must say that going on safari was one of the most unique and best things i have done in my entire life. It was so great to be out in nature to see all of the incredible animals that are in Kruger Park. The park is professionally run. The visit surpassed any and all of my expectations.

Really Well Organised Tour
We are really pleased we chose CKC Tours for our first experience in Africa. John met us at the airport and was happy to arrange transfers for our departure once our 8 day safari had concluded. Our safari included 2 night visits to Amboseli, Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater National Parks. We stayed at Serena Lodges throughout the trip and the experiences at each venue were really unique.
We managed to see the Big Five as well as many other animals. Our guide, Joshua from Serena Masai Mara went above and beyond to ensure we saw lions and cheetahs up close, which was amazing considering we traveled during the ‘low season’.
We would recommend CKC Tours, as the whole safari experience was made an easy and enjoyable one thanks to the professional and friendly service of John and his team. Even when an airline company cancelled an internal flight, John was available to do the rerouting.

Unforgettable experience!!!
We did the 3-day gorilla safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Park, and it was an amazing experience!!! Joseph, our driver and guide, was phenomenal. He was an extremely professional driver and navigated the chaos of Kampala quickly and safely. Joseph was very knowledgable, and we learned a lot about the mountain gorillas, gorilla conservation, and Ugandan history and culture during our trip. He had a great sense of humor and was a joy to spend three days with. The lodging at Broadbill Forest Camp was equally amazing. The views were breathtaking, the food was delicious, and the tents were extremely comfortable. It was chilly at night during our visit and we had hot water bottles in our beds every night- it made such a difference and was so cozy!!! Lastly, the gorilla safari itself was a once in a lifetime experience. The guide and rangers were kind, professional and funny, and they wanted us to have the best experience possible- and they succeeded! We saw so many gorillas and were so close, it was amazing to see them interact with each other and with humans. It was a beautiful, if strenuous, hike and it was an experience I'll never forget. Thank you Encounter Africa Safaris!! You're the best!!!

Trip Of A Lifetime!
My husband and I went to South Africa, Zambia, and then Cape Town for our honeymoon. The South African Safari at Kirkmans Kamp was absolutely amazing! We hadn't been to Africa before and didn't know where the best area to visit would be at. Sabi Sands game reserve had everything! We saw leopards, Serval, wild dogs, rhinos, and many more. It was amazing. All of our travel arrangements were excellent and waiting for us perfectly. The Royal Livingstone was beyond our expectations and the Cape Town hotel (Table Bay Hotel) was the perfect location!

Great day on safari
We had a wonderful one-day trip to Pilanesberg, which completely fulfilled our expectations. We saw lots of animals. The guide was very knowledgeable and knew where to find the animals. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
