A magical place
Kenya has my heart forever - I’d go back to visit it each year if possible, it has everything: scenic landscapes, the friendliest people, delicious food, wildlife, gorgeous sunsets - it’s difficult to put it into words to describe its beauty.

Absolutely beautiful!!!
We had a full day layover on our way to Zim and made the most of it by booking a game drive in Nairobi National Park and it was absolutely worth the jet lag! It was so incredible and we were able to see most of the animals on our list including Lions and both Black and White Rhinos! It was absolutely incredible. I wish we had more time there but I’m so glad we were able to make the most of our time there with the game drive. Our tour operator Olengugih Safaris was incredible and went above and beyond to make our day in Kenya truly magical, will definitely book with them next time we go to Kenya!

Uganda is a perfect place to see the wild beauty of Africa, but also a very hospitable people!
We’ve been coming for years to Uganda to work among people in rural, impoverished villages. But this was the first time we had the opportunity to explore some of the natural beauty of Uganda.
We’ve spent vacations in France, Hungary, Peru, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Alaska and more…..but this trip (a Safari) to Murchison Falls Park TOTALLY equalled or even surpassed what we’ve seen and experienced in these more famous places!
We experienced up close and personal viewings of rhinos, giraffes, elephants, leopards, a lion pair, hippos, water buffalo, crocodiles, baboons and a wonderful array of birds and lizards! Because we were there in the off season, we also had our Pamoja tour guide (Amos) all to ourselves and he was great!
And the crazy thing is…all this was available to us at a much less expensive cost (we are now living on a limited budget) than the more famous safari countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana or South Africa.
So—-if you’re considering a trip to this amazing continent, look at Uganda and any of their big national parks. We plan to visit more of these for sure!!! Bwindi and the mountain gorillas are next year!

Beautiful! Smelled wonderful

The most diverse scenery that still looks untouched by humans.
Arranged the Trip through Great Explorations. (Outstanding) Flew to Windhoek and hired a 4x4 from Namibia 2 Go. Drove down to Sesriem in the South where the magnificent red dunes then Deadvlei where the trees are frozen in time from a million years ago when the river dried up. Temperatures in the upper 20's Took the Spreetshoogte Pass on route to Solitaire and witnessed the Moonscape like surroundings. A sight to behold. Drove to Swakopmund through canyons and incredible scenery. Roads are quite rough so we welcomed the 4x4. Recommend that you do the Living Desert Tour in Swakop which was so informative. Cooler weather here low 20's The Namibia desert is the oldest desert in the world and holds many secrets. Then drove through the Skeleton Coast on tar and salt roads on the way to Damaraland. Visiting Palmwag and Twyfelfontein. Much warmer here in the mid 30's. Again amazing scenery. Then into Etosha for 4 nights. Don't expect the same type of accommodation or first world service in the park. The roads were in terrible condition perhaps due to a lot of rain about 2 weeks prior. This impacted on the game viewing experience as there was little need for the game to seek water at the waterholes. The waterholes at the camp were a highlight for evening viewing and are recommended. Weather early 30's. Good birding which helped with the lack of animals.
It would be great if The government controlled park could do more maintenance. We spent 4 days driving through large areas of the park and didn't see one grader working on the roads. We would like to revisit Namibia and do the South where Luderitz is and also far North if possible. Would probably give Etosha a miss.
