My experience with tropical vacations has been incredible.
Interaction with personnel at Tropical Vacations has been stellar. The service was well above my expectations. This was a well deserved tour and I will do it again. I highly recommend their services to anyone planning going safari tour.

Helpful, kind, honest people and an amazing country full of wildlife
Saw more birds in 5 days in Boteti Camp, Maun and Moremi game reserve than 2 weeks travelling round the Cape Provinces of South Africa. Wildlife in the Okavango Delta at a level with East Africa or Zambia in the late 70s. Absolutely fascinating country for flora and fauna. Loved the friendly smiling faces and amazed at the birds and animals.
Very affordable good standard, tented bush lodge with some of the best elephants in Africa
Very pleasant Park and tented lodges.
Varied scenery and terrain.
Good range of animals including Lions, Wild Dog, Leopard, Nyala and some of the best Tusker Elephants in Africa.
Plenty of food of good standards.
Organized, professional, flexible
Northern Circuit Adventure was a good company for us, particularly as we were booking at the last minute, unsure of our options and what we wanted, and on a budget. Michael was flexible in booking and responded quickly, and he was able to add on a trip to Zanzibar after our safari. Our driver, Dennis, was so knowledgeable and personable, and our cook was also friendly and helpful. Small issues that arose were quickly taken care of, and it was definitely a good value, considering that people who paid much more to other companies had most of the same experiences.

Not the best
We were told we had booked a particular accommodation, on the evening before our safari when we met them in Dar Es Salaam we were told we will be staying somewhere else as we were on the reservation list and the place was fully booked. We would never have booked if that was the case this, it was never explained in any email communications prior to booking. When we arrived at the accommodation is was way way below the standard we had booked for, aircon not working, broken windows, shower not working very well, need I go on! MAKE SURE YOU ARE GUARANTEED THE PLACE YOU WANT AND NOT TOLD YOU ARE ON A WAITING LIST!!!

Holiday of a lifetime
We loved the HolidayWe are two couples in their late fifties We missed our connecting flight to windhoek due to a technical problem with the plane Safari bookings couldn't have been more helpful to change the pickup short notice. We drove to camp sossus which was probably the best catering experience we ever had .Friendly efficient staff ,beautiful recycled bungalows with star bed (you sleep outside in a proper bed with duvets and pillows Wow) wonderful food and very interesting outings From there we went to swakopmund and took a boat to the seal colonies .Pelicans and seals hoped onto the boat and we got to try freshly harvested oysters with sparkling wine and if you don't like oysters there were other goodies .Put warm clothes on .From there up the skeleton coast interesting but cold and from there to damara land .Ugab Terrace lodge Wow The staff couldn't do enough for us the view exceptional and the excursion wonderful. From there to Okutala Etoscha lodge with white rhinos and free ranging giraffes (one welcomed us on arrival at our bungalow) Food and staff again very good .Then two days in Etoscha halali resort with a very impressive waterhole ,well worth getting up early in the morning and late at night We saw elephant herds with babies black and white Rhinos oryx, kudu ,springbok, dik-diks, lions, owls vultures giraffes ,zebras , honeybadgers and many more And the hwole time we felt very safe and got value for money .We will be back Thank you for the staff in safari bookings to organize such a wonderful trip

Review about Nairobi National Park by Heather
Nairobi National Park is not one of the best parks to visit in Kenya. If you are coming to Kenya specifically for safari, there are so many bigger and more beautiful parks and reserves in Kenya with greater variety of wildlife. However, I had already been to most of the other big tourist destination parks in Kenya and I had an extra day in Nairobi, so I decided to book a day safari in Nairobi National Park and I'm glad I did. Although it's not as wonderful as the Maasai Mara, Samburu, Tsavo, or any of the other big parks, it is still a wonderful little retreat into Kenya's wildlife that lies just outside the main area of the city. I was a little disappointed with the variety of the wildlife. I asked my guide why we weren't seeing lions or rhinos and he pointed towards the more heavily forested areas where the roads didn't go, and he said they mostly hid over there. We did, however, still see a lot of animals such as giraffe, zebra, many types of antelopes, buffaloes, ostriches, etc. My guide also took me to an area where I was allowed to get out of the vehicle and an armed guard took me for a short walk in search of hippos. We couldn't see them, but we could hear them on the other side of the river breathing loudly and making their unique vocalization. It was very enjoyable. For a 1 day excursion within Nairobi, I enjoyed it very much.

Accomodating and helpful in our planning my tailormade safari to fit our budget. Ask questions
Communication was a bit slow but picked up and all was fine once i asked for details. Paul was very helpful considering we decided to do this last minute trip. The service was very good and safari lived up to my expectations. Nairobi, Nakuru, Naivasha and Kisumu with partner and 16 year old child.
5 stars bo było bardzo dobrze zorganizowane :)

Botswana is the pearl of Africa
Visiting Botswana was one of our dreams. Thanks to Emmelyn from Savanna Safaris & Tours this dream finally came true. Botswana is the pearl of Africa for sure. In total, we spent 13 days in Botswana and stayed in 6 different accommodations. During the trip, we visited both the Kalahari Desert and the Okavango Delta. We felt safe, welcome, and cared for throughout our trip. Each of the safari camps had different flora and fauna. It is surprising how different nature can be within one country. We saw many different animals, birds and even some snakes. Also, many breathtaking natural views and beautiful Botswana sunsets and sunrises. Safari trips are a good way to get to know the nature and animals of Botswana. It's a great opportunity to see the real, harshly beautiful natural life, and it's all accompanied by trained guides. The people of Botswana are hospitable, kind, helpful and interested. Even the biggest gourmet will find a suitable meal for his taste, as the chefs prepare a wide variety of dishes. If you have a dream about Africa I will suggest to start with Botswana.
