Lifetime experience and profound beauty
South Africa wasn't on our radar of trips. too many concerns personally like a long flight from U.S., safety concerns and really not educated on what it had to offer besides the safaris you hear about. It was life changing with it's beauty and nature and things to do and see. The mountains, the ocean, the people were outstanding. So much too offer and everyone made us feel welcomed. Uber was great and most experiences had pickup included or would do for a nominal fee. The game park was an amazing place. The resort was very nice and food was very good and was buffet which was always full with many options to eat. The game drive was in a beautiful area and we saw quite a bit of the Big 5 except for one. I would do it all again tomorrow if time would allow.

Amazing to see so many different animals in the wild and to experience the beautiful scenery.
Our 8 day tour in Tanzania was absolutely wonderful! Great seeing many different animals in the wild and the scenery was incredible. Our tour guide was very careful with his driving when we went high and around some bends. I do not like heights but I was comfortable with his driving. The Arusha Farm House is a beautiful place to stay, with a swimming pool, lovely surroundings and very good food.

Nice mix of rural and cosmopolitan beauty especially in Capetown
Booked with Safari Life and had a wonderful experience. I was a little concerned about the transportation connection as there were no direct transfers from Johannesburg to the Umkumbe Lodge in Sabi Sands but it went very smoothly both ways and the wildlife was amazing--most of which we were able to see from the privacy of our back deck. Everything looked very natural from the rhinos we saw in the bush to the monkeys that came down from the trees to steal sugar off our table. The luxurious lodging gave us the best of both worlds enjoying a nice swim or massage when not out on game drives and we even found a leopard. Leopards are the hardest of the Big 5 animals to find because they are solitary animals that hang out in the trees. Wonderful experience with excellent food that the host was able to tailor to any dietary restrictions for any individual.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Janice Verhoeven
Serengeti is my favorite park that we visited!!! The sheer size of the park is crazy and the number of animals is are to believe until you see it!

Magical tour!
We had a brilliant three days with Makini going to Napuri waterfalls, Dulati lake, Ngorongoro crater and Tangarine National Park. Nancy, Jobar and the team made everything so easy and went above and beyond to make our trip special.

Professional, understanding of our wishes, knowledgable ....Arem Safaris was all of these!
We spent one month touring East Africa with one other couple. Arem Safaris planned our entire trip, taking into consideration our wishes for accommodations, places we wanted to visit, and cultural experiences we wanted to partake in. They were professional and looked after our every need during the tour. The guides were incredibly knowledgable and went over and above to make sure they gave us the the best wildlife viewing opportunities. The thoughtfulness of the guides was amazing...we were even surprised by an evening "sunset drive" on the Serengeti where our guide set up a table complete with chairs and a table cloth and a bottle of wine to watch the sunset with the gazelles grazing nearby! If you are looking for a once in a lifetime adventure, look no further....Arem Safaris went over and above our expectations!

Trip of a lifetime!!
I couldn’t have imagined a more spectacular and memorable bucket list trip to Kenya and Tanzania, and Leadwood Holidays is all to thank. I am always the trip planner, making detail oriented plans to the hour, but relented the itinerary of this trip to the experts.
The focus of the trip was seeing as many animals and as much natural beauty as possible, and what we experienced vastly exceeded my expectations. Beautiful lush savannahs and grasslands, mountains, rivers, the Big 5 and herds of thousands of animals, was absolutely magical. We were also able to experience some of the city, beaches, and countryside as well. The guides were so experienced, knowledgeable and professional. The safari vehicles we rode in were spacious and comfortable and included amenities such a coolers and charging stations. The lodges and campsite were clean, modern, with staffs committed to the highest level of hospitality.
It is clear that the experts at Leadwood Holidays know this area inside and out. They listened to my wish list and made it all come true. And even more surprising is that over a 15 day holiday, we did not have one set back or problem. Despite spending a good amount of time traveling from one destination to the next, crossing borders, traveling by cars and planes, we did not have one delay or mishap.
Thank you to Leadwood for the trip of a lifetime!
