Highly Recommended
I absolutely loved my experiences with Afrishare. I have been to Tanzania three times with them, traveling on safaris to Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, etc. I got to visit traditional Masai homes, and on safari I was lucky enough to see every animal imaginable---even a black rhino! I found the prices very reasonable, there are different price points available for both the budgeting traveler and the luxury traveler. I cannot give enough good praise for the owner of the company, Ibrah. Not only is he a wonderful host, guide, and travel expert, he is also an amazing person in that he gives back to his community. He works with underprivileged children and community leaders to improve the quality of life in Moshi. I can't wait to go back to Tanzania for the fourth time with him.

Magnifique experience reaching Kilimanjaro, great customer service from Transkibo!!!
Maginifique!!! i think it was one of the greatest trips we have ever done. I am Mexican and my husband is French, so we opt for the Marangu route, because i was very scared about the cold weather and sleeping in tents, so we opt for the huts. My husband look into other agencies before choosing Transkibo, Thomas from Transkibo was very proactive responding all our questions, and i think for Rapport Quality Price, i think we made a great choice! Thomas and Abraham were there since we arrived, one of our luggage did;t arrive, so they arrange everything so our trip could start as planned and they deliver us the delayed luggage at 3700 mts!!! ;-) Also a GREAT experience thanks to our guides, i will recommend you ask for Balthazar and his assistant guide, Stevenson!!! What a blessing! they were so kind and always smiling!! Everyone from the team was great, the chef, the porters, always with a smilie.. As i told to Balthazar, the smile keeps us strong and bring us to reach the summit!!! We really enjoyed every part of it.. i can't think about anything negative, because even the difficult things.. as altittute, fatigue, toilets (!!!) it is part of the experience.. and being that close to nature and with people as the team we had, so humble and happy, makes you realize how much we missed sometimes in our " developed " countries!! Also in the way back, before leaving, Abraham and Thomas were there to guide us where to do some shopping before we head to the airport!! Anyway, any comments/questions, feel free to ask me!

A beautiful country with amazing people!
We spent 16 nights in South Africa and in addition we visited Zimbabwe and Mauritius while on vacation. We visited Cape Town, drove the Garden Route spending time in Franschhoek, Hermanus, Knysna, and Gqeberha (PE), before traveling to Hoedspruit for a safari in the Karongwe Private Reserve.
Cape Town was incredible as we were able to tour Table Mountain, Seal Island, Boulder Beach, The Cape of Good Hope, Kirstenbosch, and Constantia for a taste of their excellent selection of wine. The food and wine in Franschhoek was amazing. The scenery along the way through Hermanus, Knysna, and PE was breathtaking! We even visited the Knysna Elephant Park and had a close up encounter with elephants and zebra.
We were able to see the Big Five in Karongwe as well as zebra, hippo, giraffe, and cheetah and many other animals on the list along with many bird species. The food and service at the Karongwe River Lodge was 5 star.
We have already recommended South Africa as a destination that should be on anyone's travel bucket list!

Wonderful scenery and an incredible amount of healthy wildlife with trips on water and land
We saw four of the big Five there easily. Weather was fine and very hot. Stayed at Nile Safari Lodge. Rooms rather basic and little light in evening. View from room though was over the Nile for lovely sunsets. Food was plentiful but not very exciting. Our guide Wilson from Volcano Safaris accompanied us throughout Uganda and Rwanda and was one of the best we've had. Our vehicle had removable roof panels so we could stand up for photography. Highlights were seeing a leopard in a tree and another stalking an antelope, and a spotted hyena on the track in front of our vehicle. Scenery enhanced by the Nile flowing through the savanna

Review about Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park by Bird Brian
This is one of South Africa's top parks. Not only are there vast herds of grazers, there are a large number of predators. One would be unlucky not to see one of lion, cheetah or leopard on a visit. It is a large park, with a wide variety of camps and accommodations, of high quality.
