One of the best holidays we've been on
We just got back from South Africa and my wife and I both agree this is one of the best holidays we've been on.
Thank you so much for helping to plan and book the Victoria Falls and Sabi Sands leg of our trip. The accommodation at both locations were excellent and the transfers were seamless and went without a hitch. It was overall a very special experience for the both of us. We are happy that we took your recommendation on Kruger over Bostwana as we pretty much saw all the wildlife we wanted to see, given the relatively short amount of time we had available to go on safari.
We'll definitely recommend you to any of our friends who might need some help planning a trip in Africa.

Amazing time in the Serengeti
We had an amazing time in the Serengeti using the services of It Started in Africa. Great vehicle, they gave very good binoculars, the guide, Mbise, was very nice and excellent driver.
The accommodation in the park was also fantastic, we stayed in Serengeti Heritage camp, and it felt genuine, authentic but extremely comfortable, remote and with lovely staff. Amazing camp for a safari with animals around the camp everywhere.
All in all, a perfect safari.

Fantastic Safari Experience
I had a great experience with African Heart. From booking to airport pickup, to the safari, everything ran smoothly. Our guide was incredible. He was knowledgable, friendly, and professional. The things we saw on safari also blew is away. I recommend going on safari and I recommend African Heart.

Location rather than luxury!
Fantastic location, staff and breakfast. Disappointing room - aircon unusable due to noise and dirty tissues found in bed!!! No attempt by reception staff to apologise
Dinner at sister hotel awesome!

Serious and personal tour operator
I booked a 1 day trip with my girl friend and our guide Edward took us to the volcano crater lake near lake Nakuru. Edaward picked us up with a solid car and revealed as a very caring and friendly guide. He told us a lot about the landscape, culture and people of the region and guided our wonderful walk around the crater lake. The view was superbe (inclduing wildlife) and we had a relaxing tea time at the restaurant.

The more I reflect on this trip, the more I appreciate how great it was, a once in a lifetime trip.
Knowledgeable and skillful Gabi and Guido took the extra step to ensure we were witness to over 40 species of mammals and 180 birds at play, at feeding, mating, at rest and at surviving. Phillipo added his touch of humanness, humor and warmth to the Masaai Magic staff. Food, lodging, transportation were also excellent. So much fun being a part of the "5M" tour. Have been raving about this trip to friends and family.
Kilimanjaro Summit and incredible Safari with Mega Adventures was life changing!
What incredible experiences I had on two different Mega Adventures excursions.
First we were off to the summit of Mt Killimanjaro for a week long trek up the challenging mountain. Our lead guide, Mathew, had climbed the mountain over 400 times so he was a complete pro. Mega Adventures provided most of the required equipment, delicious meals, and competitant staff to get us to the top !
The following week Mega Adventures took us out on a week long safari which was probably the best experience if my life! Our guides were experts at knowing where to find all of the wildlife. During the first hour we saw lions, zebra, elephants, ostriches, gazelles, and giraffes. By the end of the week we had seen every large animal that Tanzania has to offer.
We were thrilled with the resorts that Mega Adventures picked for us for they were all five star!
If you want to see the real Tanzania I highly recommend Mega Adventures!
They will change your life.
The amazing feeling you get by standing in the midst of a herd of wild Elephants...
Amboseli is a pretty nice park for game-drives. It is not the park you want to visit if you have to see the "big five", because you won't find any rhinos or leopards here. But if you want to experience the incredible feeling you get when 20-30 huge african elephants silently passes by your car, this park is for you. If you are lucky you may get the oppurtunity to get a glympse of the largest free-standing mountain in the world, Kilimanjaro. The mountain is oft visible in the morning or evening hours. Though Amboseli is several miles away from the top, it still amazes hugely.
As for accomodation I can highly recommend Kibo Safari Camp. This is a luxury tented lodge, minutes from Kimana Gate. The staff, food, location etc. were excellent.
Per March 2015 the park were not overcrowded by cars, but only a few. This is much because of the reduction in tourism Kenya is experiencing. I personally prefer not to be part of a swarm of buzzing Toyotas when on game-drives, but rather have the oppurtunity to feel like in the only man-made creation in sight. This enables one to connect with the wildlife and nature in a special way. Nothing beats the sense of peace you get when the driver switches of the engine, and all you hear is Amboseli herself.
Review about Okavango Delta by evimeyer
The flood waters of the Delta cover 35,000 square kilometers, creating permanent lagoons lakes and channels even in the dry season. This oasis has some of the highest concentration of wildlife and an astounding number of bird species.
