The view from the Ngorongoro Serena Lodge is spectacular.
From the ridge to the bottom of this "worlds largest crater," is 9,000'. The wildlife presence is one of the highlights. Elephants, black rhinos, hippos, giraffes, water buffalo, lions and many large birds. The food and view from the Serena lodge makes this a place to visit.

A beautiful wild country
We had a lovely time in Botswana, a country with many massive protected parks. We visisted several of them allowing us to see many many animals as well as different landscapes from the Kalahari desert to Chobe via the Okovango delta. A huge area of wilderness, not many tourists, it felt really like an adventure as we did a mobile camping safari that we definitley recommend with Shipungo Safari! We spend many nights looking at the stars in the wilderness, listening to all the animals living there. The people and our guides were lovely as well, we felt safe. The weather was nice in May, dry and not too hot. Definitely recommend it, we loved it! And we finished with the Victoria falls in near Zimbabwe to conclude 2 wonderful weeks.

I has such a lovely honeymoon Safari at the Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda.
I had an unforgettable experiences when I visited the Murchison falls National Park. The most outstanding of the experiences is when we stood at the top of the falls and watched the waterfall. It was a such a beautiful scene and was coupled with a rainbow. Other wonderful experiences included the game ride and boat cruise. In the game ride, our guide named all the animal and bird species encountered in our local dialect which I found amazing. During the boat ride I came within a meter or two of a crocodile basking in the sun which was a bit frightening but I enjoyed as I had never seen a live crocodile myself. Our accommodation at the Kabalega wilderness lodge was wonderful to say the least and the chef formidable enough to make me fall in love with Italian Pasta once again.

Loved Kenya!
Awesome safari in Samburu National Park! Stunning scenery with an incredible number of elephants. Tented safari camp was an amazing experience. Ol Pejeta was an incredible location as well with tented safari camp beside a watering hole. Unreal sounds at night. Tons of rhinos. They even put a hot water bottle in our bed so that we wouldn’t be cold in the early morning. Food was very good as well at both locations. Overall experience was excellent! Service was excellent and extremely friendly at all locations even airport customs. Would highly recommend.
Incredible experience without walls or cages!
The location was outstanding with an abundance of animals roaming freely. Stopping next to a group of 5 male lions with in 3 meters in an open vehicle, was sensational. Campground was fine and our guide was outstanding. He prepared most of our meals, which were delicious and we only had one meal at the park restaurant. In addition to knowing where to find animals, he recapped the history of the Boer War which was fascinating. He was a true "renaissance" man. I want to come back!

10 out of 10 for itinerary and organisation
African Ubuntu Safaris put together a fantastic safari and beach itinerary. The entire holiday was stress-free due to the excellent and perfectly co-ordinated service provided - not a minute of precious holiday time was wasted. Special thanks to Diederik for all the planning.

Great accessible and affordable wildlife viewing
We spent four nights camping in Kruger National Park. The park was exceptionally well maintained - roads were all in good condition, the camping areas were clean and quiet and the wildlife viewing was exceptional. Our safari company was Armadillo Overland Safari and Adventure Tours, and they did a terrific job taking care of us. We spent quite a bit of time driving through the park and saw an amazing amount of wildlife, especially birds. Chris and Nicky provided lots of books to identify what we saw but they were also quite well informed and gave us lots of additional information about the animals and the park. Late March was an excellent time to visit the park as it wasn't crowded and the weather was mostly good (just a little rain.) The tents were relatively easy to set up, the food was great, and Chris and Nicky were very responsive, informative and accommodating. Camping might not be right for everyone, but we were comfortable and saw more than we ever expected. The truck is quite amazing (cold drinks, charging station and a toilet!) and puts you up higher for better viewing. If you want to see Kruger up close and not spend a fortune, this is absolutely the way to do it!
