Tour 18/10/2014 - 6/11/2014 Uganda - private group 6 persons (Belgium)
We got everything as specified in their programme. Very good guide/driver.
Sipi Falls, Murchison Falls NP, Kibale Forest, Queen Elisabeth NP, Bwindi.
Visit to local projects is also very interesting.
An incredible unique experience.
Visiting the Central Kalahari Game Reserve was a unique, incredible and irreplaceable experience. It was incredible to see the nature and scenery that the area had to offer and I would gladly return anytime.

Great first time safari for someone who hasn't done one before
The safari exceeded my expectations and made me want to do another one. This was really reasonably priced, and everything about it was awesome. The chalet I stayed in had a good ac unit, and was modern. The lodge and staff were very friendly, it even had a pool. The food was good. The driving wasn't far to Kruger park, and the guides were very observant and professional trying to show us everything we wanted to see. I managed to see all the big 5, and then some. I would recommend getting the morning drive on the 3rd day, it was worth it. This is a good safari experience, specifically if you are someone on a budget. If you have a bigger budget to do it big, maybe staying in the park would give you more opportunity to see the awesome animals.

Fantastic experience, living for few days so close to wild animals in their natural environment.
Our first time to go for a safari, so we did not know what to expect despite all the readings about safari. For the 35th anniversary of our marriage we decided to go on a "luxury" safari to have the best experience possible and we have not been disappointed.
Weather was the right time, no rain during the 5 days of safari, observing the migration of the wilderbeasts (largest migration of mammals on the planet) with its lots of carnivores and other meat-eaters.
The whole trip was planned very professionnally from day#1 to the end, driving on 4 wheel drive by a top-class guide handling both the safe driving, extraordinary knowledge of animals world, professionnal and friendly service attitude. 2 Hotels used as stopover were of excellent quality and the life camp in Serengeti among the animals was just outstanding in terms of confort, food and service, in the middle of nowhere.
Game drives in serengeti, observing the birth on baby wilderbeast, hunting of wilderbeast in daytime by a pride of lions, remains of wilderbeast being fought for by lots of hyenas, all those things that we see only on TV and that we watched live.
Return to Arusha by plane instead of road was just the right thing to do after all these days of thrill.

Truly a trip of a lifetime. A fulfilling experience in just a week.
Overall, better than what you see in pictures and TV unlike other places in the world. Very beautiful scenery, weather excellent for January, and wildlife is more than what one experiences in school, in a zoo, and in media. Safari guide, Joshua, was not only a super-pro in his knowledge of the Serengeti, but a super friendly, funny and interesting personality. Very relatable to those outside of Africa with an excellent combination of book and street smarts.

An exhilarating and rewarding climb and an amazing safari.
My wife and I wanted to climb Kili as a celebration of our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary and Kilimanjaro Brothers was recommended to us by a friend who climbed Kilimanjaro about a year ago. George Mtaki and his team met or exceeded all our expectations. Organizing with George by email couldn't have been easier. He was very responsive and answered all our questions promptly. When we arrived at the airport at 2:30 in the morning, George and his driver were there with smiles on their faces ready to take us to our hotel in Moshi. The Park View Hotel was very comfortable and served as our home base before and after the climb. George was very flexible and helped us coordinate a visit to a local children's home that we wanted to visit as well.
The Kilimanjaro Brothers guides and crew were exceptional. Rogers (Rojas) and Saide, our lead guides, spoke english very well and were the most personable and friendly hosts on the mountain that we could have ever imagined. We set out to do an 8 day trek on the Lemosho route. After a couple days when our guides were able to assess our fitness level and our tolerance for the elevation, we quickly determined that we could do the route in 6 days. Rogers and Saide radioed down to George and were easily able to adjust our plan.
We successfully reached the summit just as the sun burst over the horizon and poured its glorious warmth and light over us and our celebration. What a thrill!
The safari that George organized for us to Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater was a welcome reward after six days on the mountain. The wildlife was incredible... everything that we'd heard about.
Thank you so much to George and his team for providing us with a life changing experience as we accomplished one of our life's dreams.

What a fantasitc trip!
Great hotels with nice people surrounds you, nice driver provides good service to us. All animals are amazing and so close to the window. We saw the big 5, special 5，and much more more. We learned so much about the animals and their behaviors, because our driver Mike was so knowledgable. We saw lions were hunting a zebra. We saw a big group of elephants and with sunrise when doing ballon safari.
Sino Africa is really outstanding, and we had lifetime experience.

Tydon Safaris-Highly Recommended
Went on a 4-day, 3-night safari with Tydon Safaris to Sabi Sands Preserve and Kruger National Park and had a wonderful time. The guides were knowledgable, nice, fun, laid back - just what you needed. The food and tents were fantastic. I have to say, i liked the type of safari done at Sabi Sands better than Kruger. It was truly off-roading and closer to nature. I saw everything i wanted to see and more!
i was picked up from my hotel in the joberg area and was driven solo to the tenting camp - glamping is more like it. it was a long drive, but not bad.
the drive back to Joberg airport was very scenic. we took the panoramic route.

It was incredible
The places we visited were gorgeous! We did the Safari with Enchanting and James, our guide, was really good. He was very confident about the roads, and give as a lot of information. He made us feel very comfortable during all trip. Edna helped us to choose the itinerary and she was very sensitive with as. Also the accommodation was great. We stayed at Serena in Ngorongoro NP and then in Tending Bush Camps at Serengueti NP. I strongly recommend Enchanting as a excellent company to do the Safari. Hope could do another Safari with them soon.
