Review about Sabi Sabi Game Reserve by lugolfer33
Some of the best food I had in Africa. Guides were a lot of fun and joined us for dinner which was a nice touch. Saw the big five.

Above expectations
We experianced a perfectly organized safari. Very kind people (guide/travel agent/locals) and beautiful wildlife.
If we need to point out some down sides, than its the cancellation of our last stay due to heavy rain. So we stayed in a bit more crowded lodge.
And the lunch boxes were not very varied. But this is just a minor.

First class experience overall!
I had a fantastic experience with Ulusaba. The lodging is split into two sections. I stayed on the top of the hill which had amazing views. There is also the river lodging which would provide a different experience. Both provide unique experiences. The service inside the lodge was tops and can't say enough about the food and the staff. The guides were fun and very knowledgeable. There was an abundance of leopard at this particular reserve. However, there was a large pride of lions that had a kill the week we were there. Big five were all there and there was even a pack of wild dogs which was rare. I would recommend this game reserve to small groups or families. Best lodging I've experienced out of the three lodges I've stayed at.

Great for budget and convenience, but more downtime than expected
Safari With Us booking at Kruger adventure lodge was overall a good experience for the price we paid, which while not cheap was definitely the cheapest we found compared to others for the value it offered. This package definitely maximizes budget and convenience (transportation to/from airports and safaris each day, breakfast and dinners included), however the package included more downtime than was expected with little to do on site.
The package advertised activities at night, full day safari and optional game rides on the third day. All optional rides were ~$100 extra each, there were no activities at night, unreliable WiFi only in the reception area, and the full day (which does start at 5am) ended before 3pm with nothing to do in the evening. So, what we thought was a 3 day safari was actually 1.5 (evening ride day 1 and 5am-3pm day 2). The game rides were incredible and made the experience absolutely worth it, but more transparency about what we were actually getting up front would have been nice.
The staff were mostly friendly (especially those who drove us and receptionists up front), with exception of 1-2 wait staff who seemed caught off guard when we sat down to eat and were not friendly at all.
The rooms were clean and spacious, though the AC does go out, the fridge did not work, and we found a frog in our bathroom on the last day.
Overall, I would still recommend this tour package if you are looking to maximize on budget and convenience while still getting to see some incredible things, but not if you are looking to maximize your time on Safari or a luxury lodging experience.

Educational above expectations.
From the start till the end we learned so many things, and that wasn't unimportant. In any way. You can go to a safari and se animals, or you can go to safari and learn something, we did the later part. Most people don't, but if you want, to learn something, go with these guyes. If you dont, try any leapord-colored truck, it might serve you...

7 day Nortern Tanzania Safari
me
We used Savannah Explorers for a 7 day safari and could not be any happier with our experience! Our guide Junior was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, but most importantly he has an unreal ability to spot animals (which is the whole point of the safari!) The whole thing was amazing but I’ll highlight our first full day in the Serengeti in particular-Junior asked if we would mind a slightly longer drive to be closer to the Migration, and of course we said yes. Even though it was a longer and harder drive for him (the roads in the park are challenging) he went out of his way to make sure we had the best day possible. We ended up seeing a pride of lions, more than 10 cheetahs, including a family which is really rare, and another pride of lions in the midst of a giant herd of wildebeest. It felt like we were in a nature documentary. Over the course of the safari we also saw the full Big 5, and way more. As for the company Savannah explorers itself, they were easy to communicate with, the accommodations they put us in were all great (especially Marera View Lodge which doesn’t seem to have a page on here yet but I would HIGHLY recommend) and we felt it was a very good value. This safari was part of our 3 week honeymoon in Tanzania and it was a truly unforgettable experience!!

I just want to say thank you in English, xiexie in Chinese, and asante sana in Kiswahili
We enjoyed our Chinese new year festival break in Kenya and Tanzania 11 days trip. My family were so happy. Driver was amazing, good food, good car, and good service. Price was very fair compare with other agent. I met the founder in their own famous Chinese restaurant Mr Li, very friendly to us, tell us his stories when he came to Kenya in 1980s. Nice people and nice trip.
Recommend Sino Africa to anybody and everybody!
