A Birthday Celebration I'll Never Forget!
This was a trip to celebrate myself and my friends birthdays. We went for 10 days and had the most amazing time. This country is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been in my life! We visited both Johannesburg and Capetown. Johannesburg is full of history and we revelled in it. Visited Lesedi cultural village, Mandela House and the apartheid museum and were greeted warmly by everyone we came in contact with. The dancing and singing and all over welcoming vibe made it a wonderful place to be. In Capetown, the views are breathe taking. On several occasions my friends and I just cried from the beautiful sites before us. We did experience a touch of racism at an establishment in Hermanus called Walker Bay Grill but we did not allow that to effect the rest of out trip. We had an amazing experience at Gold's restaurant, went whale watching, saw the penguins at Boulder beach and saw amazing street performances. I would love to come back to South Africa. This was a trip like none other.

They are excellent, very helpfull and on time in our daily activities.
They are always there to help us in our needs. they are knowledgable in our daily task and on time if not earlier on time schedule. They explain all the places we visited as if they live there and knew about it not memorizing of what they read about the place. when it comes to accomodation they knew the place and check us in and show about the place even going to the rest room if needed. They are excellent people and I don't have a doubt in my mind that if I have to go back I will definitely look for thesame company

Lions were expected, but the experience delivered so much more with ecological observations
Kenya offers more wildlife experiences on a lower budget than you'll find in other African countries. In the Maasai Mara we saw many prides of lions, mostly resting and sleeping but we did encounter a lioness who was the last of her pride to eat (so scavengers were gathering to finish the remains). Even if your guide may not be the most knowledgeable about the local fauna, the guides use teamwork and communicate when unusual sightings take place. Thus, you are often ensured of seeing great sights.

Individual, very well organized safari with overwhelming impressions - perfect for family with kids.
I met Francisca, a very pleasant lady on ITB in Berlin. She offered us (family with 2 boys, 7 + 11) an individual safari tour to Mikumi and Ruaha NP with personal driver, to a very reasonable price. Every special requests and wishes were fast and competent implemented. Communication was always quick and precise. The driver was very experienced, emphatic and safari with him and the landcruiser jeep was an adventure. For our boys it was an unforgettable experience. The lodges we stayed (Stanleys Kopje and Ruaha River Lodge) were perfectly located and luxurious. Staff was very friendly, food delicious and just sitting there watching the scenery was magnificent.
We can definitely recommend and we will definitely come back!

Fantastic Trip
The safari experience in Zimbabwe was absolutely wonderful. I’ve been on three prior safaris in a different country and have to say this trip exceeded my expectations. The wildlife was plentiful, the scenery changed from place to place, and the guides were very knowledgeable and informative. Accommodations were great, and the food was fantastic. Had I eaten everything that was served, I would have easily gained 10 pounds in 10 days! As it was, I had to ask for smaller portions so as to not waste food. There was also a good cultural component, so be sure to ask about visits to nearby schools and villages. The camps I used were secluded enough that there were often no other vehicles in sight, so it was just our vehicle and the wildlife. Since other vehicles went out from the camps, they must plan different routes to avoid the “zoo” type of feeling. I would highly recommend Zimbabwe to anyone wishing to experience a good safari.

Great service, prompt communication
Vacay sorted out a last-minute booking for our group of four to Maasai Mara just when hotels and camps were starting to fill up quickly. Very patient with our requests, worked within our budget, and quick & professional with email communications. They arranged a great trip for us with our private transport and an excellent driver to boot. All fees itemized and no hidden or surprise charges. We've now booked with Vacay twice and will definitely use them again in the future!

This visit disappointing due to illness and fewer animals around than usual.
The wildlife we saw was good but sparse, accommodation clean and comfortable(really nice),guides knowledgeable and transport all fitted together well. My own illness rather spoiled this visit for me and temperatures were warmer than I've ever experienced before!
