Wouldn't change a thing about my experience - wonderful!
I am very much into animals so the wildlife experience in Madikwe was beyond amazing. My transport driver was such a great tour guide on just the ride there and back - he was soooo knowledgeable about all the various local people. Such an educational and interesting man. I stayed at Bush House in Madikwe which was amazing. The people are so nice and helpful and the food!!! I am vegan and they totally accomodated my diet with the most delicious food! (This after I had spent 8 days at a rhino rescue then another 3 in Kruger where it was total miss with the volunteer portion and hit / miss in Kruger.) The bed was so comfortable and the grounds just beautiful. Truly one of the most wonderful experiences (and I've had many) of my life.

Amazing time!
We had an incredible time! Madikwe is the perfect place to go to see a lot of animals in a peaceful manner. It’s not overcrowded; you only see a few other game cars while on the drives which is nice because it may only be you and the animals at times. We saw at least 10 different animals and even group of female lions eating on a zebra! Everyone at Madikwe is incredibly friendly with lots of knowledge on the reserve, it’s history, and the animals. We stayed at the Bush Lodge, and it was an incredible experience. I strongly recommend staying with the Bush family. They are very warm welcoming and professional. The weather in the month of May was great; chilly in the mornings and evenings, but it was bearable with a jacket and pants. Middays were perfect! We had a great time at Madikwe through SafariWithUs bookings.

Our Safari with Bright African Safaris was amazing!!!
An African Safari has been on our bucket list for many years. In 2014 we started looking at different safari companies and found they varied significantly in price and services. After contacting many companies, we chose Bright African Safaris, a locally owned company. Our contact, Msangi Charema was prompt in answering our questions and listened to our wants. With his knowledge of the wide variety of places to visit, he put together our trip of a lifetime. Once we were in Tanzania, our guide, Amir, was the best - friendly and accommodating, with the eyes of a hawk and knowledge of the animals. We traveled in September 2014 and the wildlife viewing was amazing!! We saw elephants, zebras, lions, wildebeest, giraffes, and many smaller animals every day.

Suricata Safari is the best
Ten day Safari with Suricata Safaris. Our guide, Floridi, was the best, best animal tracker, best sense of humor, best patience with us. We saw the big ten animals, up close and easy to photograph. The landscape was beautiful, the accommodation and food perfect on our Safari. We just wish it was longer. Then five days in Nungwi, Zanzibar. Swimming in the warm Indian Ocean, spice farm tours and lots of beach walking. Tanzania has it all. Friendly, helpful people too.

Seamless adventures were great
Samless adventures were great
Before we got there they tailor made a safari for my party including picking up and dropping off at the airport, kept in touch with me through my booking and were polite and helpful throughout, even when I asked for the certificates from their tour company.
They organised really good lodges for us to stay in.
Our guide, Kisali, was amazing, really polite, enthusiastic, really knowledgeable about not only animal but plant life too. Was able to spot animals from a distance and really patient with us all.
All in all had one a really great and amazing time in Tanzania thanks to Samless adventures.

Spicy
We did visit Stonetown and Maganga Spice Farm. The visit in Stonetown was well taken care of with a good and joyfull guide and a tasty lunch. The during time was correct. The visit at Maganga Spice Farm was good and interesting. The during time, specially with a larger group, took a little too much time. My advise: keep the groups small, maximum 10 persons.

The Trip of a Lifetime
My trip to Kenya was the trip of a lifetime and it lived up to my expectations. Africa Travel Waves provided great guides (Tom, Isaac and Evans), great places to stay with great food. The animals we saw were amazing.

It was a marvelous safari tour with the highligths Sossuvlei, Swakopmund and Etosha National Park.
The safari tour happened as expected concerning wildlife, scenery, weather, accommodations, food and guides.
Some remarks to issues that were not as expected: there were too many changes concerning the participants, transportation was not always o.k. because of less space for legs by the back seats, first day of safari tour without program (only stay at the guesthouse).
We state that the guides were excellent. They were extraordinary familiar with wildlife and could show as more wild animals as expected.
