Quick but Great
I only had time for about 24 hours in the Kruger Park but it was great. Great accommodations and staff, wildlife was good but I was expecting to see more but I was not there during their best viewing season. The accommodations before I went into the park was also amazing, wish I had more time at all of the places.
When talking to other people visiting, they all enjoyed staying at multiple campsites throughout their trip because different parts of the park have different experiences.

Amazing and perfect!
We had a perfect 6 day trip, we were really lucky with our tour guide Rudolf. Rudolf is probably the best tour guide in Namibia! Would really recommend this trip to whoever, friends, family or couples. The scenery was amazing, the accommodation was an experience, good food and transportation. Recommend recommend!

Unforgettable holiday
It was our first voyage outside Europe and it was very good. Paolo and Enrica studied a personal tour for us. The organization was perfect. We always stayed in places beautiful, friendly and clean.
In the first part of tour we were very close to nature, we had 6 safari, we saw big five, many other animals and Blyde River Canyon. We slept in the bush in Masodini Lodge where we could see animals from our lodge (we also found efficient and really friendly people) and also in a tree-lodge in 'Nthambo Tree Camp.
In the second part of tour we were in the south: Cape Town, Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope, Seal Island, Boulder's beach with penguins, the winelands and Hermanus (whale watching from the coast...and also from our sea-view room). We had two tours booked from them (Cape of Good Hope and winelands). They were very good.
Very professional and honest tour operator, I suggest them for a South African experience.

Exquisite in every aspect!
Thoroughly organized. Mr Esmail was brilliant in his organization skills. We didn't even have to reach out to him for any information, he'd always keep us in the loop. The guides were superb. From their friendly attitude, to their motivational pep talks that kept us going just when we thought we couldn't go any further. Definitely made the whole Kili experience one to remember. Definitely recommend Safari Big 5 to anyone looking to undergo this expedition. Big up lads! Keep up the terrific work

Amazing experience in Tanzania Safari + Zanzibar relaxing time with Shemeji Safari Tanzania
We had a 5 days safari (4 nights) departing from Arusha and arriving to Moshi (Weru Weru River Lodge). We stood there one night in order to see Kilimanjaro mountain and then we flew to Zanzibar spending 2 days in a resort, and the last day in a tour in Stone Town (the home of Freddie Mercury).
All the organization was arranged by Shemeji, first with Anna and then with Emma. Everything was almost perfect. Emma took care of everything, planning, transfers, flight from Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar, hotels, resorts and camping. Everything worked perfectly; Anna and Emma were 100% very professional. If you follow the pre departure instructions sent by Emma, for sure you will enjoy your trip.
Related with the safari, it was super. The guide, Adam, and the cooker, Isaac, were great. We could see almost all the animals thanks the great experience of Adam, and all the food prepared by Isaac was also great. My wife and I were very thankful to meet and spend 5 days with great people like Adam or Isaac.
Also related with the safari, we decided to go to camping. We were in 3 different camping and I have to say they are ok for the kind of camping we decided to do. So, if you prefer camping instead of lodge you don’t have to worry.
In Zanzibar we went to a resort in the south east of the island. At this season there were no sand in the beach, so if you are planning to go before Jun you should request a resort on the north of the island. That was the only thing that was not perfect.
Also in Zanzibar we had a guided tour in Stone town. It was a very nice tour, and if you want to know more about the Stone town history, I would recommend you doing a guided tour.
Thank you for Shemeji and his team to allow us to have this incredible experience. Anna, Emma, Adam and Isaac, hope to see you again one day… and for sure I will recommend Shemeji to my friends and colleagues.
Very happy with Bright African Safaris
When I contacted a few safari companies to arrange a six-day tour of Tanzania’s northern parks in September 2014, Mr. Msangi Charema at Bright African Safaris stood out for his prompt, friendly, and upbeat response. I chose to book my trip through him, and I am happy I did. From our first email to my last day when Msangi himself drove me to the airport (he also met me upon my arrival), it was a pleasure to work with him. With limited knowledge and research, I proposed a preliminary itinerary which Msangi was happy to fulfill, but he was quick to suggest alternatives he believed would improve my experience. I am so glad that he did, because it was his advice that really made the trip special. He insisted that I see the Serengeti when I at one point considered missing it due to distances and my limited time. The Serengeti turned out to be the crown jewel of the trip, and knowing what I know now, I would not have missed it for anything. This year, the rains - and animals - remained concentrated around my central Serengeti camp, making for an incredible wildlife spectacle. In early negotiations when I suggested a change to smaller, more unique accommodations, Msangi provided a range of interesting options, and the lodges and camps I chose were all wonderful experiences. My guide Masatu was also a joy to be with. He is a happy, gregarious man with many friends in Arusha and the guide community, and is a courteous, friendly, and fun companion. Thank you Masatu and Msangi!

The most amazing experience of our lives!
If there's only one comment that we could say about our experience "Africa is not a place it's a feeling". Kenya is the most beautiful place we have travelled to, the hospitality and kindness from everyone we met when travelling through Kenya was something we'll never forget. We stayed in the Tribe Hotel in Nairobi when we arrived for two nights, staff and the hotel 5* an amazing stay. We then went on our adventure to the Masai Mara arranged through Spirit of Kenya, Charles our guide that met us within meeting him we felt at home immediately,. We stayed in Base Camp, I can't even put into words how amazing this was, the food unbelievable, accommodation, scenery and more importantly how the Masai Mara tribe looked after us was so special. Charles our guide, again I can't put into words how amazing (apologies for using the same word amazing) an experience he gave us seeing the most beautiful animals close up. Transportation with Spirit of Kenya was the safest I have ever felt. We then went to Mombasa and stayed in Tequila Sunrise for nine nights, oh my unbelievable, I would recommend anyone going to Mombasa to stay here, We then went to Sands at Chale Island, again I fell in love and were looked after so well. We have travelled many countries and truly Kenya is always going to be in our hearts, We'll be back Kenya.xx
