Amazing Trip!
We booked the first part of our S. Africa trip through Safari Occasions and had an amazing time!! I worked closely with Leon prior to the trip, and was nervous to use a newer company without many reviews. However, Leon was extremely professional the entire time, and I'm very glad I was not scared off. He made our trip a wonderful experience. During the booking process, he really catered our trip to our family. We were travelling with our little one (4 yrs) and he helped us select a very family-friendly lodge that allowed my son to go on all of the game drives. He noticed during the booking that it was going to be my husband's birthday (without me saying anything) and recommended a special activity that day to celebrate. And he worked with me to find a local tour and then worked with the vendor to make modifications after I told him what I was looking for. Once we arrived, Leon's entire family drove quite a ways to meet and greet us at the airport, making the arrival process very easy and special. The lodge he recommended (Kololo) was fantastic. We all enjoyed the game drives and only wish we could have stayed longer. We frequently saw wildebeests and warthogs from our lodge steps, and Kololo backs right up to Welgevodgen Park and is separated by a see-through fence, so you have a clear view of the wildlife. The restaurant was great (I recommend trying the wildebeest!) and we especially enjoyed the breakfast each morning. The lodge was spacious and just what I had hoped for. There was a small change in our plans (the hotel did not show one of the activities that we were supposed to be scheduled for), and although we were disappointed at the time, Leon worked with the hotel to find a suitable alternate. Overall, a very nice experience and I would recommend Safari Occasions and Leon to anyone looking to have a low-stress, worry-free vacation.

Beautiful and special experience that everyone has to try once.
The wildlife at Kruger Nationalpark was breathtaking. For one like me who had never done safari before and never been to the african continent before everything was exceeding my expectations. Very green land and a lot of wildlife. Beautiful birds, great vibe and the rangers were well educated, teaching you about animals you saw and their habits. Accomodation was an experience itself, sleeping in a treehouse in the middle of a privately oned piece of the nationalpark and going to sleep with the sound of hyenas somewhere far...
Definitely would recommend doing a safari tour.

A life changing experience
This adventure went beyond any of my expectations. Definitiely a lifetime highlight for me and my family, filled with memories that we will cherish for years to come. Everything was taken care of, handled with excellence, and treated with a “touch of class.” I am also glad that we took the coaching on selecting the land cruiser vs the mini-van, thanks Simon. Accommodations, food, and service were wonderful. Can’t wait for the next one.

5 Day Safari
From the first time I contacted Michael Ndallo from Northern Circuit Adventures to then end of the safari, all aspects of the trip were catered for perfectly, Micheal was very professional and went the extra mile to ensure all details of the safari were as you expected.
The 4 night/5 day safari itself was spectacular, and one of the key reasons for this was our multi-talented driver/guide/mechanic and all round good guy James, he was so knowledgeable about all the animals, insects, trees, rivers, geography - it was very impressive, and a very nice man on top of all this.
I would certainly recommend Northern Circuit Adventures for you safari

AMAZING
I had a lot of fun in Tanzania I was able to see a lot of animals and beautiful scenery. My tour guide Sayari Tano was especially the best. The food was good, and our guides were very friendly. Frank and Gabriel, Thank you for an amazing experience! I will never forget it!

My Africa dream
We have an "Africa dream" and Afroriginal made it come true. Fay is a very great driver and guide and did his best to take us to the migration. He know so much about the animals and is very good at spotting them. Our cook, also gave us wonderful meals and very large portions. I would recommended Afroriginal for sure.

It was an excellent combination of beauty and adventure!
Everything was AMAZING! However I was brand new to the outdoor camping experience and was not really prepared. Having to pitch a tent, sleep outdoors knowing wild animals were surrounding me, disgusting outdoor bathrooms, on top of the torrential rain led to some very sleepless/uncomfortable nights for me. If I could afford to stay at a lodge then that would have made for a more comfortable and less scared Tanzanian experience. The breakfast was hit or miss. It was either shortbread biscuits with coffee or tea, which I do not drink (nor was it fulfilling) or delicious crepes (pancakes) with eggs and fruit, which I much preferred. The picnic lunch was not the best, but it was included with my package so I did not have to pay extra for food. The wildlife, scenery, and weather was breathtakingly GORGEOUS! It was so surreal the scenic beauty of the land and being able to see all the animals in their natural habitat. Unfortunately I was with a dull group that lacked personality, meaning they did not engage much in conversations when I tried to carry on one. They unfortunately did not share my same enthusiasm, which was disappointing because I was so excited and they were so...QUIET and reserved (Crickets, crickets). When we ate dinner they kept looking at the other tables, who were laughing and having fun, and I kept thinking, "I wish I was with that group!" Lol. However my guide was GREAT! He let me sit in the front with him and was very engaging and knowledgeable. I loved the transportation being in the safari jeeps and riding along the many different terrains! Overall my Tanzanian experience was an INCREDIBLE adventure that I would love to do again! (Just not in a tent)
