Everything good except...
I knew before coming that this very short package (3 days including transfers) would not satisfy my expectations from a safari tour. But wanted to have an experience to be able to know what to choose, what to bring, etc for the next time that I plan to be at last a week. The trip served the objective.
It's not a joke, it's a safari with big five and lots of wild animals. very friendly staff. Good facilities.
Unfortunately when it comes to information and communication with organizers on the field it is very poor.
The reception doesn't know when the drive starts, from where you will be picked by the driver, even what time you have to leave.
No decent plan of the premises exists so after dark it is only by chance to find your bungalow.

The Perfect Safari with At Close Quarters!
It has always been a dream of mine to visit the Sabi Sands.
I chose to go with the At Close Quarters team as they have a most respectable reputation of being exceptional hosts and getting the best sightings for their guests.
As I am a keen wildlife photographer I knew that joining them on one of their trips would be worth it.
And boy did they deliver!
We were royally treated to breathtaking sights to photograph. 20 Minutes into our first drive we saw a most beautiful leopard female! A perfect start! Before we knew it, we had seen the Big 5 within an hour and I couldn't be more thrilled!
Exquisite cuisines, luxurious and spacious accommodation at the stunning Djuma Lodge, and incredible hosting from the team all formed part of a most memorable 4 nights.
I can highly recommend this trip to every single wildlife photographer, and 7 of my friends have already booked with myself for the next trip in August 2016!!
I can't wait to be back at Djuma and I am counting down the days to do it all over again!

Great personal service and all queries followed up
I booked this tour from Australia and was very happy with the level of service relating to the many queries I had whilst choosing a tour operator. I travelled alone and was wanting to have all details of the booking, including stopover in Johannesburg arranged prior to final selection.
Kruger Park Travel includes phone contact ability (some operators do not) and direct conversation made it very easy to finalise everything. Will definitely recommend to others considering Safari trip

Amazing
Andre was super helpful and delivered exceptional customer service. He was quick to reply to my emails. We visited Madikwe Game Reserve for 3 days and stayed at Motswiri. It was our first safari experience and our (already high) expectations were far exceeded. The lodge is beautiful and the staff are friendly, accommodating, and happy people. I will definitely refer my friends to Andre and Safari With Us.
Elephants galore!
We visited Chobe on a day trip from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, organised through the company Wild Horizons. Chobe national park is about an hour's drive from Victoria Falls town, plus about 15 minutes at the border crossing in each direction.
We had a morning river safari with 2 incredible guides, and saw a huge variety of wildlife, including hundreds of birds, several types of antelope, crocodiles, hippos and a staggering number of elephants. Chobe has one of the biggest populations of elephants in Africa, and as our guide said, once you've seen one group of elephants there are sure to be many more nearby. We certainly were not disappointed!
After lunch we had a 3 hour game drive, again with a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. We were able to get much closer to the elephants and other animals, and even saw 3 lions (2 female and one male) stalking a puku near the river. Our guide also pointed out insects and plants of interest, and went out of his way to try and ensure that everyone was happy with their safari experience.
We would definitely return to Chobe on safari and would recommend it to others. It represents an amazing and authentic safari experience and fantastic value compared to some of the other more popular parks in southern Africa. We would also recommend booking through Wild Horizons as they offered a great all inclusive package with transfers and a brilliant buffet lunch, the staff were helpful and all were respectful of the environment and stressed the importance of conservation measures to protect this incredible place.

It was an amaging experience.
I was extremely impressed with the services being offered by Impala tours. They were very prompt in providing information & guidance. The accommodation and local transport arranged under the package was also of high standard. Most importantly the tour guide, Peter was very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodative to our need. It was really a fantastic experience, the mother nature was marvelous giving us a feeling that we were in a different planet than earth. Special thanks to Peter for making our journey comfortable and memorable.

great safari
We had a really great holiday in Tanzania! Besides the impressive visit to the Masai and the hot springs (lovely place) we went on a two day safari with an overnight stay in a spacious tent. Everything was taken care of. The guides knew a lot and answered all our questons . We saw lots of wildlife and had great weather, even though it was rain season. We traveled with children, also for them it was a wonderful experience! Shemeji Safari thanks!
