VW fun!
I took KNT on a safari to Lake Mburo with a few friends.. was a fantastic and memorable trip. The Kombi's are really fun and unique to travel in. The inside was super comfy and the fab sound system meant we could plug in our ipods and listen to whatever we chose. Lounging on the top of the Kombi, drinks in hand, has been by far, my favorite way to go on a game drive. The novelty of the Kombi is icing on the cake--and makes for some great photos too! Rachel and Steven were knowledgeable, friendly and professional in our interactions with them. Thanks KNT!

Absolutely Amazing!
Image Travel went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable- they were flexible with our schedules, concerned about our well being and very accommodating! The hotel was incredibly relaxing, and the safari far surpassed our expectations! The only thing I would change is to request a 4 wheel drive vehicle for the drive to the Masai Mara as the roads are incredibly slippery in the rainy season. Besides that, it was perfect!

Unforgettable trip with Alpha Adventures 6-Day Gorillas And Lions
Before we started our mission to Uganda we contacted Alpha Adventures to organize us a trip before reporting to our work station and On 8th of June 2013 we had a very good accommodation at Cassia lodge,then on 9th June 2013 we took a trip fully organized and managed by Alpha Adventures. Our trip departed from Kampala through the Equator line and with a lot of sightseeing in the crater region – to Queen Elizabeth National Park and we were accommodated at Mweya Safari Lodge. Even so it was supposed to be the rainy season, we experienced only two times a thunderstorm – and what an experience this was, too. The temperature was always perfect, the plants and trees were in blossom, the grass high. We spotted a number of beautiful birds – thank you, Albert -, and all kinds of mammals, including lions, rhinos, buffaloes, elephants, and so many other creatures great and small. In addition, the lodges Albert selected for us were all real beauties and at most of them we were just the three of us, so that we could enjoy the sounds of the night, too.
Albert , our guide and also highly specialized in birdwatching, really took care of everything up to the smallest detail: we were pampered. Right from the first email contacts we got a good feeling of Alpha Adventures and the people working there.
Whenever you plan to visit Uganda, we can highly recommend the services of Alpha Adventures and the admirable knowledge on nature and wildlife which our friend Albert has. We traveled already quite a lot before, but never had we felt as good and learned so much about fauna and flora as we did with Albert and Alpha Adventures.

Fantastic 'Classic Namibia' experience - impossible to fault
A huge thank you to our guide Nick and Nature Travel Namibia for making our trip an unforgettable adventure. From the moment we stepped off the plane to the moment we said goodbye, we loved every second. In such a beautiful country, we couldn't have asked for a better conceived itinerary - our only wish is that we could have stayed longer! Nick was the perfect host with immaculate attention to detail, exceptional knowledge of wildlife and a fantastic sense of humour. From the beautiful and ever changing scenery to hunting around for snakes and lizards with the incredible Tommy on the 'Living Desert' experience, there was always something new to enjoy. We still can't believe how many different and wonderful animals and birds we saw and each new sighting was special, no matter how far - or close! - they were. On our flight home we were already planning our trip back. We couldn't recommend Nature Travel Namibia highly enough. Totally spectacular. Go!

Review about Okavango Delta by Jennifer Baird
Simply beautiful. The mokoro ride is one of the most zen things I've ever done. Anyone that has ever appreciated a bird MUST go to the Okavango. Out of 2 weeks of beautiful sunsets, the ones in the delta were the best.

Review about Moremi Game Reserve by Jennifer Baird
Moremi had the most unique wildlife experiences for me - might have just been luck - but we saw honey badgers, wild dogs and wattled cranes - 3 species I have not seen elsewhere in Africa.

Review about Chobe National Park by Jennifer Baird
I was there at the end of dry season so the real action is at the water.

A Night on the Moon
It’s like being on the moon. The horizon is perfectly flat and you can’t see where it ends. I was there at the end of dry season so there was a delicate crust where the mud had dehydrated, lifted up all pitted and mottled, curling in spots like a decaying leaf. When you walk on this crust it poofs around your feet in little clouds as it turns into incredibly fine dust that gets into every crevice. At first – the only sounds are those you make – so quiet you can hear yourself breathing. Every step crunches so loudly I found myself wanting to tip toe. Despite the fact that there are no plants or animals to be seen, after about 20 minutes you hear a loud drone – you think maybe an ultralight is heading your way – and then you realize the mosquitos have found you! How? Where did they come from? No idea but since you are the only thing out there to feast on – you had better hope you have good bug spray! Because there is nothing on the horizon, sunset and sunrise seem to last much longer and turn the whole world pink. It feels like you’ve been dropped into a sci-fi movie. I found myself whispering – not wanting to disturb the surreal quality of the experience.

Wonderful Experience!
We enjoyed our first safari experience with the Bestday Sarafis.
The guide, God, was very good experienced and knowledgeable. Without him, our trip might not be such good.
We went to Lake Manyara, NgoroNgoro and Serengeti.
We could see almost everything we had wanted to see; giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, cheetahs, leopards, lions, hipos, rhino, zebras, wildbeests, and so on. We could even see wildbeest migration, just born gazelle, and female lions hunting baby buffalo, which were not easily seen.
Comparing to other tour companies, the price was reasonable. I requested quotations to more than 15 tour companies, the Bestday Safaris was the cheapest and flexible.
Everything was so wonderful and if I have a chance to go there again, I definitely will go with the Bestday Safaris again.

Great experience
Even though we kept changing dates and itinerary, they worked with us until we figured out all the details. Everything went very smooth and we are very happy. The itinerary we did was 4 days of safari's and 4 days on Zanzibar. It was a perfect plan and a great vacation. Guides were professional and courteous, saw all the possible animals, and took thousands of photos. Thank you!
