Awesome world
First of all, I’d like to appreciate to David who is our driver. Thanks to him, we enjoyed our safe trip. And staff and leader of this company is also nice guys:)
I traveled at Masai Mara National Reserve, lake Nakuru and Amboseli National park. I’ve never seen such a awesome world ever. A lot of nature, animals!!
We could have nice experience there. Thank you all:)

Superb "à la carte" trip
Hello,
I went alone to north East Tanzania in November 2017. I met a group of amazing US tourists there, I traveled with them to Tarangire national park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
Amazing trip, with amazing people in an amazing region. I can only recommend it, just be careful of the tips you need to give on a daily basis to locals (driver, guide, cook... around $10/person/day), which can increase your budget travel quite significantly.
Before traveling, don't hesitate to ask for some pictures to the places where you will sleep, huge differences between public camp, private camp and lodges in terms of comfort.

Amazing wildlife but a very disorganized tour.
I visited Masai Mara during the great migration and it was an amazing experience. I have been to a lot of national parks in Africa including Kruger and the Serengeti and Masai Mara was the best experience. Although I may be overly influenced by the fact that this is the only time I have been able to see a leapord up close. The down side was our tour operator, Karibu Tours. They seemed to be completely disorganised and modified the tour to suit their needs over their clients. In addition our guide/driver was very poor at keeping us informed and answering our questions. The other sites we visited were not as interesting especially Lake Nakuru which is no longer visited by the millions of flamingoes it is famous for as the water level has risen and they have relocated to another lake where it is easier to feed.

Compare Kruger Park with Sabi Sand (Private game reserve) I would only go private in future.
The game reserves were excellent and showcase Africa's unique wildlife. Spent 2 days in Kruger and 2 days in Sabi Sand. There was more game in Kruger but a greater variety in Sabi Sand. I would only go to a private game reserve in future. Accommodation and food were far better in the private reserve as well. Weather was mixed - cold at first but much hotter later. We also visited Johannesburg and O.R. Tambo airport has to be the worst international airport in the world. There are no signs anywhere to assist you in checking in and we had to go to the domestic terminal to check in for an international flight to Zimbabwe. Compare this with King Shaka in Durban where for every flight, the check-in desk is shown on a very large information board. We also visited Cape Town. Trying to go up Table Mountain as individuals is almost impossible. There was a queue which took 3 hours to get onto the cable car and another queue that took another 3 hours just to buy a ticket. We gave up eventually. Same issue with trying to go to Robben Island. Unless you are prepared to pay an exorbitant amount for a private tour, you can't get on a boat. Again, we had to give up. The V&A Waterfront is well advertised but in the end is only a shopping centre with some restaurants - quite disappointing. For an Australian, the prices in South Africa seem very cheap and it's a good place to go for a holiday once. Not enough different things to do to keep returning though but I would recommend it to anyone who has never been.

It is a nice safaris Ltd and had everything well arranged.
All the staffs are very nice, including their boss, very warm-hearted. They even helped me to find my lost. Everything is well arranged in the 11-day tour. With their efforts, we did have a happy journey.

Safari went beyond expectations in number of animals and expansive areas.
I particularly enjoyed the Rift Valley and certainly visiting the Massi tribe.

Safari in Rhino Ridge
Accommodations at Rhino Ridge were excellent. Room was beautiful, food was delicious, and staff very friendly and helpful. Weather in October was very pleasant. Expected to see a few more animals; however, I enjoyed seeing what we did. Had a walking excursion which was really fun.
