Hassle Free, great dining and close encounters with many wild animals!!!
Landed in one of the cold months, needed good wind barrier - warm garments early morning and night game drives - freezing in the morning. (The Guides etc had various blankets too aboard their vehicles..)! Left the vehicles to go on "foot" at a couple of places which definitely was a great experience .., got quite close to two Leopards on one occasion due to being quiet and down wind.. Simply fantastic to be there and see them approx 30 meters from where we stood! Saw many other animals too but the Leopards really will stay with me!!!
The food we had was great, dined on a different variety of meat each night, always a good selection of sides and puddings and at the places we stayed the service was second to none.
All our transiting to fro went without a hitch and well on time thanks to Robert...

2 days safari in Tanzania
It Started in Africa made me spend a beautiful safari in Tanzania. They just have been honest, flexible and professional, three features that made my time with them unforgettable. They are really dedicating to the customer and for me it has been impressive the starting communication by mail where everything has been with full transparency and open to my desires. They really know how to treat travelers.

Review about South Africa by Lee-Ann Conway
There are so many game reserves to visit with such a wide variety of game viewing and birding. We camp mostly so I can't comment of other accommodation or food.

Flexible and good planning, very satisfied
The 7 of us went from Zanzibar, but due to the flight company's arrangements we only arrived at Arusha at 3pm on our first day. But thanks to the director, Mike, experienced planning we were still able to see the most with our limited time. We went for a 4 day safari; it was the end of the wet season and the weather of our last two days were not very nice, but overall we were satisfied with what we were able to see (4 out of the 5 'Big Five', the leopard is always hard to see), and we even saw cheetahs on our very first safari day at Tarangire. Our driver and guide, Alias, is very knowledgeable in wildlife and had a very good eyesight (he was able to spot dung beetles rolling while driving 40 km/h!). This was our first safari and we had such a great time. I am sure we will go for more safaris in the future, but this very first time has certainly set the bar high.

Review about Tanzania by Jan Hendriks
Tanzania has much wildlife in parks which are not so crowded visited. For that you need a good gide to bing you near the animals. We had an excellent guide. The known parks are to expensive and there are to many tourist being there. In Mikumi it is cheaper and there are a few tourists and you can see all the game (except the rinoceros.
Review about South Africa by annabelle500
Lots of animals & birds to sight in their natural habitat. The bush has a certain unique beauty about it but the drought had dried up a lot of creek beds & vegetation. It's exciting to witness wild animals in the wild - almost surreal at times.

Review about Zimbabwe by deasibeau
Although we saw quite a lot of wildlife, we did hope to see more but it seemed pretty quiet at the time we visited.

Review about Kenya by Steve
Kenya has some of the greatest bird diversity in Africa, and it was a wild place to visit. In some respects, bird and mammal diversity is restricted to the large parks, or at least the regularly birded destinations. We tried to visit places off the beaten path, but we had a hard time stopping on the side of the road without attracting a scene. The human population is blosoming, and the countryside and many parks are suffering from people trying to support their families. If you stick to your itinerary with a tour group, you'll be exposed to some of the best parks Kenya has to offer.
