Best way to celebrate 50th birthday!
Best trip ever!
Safari has been in my bucket list for many years and Cape Dog Safaris really exceeded my expectations.
Hotels and tent camps, staff, guide and overall service perfect!
Went with whole family to celebrate my 50th birthday during the safari and experience was unbelievable. Even had a birthday party in Central Serengeti. Saw all big five in just 5 days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Park.
Highly recommended!

Excellent
We visited 3 of African Bush Camps locations in Zimbabwe. Was very impressed with the guides, level of service, food and accommodations. Would recommend them if you are travelling to Zim !!

Great Tour, well organized, excellent guides!
We had a wonderful Zambia-Tour, visiting South Luangwa NP, North Luangwa NP, Kafue NP and Lower Zambezi NP. The organization was uncomplicated and reliable. The tour itself was very relaxed with beautifully situated camping grounds and good accommodations. The guides were very qualified with a good eye for the wildlife around.

Karibu Safari up to our expectations!
I have decided to book my safari with Karibu Safari and was very satisfied with the choice. We went for a budget option and we thought the price/quality ratio was very good. Yes, it is true that we ended up being 8 persons and it was a bit crowded in that van, but, afterall we got to be friends with other participants and had great time. The food was descent and the conditions were fine. Robert is very fast to answer and that helps too. Big thanks to Mary who taught me some basic phrases in Swahili!
I would definitely recommend Karibu Safari

Very efficient - they arranged a perfect itinerary for our family safari adventure
Communication was very efficient and the service was excellent. The trip far exceeded our expectations and we consider ourselves to be quite well travelled.
The safari tour was excellent, we saw so many different types of animals and our guide was superb. He really went out of his way to make sure that we got the most out of our trip and was very experienced and competent. We loved tenting in the Serengeti and having lunch at a hippo pool.
Zanzibar was fantastic and we really enjoyed our time there. The resort was of a very high standard and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Fabulous - brilliant service, wonderful guides.
This was a trip of a lifetime. Rebecca at Sunworld arranged it brilliantly, The safari guides (Wilson and Armstrong) were superb, the wildlife (particularly in the Masa Mara) fantastic, and the wonderfully lengthy visits to the elephant orphanages at Nairobi, Ithumba, Voi and Umani Springs were deeply moving and beautiful. We loved Mara Bush Camp, Ithumba Camp and Umani Springs - all beautiful, with terrific food and fabulous accommodation. We can't praise them enough!

Very good for the money but our itinerery had way too much travel built into it,
Exceeded expectations. The game drives were plentiful. We only had 4 (others had 8) in our Land Cruiser so everyone had an view. I've gone before with Abercrombie & Kent, so the bar was high. But I paid half if not less what I paid A&K so I was really worried what Odyssey would cost on service.
So at half the price of Abercrombie & Kent, what did they deliver that Odyssey did not? 1. Better communication between team drivers. (our wireless CB was down for the trip and our driver did not use his cellphone much) when other vehicles found things - like leopards.
2. The driver could be quicker at shutting down the engine. The subtle vibrations blur shots. Seems A&K drivers were more aware of the vehicles and angles of shooting for the photographers.
3. Less time getting to destinations (road time). And once at a destination it seemed (because of #1 above - driver sharing "finds" - they put us on animals quicker.
4. Less Nairobi traffic - this may be unfair because traffic jams are unscheduled and unavoidable. But we had a horrible traffic jam from Airport to hotel with Odyssey that really delayed getting to the hotel. In fact we had zero time to do any of the planned or offerred side trips and went right to sleep, leaving us to feel we missed out on some of the purpose of being in Nairobi. Abercrombie and Kent minimized any time in Nairobi and I have to say now that that is smart.
Where Odyssey excelled - We really lucked out! Our Landcruiser vehicle had only four customers. Others in our group had 6 to 8 so we were the exception, not thhe rule. But where this worked out in our favor, was Odyssey assigns one driver to the group of 4, 6, or 8 and it stays that way - whether you're on a game drive in Ambosei, the Mara, or roads in Nairobi. At A&K our drivers changed throughout the trip - in Kenya we used one set of drivers; in Tanzania another.
Also the Lake Naivashu was an excellent location which A&K did not include.

Wonderful Safari's Experience
I wrote to Savannah Explorers Ltd about 5 months ago telling them I wanted to experience a Safari and they offered me and my girlfriend a lot of trip choices. From the beginning Communication was very good and they were very kind and accurate on explaining me all the different tours.
The Tour we chose was very good we enjoyed every single minute, weather was good also and help us to have such a great experience. Our guide (Babuu) was great, he spoke Italian very well and we appreciated a lot his guide skills and knowledge.So, we don't know when but we are pretty sure about who call for a Safari Experience over there . Thanks Savannah Explorers !
