The safari was amazing, great guide and cooker!Once in a lifetime.
Everything just worked fine. Our tour operator , Seth, was 24/7 available and reachable. Just suggested directly some things to improve for a clearly communication.

Murchison Falls NP 4 Day Safari
Incredible service from start to finish, take a bow Intek Travel! The value for money here was superb. Our Intek guides Ronnie and Abdulla worked patiently and competently to provide us with memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommended.

Superb!
I have been on many different riding holidays including 900+ km across Morocco and have enjoyed them all (well mostly). This trip was a big decision for me as way over my usual budget but I had been saving up for it for a couple of years as it came highly recommended by friends of mine who had been twice before.
Helen (office) went well beyond the call of duty helping me get ready for the trip answering all manner of questions (Thank you!!), nothing was too much trouble. As for the trip itself our guide Andrew was first class, he was the guide you hoped he might be! you are in safe and knowledgeable hands. He was also great fun and the consummate professional from rising in the morning till saying goodnight. The girls treated us to exceptional food, quite a miracle when you consider where they were working and cooking (camp fire and dutch oven)
Camp life provides you with everything you need but nothing you don't. It feels like such a relief to leave behind all the non essentials. Behind the scenes the team worked tirelessly to give us the best holiday they possibly could. Camp was always set up to look so inviting and homely when riding in after a long day. There were always smiles, snacks and alcohol to greet you!
It was a joy to meet fellow travellers from around the world, such a mix but what fun! the group size of 12 seems to work perfectly.
Of course the reason why you go is for the awesome ever changing landscape, the fascinating wildlife and exhilerating riding.
The horses were well beyond my expectation. They had such big hearts and loads of stamina. I come from a hunting background and also enjoy riding thorobreds at speed! and was not disappointed. This is a real adventure.
This holiday will put a smile on your face and love and peace in your heart, the effects of which will linger long after your flight home. It was also so lovely to make some new friends and will be seeing two of them soon :-)
Yes it is expensive but worth every penny...just do it!

An amazing experience
We did a 4 day Safari with Hekima and it was a really wonderful experience. The team is well organized and treat you more like friends rather than customers. Amaani was our guide and he always made sure we were the first team out of the camps. He was very experienced despite his young age and would often spot Cheetahs and lions despite them being really far away and well camouflaged. The food was great and everything was well taken care of. If you're looking to do a Safari, I'd suggest you stop looking and book with them as they're also the most reasonable in terms of cost that we could find on this website. Highly recommended!

Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge and Safari was amazing; Kanyezi not so much.
The Sabi Sabi staff and accommodations were absolutely amazing and first class. The ranger and tracker made our trip! We saw so much more than we expected - up close and personal! The food, service, and villas were 5 star. However, I would book direct rather than use Kanyezi in the future. Chris and Michael were with us only in Capetown. In Sabi Sabi, they had their "friend" act as our guide. We really didn't need a guide in Sabi Sabi because the lodge takes care of everything. In Victoria Falls, we were all basically on our own with a local guide who we had difficulty understanding. The accommodations in Vic Falls were far less than the 4 Star advertised.
Air travel was arranged very late despite emailing and calling on several occasions. We only received our international flight arrangements/tickets 2 weeks prior to our departure day! Given we were required to wire transfer the full payment months before the actual trip, this made us very nervous. Most all guests in our group had similar issues. Some did not get airline tickets until days before departure.
Lastly, Kanyezi threatened with legal action a guest in our group who posted a question online about their lack of responsiveness. They upset one couple on our trip and told them they should have booked the trip themselves! While generally nice people, they are highly unprofessional at times. This is marketed as a luxury trip of a lifetime ....

Extraordinary Experience With Great Staffing and Organization
I went to Murchison Falls in a family group of 11 people (adults and 3 kids). We were there for 4 days of safari, and we all absolutely loved it. (I will note that Diana at Intek was patient and lovely with our various pre-safari questions. Her communications were clear and she was happy to clarify if/when needed.)
We were in 2 vans, and our drivers/tour guides (Ronnie and Abdullah) took us kindly and thoughtfully every step of the way. They were knowledgeable and approachable, and while we felt very safe, they also took an exciting approach to the experience (eg, driving off the path into the tall grasses of the Savannah on occasion). They were patient and it was great to really trust them as they days went on. They literally made every effort to make sure our itinerary went smoothly as as originally-described. They really went above and beyond.
We stayed at Paraa and Chobe Safari lodges, and those were also great experiences (staff was better at Paraa). Our boat tour guide, Ben, was excellent.
The whole experience exceeded expectation. We saw so many incredible animals and beautiful landscapes -- truly a magical holiday that was once in a lifetime.
