Experience of a Lifetime!
We were so happy with our stay at Impodimo Game Lodge. The food, accomodations and our guide were remarkable and we would totally recommend this place to friends and family! We miss our scenic views of the elephants at the watering hole from our balcony and fresh coffee :) Our guide Ruin ( I hope I spelled his name right) was a SUPERB driver and very knowledgeable about the wildlife.
A special thanks to Justin Perumal at PaperJet Bookings who recommended this place and answered all of my questions swiftly!

Plentiful wildlife, stunning scenery but expensive destination.
I was surprised with the abundance of wildlife in Tanzania. I’ve been to Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti NP. The scenery is amazing. The endless plains of Serengeti are nothing but unforgettable. I went in december and it was really hot, but since I’m used to hot weather It was totally bearable for me. The drawback in my opinion is that you pay a lot of money for simple and sometimes really bad accommodation and the lunch my tour operator gave me every day was really terrible. In the last day I couldn’t eat anymore. My guide was knowledgeable but was rather shy and didn’t speak much unless provoked. Also he never sat to eat with the group what seemed to me as an antisocial behavior. So for the price paid I think The service could’ve been far much better.

A incredible value for money for a once in a life-time experience.
The entire Wild Planet Safari experience was faultless! We were incredibly well looked after by the guides, who were both knowledgable, friendly and so hard working. They were happy to fit around whatever we wanted to do while still ensuring that we saw as much wild life as possible. Nothing was too much trouble! Every meal was delicious and all the campsites perfect for what we needed. After the four nights we were dropped off at the door of our next stop. We really enjoyed every minute and would definitely recommend this package to anybody looking for great value for money and a once in a life-time experience. Thank you!

Amazing viewing of iconic wildlife up close; arranged one day tour on short notice
I was in Dar Es Saalam on business, and had one day for a safari. Gecko Adventures was able to accommodate me on short notice with a private one day tour at a reasonable price. I was able to see a large amount of wildlife at Mikumi National Park. My guide was familiar with the park, animal behaviors, and provided many entertaining and educational anecdotes. The ability to get close look at so many large iconic animals was amazing.

Review about Kenya by Francisco
Kenya is a beautiful country with spectacular landscapes and interesting cities. The only downside, I'd say is the security situation, which is not great.

Unforgettable Experience!
Our tour with Afroriginal was amazing! We felt like we were in Jurassic Park, surrounded by giant animals at all times. It is incredible how much life there is around you. We did a 4 day tour and each day brought a unique and amazing experience. Some of the highlights were:
- Lioness and her 5 one-month old cubs dining on a wildebeest 5 meters away!
- A cheetah eating an impala in the darkness (7pm) 3 meters away
- A bull elephant taking a close inspection of our vehicle with its trunk prior to the entire elephant pack following from behind
- Leopard lounging in a tree
- A beautiful male lion posing on a stoney outcropping
- Black rhino chilling in the tall grass
While luck certainly played apart in our sightings, our driver and guide, Jeremiah, really put in the extra effort to find us the best sightings and never cut the trip short. Some examples of Jeremiah going above and beyond:
1: Around 7pm, Jeremiah overheard that some other groups had seen a cheetah in a certain area. Despite the darkness, Jeremiah went in search of the cheetah instead of calling it a day and we were rewarded with a private viewing of a cheetah feasting in our car's headlights
2: Jeremiah had come upon a lioness and cubs leaving a wildebeest carcass and correctly assumed that they will drink water and return to their meal. We followed the lion family to the water and back when every other driver had given up on them returning. We again got some 20-minute private viewing of the lioness and her cubs eating and playing
Afroriginal also got the basics right. We really weren't expecting much from the food and were shocked by how delicious it was, not to mention really healthy. The portions were also massive so you don't leave the table hungry. As far as the tent, what can I say, it's a tent. It's clean with no holes and the sleeping bags and foam mattresses did there jobs (though bring some warm clothes for the night on crater - it gets cold even in the sleeping bag!).
Overall, it was an awesome trip. We had an incredible time and highly recommend Afroriginal Tours.
