Review about South Africa by Tony
I've given almost the same rating as for the Kruger park as we didn't see anything of the rest of South Africa other than the Sabie Sands and the Klasserie reserves.

Went to Kenya with Java
I recently booked a trip to Kenya with Java. I was blown away at the start with the attention to detail in the planning. They asked tons of questions about myself and my partner and built what turned out to be a superb itinerary around it. We would not have changed a thing all the way through. The the three camps we stayed at were quiet and the level of service couldn't have been higher. The guides were amazing and we saw so many animals. Java managed everything from afar and checked in with us along the way too always make sure we were happy and if we needed anything. The beach in Kenya was great and a great way to unwind after a long trip. All in all a great trip and I would highly recommend Java Safaris to anyone looking at Africa for a holiday.

Wonderful wilderness/wildlife experience in Chobe National Park.
The wildlife experience was wonderful. The scenery is rugged, but natural and interesting, not spectacular. The weather was good with a light rain each morning before sunrise. The camping accommodations were much too primitive for 69 year olds and described to us poorly. We were expecting ''glamping". Our guide, Issac,was charming, informative and extreemly well informed about the animals in the park. I was very impresssed with the ecology and conservation practices of the guides in the park. I was a little surprised when we watched ,disapprovingly as a guide roared his truck off road and up to a mating lion pair, to find there is no process in place to reprimand the display of bad judgement. The food was great and the overall experience wonderful. I would recommend this safari to others.

It was so wonderful experience for us to enjoy wild life in South africa.
Everything was great for Safari.com such as suggestions, transportation, accomodation and food, etc.
We will surely recommend travellers planning to go to safari in South Africa.

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.

Amazing South Africa
The Staff at the various hotels were extremely courteous and very professional - always smiling and there was never a request that was turned away. The food was great and the weather at that time of the year was kind to us. The natural beauty of the land complemented by the abundant wildlife, both on land and on the Chobe River, was amazing. Our guides always had a very good sense of humour and there was never ever a dull moment from the early morning safaris to the late night sundowners amongst the natural beauty of the glorious sunsets.

Beautiful trip to Chobe and Okavango Delta
The Chobe Safari Lodge we would not book again, because it was too big for us, but it was not bad.The food was not as we were used to from other lodges before (in Namibia) and unfortunately, the dinner buffet colsed at 08:30 pm. From the game drives we came back around 6:30 pm. To come still on time for dinner, after a shower etc., was then almost stressful.
The organization of the game drives and boat trips was well organized and we liked it.
The Oddballs Camp we liked very much. It is a very simple camp, but the care was great, the food was good and we had everything we needed.
The tour for camping we also would not book any more. Too many efforts with tent building dismantle, cook yourself etc. The camp itself offers the same natural experiences. Therefore, it is not necessary to accept this simplicity in order to achieve even more natural experiences.
All in all it was a very great experience and everything worked out wonderfully with Zambezi Safari and Travel Company. The communication with Liz was uniquely good. Thanks to the whole Team.
