Exploring Amazing Namibia in 2016
A booked vacation to Namibia for my wife and I was almost scuppered when the tour agency cancelled the tour with 2 weeks to go. A quick enquiry to SafariBookings got Sandi Bird of Giltedge Africa (formerly Southern Africa Travel) in touch with us and in no time at all she put together an itinerary for us that showcased the best of amazing Namibia.
The remote and intimate Wilderness Safari lodges and camps of Little Kulala, Damaraland Camp and Desert Rhino Camp were simply fabulous. The service and warmth of the staff made us feel so welcome. The patience and knowledge of our guides was simply fantastic.
All our many transfers by Wilderness Air and all our lodge bookings were confirmed quickly and without hassle by Sandi and we enjoyed an amazing vacation in beautiful Namibia. From our arrival at Windhoek to our last day in Namibia everything went well without a hitch.
Despite never having any prior experience with Giltedge we felt we could trust Sandi and she came through with the vacation of a lifetime for us. We're looking forward to working with Sandi and Giltedge Africa again for our next African safari!
Review about Serengeti National Park by Nigel Nudds Photography
Absolutely outstanding in every way (except the one heavy rain shower!)

We only had a morning here so can't elaborate too much but the bird life was outstanding here
Great Introduction to Wildlife in Tanzania
Tarangire was our first Safari of the week and was a great introduction of things to come. Visting at the end of May and just after the wet season the grass was long and lush so a little difficult to see the smaller animals. We almost immediately came across a family of baboons who were very active and climbing up and down "their" tree. Later we saw our first elephants but from a distance which was still great to see. Further on we met a lone elephant who got very close to our vehicle but was not aggressive in any way. We didn't see any big cats on this day visit but plenty of bird life to include superb starlins, hornbill, hammerkopf and love birds. Also plentiful were the majestic giraffe. Views from the small picnic site were beautiful overlooking the river, where we later saw a family of elephants drinking
Review about Tanzania by Nigel Nudds Photography
For a first safari and a brilliant driver/guide, Tanzania was perfect to see the Big Five and most other animals

Best Safari experience I have had
I was in a safari in the Amazonas and India before but in Uganda I had the chance to see much more wonderful species of fauna , the organization and accommodation was superior and cheaper .

What a trip
Reading through the reviews about Sun Safaris, it is surprising - not to say suspect - to see all these enthusiastic reviews. But I can confirm, they are well deserved, and I want to add another one. Two years ago we already had a trip organized by Sun Safaris and this year, once again, the result is beyond our expectations. Throughout the preparation of our trip and the many discussions we had, Michelle has always been attentive and very quick to answer our questions and requests. We particularly appreciated when, a few days before our departure, Michelle contacted us by phone to explain that a poaching problem had occurred in the area of one of our selected lodges. She suggested to modify our original plans and within a few hours everything was done. The trip went smoothly and our daughters lived a true dream. We already know that we will plan our next trip with Sun Safaris.

A wonderful time in SA and Botswana
Megan arranged a wonderful tour of South Africa and Botswana for us. The hotels and safari lodges were first class. We especially liked the Chobe Game Lodge and the Fairlawn Boutique Hotel. The safaris were unforgettable. We viewed lots of lion action from the Chobe Game Lodge and lots of hippos from the Xugana Island Lodge. We also had a great time taking the Rovos Rail from Cape Town to Pretoria. It was an unforgettable experience.

Fantastic!!
We went on the 6 day southern circuit safari with Kiliholidays and we had a fantastic experience from start to finish. We have never booked a trip direct with the tour operator like this before, and Mack, who did the booking for us was really helpful and informative, he answered any questions we had and made booking the holiday really easy and stress-free!
Our guide was called Mike and he was Amazing!! So helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble, he knew loads about the wildlife and the culture and traditions of Tanzania. He helped to make our holiday even more special.
We would definitely recommend Kiliholidays (and Mike as a guide) if you are thinking of booking a safari.
A Massive thank you to Mack, Mike and all the staff who made our safari a trip we will never forget!!
