South Africa becomes an itch which keeps needing to be scratched. A vast and wonderful place.
I stayed in private concessions in the Kruger and had wonderful game viewing, great food and friendly staff. I could not fault our guides who were knowledgeable and had a warm manner and great sense of humour. I stayed at Hoyo Hoyo and Imbali camps. I can easily recommend them to anyone considering a safari. At the end of my stay I moved to Tydon tented camp. it was a long drive but gave me the chance to view Sabi Sands. The camp and staff were brilliant but the accommodation was much more basic. This was my own choice to keep the cost of the trip down. I had a great time at this camp and got on with our guides extremely well and saw some wonderful things in the park. My only regret is that the camp is outside the park which does not allow me to sit and watch animals at a waterhole. The camp allows drives into both Sabi Sands and The Kruger but I did not enjoy the trips into The Kruger as it was limited to staying on the public roads. having experienced The Kruger in private concessions this proved rather limiting to me. The camp accommodated me well by allowing me to do the rest of my drives and a walk in Sabi Sands which was truly brilliant with great sighting of lion, leopard and all the other wonderful wildlife of Africa especially nice to see so many white Rhino. I have to say that everything went extremely well with my trip and I would not hesitate to recommend anyone wanting to do a safari to simply get on and do it. It is an active holiday and not restful but the sights are superb. I must also mention African Welcome Safaris who organised my trip as all aspects of their organisation and advice were spot on.

Amazing honeymoon !
We had the most amazing trip in Tanzania: we simply loved spending hours admiring the wildlife. Tanzania also has a great variety of sceneries: lake Natron, Serengeti or Zanzibar ! The pop-up jeep is our new favorite mean of travelling :)
We stayed in medium budget lodges but were always satisfied with the level of service & quality, and the food.
We know we had such a good experience also because we had a great guide passionate about the wildlife but also very serious and reliable and with a good sense of humor.
Overall, an adventure we will remember forever !

Wildly Awesome
This is my first ever visit to Kenya (Eastern Africa). Kenya is best destination for holidays due to the reason that it has beautiful climate, best wild life safaris, amazing landscape, breath taking lakes and birds centuries. Above all people are very friendly and disciplined. All type of food is easily available even Halal Food.

The Lion King Live
The Safari with Soul of Tanzania was a unique experience we will never forget. The wildlife was amazing. The tented camps in the Serengeti NP were unbelievable, like moviesets. Our guide Amani did a great job. Always showed us everything we asked for. Soul of Tanzania offers highclass private safaris. The guides take totally care of the customers, you always get warm lunch in the middle of the Serengeti and they try to find lonely roads for your private safari feelings without the other tourists.

It has very beautiful wild national reserves.
There is a wide variety of wild lifes there to see, but if you can see them depends on your luck. Budget accommodation could be really basic, and please get prepared physically and emotionally. Hotel is pretty much the same as anywhere else. Food is really good, if you like spices or Indian inspired cuisine. Western food can always be found in hotels or lodges. Road to Maasai Mara is bad, bumpy and dusty, and to Amboseli is a disaster. In general I had a really good experience here.

A fantastic family vacation in a beautiful country.
We chose a great time to visit Kenya and the Masai Mara Reserve. The annual migration was in progress and thousands of animals to see. The weather was beautiful! Perfect for game drives at all hours. Our guide and driver was very knowledgeable of the animals and the parks we visited. He made sure we got the best locations for photo opportunities. We chose to experience staying in a guest camp and were very satisfied with the accommodations. We really enjoyed the whole experience as a family even more that we expected.

Review about Botswana by Wolfgang Stark
Botswana is one of the most incredible places to visit, amazing safari parks and a general high standard of service and accommodation. My favourite place out of the 4 countries I visited (South Africa/Namibia/Zimbabwe).
A must destination for anyone interested in a safari destination
When the first question your guide asks is 'what would you like for sundowner drinks?' and the second is 'what do you want to see?' - you know that the service level will be high. Kwara and Lebala luxury camps delivered on exceptional service and fantastic food with a smile. 5 days of action packed morning and afternoon safaris with lots of wildlife. Light planes between camps meant little downtime. Botswana was the first of our 3 safari destinations and it ranks 1 for all of the above. I can only highly recommend as a holiday destination.

A beautiful connection between people, wildlife and nature. Botswana is a well protected jewel!
The travel was well organized and all transitions went smooth and on time. The wildlife is stunning so is the nature. The guides were all extremely knowledgeable. Highlight was the Chobe National Park, during dry season a large variety of animals come together. We loved the boat tour. After that we flew into the Okavango Delta, very different experience the vegetation is different and the jeeps are allowed to leave the tracks and go deep into the bush to trace down cats. We loved it.My personal highlight was the walking Safari as it's the missing piece between game viewing and the story on nature and it's symbiosis. The stories were jaw dropping and teach you respect and admiration for Mother Nature and it's natural balance.
