Review about South Africa by HHM
Excellent natural parks, great landscape, good infrastructure to support tourism, relatively well connected, reasonable prices and wide range of options for hotels and restaurants.

Perfect days
Our guide, Anthony came to get us at our hotel. As soon as we met him, the holidays began....He's very nice, he laughs all the time. We were lucky enough to be only 4 with him, and we felt privileged. He's a real bushman, with great knowledge about the bush and South Africa, always available, but most af all, he's a great person. At the end, we considered him as a friend and were very sad to leave him.
About the safari, the landscapes are amazing, we could see very animals, even leopards, lions, elephants...
Two weaknesses:
- The visit of the elephant sanctuary after 3 days in the Kruger is not a good thing. Elephants are locked like in a zoo and we didn't enjoy it at all.
- The drive night was not with our guide Anthony, but with guides from the Kruger Park. We had to take a bus for 10 persons, and felt like tourists. It was too crowded. It was not so interesting as it's too dark and you can't see animals.
Thanks to Wildlife Safaris for their availability, flexibility and enthousiasm!

One of the best guides I worked with, ever
Phillip was great from every point of view: organization, site choice, problem solving and group entertaining and communication. A great trip companion with a strong background and a deep passion about nature. I strongly advise you to call them for a trip!

VW fun!
I took KNT on a safari to Lake Mburo with a few friends.. was a fantastic and memorable trip. The Kombi's are really fun and unique to travel in. The inside was super comfy and the fab sound system meant we could plug in our ipods and listen to whatever we chose. Lounging on the top of the Kombi, drinks in hand, has been by far, my favorite way to go on a game drive. The novelty of the Kombi is icing on the cake--and makes for some great photos too! Rachel and Steven were knowledgeable, friendly and professional in our interactions with them. Thanks KNT!

Absolutely Amazing!
Image Travel went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable- they were flexible with our schedules, concerned about our well being and very accommodating! The hotel was incredibly relaxing, and the safari far surpassed our expectations! The only thing I would change is to request a 4 wheel drive vehicle for the drive to the Masai Mara as the roads are incredibly slippery in the rainy season. Besides that, it was perfect!

South Lwange was amazing in May, Kafue had good wildlife sightings, but far fewer
I traveled via Cross Country Safaris to Zambia in May 2017. I visited 3 camps in Kafue and South Lwange. Cross Country chose beautiful camps in Chichele Lodge and Flatdogs Camp. Amazing wildlife sightings and great service and comfort at these two camps. I've been on about 6-7 wildlife safaris, and this ranked first or 2nd best. I wish Cross Country had told me more about Kafue, despite the fact that I read it had less wildlife. We did see typically one good game sighting each drive, but far less density of sightings than at South Lwange. If I went back to Kafue, it would be in September. Tseste flies were quite noticeable in Kafue. I found camp staff a little less well trained at Kafue than at South Lwange, and thought it was wierd that they have live shooting practice for rangers inside the park, rather than in the Game Management Area.

Review about South Africa by RJK 671
It's hard to believe Madikwe was once farmland. It seems like the animals have always been there. They've clearly adapted and it is truly a wild place that is so expansive. It would take a lifetime to experience it all.

Wonderful Experience!
We enjoyed our first safari experience with the Bestday Sarafis.
The guide, God, was very good experienced and knowledgeable. Without him, our trip might not be such good.
We went to Lake Manyara, NgoroNgoro and Serengeti.
We could see almost everything we had wanted to see; giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, cheetahs, leopards, lions, hipos, rhino, zebras, wildbeests, and so on. We could even see wildbeest migration, just born gazelle, and female lions hunting baby buffalo, which were not easily seen.
Comparing to other tour companies, the price was reasonable. I requested quotations to more than 15 tour companies, the Bestday Safaris was the cheapest and flexible.
Everything was so wonderful and if I have a chance to go there again, I definitely will go with the Bestday Safaris again.
