Review about Zimbabwe by Owen
Zimbabwe has outstanding wildlife. The scenery is varied,and just lovely. The guides are the best trained in Africa. It also offers an outstanding bush vibe.

Review about Namibia by Eduardo Canut
Is a country full of contrasts and ideal to make your own self drive dream trip. Best place on earth to see black rhinos (Okaukuejo waterhole, the best waterhole on earth). Other places like Aus (wild horses) or Erindi private game reserve are very very recomendable.
Review about Zambia by Tris Enticknap
I can only base this on our experience in South Luangwa, but from what we heard from other guests, the other parks in Zambia are extremely good too.

made me glad i was there to experience another life of beauty and authenticity
Our trip was much more than gorilla trekking (which was awesome.) Traveling the roads of Uganda and Rwanda with our guide (Tolbert G), seeing miles of villages, animals and daily life was truly a "spiritual" experience in that life is lived in culture, and US culture is driven much differently. Without American "comforts" and physical abundance, life seems refreshing and honest. I loved it there.

Review about South Africa by amanderson2
I have always gone in the winter but will soon return in summer which I believe is the best time for birding. South Africa overall is wonderful there is a huge variety of scenery and activities. It is easy to travel and has all the modern conveniences you would expect. They understand and embrace hospitality at every level from exceptionally cleaned rooms to well appointed and varied shops. They cater to all levels of the travel market allowing you to have a holiday that works best for you.

A great trip which we won't forget!
We have thoroughly enjoyed our trip, and Tailor Made Safaris had organised it to the utmost detail, leaving us not to worry about anything. We booked rather last minute and yet Tailor Made Safaris managed to organise everything. The best destination, in our opinion, was Tembe Elephant Park. The park and the lodge are managed by super friendly people that are committed to give you an experience of a life time! And sure they did! You could notice that the staff enjoyed working there, which was great to see! Apart from doing game drives, we also enjoyed some time at the Elephant Viewing Hide and spend hours there watching herds of elephant that came to drink. Fantastic!
In summary: A great tour which we won't forget! Tailor Made Safaris, thanks a million for everything!

Review about Tanzania by DaveGibsonImages.com
There are many game management areas and national parks that rate the best in Africa.
Beyond our expectations!!
When we started planning the trip, we were so overwhelmed. There was so much we wanted to see and do and we didn't understand the logistics of making it happen.
A friend recommended Kathi Simon from African Welcome Safari. Her insight and patience was so valuable. Kathi was exceptional about learning the type of trip we were looking for and guiding us to make this a most exceptional experience. We loved all of the hotels and restaurants she recommended.
Our favorite was Ivory lodge at Lions Sand. When we walked into our room, we were astounded at the beauty of the accommodations. It was beyond our expectations. Descriptions cannot do the facility justice.... immaculately clean, incredible staff, unbelievable attention to detail, gourmet food, exceptionally knowledgable guides. Words don't do it justice. Our guide and tracker on the Safari were so knowledgable. We saw all of the big 5 and many more animals. The experience was a memory for a lifetime.
Our next favorite was Tsala tree house on the Garden Route. Beautiful accommodations, wonderful staff and great food. We had two great dinners there....one at the Zinzi restaurant and another in the Wine Cellar. The Wine Cellar was our favorite..... very special.
The Franschoek Country house was lovely. The grounds were beautiful. There are so many wonderful restaurants in the area, I would recommend that people go to the restaurants in town and skip the hotel restaurant.
Rhys was a wonderful guide. He was very helpful with educating us on the history of the areas we were visiting. He was also very flexible and accommodating. His recommendations on when to visit certain sites assisted us in avoiding crowds. We wanted to stay away form "tourist traps" and he understood what we were looking for and made the appropriate recommendations.
Kathi did an excellent job. We felt safe and taken care of from the moment we arrived to we departed. South Africa is a wonderful country and the people are warm and welcoming.

The great arrangement from Arkman gave us a memorable experience for the Safari and travel in Kenya.
Wonderful experience trucking across some extraordinary country roads, arriving at destinations that raised your heart rate and delivering some surprises, every day different, every place offering new experiences beginning with Local Towns. Good job !

Every detail of our trip was well thought out and executed. Arkman Safaris planned a four long trip
From arrival to departure these guys were great. Attention to detail was awesome. Nelson was our guide, he is very knowledgeable, an amazing driver and overall excellent man.
