Review about South Africa by tapaculo99
Wildlife was amazing in the game parks - we saw something like 35 species of mammal in our 3-week trip.
Scenic beauty was great as well, especially in Kruger, Hluhluwe, and the Drakensberg Mountains.
Birding was excellent - we saw over 300 species during our trip, mostly without hiring guides.

Review about South Africa by pixpeeper
Everybody knows what a scenic country South Africa! What we didn't expect that many encounters with the people were as memorable as the wildlife! Can't wait to go back!

Great safari experience
Our safari in Selous national park was very professional from start to end, Ndamungu very responsive . They picked us up from the hotel on time and the safari followed the agreed pattern. Our guide,Ernest, was fantastic and very knowledgeable. He knew where to look for the various animals, had great vision to spot them, went off-road when needed to, great driving and fantastic spirit, funny and friendly all the way through our 3-days,it is very joyful for me never had that before.
We strongly recommend to book you safar with Mercury Zanzibar Safari

A wonderful combination of scenery, wildlife, accomodations and personality.
We haven't been home but a couple of days and are already planning a new expedition with Thinus Blaauw of CrissCross Namibia Safaris. Our almost 3 week tour of Namibia hit all the highlights we had read about as well as a few places we never would have found on our own. The camps and lodges suited us well, even though we booked late and Thinus had to scramble to reserve all the places we needed. Pretravel communication included a complete description of possible itineraries as well as a an effort to get to know our small group of four early elderly travelers. Thinus led us deftly but never with a heavy hand and there was always opportunity for aimless wandering and picture taking. But his strongest suit may be a sense of humor that cushioned even the rockiest gravel road.

From big 5 to big 500
Following a succesfull trip in 2011 this year again I joined Nick and Freya from Tailormade Safaris on a Safaritrip with a focus on birdwatching to the Kwazulu Natal coasline and inland to Wakkerstroom and the Drakensberg. Their knowledge of the region is outstanding and thanks to their enthusiastic guiding we managed many exciting bird species to the trip list. We ticked elusive larks, magestic lammergyers and saw many of the enigmatic mammals too, turning our safari in a big 500 adventure! Highly recommended!

Review about Kenya by Migara Wijesinghe
Kenya is simply amazing. The wildlife is much different to what we have back in Sri Lanka and that was a really good experience. Not just the big five, but other animals and birds were really nice to photograph and watch. A country with so much to see!! And the food, the food is great. Kenyan's surely do know how to cook.
