The perfect experience
We can't say anything negative about this journey, it was perfect from the beginning to the end. The Lodges were beautiful and every single one had something special. ( Lunch at the border of the Nile, wonderful Wildlife etc.) Our expectations were high but the journey was even better, specially because of our guide Farouk who could read every wish we had and tried his best to never say no to any special ideas we had.
We are very thankful!

Got everything we hoped for
All aspects of the four days were great. We were concerned about the 5-6 hour drive from JNB. They stopped 2-3 times at major service stations with name brand eating facilities. Guides were tops and very accommodating. Saw all big 5 many times and leopards all 3 tour days. Costs were very reasonable and Hippo Hollow hotel was excellence. Highly recommend.

Weekend in the Serengeti
We were 4 volunteers going to the Serengeti. We all had a great experience. Ernest is the best driver I have been been on a safari with, especially with the roads that were difficult to drive on because of the rain.
The weather wasn't ideal as it was raining a lot and the grass was high, but Ernest managed to make us see everything. The food and the car were very good. We all had a good time. He managed to find other people to go on the trip with us and reduce the price. Very professional and well-organized. Recommended.

Fantastic experience, Incredible value
Our safari with Wildebeest Safaris exceeded our expectations. The variety of wildlife we were able to see on our 10 Day Kenya and Tanzania trip was astounding. Our guides were professional, knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and worked hard to solve problems when they did arise. Considering what we paid for our trip versus what other tour operators quoted, I am shocked at the high quality of our experience. They even put us into a luxury resort for Valentines Day to our surprise. There is some room for improvement with the communication. Providing some additional pre-trip information would help, and we were twice left wondering where our driver was when he had vehicle troubles. These were minor troubles in comparison to an overall fantastic trip.
Amazing experience
Having been to the Addo Elephant National Park on four occasions, every time was as if I had never been as there was a special magic everytime. On my last visit I was lucky to see a lion kill and buffalo up close. Going out on the early morning bush drive, with the expectation of seeing something special was not a disappointment as I had never seen an anteater and he waddled out in front of us and stood transfixed in the headlights. As the sun rose on our way back to the camp, a Fish Eagle called to us from a tree right next to the road.
I cant wait for my next visit.
Review about South Africa by Dreamcatcher photos
South Africa has such a diverse and colourful history and by far the destination of choice when it comes to vistas that are so breathtaking and majestic. One does not have to travel vast distances to see oceans crashing against the shores or sunkissed beaches, Table mountain with Cape Town nestled at her feet, Winelands with world class wines, Game parks with all the big five, and Mountain passes that meander through unspoilt beauty.

Shangri-La in Tanzania with Hazina Afrika
After much research and several enquiries I happened upon Lisa at Hazina Afrika.Right after the first email I knew we would go with Hazina Afrika. Lisa listened to our wishes and planned the perfect safari for the time of year we would be in Tanzania. Everything was perfect from our pickup at Kilimanjaro International airport to our drop off at Dar Es Salaam and everything in between . Our guide Lordlugard made everyday a wonderful experience we will remember and cherish. Accommodation , food, transfers and even the weather were ideal. Lisa at Hazina Afrika takes the worry out of booking the consummate safari, she knows what she is doing and listens to her clients. I would recommend Hazina Afrika without any reservations

Safari in masai mara!
Kenyan walking safari was an excellent choice since we got great response before our trip, Me otieno answered all our questions. Our guide Dennis made sure that or experience was awesome and that we got to see all the animals we wanted. We had our own jeep (which I highly recommend everyone) and the experience was amazing. The lodge we stayed at was a lot better than we thought so we had great value for money. we chose a three day safari, which was sufficient when having Dennis as guide. we only entered the park two days, I would have wanted a morning safari the last day before leaving - but on the other hand we had a full day with even lunch ON the savannah picnic-style. I can recommend you to choose Kenyan walking safari - very service minded.

Exceptional service
If you are reading this you are looking for a bespoke safari as we were. JDA provided exceptional service start to finish. Pre tour communication from Patrick was excellent and all of our needs were met. We stayed in terrific accommodation, travelled to 3 locations and changed between flights and safari vehicle at ease. Everything ran to time and our guide Kamyan was great company and very knowledgeable. We were virgins to Uganda but will absolutely go again and will certainly use JDA.

Exceeded our expectations!
We loved our experience of a 5 day combined Kruger National Park\Sabi Sands adventure. It exceeded all of our expectations. We booked with Esleen and she was knowledgeable, quick to respond and helped us get exactly what we were looking for. I would recommend KrugerPark.com to everyone as the go to site for South Africa. She made it so easy!! Best holiday ever.
