A week in paradise
We had the perfect safari in South-Africa: the only thing we needed to take care of was our plane ticket to Johannesburg. As of the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized: somebody was waiting at the airport, quick transfer to the little plane (wonderful experience) taking us to Ngala. When we left the plane, our ranger was already waiting for us, and drove us to the beautiful lodge. Delicious food, extremely friendly people, we have seen the most amazing animals and birds during our 3-day stay there. We were sad to leave Ngala, but Kirkman's Kamp (also 3 days) was another wonderful experience - the "and beyond" organization stands up for its name, it is truly an "and beyond experience"! Everything is included, if you don't buy anything in the souvenir shop, there is no additional cost to the package price (there are no "hidden costs" - mini bar, all beverages, meals, bush aperos, ... are included)
Ute from Roho Ya Chui is a great travel agent, and she was extremely helpful, all questions we had before leaving were answered quickly! We can warmly recommend her!

Review about Kenya by Steve
Kenya has some of the greatest bird diversity in Africa, and it was a wild place to visit. In some respects, bird and mammal diversity is restricted to the large parks, or at least the regularly birded destinations. We tried to visit places off the beaten path, but we had a hard time stopping on the side of the road without attracting a scene. The human population is blosoming, and the countryside and many parks are suffering from people trying to support their families. If you stick to your itinerary with a tour group, you'll be exposed to some of the best parks Kenya has to offer.

Review about South Africa by Gail
It was the only safari I've ever been on, so I don't have anything to compare it to. However, for a first time, it was wonderful.

Review about South Africa by piazzi1969
Very good views of a number of mammals, especially leopards, elephants and white rhino but fewer bird species than expected. This could have been due to the very dry months prior to our visit with rains only beginning a day or two before our arrival. During the course of our stay the bush started to turn green so I can imagine that the scenic beauty will be much better in the weeks and months to come.

Review about Tanzania by Eric Dewar
Tanzania was an incredible country. It was my first trip to Africa. All of the locals were very knowledgable. The areas are safe and the scenery is incredible. I would recommend this destination.

Highlights of South Africa, Cape Town to Sabi Sands
Hello Kathi,
Just a short note to say thank you for schedule and arrangements for our trip to South Africa; everything was perfect from the "meet & greet" at J'Burg through to the final transfer back to J'Burg Airport.
There were many highlights but to mention just a few;
1. Cape Grace Hotel - we couldn't have picked a better Hotel for both service & location. The V&A Waterfront is fanatstic and close to eveything Cape Town has to offer.
2. Louis - spending time with Louis as our Tour Guide was an absolute pleasure. His knowledge of Cape Town and South Africa is superb, not to mention his easy going personality.
3. Leopard Hills - the true highlight of the trip. Everything was perfect, Accommodation, Meals, Game Viewing, etc. all exceeded our expectations. Dave, our Ranger was fantastic!
We have some wonderful memories and hundereds of photos from our Trip. I'm sure we wll be back for another taste in the near future.
Once again, thank you
P.S. Sun City was a little disappointing, my choice to visit there not yours. I did enjoy the golf course and The Palace but the rest of Sun City is very "family & childen"oriented.

Perfect round-trip
Booked 8-day roundtrip starting from Johannesburg. Went to Sun City, via Panorama Route to Kruger and finally to Blyde River Canyon. Everything was perfectly organized and the hotels/lodges matched 100% with our expectations.

Review about South Africa by Beenie Photography
For all the same reasons listed above. It is a wonderful location. Being such a large country, two weeks was hardly enough to experience its beauty. I look forward to a return trip.
