Review about Kruger National Park by Matt D.
A great place to view game, but as it's a national park there are many regulations that don't allow one to see everything.

The Wildlife, The Luxury, What More Can One Want?
Mala Mala is a game reserve located on the outskirts of the Kruger National Park, and the wildlife is able to travel freely between the two. When one travels to Mala Mala, a stay pretty much guarantees a Big 5 viewing, and lucky there is lots of game to view. The guides are extremely knowledgable, and the whole experience is incredible. The only downside to Mala Mala is that it isn't a place for anyone who is looking for a true bush experience, because it is so luxury. The food is amazing, and eating outside in a true-African boma is a great experience. Truly a treat for anyone looking for a luxury bush experience.

Review about Zambia by Allan_Grey
High quality wildlife viewing, high quality accommodation, definitely not crowded, in fact it felt like we almost had the place to ourselves. Not overly scenic, but then we were there in the dry season, it would have looked very different in the wet season

Review about Kwandwe Game Reserve by Ken Okumura
Kwandwe has a more dramatic location than Madikwe.

Creature comforts and lots of creatures
We went to Madikwe Game Reserve in 2009, having been once before on a safari to its sister park Kwandwe some years earlier. I doubt any two game reserves are the same, and it Madikwe was very different from Kwandwe.
Highlights for me were tracking the pack of wild dogs (which are apparently very rare in Africa but were fairly plentiful in Madikwe), watching a pride of lions relax and play with each other next to the airstrip and having a lioness almost brush past my leg whilst I was sitting in the rear seats of the safari jeep.
Overall I'd thoroughly recommend Madikwe (and Kwandwe) to anyone wanting to get a safari experience whilst staying in relative luxury.

Amazing. Pure luxury, and romance in the middle of the bush. Nicest Tented camp i have been to.
This was an incredible safari! Fly camp was beautifuly set up... white bed sheets and duvet covers, within a big canvas tent. All the small details to make it feel luxurious even though its a fly camp in the middle of the bush. We heard lions roaring every night.. and saw lots of game. The horses are wonderful, and the staff is very kind helpful and professional.
Highly recommended !!!

5 Years of tours with Savannah and still can't fault them!
As part of a project I run I have been taking groups to Tanzania since 2008 and have always relied on Savannah Tours for all our transport and accommodation throughout. The groups have ranged from 7 - 27 people of differing ages from all over the world and who forward to a taste of life in Tanzania. All arrangements from pick up at the airport, travel and accommodation all over the country, including safaris, beach breaks and the visit to the school which is the subject of my Project, are undertaken by Savannah. Their friendly and efficient staff go out of their way to make everything perfect and their drivers cannot be faulted for their care and attention. I cannot recommend them highly enough and you will not be disappointed by choosing them for your safari or tour.

Review about South Africa by Marieke
South Africa has so much to offer and is very diverse in its safari destinations. Visited different parks on different holidays over the past years and still hope to cross them all of my list someday. South Africa hasn't seen the last of me yet!

Good camp in very remote area offering excellent game walks
Very accommodating staff who help in every way despite the camp being in such a remote area. I was very happy with my stay there, even if it was very hot! Note this was 6 years ago.

Review about Tanzania by Rick Engel
We enjoyed both Kenya and Tanzania. Of the 2, Tanzania seemed a bit more friendly and safe, but by the same token, there were fewer people in the Kenyan parks. As well, in January/February, Tanzania was not as dry as Kenya.
