A beautiful experience in Kenya..for my very 1st Safari in Africa!
I got a 10 day safari courtesy of African Touch Safaris, through the travel manager, Susan.
A truly remarkable experience as we toured the masaai mara game reserve & thereafter a 4 day visit to Mt. Kenya. We stayed at the amazing Mt. Kenya safari club. A truly 5 star experience!
African Touch gave us vip service from start to finish. The driver guide Hesbon was funny, knowledgeable & quite interesting, lotsa stories and an overall remarkable experience in Kenya.
African Touch Safaris comes highly recommended for all your holidays in Africa.
Review about Botswana by Eilam Gil
Botswana has it all. Excellent wildlife, wonderful people, and the ability to get away from hectic life.
Fantastic and unique opportunity to encounter the majestic mountain gorilla!
After one long day drive on the bumpy Ugandan roads, all available accommodations provide clean rooms and friendly customer service, local food and even cold beers! Next day after early morning birding in the garden, the training comes on how to behave with and approach to gorillas. Then the hiking and gorilla tracking comes, which is almost certainly rewarded with the actual sighting them! This is the most fantastic 30-60 minutes of the entire trip but no doubt, it worth the efforts!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Alice Chen, San Francisco, USA
Wow, so many elephants, this is truly prime elephant country, especially when you look at the horizon and see a herd of over two hundred elephants in the distance! We also saw two leopards, one with a kill in a tree, and our camp (Taragire Safari Lodge) is totally unfenced so lots of gazelles wandering around. However the landscape was a bit dry and not that pretty, and maybe because it was at the end of our safari but we didn't see many "new" animals except for dik dik of which there were quite a few. However it's a great park and probably best visited at the start of a safari, not the end.
Review about South Africa by Wild Images
I am born and bred here. Our Tourism Board has promoted Sa for a long time as a world within a country. We have everything from beaches to mountains, forests to desert, a wonderful climate, a weal rand for overseas visitors which make SA an affordable destination. The general populace is friendly. We have over 900 recorded bird species, over 200 mammal species, the Cape Flower Kingdom with the most species, beautiful skies, stars, weather. Some areas like the Garden Route in the Southern Cape is renowned worldwide for it beauty and scenery. Table Mountain, the Drakensbeg - so many biomes, and all with a beauty of its own. This is the place where you can see the big 5, and the small 5 and so many other critters in between! The private game reserves adjacent to Kruger National Park are the best place to see and photograph leopards, that most beautiful and elusive enigma of the African bush. Our life list of SA birds is >530 - I photograph them - I'm not a twitcher. We have wonderful birds, beautiful birds, elusive birds and many endemic birds. However take care that recorded species is never the same as how many species you may encounter at any given time, place and season!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Alice Chen, San Francisco, USA
Wonderful microcosm of wildlife, with so many types of animals within such a small space! Unfortunately there were lots of other vehicles there too, but with a little bit of work you can avoid most of them. We saw a pack of hyenas chasing a cheetah here -- priceless!
Beautiful bushvelt scenery with a variety of wildlife & friendly and warm service from all staff.
I found Marakele a great Safari destination because of the overall beauty and fauna and flora diversity. The reserve consists of anything from open grass fields to mountain ranges and the climate is moderate. It is highly recommended to make use of the excellent guides available on their safari tours. Nature lovers will find what they are looking for, whether it is plants, birds or the larger wildlife. Marakele is a great safari destination which I highly recommend...

Way beyond expectations
From the moment we arrived at the Kilimanjaro Airport we were well looked after by Hazina Africa. The itinerary was well laid out, and it allowed us to fulfill all the goals we had set for our trip. Being very enthusiastic amateur photographers, we were incredibly satisfied by the photographic opportunities and experiences that our INCREDIBLE guide offered us. Accommodations were superb; everything was organized and well-prepared for us. This trip gave us experiences well beyond what we had expected. When we return to Africa there is no question that we will be using Hazina Africa again.
