Amazing trip to South Africa, Botswana and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe!
After perusing itineraries for quite a while I decided to organise a three week trip for me (60 years) and my daughter (30) with Bel from Trailblazers. We were given individual treatment... just the drivers and us. What a fantastic trip we had! Starting in Johannesburg we did three safaris in Kruger plus a day trip on the Panaromic route before heading north. We travelled all the way through Botswana staying at the Khama Rhino Sanctuary where we did another more peaceful afternoon safari before reaching Chobe where we experienced yet another different and exhilarating safari. After crossing the border to Zimbabwe we visited Victoria Falls which is a must see! On the return journey through Botswana, we stayed in a traditional chalet next to the waterhole at Elephant Sands where the elephants were going about their daily lives at the waterhole only metres away. We then returned to Johannesburg and visited Soweto - a very moving experience, before flying to Capetown to complete our last leg which was a more luxurious and upbeat experience. In Capetown we met interesting people while enjoying day trips visiting Table Mountain, The Cape of Good Hope and the wineries and we also explored the city ourselves, eating at excellent restaurants and meandering through areas such as the waterfront. I cannot praise Bel enough! Before we left Australia, she contacted me regularly with necessary info and upgrades! Our accommodation ranged from traditional chalets, lodges and mid-range hotels and in each country we met up with a new driver/guide who was helpful, often funny, friendly and protective, making us feel safe and secure. The encounters with animals were amazing and have created lifetime memories for us. I am already planning my next adventure with Bel.
Great experience with Beacon safaris.
It was our first visit to Kenya and we chose Beacon safaris based on online reviews. We didn't go wrong with that! The communication was great. Beacon provided valuable suggestions and helped to complete our travel plan based on our interest. They were very accommodating. The resorts offered were all great and the game drives were very good as well.

Best Trip Ever!!!
This was my first trip out of the country and I’m not sure how I’m ever going to top this! I wanted my trip to be safari centered and they totally delivered. Unfortunately we missed Table Mountain because we were late getting to Cape Town because of flight delays, but the rest of the trip was AHH-MAZING!!! Our tour guide turned out to be the cool uncle I never had. My tour happened to be very personalized which I appreciated. We did a lot of driving up to Johannesburg, but it was cool because we sung and laughed almost the entire way. It was a busy trip, but a fun trip! I even got to walk in the wild with my favorite animal, the cheetah!!! If I could do this all over again, I would! Can’t wait to book my next safari!

Thousands of animals, striking landscapes, expert guide, great pictures...what more could you want!!
Setting up the trip, which we customized a bit, was easier than we thought. Everyone at Odyssey Safaris was very accommodating. Our guide, Simon, was phenomenal. From the time he picked us up at the airport he made us feel safe and comfortable. He always pointed out animals in the distance as we approached on our game drives and he was quick to show us unfamiliar birds. He took us up close with game for some awesome photos, and kept our best interest at heart when moving us from one conservancy to the next. We couldn't have asked for more in a guide! All of our accommodations were great - comfortable and clean, with all the amenities (we loved the hot water bottles!), and the meals we shared as a family were delicious. I was impressed with all of the options available at mealtime. Our party of eight (two families of four) still talks fondly about this trip and how much we all loved it. It was such a positive experience. We plan on returning someday with a few more family members in tow! I'm happy that we chose Odyssey Safaris as our tour operator.

Such a magic and pure nature. Asili Explorer Safaris made sure that my private tour is comfortable.
I thank Asili Safari Explorer for providing an excellent private tour for me in Tarangire and Ngoronoro, at a short notice and good price. The guide took effort to find interesting sightings, including more than 10 lions and a Rhino. Highly recommended.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! BEST EVER
We came to Tanzania for our honeymoon!! We went around in Terenghire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. We are not able to explain the experience. Lions, elephants, hippos and all the animals you have in your fantasy so close that you could touch them. Daniel helped us from the beginning to the end with all our needs and Moses guided us by car around the whole period!!! They are simply great!!! Now we are friends!!! They helped us to understand Tanzania, the culture, the tradition and the habits of all animals!! They are well-prepared and they give you assistance for all things you should know.
We submitted them a desire they gave us A DREAM!!!!
NEVER LIVED A SUCH COOL EXPERIENCE!!!!

Trip of a liftime with impeccable service, wonderful hotels and food and guides !
These guys were the best-communication before the trip was flawless and during the trip they go out of your way to make sure you are getting what you need and are comfortable and happy. This trip exceeded my expectations and was really a trip of a lifetime- I liked them so much I am having them take me on a Gorilla Trek in 2019!

This is truly the trip of a lifetime. Everything was wonderful from the greeting at the airport to each of the individual contractors. I will go back as soon as I can.
