An authentic safari experience
This is the place to go for an authentic safari experience. The park is huge and the wildlife abundant but the number of other vehicles very minimal. As a result, on numerous occasions we found animals in the wild such as lions and elephants and were the only vehicle present. This is a big contrast to stories we have heard of 10-15 cars for each viewing in the more well known game parks in Kenya and Tanzania. Our trip was also much better value than the larger parks. Would recommend to all.

Quite simply the best holiday we have ever had
We chose Afroriginal Tours from a number of operators having read and compared numerous reviews of the different companies and because of their swift and professional response to our initial enquiries.
We had been planning this holiday for many months and received great advice from Desiree on planning the safari and also the the holiday in Zanzibar at the end.
She was excellent in terms of answering our queries very quickly and also organised absolutely everything for us. She made everything so easy and it was a pleasure to meet her at the beginning of the trip.
Our guide Stewart was excellent and his knowledge of animals and birds as well as his spotting ability made this an unforgettable experience. We truly enjoyed his company.
We spent a full week on safari and stayed in various places all part of the Tanganyika Wilderness Camps. Every single place we stayed in was perfect from the Maramboi Camp,Tloma Lodge,Kati Kati Camp and finally Kitala Lodge. I would recommend these places to anyone.
Every day was different and we will all remember this holiday for a long time to come. Thank you very much Afroriginal Tours.
Tanda Tula Private Game Reserve a unique and simply wonderful life experience
My family and I all enjoyed a holiday of a life time during our 5 day stay at Tanda Tula game reserve within Timbavati Nature reserve. The tented accommodation exceeded expectations, with wonderful views of the wildlife from our own veranda. A real family atmosphere amongst the Tanda Tula team is evident, the food simply amazing, the local music and dancing truly captures the essence of the mood of wild Africa. The attention to detail and customer service from the team within the camp is simply world class. The guides (Foremen and Given in our case) are wonderful people, friendly, extremely knowledgable and are willing to tailor the drives to your individual requests. We completed a total of 12 drives during our time along with a number of short safari walks. I am sure some luck was on our side as we were privileged to witness a number of rare sightings, such as honey badgers, african wild cat and a leopard stalk which ended in a successful kill. Weather was fantastic during our time not too hot during the day and comfortable during the evening. Overall an amazing experience!

Marvelous trip in Namibian desert and Etosha
We booked our 11-day trip to Namibia quite late. Still Wild Wind Safaris by their owners Philip and Martha did everything they could to fix the best accommodations and the most perfect camping spots for the entire trip. The communication between us and them was very good and they answered our questions very fast and with good details. The price of the trip was very reasonable and we mixed camping and staying in lodges. When the flight was one day delayed, due to weather problems in Europe they managed perfectly to adjust our trip.
Our guide Philip was perfect company and very skilled driver and made us feel perfectly safe and comfortable, We visited Sossusvlei dunes, Dead Vlei, Swakopmund, beautiful Spitzkoppe area and Etosha National Park. The entire trip was wonderful and really fulfilling. Philip, who was very knowledgeable and told us very interesting facts about the areas that we passed, people, animals and could answer all of our questions without hesitation. He could spot the animals and had the patience to sit and wait for a herd of elephants to come closer or to observe resting or drinking lions. He knew when the animals acted differently and something out of the ordinary was to be expected, which made our experience even better. He also found the perfect photo opportunities for us during the trip.
Philip was also a perfect chief and served us very good meals along the road. One of us is sensitive/allergic to certain foods and Philip made the perfect effort to fix proper food considering the allergies, which made the whole trip even better.
We would really like to recommend Wild Wind Safaris to everyone and we are thinking about making the next trip to the area with them as well. Thanks guys and hope to see you soon again.

An unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime African experience!!
To actually see wildlife in their natural environment was a stunning and unique experience. The numerous elephants, water buffaloes, Impalas and Kob antelope made our safari with our guide, Sam, a breathtaking
tour of the QE National Park. The Kazinga Channel cruise was awe-inspiring, as we ventured very near elephants, hippos, water buffaloes, and crocodiles! The more amazing photos I gathered were of the numerous fish-eagles, one of which had a talapia fish held in its talons as it flew and landed on a tree branch!!
We had accommodations at the Mweya Lodge which was fantastic! The views of the Rwenzori Mountains and the Kazinga Channel from its mountaintop location was great! One could see elephants and other wildlife walking about the shores of the Kazinga Channel from the patio of our room! The food is first-rate and the rooms were luxurious as well. The general manager and host at the Mweya Lodge was very friendly and gave us historical accounts and other information on the area.
The QE Nat'l Park was a difficult drive and the weather was warm but it accounts for the African 'experience'.
Uganda is truly the "Pearl of Africa" !!

Hwange & Matopos National Park
Hands down these guys were fantastic! Ian was incredibly helpful booking and helping us set up or trip. All of the tour guys once we touched down were incredibly knowledgeable about where we were going. They made the whole experience fantastic. I can't express how well the guys did- they really have us the entire tour and they didn't want to stop until they felt like they had done just that! Will definitely use them again- as we will be bringing family back to Zimbabwe.
An incredible two day experience
We visited Sabi Sabi in mid March 2015. Our ranger picked us up at the airport and before we reached the lodge we had memorable animal encounters with elephants, giraffes, impala's, and nyala's. Our ranger (Eve) and tracker (Donald) were assigned to us for our full stay which provided for good continuity. They were both great. As it turned out, we had the vehicle to ourselves which made it like a private tour. Ranger Eve asked what we liked to look for and adjusted to meet our interests that included looking for birds. We saw all the big 5 and had special (at least to me) encounters with cheetahs, wild dogs, and leopards. We took a nature hike with the ranger and saw two leopards on foot. We saw a large number of birds in the bush. The weather had been quite dry, so we did not see many wading birds. The accommodations were first class. Very spacious, private, and clean. The food was served buffet style but there was a wide variety and of very good quality. The included house wines were also quite good. The cakes available at the afternoon high tea were exceptionally good. They are worth eating even if you are not hungry. It was a nice touch to have our ranger join us for dinner both nights. This allowed us to learn a lot more about Sabi and SA and added to our overall experience. Yes, it is expensive but I would say it is still a good value based on the personal service we received. You are going to remember the experience more than you are going to miss the few hundred bucks. By the way, on the way back to the airport we saw lions.
