It was such a beautiful experience!
People in Tanzania were very friendly and helpful. The nature and its Wildlife is much more beautiful as we expected. Especially the Camp in the serengeti, where we followed the Migration was undescribable!!! Food and camps were excellent during the whole Journey!
Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Alistair Tough
The park is quite small but has an unusual rain forest environment. The hotel overlooking Manyara has one of the most exciting swimming pools in the world - there is a thousand foot drop from one side.

Amazing adventure, magical food!
We were four friends who was booked on a safari through wild things safari and we would not change a thing!
A girl from the Office met us at our first hotel i Dar se Salaam and went throug the basics. The following day we were picked up by our guide and went on an amazing adventure! He had knowledge about everything we asked about and more!
Not to forget- our chef! He cooked us the best food we had in a long time!!
We lived in tents right in the bush. Really nervwrecking but also really cool!
Right we would actually have wanted to change a thing, next time we'll stay more than Five days!
Review about Ruaha National Park by Alistair Tough
In the dry season the wildlife congregates around the river pools. I have happy memories of watching two male hippos contesting the right to occupy one pool: they used excrement-spraying and eventually worked who was dominant without the use of violence. We stayed in the main safari lodge which was excellent with wonderful views from the dining area

Excellent service!
I traveled to Kenya and Tanzania with SED. While SED offers package tours, I preferred to customize the entire trip just for me. In sum, it was the BEST overseas travel experience I ever had (and I have traveled overseas a lot, not on tours). Elifasi, the manager, arranged all accommodations and itineraries to my specification, and he personally made sure that I was satisfied while I was there. SED was also very flexible and accommodating about my requests to make changes to the itinerary while traveling, and very honest and transparent about the charges or refunds involved in making these changes. I wanted to do a lot of hiking and see local cultures while I was there instead of just being driven to watch animals, and SED and Elifasi totally made this happen. When I twisted my left ankle during one of these hikes in the mountains, they took me to the hospital immediately, and made sure everything was ok and I was able to continue my travel. All in all, I am completely satisfied with SED, and I'd recommend them to anyone who's traveling to East Africa.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Lisa Lewis Koster
More animals than at Amboseli, perhaps due to the fact that the drivers could go off-road to find them.

Sent me on the Trip of a Lifetime
From the minute we stepped off the plane in Africa, to the sad moment we headed home, everything was perfect. The trip exceeded our expectations beyond words. The communication and service between us and African Welcome Safaris was outstanding. The safari, as well as ALL of the excursions were exactly what we wanted. We were treated like Royalty every step of the way. There was not one single issue, error or problem during our 2 week stay. I highly recommend African Welcome. I especially would like to commend Kathi Simon for her patience, amazing knowledge, and her attention to every detail. We have every intention of returning one day, and will undoubtedly use her again.
Review about South Africa by Travelling Rats
South Africa as a destination has just about everything a traveller can wish for. The safari parks are each unique and offer a safe and intimate African experience. Beyond safari's there are so many other highlights across this magnificent country making it a hard to beat destination.

Review about Botswana by MIGUEL
Bots is a safe and unspoilt country, with lots to do and see and (at least in the low season) few people or tourists to be seen.

Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by quilttyme
Hluhluwe-Umfolozi is a very beautiful, hilly reserve. There are many animals and they are pretty easy to see.
As a reserve it is open to everyone and you can actually drive your car though on your own. This can tend to make it seem a little crowded.
Be sure to include lunch at the Hilltop Lodge which has fantastic panoramic views of the bushvelt (Afrikaans for bush country).
