Review about Kenya by Ellinor Johansson
Kenya is a beautiful country with a lot of nature! I have lived in Kenya for half a year (normally live in Sweden) and really like it here. Kenya is often portrayed as being unsafe making people reluctant to travel. As long as you follow travel recommendations, you will feel as safe in Kenya as you do elsewhere. I would definitely recommend anyone seeking a genuine African experience to come to Kenya! I'm glad I did and couldn't have wished for a better time!

Review about South Africa by crafty1tutu (Ann Cameron)
It is a wonderful place to visit and see different cultures and animals in the wild and not confined in cages.

Luxury Accommodation and Terrific Wildlife
We stayed at Phinda Vlei for three nights in Oct 2007. The accommodations were very luxurious and very comfortable. We were very happy with the game drives taken and enjoyed abundant wildlife sightings. Although a private reserve, it is still large enough with varied terrain to avoid redundancy when staying multiple nights. We'd certainly recommend it.

A great adventure with the help of Lilac
My girlfriend and I went on a safari with Lilac as part of the our tour of Madagascar, Tanzania and Kenya. The tour was in Tanzania and it was great! The company did a great job picking us up and then accommodating our departure. Only thing where they could improve is on giving better advice on what sites to visit and which not to visit. For example, we visited Lake Manyara apparently at the wrong season, so did not get close to the water. Would have helped to be warned about this before going there. Would have loved this extra day in the Serengeti! But overall a very competent company that provided a good vehicle, arranged the hotels well and communicated with me actively over email before the trip, customizing their offering to my needs.
Thanks Lilac!

Review about South Africa by dfross
South Africa provides everything one could hope for as a safari destination. Incredible beauty, both driving to and from the game reserves, as well as at the game reserves, and a diversity of wildlife that is beyond any expectation. The people of South Africa were so friendly, and English was spoken everywhere. Never once did I feel unsafe.
Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by Mark Ratcliffe
Good location next to Sun-city and located in a huge volcano crater. Stayed offsite at Bakubang which was pleasant but I prefer to be staying in the reserve itself

Unbelieavably beautiful country, world-class service
We all had an amazing time in South Africa, and have just been talking about it non-stop to whoever would listen, really!
My children (ages 7&9 years) just told me two nights ago that they miss South Africa - which shows how much your lovely country has managed to charm even the children.
Considering our group of 12 of two families (total six kids from ages 6-17 last year) and two grandmas were planning our holiday with AFRICAN WELCOME
SAFARIS all the way in Asia, Kathi Simon at African Welcome
Safaris was amazingly efficient, patient and knowledgable.
She even answered all our queries via email "real time", given our different time zones.
She was ever so thoughtful and took into consideration our party's diverse age group and interests, we knew that we were in good hands!
I wrote a gushing post on African Safari Welcome's FB timeline, although I would like to again applaud the wonderful team at Tintswalo especially Kaylee who is such a genuine sweetie, and Eric and Foster (whose game vehicle the four youngest children, Patricia and I had the joy to ride in -- they have such a respect and deep understanding of the animals and the bush, we were able to experience some
unforgettable animal encounters thanks to this dynamic duo!) and of course, the effable and knowledgeable guide in Cape Town, Rhys and of course our genial driver Victor.
Thanks to Kathi and her team at African Welcome
Safaris, her recommendations and efficient service. I have had several friends asking me for your contact and our itinerary after they saw our photos posted on FB, and I know they will be in good hands with their assistance.
Full marks and deep gratitude for the best vacation my family have ever had!
Ive seen it all but this was the best if you have a good guide.
From soup to nuts this place has something for everyone. If you dont care to see gorillas the birding is fantastic. All of the Bwindi park rangers are fine but if you can arrange to be with "Sunday" you will get 20+ years of Gorilla affection and understanding.
