Review about Uganda by Peter Schnurman
The wildlife has rebounded after being severely depleted, The scenery is natural and very varied. Compared to other safari destinations in East Africa, it is relatively uncrowded.

An unforgettable trip of a lifetime!
David and I are very happy with our trip that Kathi organized for us ! From day one, I felt knew I was dealing with a very knowledgeable person, and appreciate all the personal attention to detail to ensure we had a great experience!
We fell in love with Cape Town! I enjoyed the Cape Cadogan because it gave us a look at life in the city, and not just on the waterfront where it is mostly tourists. We did enjoy going to the waterfront for our meals! WOW, the food is amazing! Even the food we had around the hotel was so very good! Fresh seafood at its's best.
The highlight to seeing such beauty throughout CapeTown and the Garden Route was having Rhys as our guide. He made the trip so interesting! He showed true professionalism and we truly enjoyed his personality and dedication to ensuring we enjoyed every experience! The Tsala Lodge could not be topped anywhere on the trip! The rooms are spectacular!
We loved the Michelangelo, and the fact that we could walk right into the shopping areas and restaurants. The Melrose Arch is fun and a great area to stay in.
The Sabi Sabi Safari experience spoiled us so much! Even the ranger, Alistair, said he had not had such experiences with one party's stay in the 7 years he has been a ranger! Leopards mating, Lions mating, Lions with their kill, their babies, Leopard with it's kill in a tree, all the big 5 in all their glory and more! The game we saw, and the quality of the viewing, and the fantastic ranger, Alistair,topped it all off! Our video and pictures look like National Geographic material! Alistair dined with us every night and that was a bonus because we were able to get so much information on the area and wildlife!
We loved the Victoria Falls Hotel! It felt like we were going back to Colonial times. Very regal, and the grounds were kept immaculate.
Just seeing the Falls, and doing the activities we chose, made the stay spectacular! We did the walk, the helicopter ride and the zip line! Super!
The first camp in Botswana, the Savute Elephant Camp was super! We loved the tents! Showering outdoors was a treat! The game viewing however was tough to beat after staying at Sabi Sabi!
The Eagle Island Camp was a wonderful safari experience! We loved being over the water! The first afternoon on canoes was a really fun way to introduce us to the delta! The next day we took an all day boat trip throughout the delta and had a picnic lunch on one of the islands. We went specifically to see Hippo and Elephant and we got to see them up close and personal! I named our boat the Hippo Hunter!
We have had a marvelous trip !
Thank you so much for everything, we will be back!

Reliable, comfortable budget alternative
We used SED Adventures for 8 days with a group of 37 people. This was the second time we used SED, and once again we were pleased! The tour included safari, study visits to an orphanage, a hospital and a coffee plantatio, accomodatiob for 7 nights and transportation. We were all quite impressed with how SED managed to arrange everything in accordance with our needs as a big group. The food was delicious and the guides were friendly. If we have the chance, we will use SED again!

African Welcome provided a truly magical and varied experience of Africa with true Professionalism
Magical Africa
Hi Alex,
We had a sensational trip.
Thank you for your professionalism and practical advice in creating our magical African Experience.
Having all transfers and flights between the Lodges organized and running to time took all the hassles out of our trip leaving us to relax and enjoy.
Your choice of lodges for the whole of our trip was excellent. Chapunga and N’kaya Lodges in Thornybush Reserve in S.A., although each different, were most enjoyable and comfortable.
In Botswana the Orient Express lodges of Eagle Island and Savute Elephant Camp in Chobe National Park were both excellent choices. Nygoma Lodge in the north of Botswanna with its panoramic river views and sunsets was a wonderful way to finish our safari. The food and service in all these places was excellent.
All lodges had fabulous staff - professional but also with that special touch of African friendliness. Knowing each of us by name and ensuring we were enjoying our stay was their top priority. The Rangers were informative and respectful of the animals creating an exciting experience but also mindful we were in the animal’s territory.
Of course the real adventure for us was viewing the animals in their natural habitat. Seeing the interaction of a baby elephant with its mother by holding her tail with its little trunk or a rhino feeding with its young or the lionesses getting ready for a charge were all special moments. How do we explain to someone the thrill of an elephant grazing on a tree beside our tented cabin or the roar of the lion kill which occurred across the river from our lodge? These were some of the magical moments we will never forget. The special touch was when we found out at the end you had been tracking our tour all the way to ensure everything went smoothly and it certainly did. Thank you Alex. We have no hesitation in recommending African Welcome to anyone who wants a hassle free and exciting tour of Africa.

Review about South Africa by Jonathan Gill
South Africa offers a diverse range of opportunities for viewing mountains, the sea, and discovering wildlife. The Kruger Park is definately worth visiting. A person on safari could spend 5 days or more in that park. South Africa has a number of other smaller parks throughout the country. The Drakensburg mountains are spectacular as is the Garden Route. The wild flowers of the Karoo, are also something worth seeing in August/September. On the whole SA is worth one visit at least.
