Experience of a lifetime!
Communications and preparation of the itinerary including changes due to special requests was very professional.
The 10-day safari itself exceeded all expectations by far, the service was excellent.

Never seen so many lions!
We stayed at the new Chobe Bush Lodge, sister accommodation to the Chobe Safari Lodge. Really nice rooms, everything still fresh and new. We went for a game drive in the morning and a boat cruise in the afternoon. We were at the gate of the park at 6 in the morning; it was still dark and very cold. I sat shivering in the vehicle, and probably the animals were still curled up in bed as well. We did see a leopard in the half-light, but not much else. That is, until we heard the lions. There were many. A pride of about 10 was chased away from their kill by another pride, and they were angry! Growling, with foam around their mouths. Now I almost couldn't hold my camera for the adrenalin rushing through my body. (I managed, though, as you can see here: ) We didn't see much game other than the lions - but it was fantastic anyhow. The boatcruise was fine as well - the sunset on the Chobe river is a beauty. However, it gets really busy with boats in the afternoon, so that bush vibe wasn't really there. Also, when you are staying in the Bush Lodge or the Safari Lodge, the boat is really big, so it can't come close to the banks. Food at the lodge was okay, though the menu promised more than was actually given. My ciabatta with mozzarella, pesto and tomato turned out to be a cheese sandwich without any pesto or mozzarella. It tasted good, but was not what I expected.

Review about Botswana by johannekekroesbergen
Botswana is probably more rugged than South Africa, and more tourist friendly than Zambia.

Absolutely fantastic experience with E-Trip Africa
Thinking about working with operators who will customize a trip especially for you and be 100% transparent about costs, then e-trip africa is the way to go. Ben and Auriele answered our numerous questions in detail, listened carefully to the kind of experiences we were looking for, and worked with us to design the perfect trip. All of our connections, transportation, and camp visits worked out exactly as designed. Ben met us at both the beginning and end of the trip and provided great information. Hoping to go back to East Kenya next year, they will be our first call. Thanks for everything, it was the trip of a lifetime!

Excellent travel package to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater. Best accommodations and services.
Tanzania Travel Company was able to arrange a two night stay for me and my son. Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro crater was obvious for me because I have been there before, but the accommodations were beyond my expectations! Endoro lodge was excellent place which I would recommend for couples. Acacia Farm lodge sealed the deal as one of the best place for family , couples too!
We had an excellent tour guide arranged by Tanzania Travel Company. The guy simply knows every creature that lives in the crater, I will go again soon!

Unique experience
We did a safari in June and visited the major parks ( Tarangire , Ngorongoro and Serengeti ) . We spent 4 incredible days. The guide was attentive , super informed. The lodges suggested by Louis were even better than expected. We recommend !

Really really good.
Everything on this package booked with Robert of karibu safaris exceeded our expectations. The guide Tom was exceptional, He was very knowledgeable of the areas we visited and made the trip a pleasure. The accommodation for all three nights were at 4-stars lodge and the package original said 3-stars. We also had excellent Kenyan local/ traditional dinner (not included in the package ). There were numerous excursions that added to the experience. We priced other companies package and this was by far the best for the money. Highly recommended.

Gorillas are stress-releasing animals.
I had stress from a past relationship so I decided to take a trip to Uganda just to go do some gorilla trekking. When I saw these animals and how they enjoy themselves. I just started smiling and laughing all the way. This was the most stress rehabilitation that I have ever experienced. I came back to London stress free Thank you Gorilla Tour Booking Safaris. Indeed, I enjoyed the journey.

Simply the best!
I don't think I can truly say how great African Scenic Tours were in leading us up the Mountain! From the moment the driver in his Arsenal shirt met us, I knew it was going to be OK.
The team (and please forgive my terrible spelling of their names) led by Ammay, were just simply the most professional, kind, inspiring, funny and encouraging team I have ever had the pleasure of being part of.
Ammay was amazing, Antipas was quite simply a life saver, professional, funny and encouraging all the time. Without Emmanual who got me up and down safely, I personally would not have made it. The food was good, the tents clean, the toilet (thank God we hired that!) and ALL of the team were just FABULOUS. They ALL encouraged us, laughed with us and met us in the dark when we were running late (which was often). We were so well looked after when we arrived at camp. The tents were unzipped from us and our walking poles taken off us and put in the back of our tents. Honestly... nothing was too much trouble for any member of this team.
Rapheal woke us up every morning with lovely ginger tea and warm water to wash in as well as serving us every day. He even filled our water bottles up with hot water to take to bed in the cold nights - what a star!
I will have no hesitation in recommending AST to all my friends and family who want to climb Mount Kili.
Thank you once again for all your efforts and for the great team you gave us.
What an experience, what a challenge and what a memory!
