Review about Londolozi Game Reserve by Dennis Painting
I visited Londolozi many years ago, prior to it becoming well known, and it was a fantastic experience then, I believe it just got better over the years

Not to be missed
The wildlife in the south of the park was every bit as I expected it to be. Our one disappointment was not spotting any leopard.
We stayed at Berg en Dal and Skukuza and found the staff welcoming and the accommodation very good. I am aware some people expect more from the accommodation but we were more than satisfied.
We did self drive, which is what we enjoy, and found that there are adequate rest camps with refreshments and ablutions throughout the area.
I have been to the park on numerous occasions in the past and can never fault it. I will most definitely go again.
It was my wife's 2nd trip to the park and my 4 and 2 year old's first trip....they are still talking about it....need I say more?
When my children are older I will definitely arrange a morning or evening trip in the land rovers to enhance the experience for them
If you are contemplating a trip to the Park I have only one thing to say.....Do it!!

Review about South Africa by Dennis Painting
Conservation is a high priority in South Africa and there are many reserves and wild life parks through out. The bird life, fauna and flora are so diverse and often unique to the area that it is a country that has to be experienced

Incredible experience and wonderful organisation
Our safari trip was an unforgettable experience - so much better than I could have imagined. The company and our guide Anton was recommended to us by our friends and were are extremely grateful to them. The email communication with the owner was quick and smooth so when we arrived we knew exactly what to expect. Our guide was very friendly and provided us with lots of information durind the trip and Benson, the cook, took good care of our stomachs!
During the trip I understood what people mean when they say that the guide and cook can make your experience amazing or horrible - we enjoyed it so much because people take good care of us and that's why it's important to choose a good company and discuss all the details before the trip!

A first class Safary
Very recently ( first week of this month ) , I went on a Safari in Tanzania with Wisdom African Safaris, from Ngorongoro to Northern Serengeti. Here are my comments about this trip. First what l did see : all kinds of wild animals , specially lions , zebras and wildebeests. What i didnt see : cub lions and hienas . What l saw very little : rhinos, only one from far away ,too bad that they are being decimated by the poachers. Overall was a great Safari and our guide, Gideon was excellent, very knowledgeable and very patient. Top on my list was seeing the animals crossing the Mara River, and out of two days there l only saw it for about ten minutes on the first day. lt was not much but was better than nothing, l heard stories of some people being there for two or three days and never seeing it. Sometimes you see a large number of wildebeests approaching the river, looks like they are going to jump and than they go back, maybe they saw some crocodiles, who knows, than they may cross the river next day or go to another spot further east or west. Anyway , my Safari was an unforgettable experience.

Fantastic!
Easy travel facilitated our holiday in Tanzania that we booked at Matoke tours (the Netherlands). Gilbert Mariki was our guide/driver, and thanks to him we had a fantastic experience. Gilbert has extensive knowledge regarding animals/nature and culture. He was great company and took excellent care of us.

Best wildlife holiday ever
I am not one to write big raving reviews, but we just returned from our honeymoon, the first part of which we were lucky enough to spend with a Maasai Wanderings guide who made our time extra special - not only was he extremely genuine with a great sense of humour, patience and character. But the natural passion he maintained for the job was evident - he must have seen hundreds of big cats yet he was still getting excited by seeing something new. His reading of animals' behavioural pattern was second to none - on at least half a dozrn occasions he made the right call on where to put the car, and crucially, when. The best example is this: we tracked a female lion over the course of 45minutes, to her leaving the pride, to watching her kill a zebra around 25-30 away from our car - we were one of 2 cars out of 24-25 in the vicinity to watch the kill -- as all others were expecting the kill to happen elsewhere. The other car to witness the spectacle?--another Maasai Wanderings car!
A couple other examples of how our guide went above and beyond what we could/would have expectsd of him: our camera charger's fuse got blown in one of the camps--our guide set about repairing it himself. On the final day at Kogatende airstrip, as confusion reigned supreme as to which bush plane was flying where, our guide managed to offer us not one, but to alternative planes to take us to our next destination! so it was our pick which one to fly with!. Could we ask for anything more?! i dont think so. All in all, having had experience with other wildlife tour operators on various continents, i can reassure everyone that Maasai Wanderings are one hell of a company and you will be in the best of hands.

great experience
I highly recommend the Company. We loved the experience.
Our driver had a huge knowledge about the animals, always trying to find nice things to see, and being very patient and we want stop to take pictures.
Our cook (Eric) was excellent as well. His food was delicious.
Both of them were very kind.

Efficient, knowledgeable and friendly
Vayeni put together a tour for a group of 12 colleagues to travel around Zimbabwe. We only had time for the highlights so the itinerary was packed, but we saw a huge amount in one week. Vayeni were brilliant from the start: meeting everyone at the airport (despite our different arrival times), recommending and booking ideal accommodation in the best locations, and looking after us every step of the way. They arranged our bus, helped us design the route, gave us lots of suggestions for activities, guides, and even the best restaurants to visit! Zimbabwe is a stunning country, an absolute gem, and has the friendliest people in the world. We are all keen to go back soon, and can't thank Luke and Suzanne (and their team) enough for such smooth organisation.

Simply one of the best tour operator in Kenya
I booked a 4day Masai mara and Nakuru safari on August with Bison safaris and I have to say that they are the best at what they do. Our tour guide had great experience of the jungle and knew exactly where and when to stop for us to take pictures. Margaret our tour organizer advised us to choose what I believe is the best safari ever. I will be back in December for another amazing adventure with you guys. Thank you.
