Gorilla trekking is somewhat hard work but worth the effort.
Bwindi impenetrable forest is really a very beautiful forest. I know it’s not called impenetrable for nothing, the forest is huge and so thick but it has nice sceneries. When I realized that I was going to do a gorilla trekking safaris through the same forest, I was a little scared but excited at the same time because I didn’t know what to expect.
Trekking the gorillas is somewhat hard work but you are most certain that you shall find them. A bit of advice is you need a porter unless you are definitely in shape because you shall be required to toil steeps as you looking for these mountain gorillas. We were given one hour of watching but I enjoyed every second of this hour. Many times, I sat their taking photos and wondering at these great creatures. The weather was fine although the jungle was damp most of the time. It was a great journey worthy all my hard-worked dollars.
absolutely excellent from the horses, saddlery, route, food to leadership shown by Andrew the guide
I can only rate the whole experience as "excellent" so muchnsomthat we will return for our 3rd ride next year

Disaster
Confirmed a 10 day safari holidays with Lilac Adventures for Kenya and Tanzania online, did not meet any representative from Lilac only met the freelancing Tour Guide/Driver. At every game drive Park Entrance me and my three friends from Canada and US had to wait for hours for the Entrance fees to be paid since Daniel MD of Lilac had not paid the fees. Also while crossing the border from Kenya to Tanzania had to wait for 3.5 hours to be transferred to another vehicle for Tanzania safari with another tour company in Tanzania. Most of our time in this trip was trying to communicate with Daniel the MD of Lilac Adventures who never called even once after sending several emails while over there. Finally our last three days in Tanzania was in a Resort in Manyara since the tour company in Tanzania did not receive the cash for the Park Entrance fees from Daniel. Would highly recommend to avoid using this Tour company.

Tailored to meet all our needs
Since our first contact for information via email, I was pleasantly impressed by Around Africa Safaris' prompt response, clarity of information, good value for money and eagerness to meet our needs. This is why we chose them over the other offers we received. It is always a gamble, but the tour turned out to be perfect -- from our first pick-up up to the very end. The driver was extremely polite and reliable, always available to respond to our queries and requests, very informative without being pedantic, friendly but never intrusive of inquisitive.
We really enjoyed the route taken, the scenery and all the animals we saw, and absolutely fell in love with the Katara Lodge recommended to us while doing the booking of the safari. Stunning location and accomodation. Had we known, we would have stayed an additional night!
Thank you again to the Around Africa Safaris team!

Awesome safari!
We had a fantastic time on our safari with Safari Big 5. Our guides were very professional and knowledgable, the vehicles were nice and most importantly we saw tons of wildlife! I would highly recommend Safari Big 5.

An incredible adventure across the Namib Desert.
This was an incredible trip. The horses and guides were fantastic; there was lots of fast riding and the scenery was spectacular. I would definitely recommend.

Perfect Safari Operater
I am not having word to share experience of safari, service provided by kenya walking surviviours safaris ltd was mind blowing, great experience, its value for your money.

Any time i plan for africa country i will like to go with kenya walking surviviours safaris.

Expert knowledge, great service
I have used African Experts to organise a couple of safaris for me now and both trips were faultless, so much so that I have chosen to work with them in future organising my group safaris. They were knowledgable about the areas I wanted to visit and my photographic needs and I felt in safe, indeed expert, hands. They were also lovely and efficient to deal with. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Great 3-Day Safari through Chobe
We found the process of booking with Africa Zim easy and simple. All our questions were answered and the info was clear.
They picked us up promptly on day 1 and drove us to the Botswana border. From there, we met up with our our tour guide and had a wonderful three days of boat cruises down the Chobe River and game drives. We saw hippos, elephants, crocs, tons of antelope, leopard (!), lions, wild dogs, honey badgar, countless birds and some others I'm sure I'm forgetting.
It was non-participation camping, which was lovely. The food was delicious and much better than a previous safari trip.
I would highly recommend.
Just note that the actual tour is run through another operator, Khahlari Tours. But if you're coming from Vic Falls, Zim, then Africa Zim will set everything up for you and get you there.
