Friendly, totally tailored to us and what we wanted, felt like royalty, absolutely fantastic.
Wildthings were fantastic; from the moment we started planning the trip, where they were extremely helpful and spent and enormous amount of time with us helping us plan, rethink and tailor our trip to ours needs with recommendations and alternatives that made sure we got as much as we could out of our budget.
The trip was flawlessly executed, the first year we went we travelled to the southern parks, Mikumi and Ruaha and then on to their tented camp in the Udzungua mountains. We had a wonderful experience, the accommodation was excellent, the days spent on safari fantastic. Without a doubt the best thing about the trip were the guide and cook, fantastically friendly and charming people who did their very best to make our trip unforgettable.
It was so good we went back for our honeymoon the following year.

Life-changing, life-affirming and one of the most beautiful places I have been to on Earth.
We had a true outback experience. Staying in the tent camp, the facilities were good but basic and the food was excellent. The afternoon tea was a welcome addition to each day! It was easy to fall into the natural rhythm of the place - we got up with the sun and tracked elephants, leopards, lions and many other animals while taking in the beautiful scenery. Days filled with 4x4 drives and walking tours with experienced, witty and knowledgeable guides - perfect! Weather was just right; a few cloudy days but always warm and enjoyable. The highlight of my visit was climbing up the ridge known as the ampitheatre and sipping a beer while watching the sun set on elephants playing in the river below. The game reserve was a lot greener than expected, due to visiting near rainy season time. Many interesting locations to visit that offer amazing views and a superb range of animals: Eagle Rock, Baobab Rock and the Ampitheatre were just some of the places I enjoyed visiting. Spotted some Marshall Eagles and European Rollers, which were amongst my favourite sightings (apart from the elephants of course!). I highly recommend a visit here, it's somewhere to be truly at peace with yourself and with nature.

A fantastic, once in a life time experience in a beautiful location packed with Wildlife
The reserve was accessed by a river crossing at the botswana/south africa border, which also marked the end of any tarmac roads. The 4x4 trip into the reserve was barely underway when the ubandant wildlife started to make an appearance, even without the animals and birds there the stunning scenory, of large expansive scrub and plains encompassed by large ridges. Over the two week stay my group spotted 100+ species of birds and over 30 mammal species and a variety of reptiles. Some of the most memorable sighting included close encouters with lions, giraffe and elephants and a slighlty more distant view of leopards. As I was located in a small camp outside of the main part of the reserve I cannot comment on the main accommodation and can only say that if the cooks were any near as good and as accommodating as ours then you will be pleasantly surprised whatever your dietary requirement

Fantastic - cannot wait to go back for more!
Everything - without exception - was fantastic about our safari. Impala organised a bespoke tour, catering to absolutely all our wishes, planning it perfectly and taking care of us every step of the way. Having never been to Africa before, we were a little nervous, not knowing what to expect and what problems might lie ahead. Now we know that we had no cause to for concern. Andre at Impala thought of everything and knew what we wanted and needed even before we did; so much personal attention and care, it was excellent. I would say that it was the holiday of a lifetime, except that we have decided to go back just as soon as we can. The whole trip was a dream largely thanks to Impala and I have already recommended them to many of our friends.

The best budget safari experience
I travelled with Red Chilli to Murchison Falls and to Queen Elizabeth parks and was really impressed. You don't get any sort of luxury - but for the price you shouldn't expect it. But booking it was really easy, the drivers are friendly and knowledgeable, the vehicle was reliable and perfectly fine and accommodation is budget but nicely done. Both trips were great - it's worth doing both destinations if you have the time/money. If you are after a budget trip I think these guys are perfect.

Best wildlife safari I have ever done
The crew and personnel of Jobovic Safaris was very helpful and responded quickly on all our enquiries. The guide, driver and chef was always friendly and knowledgeable for our requests and gave a service of higher standards than expected. The tour itself was well planned and we had the chance to take the best pictures ever. We had the opportunity to see all of the big five. Thanks guys, we loved it and will recommend you to all our friends.

Safari Selous Game Reserve, monti Udzungwa, Ruaha National Park
The communication with Roberto was excellent: he has tailored our safari program meeting all our requests. This was my 7th trip to Africa and, inevitably, we had special requests. Our guide Issa and the cook are very good: we have really appreciated wildlife and nature in marvelous and unforgettable places. In my opinion Ruaha is one of most beautiful parks in Africa, perhaps the best one.

Planning of the trip was excellent. Our expectations were more than met. The knowledge of wildlife, fauna and birds from Ryan is exceptional and we learnt and experienced so much.
Highly recommended tour operator and guide. Every detail was taken care of.

Thank you so much for the nice 5 days we spent in Tarangire,Lake Manyara,Serengeti & Ngorongoro
Hi Mike and Northern Circuit Adventure!
Thank you so much for the nice 5 days we spent in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Despite our car was broken at the end of our first day and we lost some hours in Ngorongoro Crater, everything was very nice organized and we got a new car the next day.
We have seen a lot of animals and also from very close, which was very impressive and exciting. Ben was a very good cook who served us really nice food every single day it was delicious! Also our driver/ guide Thomas he was the best!
According to our broken car, Mike gave us a free ride by Taxi to the Kilimanjaro airport – what we really appreciated! We will recommend Northern Circuit Adventure to our friends in Switzerland!
Thank you!

A wild place
My stay at Mala Mala game reserve was one out of three stays during a photosafari trip arranged by Stu Porter at Wild4 Photo Safaris. He had arranged this stay as the last on our tour and i can understand why. A better ending to a perfect week in the bush is hard to find. We stayed at Rattray´s on Mala Mala where i had the privilege to live in my own Khaya wich is something i can really recommend. These Khayas are simply wonderful and makes you feel like a king. The staff is very helpful and service minded and will always do everything to make your stay memorable.
Anyway, our main goal with this trip was to get as many nice safari pictures as possible and Mala Mala delivered that too. Our ranger Peter took really good care of us and as he also was very interested in photography he had a good feeling for what we probably would like to see. We successfully spotted the big five and lots of other interesting animals such as a pangulin for instance. We went out into the bush at 6 o clock every morning and brought our breakfast with us out to have it the Landrover. Being in april it was kind of cold in the mornings but the car was equipped with blankets so that was no problem. We then went back to camp at around noon to have lunch and do some downloading of our pictures and after that we went back out again until the sun went down and it became too dark for photography. We really had a lot of nice moments at Mala Mala during this trip and those moments will always stay in my mind. I hope i get to go there again sometime.
