Personalised tour to Lake Bunyonyi, Uganda.
Matoke Tours were very helpful with our online booking of our tour and did all they could to meet our specifications. Our drIver Dan was excellent and drove us in a Toyota Landcruiser which coped well with some difficult roads. He was very friendly and good to talk to on the long journeys we took.
Once at Lake Bunyonyi we didn't need him much as we spent most of our time on the lake visiting Sharp's Island and other islands where we had gone on a family holiday in 1958 when we grew up near Kampala. However, he was very helpful when my brother decided to go gorilla trekking and obtained a licence at short notice and drove to the area and back. Many thanks for an unforgettable trip!

Incredible Density of Elephants
We were blown away by the number of elephants we saw during our trip to Tarangire National Park. We sat by a mud hole at one point and saw four different groups of elephants with 20-30 elephants per group come through and take a mud bath. In total we saw at least 200 elephants in just a few hours at the park. There are also many great baobab trees to admire. The variety of animals is fairly low and we didn't see much density outside of the elephants. We saw a few giraffe, zebra, and buffalo. The one word of caution I would give is to avoid East African Safari Touring Company (EASTCO). Our guide was rude, unprofessional, unsafe, and had terrible communication. The owner, Simon, was completely unhelpful when we brought complaints to him. But I'm sure there are many much better companies that can help you explore this beautiful park.

Masai Mara trip
Spot Kenya was 'spot on' whenever I wanted some info about the tour. Even made some last minute changes which they readily accommodated. Very reliable and responsible. The trip to Masai Mara was excellent. Very good driver and guide. Reasonable price for tour with budget accommodation (hot showers and decent warm meals).
Downside: The vehicle was little cramped with 8 people with lots of luggage in front and trunk.
If you are not looking for frills and want to enjoy the nature Spot comes well recommended.

Review about Tanzania by Subra
Tanzania is great but I would say it doesn't compare to Botswana or Zambia which offers more variety and exclusivity...however Botswana and Zambia seem more expensive.

Amazing kruger
For a Malagasy that come from a tropical biodiversity hotspot, Kruger was an amazing experience.
My dream to observe the big 5 became a reality.

Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by quineh
It is well situated not far from Johannesburg with very high standard accommodation all round the park. It is also situated not far from the Sun City complex which in its self is nice too visit for a stop over.

The Safari was memorable but the park is expansive and one needs more than a few days there.
The wildlife was great with a spectacular number of wildebeast and zebra. There were many lions as well but they all seemed pretty content just lazing around. Didn't see many young, but we may be early in the season. The scenery was ok, but it's mainly just plains. The weather was almost perfect....not too hot, not too cold. The camps are varied in services and amenities so make sure you do your homework. They range from camps with no running water to the Four Seasons.

Review about Arusha National Park by Subra
More dense with vegetation and so harder to see the animals.
