Easy online booking
We were looking for accommodation within Kruger National Park during a busy time when no SA National Parks accommodation was available. Ruben from KrugerPark.com recommended Nkambeni Tented Lodge as it suited our budget and our preferred location. With Ruben's help, we made our booking completely online from Australia in about 20 minutes. This was good service.
Nkambeni Tented Lodge was ok but not spectacular. The buffet style evening meal and breakfast were good without being special. Each tent had indoor and outdoor showers and the furnishings were good. It looks like a lot of tour operators use this lodge as compared with independent travelers like ourselves. Insist on tents near the main facilities if you do not want to walk 100s of metres each way.

The Big Outdoors, and truly is Big
A beautiful expanse of territory with varied wildlife and a simmering vibe. The Serengeti has everything. Mornings are special, burning sunrises with hot air balloons dotted in the sky give a romantic flavour to the setting. One has to remind oneself they are still in wild unforgiving surroundings. The sun beats relentless at midday, but still there is "entertainment" with the daily business and survival of the animals. One thing that adds to the entertainment is the rush to happenings/sightings in park. This can seem unfair to the animals to be so voyeuristic, but it is the reason where are all there - to see nature, to see the animals to experience the big outdoors.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Geri & Paul
Lake Manyara has a more jungle vibe to it, being more treey. To see the tree lions is the prime reason to visit it.

Amazing Experience!
I had no idea what to expect when I set out for the safari. All I knew was that it was the most money I had spent on myself ever.
The end result was that I had the best time of my life! First class experience all round. Best money ever spent.
Thank you Luxury Safari Company....can't wait to come back.

Well organized trip to Maasai Mara in April
Me and girlfriend went on a lovely trip in Maasai Mara. We were a little bit unsure how it would be to on safari during the rain season, though we didn't see all of the big 5 and not the huge hordes of wild beast we saw lots of beautiful animals and lots of lions. One good thing about going in march/april is that we had the possibility to see baby lions, incredible cute!
Staying at basecamp were also a fantastic experince! If you are going there, make sure to ask for the Obama Tent it is just lovely!

Everything good except...
I knew before coming that this very short package (3 days including transfers) would not satisfy my expectations from a safari tour. But wanted to have an experience to be able to know what to choose, what to bring, etc for the next time that I plan to be at last a week. The trip served the objective.
It's not a joke, it's a safari with big five and lots of wild animals. very friendly staff. Good facilities.
Unfortunately when it comes to information and communication with organizers on the field it is very poor.
The reception doesn't know when the drive starts, from where you will be picked by the driver, even what time you have to leave.
No decent plan of the premises exists so after dark it is only by chance to find your bungalow.

5 day Kruger Park trip a great success that exceeded our expectations
The company was flexible when accommodating our dates and locations, made all the arrangements and connections, tours etc. were on schedule. It would have been nice to have a little more details about where we would be staying and what the experience would be like before the trip. Transport outside the park was very good and all the drivers exceptional - Jojo in particular deserves a mention as we learnt so much from him. Accommodations in the park at Skukuza were better than expected, air-conditioning a real treat and maid service tremendous. Outlook was the local operator and provided a well planned itinerary with enough options to give some flexibility. We were very lucky with all our game drives and wide variety of animals we saw, including rare wild dogs and a leopard.

Awesome!
Safari in Kenya in July 2015.
After a long search in Internet someone recommended me Bison safaris . Well I won't regret at all. Very quick in replying emails and attention to details is assured . I had the best trip of my life. We toured sweet waters serena camp, Ashnil Samburu, Lake Nakuru Lodge and Mara Sopa Lodge. Oooh and on the last day we got a surprise gift. The pendants remains so dear to us.
Thanks to Bison safaris team. See u in August for my migration trip.

Great Time in Uganda with Realm Africa Safaris
Very professional service, rapid response to my requests prior to my trip. The guide was at the airport at the expected time, very friendly and professional. He was great at spotting animals, knowledgeable about his country, and good company.
The company knew what was going on on the ground (i.e. that the ferry at Murchinson Fall was being serviced during my trip) and kept in regular contact with the guide.
An overall very pleasant experience and I can highly recommend Realm Africa Safaris.
