Very friendly but driving too fast, elaborating too much on information that's not interesting.
Lamps was very kind and friendly, but we felt like he was elaborating too much on information that most tourists on the vehicle did not find interesting. Our suggestion would be for hom as a tour operator to ask what the tourists are interested in (e.g. big game, birdwatching, etc) before starting the tour to cater for their specific interests, instead of focusing for example on history when no one is interested in it.
He spoke a lot and provided a lot of information on each animal, but didn't provide time to take in the animals in silence and have the whole experience.
He was also speeding through on the dirt roads and swerving out for animal and car tracks which made a very bumpy ride for all tourists on the vehicle.

Botswana, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the zambezi were all an amazing experience.
The tour was value for money, we stayed at some amazing places and the food everywhere was brilliant. We had booked this holiday not wanting or expecting luxury. We wanted 2 or 3 star guest house/ lodges for the experiences. There we some last minute changes which really annoyed us ( in the places we stayed) some were an upgrade which we did not really want. Our guides for the whole trip were brilliant. I would stay at all the lodges again, but not sure if I would use the same company. However we all loved it.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by David L
The landscapes are wonderful. The drive down and drive up were fun to experience with the top open.
Yet, it feels like a zoo. If you have been on other safaris, I would recommend skipping it and just do the lookout at the rim.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by David L
There are some elephants. There are lots of monkeys. There are birds. The park itself is dying as the lake grows and kills the trees. The other part of the park seems overgrown. You really only see animals that are within 6ft of the road. If you have been on other safari’s, I would recommend skipping it.
The night safari is a waste as well.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Richard S
relatively fewer wildlife and not as fulfilling.

great hikes and people on the mainland, unpleasant in touristy areas
people on the mainland were absolutely lovely and very friendly, in Zanzibar the experience was the opposite - very insolent and everyone treats you like a bag of money. terrible flight coordination - your boarding pass, airport schedule and actual departure time are completely unrelated, resulting in unexpected change of plans as you go

Good but room for improvement
Overall pleased with our booking, but we experienced some minor conveniences.
For our first sunset drive, we got picked up about 1 hour late. And also, some of us chose to do the optional sunrise game drive the last day, which according to the program were supposed to be in Kruger. Instead we went to the same reserve as we visited the first night, which was a bit disappointing.
All our guides were attentive and listened to our preferences. Our Kruger guide, Lambs, made an extra effort for us to get to see the lions. We would highly recommend him.
The timbavati safari lodge was authentic , and we enjoyed our stay there. The food was good and the staff were friendly and very helpful.

Was communicative and nice
It was a nice trip, but too expensive. In the national park we barley saw animals. Just few giraffe and elephant. Even the time in the national park was way too short for this money. That was very disappointing.

Everything was good organised.
Sometimes it could be better explained what we are doing and what’s happening next. Also it would be nice when we arrived to get a quick change but there was no time for…we hat to get quickly to our safari. All in all ist was a nice time there. The service was good und the people are friendly.

Review about Hell’s Gate National Park by Kumar Ankur
Opt for a cycling tour. Can be skipped if doing Nakuru/Mara, as the gorges are closed.
