good in general, my favourite is the gorongoro crate.
I like the whole trip, 4 days is definitely enough for me. I don't see there is a reason to have a longer trip. We are quite lucky to see all the rare animals including leopard and rhinos.
Take away food was like meh, so don't expect too much on the lunch side.

Very interesting tour to Soweto!
I had a very interesting morning with Sello, bringing us to Soweto. Sello explained a lot and answered to all of our questions. During the morning we have been given an impression of the history and also current life in the area of Soweto. Definitely recommend to all guests, with just a few hours time, but want to spend them well :)

High cost performance！
Overall, it was a pleasant journey, especially because of the nice cost and the good quality of the resorts and camp! But still, some aspects for improvement e.g. inadequate information of guide are sent to us only one day advanced after repeatedly urge. Moreover, we choosed miniVan but it seemed to old, the tire and battery of the Van both failed in the road, we waste many times to fix it up. In all, the journey of Kenya is worthy！

Such a diverse range of experiences - from scenery to coast, wildlife, culture and hiking.
Namibia is a very large country - we only got a taste of everything in our 8 day visit. But there's a wide range of activities and opportunities - towns, national parks and coast. Sossusvlei was an amazing place - we climbed both Dune 45 and Big Daddy. Note, if you're planning to do this, you need to take extra water with you - Big Daddy is an epic climb, but so worth it, for the views and for the enormously fun descent straight down the side into Deadvlei! This dead valley is stunningly beautiful, although that sounds like a contradiction when you consider it's just dead trees in a mudbaked plain - but, truly, you have to see it to understand what an impact it makes. We stayed at the Namib Desert Lodge - one highlight was the sunset safari, culminating in a cliff top bar being set up for us, complete with wide range of alcohol and big platters of beautifully presented nibbles!
We visited Swakopmund, but didn't have time for any of the sea activities - however, the town itself is well worth a walk around. The architecture is interesting, with the German heritage, and we found a terrific bar - Bar Zonder Naam (the Bar Without a Name) - and also ate at the Blue Grass Restaurant, where the food and atmosphere were equally good. It was just a shame it was foggy and raining, so we didn't get the sea views! We did visit the Crystal Centre - again, well worth it, some stunning displays of a huge range of crystals, all mined in Namibia.
Our final destination was Etosha National Park, where we stayed at the Namutoni Lodge. Such a nice place - a good restaurant, swimming pool, clever design of the accommodation, with palisades around the front and back of each room, so you feel as though you're in a native compound or village. There's also a viewing platform overlooking a watering hole - great for a sunset visit to see the wildlife, while drinking a beer. We went on several safari drives - one memorable moment was when nearly 30 elephants slowly made their way past us, at a watering hole, and lined up in one long row to drink. Lots of zebra, impala, springbok, oryx, wildebeest, kudu, warthogs, some glimpses of leopard and rhino. But, most memorably - lions. Or rather, one lion and his mate, relaxing under a bush.
One small thing to note - most of the public toilets en route require a payment of just 2 or 3 rand. Also at the supermarket and restaurant carparks and petrol stations, it's customary to give 3-5 rand to the parking and fuel attendants. This means you need to change a larger note down to small notes or coins, so you have a kitty.
Obviously, if you have longer to visit, you could see more, or stay longer in one place - we did cover a lot of miles in a short space of time. But it's perfectly do-able to get a really good taste of Namibia in a week, with a night either end to allow for flying in and out of Windhoek.
Overall, we had a really lovely time - Namibia is certainly a great country to visit.

Great experience!
I recently had the most incredible safari experience with Inkende Voyages, thanks to our amazing guide Racheal. Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable about her country and its wildlife, but she was also so passionate about promoting women in tourism. It was truly inspiring to see someone so dedicated to empowering women in such a male-dominated industry.
Racheal kept us entertained throughout the entire trip with her fantastic stories and insights. There was never a dull moment with her around. She had a knack for sharing interesting facts about the animals we saw, as well as the history and culture of the local communities. I learned so much from her and felt like I got a real taste of the beauty and richness of Uganda!
Thank you sooo much Racheal and Inkende Voyages! We will definitely come back!
With that said, I highly recommend Inkende Voyages for your Uganda safaris. You can trust that you will have a great experience of a lifetime just like we did!

Nice Tour for Safari Starters
The Safari was our first and well organized. The contact from killpath was always available and very kind. We booked The 3 day basic camping Trip. I enjoyed The crater much more since in serengeti by that time in October it's lots of dry grasland and it's more difficult to find the animals and its a long and tiring drive. When they are found, almost all cars gather around them, kinda like in a zoo. Because of that, I would do it again but around January or Feburary and with one more day in Serengeti to get more North. But we still saw lots of animals with a really good view and our driver was reallly nice! The camping was in total okay. The food was good and we had enough water for all. I would recommend bringing a pillow and own toilet paper with you since that was missing.

A lovely time
Really easy to book and organise. I had accommodation the night before and the night after arranged and was kept up to date with the schedule and with any changes.
Pick up from my hotel was nice and easy and then collecting the others from the hotel went smooth.
Adventure Lodge in Hazy view was a lovely place to stay. Good food, comfortable and clean beds and really friendly staff. Overall a really nice experience.
Out safari guide Shadrach was really friendly and knowledgeable. We managed to spot so many animals! including hyena cubs and even a lioness successfully hunting an impala! I know this is partly luck, but Shadrach knew what to look for as the hunt was in progress. Had he have done anything different, we would have missed the event.
Safari with us advertise additional, optional tours (subject to availability), The lodge did not offer a night time tour, but by contacting the company, it was easy enough to arrange, and well worth doing too!
I also did the panorama route which was beautiful and I am so glad I did it. The sights are well worth a visit and we went to The Garden Shed for lunch and the food was delicious!
My only complaint is I wanted to book an additional tour for the morning I was going to leave which is advertised as optional with Safari with us. However, when I tried to book with the lodge I was told unless someone else booked also I couldn't go (or I'd have to pay double). Which I do understand, but I was quite disappointed. I was on the 4 day budget safari, with one day Panorama tour. For this I had one afternoon safari (around 2-2.5 hours) and one day safari (around 6am- around 2:30pm) and I paid extra for the night time Safari. Had I have known I would have booked the 3 day safari and skipped the Panorama tour. I would have liked more safari time included or guaranteed optional somehow.
But otherwise, the transport to and from Johannesburg to the lodge was comfortable and well organised and air conditioned! and there were enough comfort breaks. the hotel options were good, I stayed in the more budget friendly option and it was clean, tidy and comfortable. Overall, a positive experience.

Great safari for a great price!
Did the 5 night 6 day safari covering the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Parks. All very interesting and unique in their own way! Thousands of animals. Saw all the Big Five although the Cheetah was at a distance and the rangers were on top of her right away and we couldn't get closer. Did not see any leopards but were told they are rare anyway. My driver for the first four days was John and he was a good driver, very conscientious of stopping for breaks and refreshments. Not for the faint of heart! It's bumpy and some of of the trips are really long! That being said, the camps I found to be quite comfortable, the food was OK and plentiful! John was extremely patient when we got on a "Big One"! The fourth day however was an extremely long ride with a different driver named Stephen. Not as conscientious as John and we kind of breezed very quickly on the last day through the Amboseli. I would not recommend him for your whole trip. I had been wanting to do a safari my whole life so I'm glad I went with the Lenchada. It got us really into the bush! No luxuries, a great taste of Africa in the wild, came in and out safely and all on an extremely affordable budget! Great safari! Great Price! Thanks Alex.
