Review about Kasanka National Park by West Tribe
The abundance of wildlife is minimal when compared to heavyweights like the neighboring (relatively speaking, it took me 2 days to get from one to the other) South Luangwa National Park. However this much smaller park has an ace up its sleeve. Every year around the end of October, through to early December about 10,000,000 fruit bats gather from across central Africa and watching them take off at dusk and return at dawn is an unforgettable sight. Along with that the birding opportunities are great.

Great
We enjoyed the stay, and the choices that were made. Little mistakes, they did not take a good week off.

Tent safari in Botsuana- an very intensive experience of nature
Excellent guide and team (Spokes, Moses, Oti, Patrick). It can't be better.
We passed nine wonderful, exciting and interesting days with them.
Due to the flood in Moremi we need to avoid the campsite there and been sent to "Duncan's Camp", two hours away. These camp was unacceptable from location perspective, the more it was in a pitiable condition. You shouldn't offer this camp anymore, in everyone's interest.
That's the reason why the overall rating is only "good".

Peter is very hands on and accommodating in creating the itinerary; very competitive prices.
Very responsive in a timely manner. Always accessible if in need. They try to accommodate to our requirements. Peter is so nice and trustworthy. I find he will match any rate I get and in fact gets better rates. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience
Communication between me and Africa Savanna Travel was good from the beginning. I had no hassles when i needed information. Response was quick and they showed patience with me as I kept changing arrangements. The stay at the lodge was lovely. The service was good. The panorama tour was amazing. Beautiful experience. I would definitely do it again and include the Kruger National Park drive. Thank you so much to the team.

Review about Golden Gate Highlands National Park by Lilian Ruzius
The scenery is beautiful, hiking in the park is great. Wildlife: Zebras, Blesboks, Wildebeest and lots of beautiful Hanestaart Wildavink birds. If you just come for the red colored mountains I advise you to go to Blyde River Canyon as this area is more spectacular.

Review about Kruger National Park by Lilian Ruzius
The wildlife is great in Kruger and it was the only place where we saw the Lions and Giraffes. You can drive in Kruger for hours to see or don't see the animals as there is a thick vegetation and the terrain is flat. My advise take a game drive so you will have your views from a higher position and the rangers contact each other about the wildlife so you will see more on your trip.

Once you started the tour it was Very Good. You just need to get past the office.
My husband and I were travelling for 2 1/2 months before we arrived in Cape Town. Before we left we got in touch and asked if there was any other information that was needed. We were told they had everything and an itinerary would be sent to us 60 days prior to arrival. We had to ask for this 3 days before arrival. During those 2 1/2 months on the road we were asked 3 and 4 times for the same information and sometimes by the same person. When I complained I was told that several people had to touch the file and sometimes things got lost. Information requested were flight arrivals and departures, emergency numbers etc. We then received a charge for $250 and were told this had to be paid before final arrangements could be made. After many emails we found out that a flight had been charged to our account that was not ours. Each email we sent we asked for confirmation and most of the time did not receive it. After many emails about flights the office still did not send the correct information to the guide that was waiting for us. We spent another hour at the airport waiting for this to be sorted out. It was very frustrating and we were concerned about the complete trip.
Then the guides took over. They were wonderful. The accomodations were good and the guides were knowledgeable, courteous and bent over backwards to help you out. The meals were fantastic and actually too much. We decided not to go for dinner one evening because we were not hungry. I think it would be best for us (not everyone) if you just had 2 big meals a day and a snack. We spent many hours in restaurants. The restaurants were wonderful but sitting and waiting 2 hours for lunch was not for us. You could pick anything off the menu so everyone was satisfied. The tours were great and the adventures were over the top.

A Well Organised Safari
Vessel Africa organised a two week safari for my wife, my 10 year old daughter and me. The safari was well organised with suitable transport and excellent lodges covering a variety of aspects of Kenyan countryside and wildlife. Nothing went wrong and we came away very satisfied. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Amazing animal immigration tour!
Me and my friend booked this tour a few month ahead before we went to Africa. The total length of the tour is 6 days and 5 nights, we changed 3 times for accommodation during the trip because the places to see animals are quiet far from each other. It was so great to see so many wild animals, we saw lions, cheetah, flamingos, wildebeests, elephants etc in person! It was shocking by seeing them in real life instead of on TV programmes because they were so beautiful. And because of it is a private small tour, we had our private guide who's very friendly and helpful. We changed our guide for twice but both of them were very nice, nothing to complain. If there is anything that wasn't so perfect was the time traveled between destination to destination was way too long. I remember I spent almost 12 hours on the van one day for travelling and I didn't see any animals in that day, it was frustrating. And the accommodation wasn't very good to be honest, the last accommodation was horrible. They told us 3 days before we arrived at the camp there was a lion stopped by, and a week ago a group of elephants got too close to the camp that everybody stayed there had to leave for a while waiting for the elephants to leave. And the hotel was very poor. But consider it was in the Masai Mara reservation it's reasonable. After all we don't want human civilization be so close to that area of pure nature.
