A SAFARI TO REMEMBER
Our driver cum tour guide, Patrick, is quite knowledgeable about the Amboseli area and had all the necessary information for the tour. He was always punctual, courteous and very friendly too. The operations manager, Joyce was also very accommodating, she was patient and painstakingly answered the numerous questions I had before booking the tour. CATS Africa operated like professionals. Please keep up the good work.

Definitely a must see on your bucket list
Namibia is a barren country with vast expanses and a small population. The sheer size of desolateness leads to an eerie beauty that cannot be captured in photographs and humbles one with an almost frightening sense of mortality.
The tour was awesome and our guide Gideon was excellent. Gideon slaved from before sunrise to well after sunset to make our trip as comfortable as possible. The roads are rough and travelling times are long so a good guide is essential to break the monotony of the "African massage". Food was plentiful and the menus well thought out with Gideon cooking most of the meals over an open fire. The couple of restaurant meals were good. We did not see any of the "big five" wild animals but buck, birds and flora were in abundance. The trip to Na'ankuse just outside Windhoek to see the endangered carnivores was well worth it. Coming from South Africa wildlife was not our priority though. Accommodation on the tour was 3-4 star but in Windhoek I would only give it 2 stars. You need to research the accommodation in Windhoek else book your own.

Good service
We booked our train tickets for the SGR and a taxi to the train station with East Africa Shuttles and Safaris. Everything was arranged well and they arrived on time.

Exploring Uganda
We did a safari with seven students and wanted it to be as cheap and localas possible.
And Frank tried to listen and adapted the safari to our wishes. He made us experience the 'full' African life
For example we went camping in tents nearby hippo's and we ate food made by locals.
He is a very spontanous and experienced guide, knows a lot about the country and animals.
(Also he speaks pretty well dutch.)

David was excellent and looked after our every need
Safari tour was very good - unfortunately tour guide (who to be fair to Adventour was new and on trial - so perhaps will not be there for future travellers) was not as enthusiastic or engaging as we would have hoped for a holiday that is only something that most people do maybe only a few and possibly only once in a lifetime. That is why the rating is 4 rather than 5 star.
David however was excellent and absolutely committed to customer service and ensuring we had a great time. His knowledge and attention to detail was second to none.
We did see lots of animals including the big 5.

Well organized tour, good accommodation booked, amazing experiences with both Gorillas and Chimps!
This was a great, well organized safari. Eszra was very responsive to our inquiries. Our guide shared lots of information on the country, local customs etc. The accommodation provided was very good. The food was good at all the lodges - basic, but you have to keep in mind this is Uganda. We had amazing experiences in both Bwindi Impenetrable and Kibale National Parks. In Bwindi we had 2 gorilla permits - one for the north and one for the south. The troop we went to see in the South was definitely less habituated than the one we saw in the North; but still a great experience. The hiking to see the gorillas can be quite rugged with steep ups and downs and I would recommend that if you have ANY mobility issues that you hire one of the local porters to help you out. We were very fortunate to have very close encounters with the Chimps in Kibale. Uganda is a beautiful country but it does take a long time to drive in-between places as the road infrastructure is not that great. Give yourself plenty of time to explore the country.
