Fantastic safari destination which should be more welcoming at the airport and SGR train station
Taita Hills Conservancy is exceptionally well maintained and has a low density of safari vehicles. Travelling by train in 1st Class was very comfortable but I wish we had been informed in advance of the extensive list of prohibited items, which includes Duty Free, and the corrupt security guards that look for bribes. Nairobi is great for shopping, but Kenya does not offer VAT Refund for tourists; venturing outside the malls for a couple of specialty items was very stressful. The hotels we stayed in were excellent and had a large variety of food options.

Exceptional beauty and poverty.
I visited the western half of Uganda that is full of green and wonderful. Murchison and Queen Elizabeth National Parks provide the opportunity to meet lots of wild species, and In Bwindi Impenetrable Forest you can visit gorillas. The beauty of Bunyonyi lake is go beyond everything. The country is basically safe, the lodges are below European standards, but the surroundings and athmosphere make them unforgettable experiences. The Ugandan kitchen is really good with mainly pork, chicken, beef and fish dishes, and a lot of fruits (mainly water melon and ananas). While taking the long routes between national parks you can watch the villages, markets and people along the road.
Really enjoyable Kenyan experience although not all smooth sailing
We had a wonderful time in Kenya and we had a truly fantastic guide in Andrew that took us to the Mara and to Naivasha- we would genuinely have enjoyed to have been with him for longer. We enjoyed the tour that had been arranged for us and our friends by William although sadly at the very last minute our accomodation was changed and having been very excited about where we were going to, suddenly this all changed. The new lodge was ok but we would have preferred the original option.
The coast hotel that he booked us was excellent.

It was great tour, by very experienced tour guides.
It was a great tour visible to all animals in Murchison falls. We were able to see the rhinos in very safe manner. Abbi and Ceaser AKA the Mayor from Pakwak. Kept us laughing through out the journey with all the stories. Overall great!

available, but with some problems
The safari was very beautiful and intense, the guide was kind and the landscapes and animals seen were unforgettable. The only flaw of the Tour Operator was that they changed the accommodations after booking the tour

Pilanesberg is a safe area with beautiful landscape and a chance to see many animals during 3/4 days
Our combo Sun City / Pilanesberg was great. First two days at Sun City with the kids in this huge fun park and the Cascade Hostel delivered fantastic breakfasts. The family room was also perfect to check the activities of the kids in the other room. The wildlife park just at 20 minutes is true place for a safari with the big 5, with very few chance to see leopards, a shy animal. We recommended the Shephard's tree, well localised, great kitchen and professional guides here.

Good value and lovely experience
We really enjoyed our Safari from pick-up at Arusha airport through the parks and back. Our ranger (Ole) was friendly, knowlegeable and a good driver.
The campingsites were better than expected; and hearing the animals at night was so beautiful.
