Hassle Free, great dining and close encounters with many wild animals!!!
Landed in one of the cold months, needed good wind barrier - warm garments early morning and night game drives - freezing in the morning. (The Guides etc had various blankets too aboard their vehicles..)! Left the vehicles to go on "foot" at a couple of places which definitely was a great experience .., got quite close to two Leopards on one occasion due to being quiet and down wind.. Simply fantastic to be there and see them approx 30 meters from where we stood! Saw many other animals too but the Leopards really will stay with me!!!
The food we had was great, dined on a different variety of meat each night, always a good selection of sides and puddings and at the places we stayed the service was second to none.
All our transiting to fro went without a hitch and well on time thanks to Robert...

2 days safari in Tanzania
It Started in Africa made me spend a beautiful safari in Tanzania. They just have been honest, flexible and professional, three features that made my time with them unforgettable. They are really dedicating to the customer and for me it has been impressive the starting communication by mail where everything has been with full transparency and open to my desires. They really know how to treat travelers.

Flexible and good planning, very satisfied
The 7 of us went from Zanzibar, but due to the flight company's arrangements we only arrived at Arusha at 3pm on our first day. But thanks to the director, Mike, experienced planning we were still able to see the most with our limited time. We went for a 4 day safari; it was the end of the wet season and the weather of our last two days were not very nice, but overall we were satisfied with what we were able to see (4 out of the 5 'Big Five', the leopard is always hard to see), and we even saw cheetahs on our very first safari day at Tarangire. Our driver and guide, Alias, is very knowledgeable in wildlife and had a very good eyesight (he was able to spot dung beetles rolling while driving 40 km/h!). This was our first safari and we had such a great time. I am sure we will go for more safaris in the future, but this very first time has certainly set the bar high.

Highlights of South Africa, Cape Town to Sabi Sands
Hello Kathi,
Just a short note to say thank you for schedule and arrangements for our trip to South Africa; everything was perfect from the "meet & greet" at J'Burg through to the final transfer back to J'Burg Airport.
There were many highlights but to mention just a few;
1. Cape Grace Hotel - we couldn't have picked a better Hotel for both service & location. The V&A Waterfront is fanatstic and close to eveything Cape Town has to offer.
2. Louis - spending time with Louis as our Tour Guide was an absolute pleasure. His knowledge of Cape Town and South Africa is superb, not to mention his easy going personality.
3. Leopard Hills - the true highlight of the trip. Everything was perfect, Accommodation, Meals, Game Viewing, etc. all exceeded our expectations. Dave, our Ranger was fantastic!
We have some wonderful memories and hundereds of photos from our Trip. I'm sure we wll be back for another taste in the near future.
Once again, thank you
P.S. Sun City was a little disappointing, my choice to visit there not yours. I did enjoy the golf course and The Palace but the rest of Sun City is very "family & childen"oriented.
exciting and a different experience
I think Kenya walking tours are good and trustworthy. What I liked best are the game drives in Samburu national reserve and MasaiMara. The tent were equipped with beds and showers, but there was no connectivity and couldn't send messages nor an wi fi. I admit the distances between one park and the other are too far and we spent alotof time on the roads, some of them really rough and bumpy which left me exhausted at times butin the end you'll find it was worth it.

satisfactory and interesting ,and a full time occupying programme
I found the managing operator as a reliable and trustful person.He adapted a full programme at an affordable price. He always answered my queries, re-assured me and satisfied my stay. The trips from one place to another are endless ,considering the distances from one place to another are far from each other. We always found people ready to welcome us with savoury delicious food which was able to make me forget the endless drive. A couple of times we found guest house which wasn't up to decent standard like no hot water and a broken bathroom mirror, no connectivity. One thing bothered us a little,is that you are imposed to leave tips to everyone who delivers a service which is quite impossible considering the many hotels.lodges and campsites, including the excursions, you visit. That is up to us to decide who deserves tips and how much you give. They frown at you or show you a cold shoulder if you don't satisfy their expectation. Otherwise I thank Walking safaris for taking care of us and made our saty in Kenya and Uganda a pleasurable one

Review about Cape Cross by Alec C.
It's a great location - but is marred by the fact that there is an annual seal cull there that really should be banned!
