Nice safari, tricky prices, not so good accomodation.
The safari itself was good, living up to our expectations. The drivers were excellent. I have nothing to complain about the communication either, which was always immediate. However:
The lodges and hotels were kinda bad. Alright, we expect nothing of luxury when going for a safari in the savannah, but to think there was no water in the showers or toilets most of the time... also, the tents' build was rather poor and the buffet was nothing special. It's not like I cannot stand it as a young and adventurous man, but since the price was quite high, I doubt the overall accomodation provided was worthy at all.
Furthermore, there remains on me the bitter taste of having to pay some 100 euros higher than the price formerly agreed upon, without any official documents about it, under the excuse of "the currency value changes". Also, keep in mind the general phenomenon that, in Kenya, everybody demand a tip for the services they provide, from the tour guides and drivers to even the people approaching you on the road, offering to help you with directions.

Kili one day hike
Caesar our guide was on time and experienced at getting up the mountain for our day hike to the mandara huts. It is about 6 hours of hiking, and was pretty difficult for us (regular 10k runners). This is mostly because of the altitude, we live at sea level.

Exciting, memorable and greatest safari we have ever experienced. Great guide and bookings
The safari was well organised. Pick up was on time , driver guide was very cautious, friendly, courteous and patient to ensure we saw the wildlife. He explained to us all that needed to be known. We saw many animals and birds. Baboon safaris is the best tour firm ever. Kimana camp and ngulia lodge were also good accommodations

Amazing safari package
I booked a five days in Kruger package and everything was amazing. As a solo traveller, I really appreciated that transfer, hotel, food and tours were so well organised. I was great to just enjoy a so complete experience (for a so adjusted price) .

Fantastic Trip With Devine African Safaris
My wife and I contacted Devine African Safaris who helped us plan a last minute trip to Kibale, Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi parks in Uganda . From our first communication with Nicholas I knew I was dealing with professionals from the prompt responses and detailed information on the various options. Chris was our driver for the 5 days trip and he was amazing. He did great in Queen Elizabeth and Kibale and also arranged a shorter gorilla trek as we are not very athletic.
We thank Nicholas and Chris for our great experience in Uganda.

Very slow in responding
Have to improve their speed of communication and responding. Been several occasions without response and they kept customer waiting. Have know idea what is going on. First, I didn’t want to write about this thinking it is just one time and they are a small company. But it has been so many times and it is very annoying when I don’t know what is going on with what I have requested and I have already put down the deposit. To be fair for them, the lady who has been helping me has been helpful in answering the question but it doesn’t help when my message was sent and no one attended to the question for one week. They might be all on holidays but I am not sure if this works for everyone especially when it comes to business and we need to get something rolling for the trip in advance.

Review about Mana Pools National Park by Michelle Welch
Mana Pools is one of the most beautiful destinations on the planet. Waste disposal upstream and the relaxation of rules around fishing, motor boats and generators are threatening to spoil this once pristine relatively undisturbed ecosystem.
The animals and birds however never disappoint.

Review about Hwange National Park by Michelle Welch
Hwange is a vast area and requires patience and travel over great distances to see the wildlife. There is no fencing so the animals wonder over large areas.
We prefer to get away from volumes of commercial tourism so Hwange is the ideal place for us. We love it and will return as often as we can.
