Review about Hell's Gate National Park by Sophie C.
Very dusty if you hire a bike. You have to stay on the track so get clouds of dust when vehicles pass.

A land of natural beauty and diversity
The most incredible holiday destination. Weather was amazing, there is a wealth of natural beauty and such a variety of things to wonder at from the penguins at Boulders Beach to the stunning peninsula of the cape of Good hope, being chased in our car by the crazy baboons! Our mini safari was so much more than we anticipated and was well worth it, seeing a variety of wildlife for the first time. The sunsets were incredible on signal hill and the Winelands were just stunningly beautiful. Our apartment on the waterfront was incredible and we felt safe throughout our visit. The vibes at the V&A night and day were chilled, amazing food, great value and singing seals. We topped off our trip with a sobering visit to Robben Island which is a must. This was my second visit to Cape Town and I can’t wait to go again

Amazing experience soaking in the sun, Wildlife and Indian Ocean in Kenya
We travelled independently for 3 weeks in Kenya but used Leopard Orchid Safaris for our 5-day safari, which was excellent. We loved the Maasai Mara and Amboseli NPs. Loved going to Elsamere where Joy and George Adamson lived, near Naivasha. Loved weather - though some rain would have been welcome during this severe drought. Great accommodation - high end places for low end prices. Felt much safer than I was expecting - although armed guards were a frequent site. Kenyan people were very gentle, softly-spoken and polite. Maasai culture very interesting. Diani Beach area for 4 nights was very idyllic.

Excellent trip in a stunning, exciting country
Spent a few days in Johannesburg - a city with an obviously troubled history, but I never felt anything other than welcomed. Tours of the city highlights and Soweto was intruiging and moving in equal measure - but never dull and the people were wonderful.
Five days on safari in Kruger National Park was nothing less than magnificent - animals in abundance and the guides find even the elusive species, even in the rainy season. Need to time it though, as rains flooded some of the park days after I left, so I was lucky. Stayed outside the park in the excellent Kruger Adventure Lodge at Hazyview - game drives from there with excellent guides. Panorama Tour also thrown in, and this was a stunning day touring spectacular coutryside outisde the park.
Then on to Cape Town, which was stunning and friendly, with great beaches (although water is very cold) and a busy, interesting town centre. An excellent day tour of Table Mountain, Boulders Beach and the pengiun colony there, ended at Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope - the traditional end of Africa, an incredible scenic and historic site which felt like the end of the known world. Simply amazing.
There is much more to see in South Africa than I covered, so don't limit your time there if you want to see it all!

Great Experience
Excellent safari, entertaining and passionate guide, we saw a wide variety of flora and fauna, we came to meet our target of the big five. We first met with the Rhinoceros in Ziwa Rhino sanctuary and later proceed to Murchison falls national park where we met the rest of the big four, it was a great experience I must say. Uganda is really gifted and blessed, next time am coming for gorilla trekking. I recommend this trip under this tour company.

We had an excellent experience with this company. Brian was amazing, helped us with everything we needed from activities to transport. He was very trustworthy and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had a great time. Couldn’t recommend this company and Brian more, they are fantastic!

Experience of a lifetime!
We're just back from our honeymoon in Uganda. We'd been planning our honeymoon for about a year through African Adventure Vacations. Robert was great at suggesting an itinerary and customising it to suit our needs. Also answering our many questions! We arranged everything through them.
Our guide Frank (who we highly recommend asking for) met us at the airport and from that point on was our expert guide (and fixer) to the country. He is really passionate and knowledgeable about Uganda and did a fantastic job in spotting all the wildlife whilst driving us around. He even managed to spot us the Big Five on our first day's game drive.
The hotels / camps suggested were all of a high quality. We enjoyed the variety of different styles of accommodation.
Highlight of the trip was definitely seeing the Mountain Gorilla's in Bwindi. Frank used his connections to set us up with a great family group of gorilla's that had two silverbacks (very unusual!) and two infants. It was such an amazing experience.
The whole trip was out of this world and lived up to all my hopes and dreams (I've dreamt of going to Uganda since I was a kid). It's given us so many amazing memories to last a lifetime.
I would definitely recommend African Adventure Vacations as an operator and 100% ask for Frank as a guide! We felt very lucky indeed!
