Great option for your FIRST safari
Since South Africa has largely confined its large "safari" animals, there are three primary venues to see them.
Roadside Attractions - ranging from wineries to rehabilitation facilities these are very small, but intimate viewing options, but not pristine or very natural. We preferred the rehabilitation facilities since it seemed "less exploitive."
Small to Mid-sized Game Reserves - These offer a wider range of animals and relatively consistent viewing opportunities since the facility had a limited expanse of fenced-in land, along with a fairly natural environment. In terms of "seeing animals," these may offer the best "bang for the buck."
National Parks - These offer vast acres of land and the opportunity to see animals in their most natural setting. Of course, the large expanse may also mean less frequent sightings, but those sighting might be considered the "most authentic" of the three options.
Zulu-Nyala is a smaller game reserve, plenty of sightings, reasonably natural with enough other nearby options to keep the week fully occupied. We felt it offered what we wanted, a daily opportunity to regularly see the animals consistently, thus a solid "first-time" or "only" safari experience.

Must do Tanzania!
Ziggy our guide and David Maro of Kilislope Tours did a fantastic job arranging our 5 day tour. Tanzania has a magnificent beauty and Ziggy knew all the best spots to bring us to. A highlight for me was watching a 3 lion cubs nursing, a peaceful scene for such ferocious animals. Hope to come back soon.

Review about South Africa by Jayhawk80
One of the most beautiful countries we've ever seen.
For us...the perfect trip was Capetown, the wine country, the southern coastline, and safari experience.

Overwhelmed by excellent service beyond our expectations
Our family of 4 adults did a 12 days tour in Uganda which was our first safari. We found Mukisa Safaris during our pre tour planning to be so reliable, trustworthy , informative and curtious and we held very high expectations and I can happily say that Mukisa Safaris Uganda still managed to exceed our expectations. Email responses were always prompt and our tour was customised according to our preference. We were met at the airport upon arrival by the company representatives together with our guide and driver. Our guide Veronica was such an amazing, knowledgeable , informative and friendly.Of course not forgetting our driver John!!! Not only did we enjoy their company tremendously, but we always felt safe and well looked after by them. We opted for the luxury package and the hotels/lodges were amazing. We traversed Uganda's country side from Entebbe to the north east- Kidepo, Murchison Falls,Kibale , Queen Elizabeth National Park and to the South West- Bwindi; the home of mountain gorillas. We traveled by a Toyota 4x4 safari Van which was confortable equipped with all the amenities including the Wi-Fi and we were always in touch online with our family back home.
We highly recommend this company and their safaris!

Excellent choice of itinerary and delivery.....thanks Tim and the team
We'd been thinking about a safari for a while but decided to wait until our daughter was old enough to appreciate it - very glad we did. We spoke to Tim and told him what we'd like to experience and that was all we had to do!!! Tim advised us what, in his opinion, would be the most enjoyable for us and suggested how long we should spend in each destination. It worked out perfectly and each day felt like a new adventure with enough time to chill out but not so much that we felt like we should be doing something. I'd thoroughly recommend Buffalo Safaris to anyone that's thinking of seeing Uganda. Our guide Emmanual was very knowledgable friendly and keen to tell us about his country. Try the pineapples - they are amaaaaazing!!!!!

AMAZING SAFARI
We started in Arusha, the hotel booked by the travel agency was nice and very close to the city centre. We left the day after for the safari. We visited lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro ad Tarangire (only half day). it was our first safari and we truly enjoyed the experience. The driver (called China) was well prepared and he delivered in terms of animals (We even saw lion cubs). Travelling with us there was also a cook, food was much better than expected. The communication with the travel agency was ok, Margaret was very helpful and everything worked out smoothly.
Overall it was a great experience and we feel comfortable in recommending Uhuru Travel & tours.

An amazing philanthropic safari!
My experience with Dazzle Africa has been life-changing. From my very first safari trip with them six years ago till today still travelling with them. Their safaris are planned to perfection, not a single detail is overlooked. The relationships they have within the community in Zambia and witnessing firsthand the difference they are making through philanthropic efforts makes the experience all that much better. Having the options of visiting with their conservation partners and the local schools and villages in Zambia makes the trip so much more than just a luxury safari. Not only will you have an incredible safari experience you will become part of the amazing Dazzle Africa family.
