It was a well organised trip. Our driver/guide John was extremely competent and considerate.
We were very well taken care of. The organiser and the driver needs special mention. It was a dream safari trip. Thanks!

I had a great experience with Gorilla tours and would highly recommend them.
I had a great experience with Gorilla tours. The Gorilla Valley Lodge was great, Ronald was awesome and even the driving was not too bad and afforded an opportunity to see some of Uganda on such a short visit. Punctual and professional service, an appropriately robust vehicle, accommodating and friendly driver, plenty of water and even a stop at a village market.

An extremely beautiful camping-safari.
The first safari started in Arusha National Park. A wonderful green park, here we went on a leisurely safari-hike with a ranger. We stayed the night at the campsite of this park. We were welcomed by giraffes which were walking in front of our car on the campsite. The next area was Monduli Juu. We took a beautiful walk with a Maasai guide. We spent the night at the Monduli Juu bushcamp. The next day we went to a Maasai village which was very impressive.
Next, we left for Tarangiri National arkP. We stayed two nights at this campsite. By day we enjoyed the game drives. We saw a lot of wildlife (amongst others: wild dogs, cheetahs, lions and a leopard.)
The next park was Serengeti National Park. We stayed at the campsite for three nights. It was a lovely variable environment. During the game drives (also at sunrise) we saw many active animals. It’s wonderful to see how animals live in their own surroundings. The last night was spent on the Ngorongoro crater. Here it was quite a bit colder than at the Serengeti. The following day we did a game drive in the crater.
All of the game drives were splendid and well organized. We saw many wild, big and small animals. Also the various birds were very impressive. It was quite an experience to sleep in a little tent at a campsite, surrounded by the sounds of animals. Our Maasai guide, Olly, was a good guide who could tell a lot about the animals and the flora of the parks. Very informative. He always gave us plenty of time to observe things very well. Our cook, Danny, provided us with delicious meals which differed every day. It was a trip we will not forget and that is why we recommend African Wild Cat to everyone.

Fantastic!
We went on a 2 day tour to Murchison Falls NP and the Rhino Sanctuary at Ziwa and absolutely loved it. We stayed at the Murchison River Lodge, which we would definitely recommend. We really loved the hike up to the falls, the game drive in the morning and the visit to the Rhino Sanctuary. David was our tourguide and one of the best we have ever had, would definitely recommend booking this trip with Grassrootz.

Fantastically planned 6 1/2 weeks in Africa
Encompass Africa was fantastic in the planning of this epic safari. We just let them know the dates we wished to travel and the places we would like to visit. From there they articulately planned everything for us. Everything was planned to precision from the pick up transfers, internal flights to the individual safari camps, an exclusive tour of Tanzania for just 2 of us and a small group tour with 6 of Namibia.
We travelled from Kenya through Tanzania (including Zanzibar), Namibia, Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls), Botswana and South Africa. The accommodation booked was great and we were also staying amongst the wildlife in luxury tents (the very best of glamping I would say) and luxurious guest lodges where the staff were very friendly and hospitable.
We cannot recommend highly enough the way in which Jonathon Wilson and the team at Encompass Africa made our African Epic Safari such a memorable holiday of a lifetime.

Great Journey
Allan arranged a complete 7-days safari. Even the timings were too tight, the overall experience was fantastic thanks to Simon our guide/driver and best friend for a week!! The program was not realistic with the driving distances considering Kenya's traffic and roads’ quality. Simon was the superhero who was driving from Tsavo to Naivasha for 6h and still have energy to find the rhinos and make us laugh!
Our choice combined luxury and budget palaces which all of them were as expected. We only missed to have a cooler box to store water in the van and some guide books to get more info of the fauna and flora. We will certainly repeat the trip with Simon, but I strongly suggest spending at least 2 night in each place to have time to rest and enjoy the Loges facilities which are amazing.

Review about Sabi Sand Game Reserve by Jose Reck
Sabi Sands is probably one of the most incredible places to see wildlife in the world. We have seen a couple of leopards about 2m of the car... Probably the place in the world where you will have the highest chance to see this elusive feline... Also, you can get very close to hyenas, rhinos, elephants and several birds...
