Review about Tarangire National Park by Gabriel Estrada
We saw boababs and lions there. The place to have lunch is very clean and comfortable but there are a lot of monkeys stealing your lunch. Bathrooms were very clean too.

An amazing experience viewing the wild animals in the beautiful Maasai Mara.
The Maasai Mara is a 6 hour drive from Nairobi and half of this is on rough or non existent road but well worth the journey. It was supposed to be the rainy season but we saw little rain which is not good for the animals or crops. Our guide John was fantastic, he ensured that we saw as much of the wildlife as we could possibly see, unfortunately we missed out on the rhino of the big 5. We visited the Maasai Warrior village where we were made very welcome and we were able to view the traditional way of life and meet the villagers. We stayed at Sopa Lodge where accommodation and food were excellent. The scenery was breath taking, so beautiful, it was a fantastic trip.

Amazing place
Tanzania is amazing. We went to Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Mayara on May, 2019. These places are so beautiful, the landscape and the animals that we saw were incredible. We saw 4 of the big 5, unfortunately the leopard is very difficult to see. The roads outside the parks are very good and the hotels are also very comfortable and clean. May is rainy season so the parks weren't crowded of tourists.
The only thing that wasn't that great was the fog on the crater rim because of the rainy season. Also, the roads on the crater rim were moody so it was a difficult ride to our hotel in the rim.

Exceptional Adventure
Namibia is a friendly and beautiful country, and I enjoyed all aspects of my two week adventure there. My only caution is that it is an adventure. This is a desert country and much of the time you are truly remote.

One of the best week’s of our lives
Our week of camping safari with Vincent as our guide was extraordinary. He has an uncanny ability to find wild animals, and tremendous knowledge about them. He is also kind, funny, relaxed and so competent to manage any situation in the bush. The camping is real tent camping, but the crew does all of the work. It was relaxing and very comfortable for us, and you just can’t compete with evenings of star gazing and nights of listening to a lion roar or
Hyenas making their strange call. We were fortunate to see an incredible variety of animals and birds, many very close by. We came upon a pride of lions that had just killed a young zebra, and they were so exhausted that they lay panting for a long time before the dominant female started to eat. So many elephants (and the babies!!!), zebra, impala, wildebeest...you name it, we saw it! And one more thing: our luggage was lost on our way into the country. Tony and his team worked incredibly hard to locate the luggage, and finally took us shopping for necessities when we could not locate our bags. And two days after we started our safari, all of a sudden two members of Tony’s crew showed up with our missing luggage, after driving for many hours to catch up with us! You can’t beat that kind of service, and yet you won’t find a more economical Botswana safari than this one. Thank you Vincent, Tony, and crew!

Top trip ever. Alex was very eager to find all the animals for us. We've seen big five and much more
It exceeded all my expectations. I've seen so many animals, even the jaguar and white rinos. The accommodations are nice and comfortable. Alex was the best animal tracker ever.

Spectacular Experience
Our experience with Kenya Walking Survivors was excellent. Quick response by Mr O and his staff when emailed any questions prior to our arrival. Our drivers Benson and Godlove were great. We spent the most time with Benson and truly loved him. My own backpack didn’t arrive and when we finally got the airline in motion to get it delivered to us in Masai Mara several days later Benson went the extra mile for me to get it back. We were moving on to our next destination the next morning and i truly don’t think i would have ever seen it again had it not been delivered that night. After a long all day game drive we were all tired as I’m sure Benson was as well. He drove to get my bag without really knowing if it was even going to be there. It added another 3 hours to his already long day. I truly was so grateful for that. He was also knowledgeable and very respectful of the wildlife during our game drives yet still giving us the best experience ever. Our accommodations were exemplary. The food was absolutely delicious. This trip was everything we had hoped for. Africa has not seen the last of me. I travelled with two friends this time and have every intention of returning with my son. I would not hesitate to use this company again. Many thanks for a trip of a lifetime.

A wonderful travel organised by Wild planet Safari
We were very lucky to have our short tour from May 18 to 20, 2019 in Hwange National Park and Matobo National Park organized by Wild Planet Safari. Lance did not only answered my request very quickly, but also adjusted the whole programm in accordance with our wishes. We appreciate his flexibility very much! Lance accompanied us personally during the whole tour and took great care for everything. The two restaurants booked by Lance for our dinners are located so beautifully with a real ambient, and we, of course, also enjoyed our food very much. The game drive in Hwange National Park was unforgettable. I made some of my best photos there. We are also very grateful to Lance for all the first-hand information not only about the parks and animals, but also about Zimbabwe. Our tour ended in the hotel in Bulawayo, but Lance offered us transfers from the hotel to the airport without any extra charge for this service.
