Incredible!
What a wonderful experience! Better than I ever expected.
We landed in Johannesburg late in the evening and were delighted to see that our Kanyazi tour guide was waiting for us.
He navigated us through the airport, the money exchange and got us to our hotel. The next morning we were taken to the airport to fly to Sabi Sabi.
I left a purse in the hotels breakfast room in Johannesburg. Our guide spent several hours and countless phone calls tracking it down.
He was always available for questions and helped make the time at Bush Lodge in Sabi Sabi effortless.
The staff, food, room and safari was exceptional. Everyone was so friendly and willing to do whatever they could to make our stay a good one. The Ranger and Tracker were filled with lots of information and interesting anecdotes. They were Super!
Before leaving for Victoria Falls we were provided with information about our transition to Zimbabwe.
Our Kanyezi guide did not accompany us. We were met by a guide from another company who saw to our needs whilst there.
The hotel in Zimbabwe was not as nice as Sabi Sabi. It was however adequate.
All in all I had an incredible vacation. Thanks to Sabi Sabi, Zimbabwe and Kanyazi Travel.

Review about Chobe National Park by Richard Godfrey
Great national park. Very clean with professional staff and wonderful wildlife. The restaurant was first class and the bar prices reasonable. Would have liked an overnight stay in the lodge. First Class

Review about Tarangire National Park by Gerard & Kay
Impressive and pleasant. Watching the elephant herds (matriarchal families) or the lonely bull elephants roaming and grazing in the bush was a memorable experience and somewhat relaxing.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Gerard & Kay
A must visit. All of the Big Five were present plus a lot more. The migration of gnus is a scene that one would never forget.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Gerard & Kay
The size of the crater, the natural beauty created by the volcanic irruption is impressive.

Great day out, good value. Loved the close up view of the wildlife.
Had a wonderful day out from Victoria Falls. All very professional. Easy transfer over the border with the right visa. The boat trip gave the better view of the wildlife. Very good value with a great lunch and comfortable taxi transfers. Would recommend the trip to anyone wanting to see great African wildlife and scenery.

A memorable experience
Visiting Tanzania was a memorable experience which exceeded our expectations. The Tanzanians that my wife and I met made the difference. It was their smiling faces, the welcome they extended, care they showed to make our visit enjoyable that made that difference. What a responsible attitude to allocate and dedicate so much of their country to enormous national parks where are preserved the rich fauna and flora, the wild life. The local tour operator, Naiman of Quest Horizon, who suggested and planned for us a "dream" safari, which included visits to 4 national parks (Tarangire, Ngorongoro conservation area, Serengeti and Lake Manyara). Among Naiman's excellent team members, Joshua and Gerald took us on a coffee tour which was a hands on demonstration of picking the coffee grains from the trees planted on the side of mount Meru, peeling the grains, roasting them, crushing into powder, and brewing an excellent coffee. Then Naiman’s appointed guide/driver Elisha, bilingual English and French, experienced, skilled in 4-wheel driving, with his professionalism and knowledge of the bush (not to forget mentioning his table cloth and supply of coffee for the picnic lunches among the wild …), helped us witness memorable scenes of the wild life, including the migration of more than 100000 gnus, their crossing the Mara river on their way south to greener pastures. In 8 days we saw, in their natural habitat, all of the Big Five (lions, leopards, rhinoceros, bush elephants, African buffalos), many of the other African bush animals, the unique birds, baobab and acacia trees, and a lot more, we stayed in very comfortable tented lodges, slept under mosquito nets while outside the tent we could hear elephants, hyenas and other animals roaming and to top it all, we visited a Maasai village and learned about this Nilotic ethnic group’s distinctive customs. We ended our trip with 4 days on the island of Zanzibar, in a chalet overlooking the Indian ocean, where again Naiman’s team member, the young lady, Witness organised for us highly interesting visits in the historical Stone Town, the old slave market, a spice tour, … In a word, outstanding vacation.

Very well organized!
We dealt with East African Voyage at the suggestion of a friend who lives in Tanzania. There are over 480 safari tour operators there and its very hard to pick one on your own. They have a reputation of being very fair to their employees and eco-friendly. We can't say enough good things about them. Our itinerary was very well laid out and they followed it to a "T". They were very flexible when planning it and had lots of great suggestions. Our guide, Alex, was awesome and we were so sad when we left him to continue on to other parts of Tanzania. We would definitely recommend East African Voyage and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. It was the holiday of a lifetime so we didn't want any problems and we were very pleased with them.

Safari of a lifetime from exceptional, trustworthy Africa McFlash
We selected Africa Mc Flash tours as we saw them advertised on the Guardian. We were looking for a long safari, for as little money as possible, with a trustworthy company we could rely on actually meeting us in Nairobi! We thoroughly recommend Africa MC Flash if these are attributes you're looking for.
Peter put us on an 8 day safari of Masai Mara, Nukuru and Naivasha lakes and Amboseli national park. We found this the perfect balance of safari types and locations and we didn't want it to end.
The accommodation provided for an EXCEPTIONALLY Reasonable price far surpassed our expectations, the Oldapoi camp, and safari lodges we stayed in through our trip were beautiful and luxurious.
Peter is a completely genuine, exceptionally helpful and reliable man, and we are extremely grateful to him and our guide Eddie for the lengths they went to to make our trip exceptional. We got engaged on the trip and Eddie helped me find the perfect opportunity to ask! Both guys made the trip very special.
Peter and our guide Eddie were such lovely chaps, we couldn't have asked to meet two nicer people and we hope we get to see them again one day!
