Review about South Africa by emanuelberger
For bush vibe we rather visit Namiba as it is less populated.

Excellent Experience - Will Absolutely Use in the Future
Our group of five had a one night stay at Vuma Hills Camp in Mikumi National Park. All of our communication in advance of our trip was clear, prompt and courteous. Given the quick nature of our trip, we had some unusual transportation requests which were met without any hesitation. Our driver, Michael, was excellent both on safari and in our transportation back to Dar es Salaam. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout our experience. I would highly recommend Kanuth to anyone traveling to Tanzania, and will plan on using them again in the future.

A very memorable trip was led by experienced, knowledgeable guides who also fed & sheltered us well.
We would recommend this group to friends and family (and we already have) for a great "African experience."
We were well informed on what the trip was, where we would be going and staying, what we needed as to the different countries currencies, visas, etc. One more day longer for sightseeing would have been great in the Savute area, but that was shortened due to another unforeseen memorable "adventure" near a bridge that used up the time. However, that means we just need to plan for another safari tour. :) We really did love the whole time we were on this trip.

unforgettable safari!
We chose Zohar African safaris after a lot of research due to the owners (Lilian) excellent knowledge and attention to details... and she is really nice :)
Lilian plans your private safari tailored to your desires and budget. She answered our questions quickly and clearly, and understood our preferences perfectly.
Our guide, David Dexter was great! He knows the parks and the animals behavior very well, which allowed us to see a lot of animals and witness many special moments.
Lilian worked within our budget and really made sure we got the most out of it. We Wouldn't had changed anything in the plan, The trip was amazing!
Thanks again Lilian :)

Can't Imagine Much Better
Did a 3 week tour of Tanzania and Zanzibar. We did a LOT of research before settling on Safari Hub and it paid off. We dealt with Victoria Snowman who did everything she said she would do efficiently and promptly. They were very accommodating and provided excellent service. This is not easy in Tanzania. Our vehicle and driver/guide were first class. I strongly recommend them.

Superb journey in Zambia and Botswana
Martin at Kingfisher created a wonderful journey through some of the iconic game parks in Zambia and Botswana. Once we decided on our itinerary, he arranged the travel between countries and provided excellent information to guide our preparation. Our guides and the lodge staffs were knowledgeable, friendly and made us want to return. We experienced the creature comforts of the lodges and the wonder of elephants walking through our camp during the mobile safari part of our trip. It was a wonderful combination and I couldn't have been more pleased with all aspects of this trip.

I think it was 1998 when I first travelled with Gorilkla Tours. And I keep coming back.
As I visit Uganda since 1992 I usually tell Virgo which route I want to take and at which lodges I want to stay and how much time I have. Out of this Virgp creates a tailor made safari. And as my brother told me last year, just when you think it can' not get any better then Virgo has arranged something special. A boat alone for yourself were nobody stands in front of your camera and where you have all the time in the world. The most important person of a safari is the driver, he is more of a manager and with Ronald Ssempewa you are taken care of. And even driving he sees everything first, fom Lion to northern carmie bee-eater. The cars are new and with the roof up your camera is free to swing around. Summary: accomodation, driver, management, price, and of course the people of Uganda, very good and very friendly. Goralla tracking you can do in Rwanda or Uganda, Virgo is getting you the permits and everything you need to know .

Brilliant, hospitable and memorable experience
We had a hospitable and brilliant experience. The communication from the office was good, updated us on booking progress and all was needed of us. All we did was to pay our fees and they did the rest for us without any hiccups. We just carried our bags and went to enjoy our holiday. Perfect warm weather and hospitable staff at the hotel ready to host us. We are also glad that the honeymoon packages were affordable.

A truly exciting, unforgettable, 3 week adventure from Cape Town to Zimbabwe and a slice of Botswana
Friends put us on to To Escape To after a highly successful holiday in Kenya. Our communication with the To Escape To team in Cape Town initially from the UK and later from within South Africa was a synch. It soon became apparent that the team had a really broad understanding of the African continent and further afield. Their advice and help was always very quickly available.
To Escape To's interpretation of our rough ideas and their subsequent choice of venues, accommodation and events was perfect. We wanted to see some of the highlights of South Africa, from Cape Town to Kwazulu Natal plus a few days at the Victoria Falls. Our finalised itinerary also took in the Cape winelands; the Garden Route; Drakensberg mountains; Kwazulu game reserves; Indian Ocean beaches and three days in Zimbabwe and Botswana. A gentle start leading up to a crescendo at the Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park.
Our absolute favourite was the 'andBeyond' Phinda Private Game Reserve. An extraordinary organisation, sophisticated and professional, but with the most wonderful genuine welcome. We instantly felt like one of the family. On arrival we were introduced to our ranger and tracker who immediately took us on an introductory safari, the precursor to morning and evening safaris for the next three days. We saw four of the 'big five' - the leopard eluded us, but we did see cheetah and cubs - and many other animals and birds. Each couple had their own spacious lodge with a plunge pool shared with elephants which came to drink during dry spells. Nyala and wart hogs sheltered in the shade, and from predators, beneath our lodge - just magic.
After visiting the awesome Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and staying in the equally wonderful Ilala Lodge, we snatched a day in Botswana's Chobe game park. Getting really close up to elephants, a herd of touchy male water buffalos, and huge hippos vying for territory and mating rights, from a very small boat was incredibly exciting. Then there were the other favourites: giraffes, wart hogs, zebras, wildebeest and the antelopes. Between Phinda and Chobe we encountered a huge diversity of animals and birds, the majority of the 29 animals and 74 birds we recorded on our three week stay.
All these wonderful opportunities were put together by To Escape To's gifted team
