Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Matrishva Vyas
Manyarra can be considered as an opener, a soft introduction to exciting safari ahead in Serengeti and Ndutu area.
For bird lovers it is good, and the fact that it is on the way and breaks the journey time, it must be explored.

The best place with wild animals in the world
Our guide is the amazing man. His name is Godlove. We could see different animals in the wild nature. Food was perfect. You can even find for vegan something taste. Very excellent adventure. Thanks a lot!

Great experience, especially the Mokoro trip. Don't worry too much about malaria!
Being a regular visitor to southern Africa including Namibia and South Africa, I've never been to the Okavango Delta bevor. We arrived in Gaborone via flight from Johannesburg and then took a car to Maun. Since the way is too long (expect min 2 days), we made a stop at the Kama Rhino Sanctuary (which I can also recommend). If you're only been to South Africa before, you'll notice that Botswana is different. It's much less densely populated and there are not many hotels and restaurants available along the way. Most of lodges are in the luxury segment and quite expensive, even for european standards. The road to Maun had many potholes, especially during the last kilometers. The A14 generally had less traffic and a better road quality than the A3. Alternatively, you can fly to Maun as well.
Maun is the gateway to many activities in the delta. Is has quite a lot of accommodations, restaurants, shops and an airport. Even if you can't afford a helicopter flight, you should book a Mokoro boat tour. It takes approximately 8 hours from 8 am until 4 pm. A guide will drive you through the delta while you can relax and enjoy the nature. It's worth every cent. If you come in December, expect the water levels to be low and some rain or clouds from time to time.
Don't worry too much about malaria. It is there but not too common (ask the locals). Take a good mosquito spray with you anyways and keep the doors/windows closed in the evening. We've rarely seen any mosquitos, so I think the health damage done by any medication outweighs the real risk, especially if you're only staying for a couple of days in the southern part of the delta.

Review about Okonjima Nature Reserve by Kaku
It was good for private nature reserve and it is understandable that they need a fence but it is a little disturbing if you compare to national parks.

Review about Namib-Naukluft National Park by Kaku
Scenery was beautiful. We could observe wild life often but most of them was a little far and difficult to see the detail.

Awesome introduction to Africa
This was my first, but probably not last, trip to Africa. We were able to see animals infrequently enough to keep us on our toes, but often enough to make every moment worthwhile! Variety was limited, but the scenery was beautiful and weather was too - warm, often hot during the day, comfortable at night. The safari tents were a wonderful experience where we could hear animals (and see some too!) while feeling safe and comfortable. Food was middle of the road overall, but the fruit was phenomenal! Fresh pineapple, bananas, mango, watermelon every morning! The highlight of my experience was our Matoke tour guide Caleb. He taught us about Ugandas turbulent history, its culture, and his hopes for its future. He was funny and accomodating and even set us up with local guides for extra tours. I cant say enough good things about Caleb!!

Ultimate destination for wildlife lovers
We visited TANZANIA in January 2018. The place covered were Lake Manyarra, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti, and Ndutu. We booked through Safaribookings and I must say it was a wise decision. Our operator Earthlife Expedition delivered all which was promised. I routinely conduct a photographer tour in East Africa since 2014, and I must acknowledge that this was my best tour as organiser. Apart from enjoying the wide variety of Wildlife, the smooth flow of the itinerary and great hospitality provided by all camps was just heartening.
I definitely recommend TANZANIA to everyone.
Already, I have booked my safari group to visit TANZANIA in February 2019. And hope to explore its beauty once again.

Perfect 3 days safari
Me and my husband did 3 days safari at Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro Crater an Lake Manyara NP with Migtation Venture Africa. All three parks are different but very beautiful with loads of animals and birds.
Weather was just perfect, around +27 °C. No need for long sleeves, trousers or boots.
We had very profesional, friendly and patient guide Anderson. After a while he knew where and when to stopp a car to take best pictures of animals.
Accomodation was in a tented camp. It was basic but there was everything we needed.

Wonder of the Earth
As a Japanese we visited Namib Dessert to watch the sun rise on New Years Day. Scenery was beautiful with changing colours of the dunes as sun rises. We move to Swakopmund that is on the coastal area that we could see completely different beauty of the earth. Arrangement of travel agent was superb and our guide was experienced kind and helpful. I believe that Japanese people will love Namibia (actually my wife said she wants to come again), but it's a pity that it is so far from Japan!

A Dream Come True
How do you say thank you for making a dream come true? Through missed flights, changed itinerary and minor illness, Jessica and her Dancing Zebras were there for me, to smooth the way and keep my home-hubby informed. Believe me, there are no travel agents to compare to this service; no more luxurious accommodations; better informed guides; or friendly camp staff. Hippos grazed at night outside my tent. Maasai warriors jumped for me. I saw lions hunting and mating. This was safari the way I wanted it to be and never thought it could be!
