Edge Travel does it best!
As I write this long overdue review for Mark Stodel and Edge Travel, I am reminded of why I am booking another trip to Africa in 2018 for our travel club members. Our club puts together 4 or 5 trips a year (not the same people necessarily) and when it was time to go back to Africa, there was no second guessing--Edge Travel and only Edge Travel would do this new trip. Twenty-four of us traveled to South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe in 2012 and Mark took good care of us with every detail including a last-minute canceled flight. The camps and hotels were perfect, the tours arranged around our preferred timing and choices. We look forward to Summer 2018 for our trip to Tanzania with Edge--20 traveling friends.

Amazing
Just came back today from Masai Mara safaris, and couldn't resist the temptation to write the review. Richard, our guide and driver was fantastic. His knowledge about the routes within Masai and his connects with all the tour guides helped us to see the Big 5 on the first day itself, within few hours. We were lucky enough o see 3 rhino out of 47 in the Masai park. Lions were in plenty and so were cheetah and leopard. Richard, ensured we were fully comfortable in the tents and also had ample water bottles for the entire journey. His knowledge about the different species of animal is commendable. He really ensured that he went all out to ensure we get the expired eif a lifetime. Thanks Richard and team for this great trip. I am surely coming again with you guys again soon.

I only use "Gorilla Tours"
I have been working with Gorilla Tours now for 13 years and have done at least that many tours with them as well. I guess the fact that I have used them so many times says it all, I think they are great. The owner has worked with me every time to create the experience I want as I have travel with different friends each time.
The driver I use has now become my good friend, as has the owner!!
You will have a wonderful time, be with an experienced driver and see every thing you came to see, it will be the best trip of your life!!

SO much better than I expected, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi is an animal viewing paradise
All of our connections were seamless, including airport drop off. The personal attention by Stephen, our guide, was fun and informative with several very up close lucky sightings. We were feed well and our lodgings were perfect for our more adventurous wants, with lots of animals roaming through the grounds of the delightful cabins. A perfect end to our wonderful month in South Africa.

Excellent, responsive, on time, polite and extremely knowledgeable guides.
Communication was perfect. They responded positively to a number of last minute changes we had to make. Introduced our group to the wonders of wild life in Uganda. Every member loved our guides: Paul and Abdul.

The best trip we ever had
We just returned from a Safari with Augustine, and his field guides, that was hosted by the former Director and his wife, of the Santa Ana Zoo in Santa Ana California. Augustine's Adventure Africa was the tour operator, and did the entire coordination of the trip. We travel twice a year, and this trip was by far our most rewarding trip. Augustine selected first class lodges, and destinations, and we saw animals abundant. Augustine, and his two field guides Casey, and Emmanuel were very knowledgeable, and quick at spotting game wildlife, that it amazed me they had such sharp eyes, to spot the animals, birds, and also the terrain of Africa, including trees, plants, and the ecological system of Tanzania.
We saw animals including many lions, wilder beasts, zebras, buffalo, a rhino, hippos, crocodiles, wart hogs, gazelles, and a caracal and her baby.
We also visited a village in Africa, and a school and experienced the native culture of Africa's people, including a visit to a Massai tribe. Augustine also took us to a wood carving place in a small village, where you could purchase and witness the talent of it's experienced artisans. The prices were so incredibly cheap for the work of art that we purchased.
We also visited the Arusha Cultural Center, which is a wonder in itself, with art from all over Africa. It's tantamount to a museum, and if you are looking for special piece that is the place to go.
Augustine is very personable, and a lot of fun to be with. Our daughter enjoyed him and he made her laugh, and gave her an experience into the Great Migration that very few people have the opportunity to see.
Also, for concerned travelers, Augustine kept us safe, and the land rovers, were in excellent condition, and I highly recommend his tour operation. It surpassed my expectations truly.

Unequalled for getting up close with the naturally-real Africa, without crowds, and with top service
Moriti Private Safaris deliver it all, the environment passion, the service, the safety, the amazing wildlife access, the tailoring to suit you, the up and beyond attention to detail, the unequalled 'what more can we do' attitude to every part of every day. Our group of 6 spent day after day, away from other tourists for the most part, enjoying time to just quietly observe everything, photograph what we wished, be explained to, and understand the nature of life for each species. Africa does get under your skin ! This is our second visit, and we have already given our commitment to Shaun, Owner/Guide, that we want to book him again within the next two years. Every one we know who is interested in visiting the REAL Africa, will be hearing about him and his service. You can trust everything about how he operates... from the heart... from a lifetime of giving back to the people and environment of the real Africa. Thank you Shaun and Moriti from the bottom of our heart, and from the top of our wishlist for an adventure lived to the maxiumum for sure wonder, excitement, and respect. 100 out of 100 - higher marks if possible :)
