Fantastic 7 day safari
We went on a 9 day safari with AAA Express in late May. This included a pickup day, 7 days of actual safari, and a final day where we were brought to the cultural & heritage centre and then dropped to the airport.
Overall the experience was amazing. We really loved this holiday. Our guide, Emile, was brilliant. He is a really nice friendly guy, with a vast amount of knowledge about the wildlife and the area itself. During the safari we saw the big 5 (even the rhinos!) Emile was very good at finding the animals and he could explain their habits and techniques to us really well also. We could tell that he really is passionate about the wildlife. The jeep was very comfortable and secure. The accommodation during the safari that we stayed in was fantastic - 3 nights of lodges and 3 nights of camping. Our cook, Mike, was also really pleasant to deal with; he prepared delicious food for us, and always had a smile for us.
But the best thing about this tour was obviously the wildlife, we were not expecting to see so many animals, so we really enjoyed ourselves. So many lions, elephants, giraffes, and thousands of wildebeest! Emile was very good to allow us as much time as we wanted watching the animals, and we never felt rushed by him.
My fiancée and I both agree that this was the best holiday we have ever had, and we hope to come back again - even if it takes us 20 years! AAA Express really made the entire trip a fantastic experience, and we would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.

The experience of a lifetime
I won't bury the lede. If you're looking for a safari company in Greater Kruger, stop looking right now and book with Shaun at Moriti Private Safaris. Everything about our experience was amazing. From the service of Shaun picking us up in Johannesburg to drive the 7+ hours to the camp (and providing the company of an old friend the whole way) to the comfortable quarters and attentive yet unobtrusive hospitality at Klaserie Camps and – my GOD - the food of Chef Lindsay...everything about the experience of staying in the bush on a Moriti safari is second-to none.
And then there's the reason you're there: the game drives. Shaun says his safaris are meant for a certain type of guest: one who wants to learn about the whole bushveld ecosystem, from the Big 5, of course, to general game, right down to the birds, trees, and insects. I'm not sure how anyone could go out day after day with Shaun and NOT be that type of guest by the end of it. Shaun's knowledge of his trade is incredible. He is so deeply passionate about not just the animals, but all the living things that make up the park environment, that it's impossible for it not to rub off on you.
We had some unbelievable sightings while we were there (including a half hour of eavesdropping on a huge male leopard devouring an impala kill we had discovered earlier in the day!), but somehow, they're not what stand out most in my mind. It's the overall experience and all the moments we shared with not just Shaun, but our hosts Don and Lee, our tracker Patrick, and Chef Lindsay. Shaun said on our drive from Joburg that his guests become friends, and it's so true. By the end of our six days, we had already planned out with Shaun our next African safari in two years. And it was not a dynamic of customer and service provider; it was one of friends planning the next time we'd get together.
Seriously, look no further. Moriti Private Safaris provides the experience of a lifetime.

incredible, amazing and all the other superlatives!
My husband and i and 2 friends booked an 8 day/7 night safari with Dusty Roads. We could not have been happier!! Mollel was a pleasure to work with in planning and executing the safari, catering to our every request. Geoff, our driver was absolutely the best! He could spot things noone else would dream of seeing and was so patient, thoughtful, honest and FUNNY! His insights and observances were much appreciated. We actually all became fast friends over that week and have kept in touch. The places that were booked were really a treat - the food was fantastic and the accommodations lovely. We stayed at Green Mountain Hotel, Burudiki lodge, Eileen's treehouse, and Tortillis tented lodge. We were there in 'off-season' but it wasn't an issue at all. We saw everything we could have hoped for and more! (including 6, yes 6, leopards over 2 days!!). Highly recommend stopping at the oldavai gorge museum; really wonderful presentation of mankind's origins. We would go back in a heartbeat and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who can make the trip.

I took a short-noticed tour through Uganda and Yala took care of all my wishes!
I took a short-noticed tour through Uganda and Yala took care of my wishes and I could do everything I wanted - with a personal touch as I was the only passenger. ;)
One accommodation was not available as planned, but Yala made up for this with a stunning lodge the next night.
