Don't expect too many animals during the wet season
In general, Etosha seems to be a great park to go to. The facilities were good, camping was fun and the scenery is just lovely. As we went there in the wet season of February, Etosha was very green, with plenty of water everywhere, so finding animals was very hard, even for our nice and very experienced guides. We did end up with a few sightings though, highlighted by a young leopard, who was drinking some water in the middle of the road. We saw plenty of giraffes, ostriches and springbok, but the rhinos were unfortunately hiding! It was fun to spot birds and also smaller animals like honey badgers, even though hard when the car was moving. I can definitely recommend going there, but would personally try again in dry season!

Out of this world. To be so close to these animals was amazing a definite must if you love to see the world.

Serrengeti, Ngorongoro, Kilimanjaro, Selous and Zanzibar are amazing places, they are wonders of the world that without doubt people should visit.

Absolutely fantastic experience and feel so privileged to have had the experience
We arrived to beautiful weather, many friends told me it could be cold at this time of year, but it was cool on the early game drive,but soon warmed up. Kruger was a fantastic experience and cannot explain how privileged we feel to have seen the big 5!
Our guides were fantastic and knew the park so well. Kruger is twice the size of Wales in the uk.
Dress with layers, like an onion and you'll do fine in kruger. There are blankets on the Jeep to keep you warm.

Great 7-day safari
I did a 7-day tour with Safari Line Defender covering Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli National Park. It was a fantastic and positive experience. Rose was quite helpful as soon as I booked, constantly keeping me informed and asking how she could help. She even got me a discounted hotel booking and arranged all the airport taxis. The safari itself was busy and well planned. We had a very good guide, Patrick "Papa". He was knowledgeable, warm and very patient. All the arrangements worked well. The main issues in my safari were the state of the roads leading to the Maasai Mara and the traffic jams to Amboseli (between Nairobi and Mombasa). These need to be factored into all plans, but they are Kenya Government issues rather than the fault of the safari company. The campsites (at Maasai Mara and Amboseli) and the hotels at Nakuru and Naivasha were as expected for a budget tour. This was my first time in Kenya and it is a beautiful country, blessed with great wildlife and natural resources. Thanks Rose and Patrick for a great experience and I would definitely recommend this company.
BEST TRIP EVER!!!
We saw so all of the BIG 5 and more. We got National Geographic worthy pictures. 5 Star service and Excellent Luxury accommodations. Trip of a lifetime!!

Safari dreams beautifully met by Flash- beyond our dreams!!!
While examining an overload of safari tour company sites and getting high price quotes I was becoming discouraged. Then I saw several references to Flash Safaris. I sent our desired itinerary along with a request for a modest budget and received an almost immediate reply from Magda. She was always professional, detailed and quick to respond. Although I requested places to stay she made suggestions for alternatives based on her experience. We went with those and were pleased we did so. We were four adults with special food and medical requirements which she made certain would be accommodated.
Magda met us at the airport, picked us up the following day at her suggestion and escorted us around Arusha markets- beyond the call of duty! We also met her business partner Edward, a native Tanzanian whose conversational English is very proficient, who took us to the airport.
I had told her I was interested in a guide who knew and would stop for birds. No problem. Every day of our 18 days, 11 on a slow paced safari and 7 in Zanzibar, was a marvel thanks to Magda's advice plus our excellent safari driver/guide Abraham. Our wishes were always graciously accommodated by him.
Her personal service, genuine friendliness and ability to meet and exceed our expectations will long be appreciated!!! This is an extremely reliable, ethical small company. Do not hesitiate to book with Flash!!!!

Great Safari
On our 7 day safari with Regional Tours in November we visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks. Our guide Harun did a great job and we had a great safari. We saw a great number of animals. All the accomodations were excellent. The best one was in Serengeti (Kubu Kubu lodge) where we could watch wild animals right from our balcony. During the night we could hear a lion, hyennas and buffalos. An unforgettable experience.

An absolutely magical tour of Uganda with Experience Uganda who were truly professional in every way
Communication right from the first contact was superb. Emails were always answered within a few hours and all questions and concerns were answered every step of the way.
The service from Experience Uganda was exceptional from the planning of our trip and pulling together an itinerary to cover all the places, sights and wildlife that we wanted to see, within the budget that we had.
We were met at the airport as promised and stayed one night at Karibu which is owned by Experience Uganda, this is an lovely well run establishment with such helpful staff.
Our guide for the 14 night adventure was a star and became an integral part of our group, we had such a laugh.
Accommodation in the lodges and tented camps was perfect.
Every day would bring so many surprises if not from the wildlife which was outstanding (especially seeing the gorillas) then it was the marvellous breakfast we had laid out on the savanna, with even a toilet tent provided. or the G and T's at sunset with a perfect viewing vista after seeing a leopard !! It could not get any better.
This was an amazing trip through Uganda which far exceed our expectations and will never be forgotten. This was with thanks to the wonderful high standard of organisation from Experience Uganda who we now like to call our friends.
