Review about Hell's Gate National Park by Vivienne
There wasn't as much wildlife here, but it was an amazing experience being able to cycle through there. The gorge walk was very nice.
A very different ecperience from any that I've had before in a very good way!
We stayed at Moremi Crossing, which was excellent, having flown in by light aircraft from Maun. The weather was very good for us -sunny but not too hot. The clear skies were magnificent at night - coming from a relatively light polluted area the chance to see (and photograph) the Milky Way was great. We say a variety of wildlife and my abiding memory was of an elephant at close quarters from a Mokoro (the experience of being poled through the waterways in a Mokoro was magical too). We also saw Red Lechwe, buffalo, hippo and a great variety of birds - I couldn't define myself as a birder but there certainly seemed to be an abundance.
Our accommodation was very good with excellent food and a pleasant atmosphere.

Great trip for the 1st Time in Africa Crowd
This was a great trip. My first time in Africa. The lodges provided were excellent and the directions were very easy to follow. The hosts at the lodge were very accommodating. Saw plenty of wildlife and the pictures I bought back I will forever treasure. The only choas was the airport in Namibia (the car rental kiosk was easy to miss but it was there and the monitors for departing flight are confusing to make your way to the airline desk no matter what the display says).

Unforgettable
Wheather was nice, it was not hot and There were no mosquitos in june. Good was ok, camping food. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly.
Mamaland Safaris gave us a very memorable great experience for our 3 day Queen Elizabeth safari
The wildlife in Queen Elizabeth Park was excellent. We particularly loved getting up close to a pride of lions and seeing one of them in a tree. We managed to see a wide variety of birdlife, elephants, water buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, baboons and kob. The weather was good and we were able to do an evening safari as well as one during the day. Accommodation was nearby and met our needs. Our guide was attentive and very accommodating in meeting our requirements. The road into the park was full of pot holes so be prepared for a rough and sometimes slow ride into the park. Once you arrive it is worth it

Vacation of a Lifetime!!!!
Ker & Downey customized a "trip of a lifetime" for our family of 5. They are meticulous about everything down to the last detail. We had an incredible trip with luxury accommodations, outstanding service and wonderful memories. We just arrived back and trying to figure out our next trip.

Our ACZ experience
I chose ACZ to book three safaris for my first time in Kenya. We booked a 1 day safari in Hell’s Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha, 3 day safari in Maasi Mara and 3 day safari in Amboseli. This safari was a holiday for myself and my partner and it was also a holiday to celebrate my 21st birthday which they really took into consideration and got me a cake and also planned a surprise party for me! I could not express how amazing these guys are at ACZ, extremely friendly, so helpful and always contactable if I ever needed anything or had any questions. I strongly recommend them and I am so happy we chose to do our safaris with them, if I visit Kenya again for a safari I will be going with them again. Thank you to all of the people at ACZ for making my 21st birthday so extremely special and making my first time in Africa something I will never forget! The safaris and memories we made are unforgettable and I couldn’t be happier with how our time in Kenya planned out. Thank you to ACZ again!

Go with EATS!
The experience is awesome from start to finish. Peter is incredibly accommodating and makes the process so easy. Our safari guide was Cyrus, a man with 13 years of experience who got us the best shots possible. Twice he spotted lions that no one else in the park noticed. I would go again in a heart beat!

Wonderful experience and wonderful people to work with!
We brought a group of 8 from the U.S. to Uganda for a 13 day mission trip. I was very impressed with the communication I had before our trip. Hajarah worked very hard to accommodate all of our needs. She was very easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable while I was working with her on all of our details. We were also very happy with the cost of the trip. While we were in Uganda our main driver and Safari tour guide was a man named George. He is the best there is!! He became part of our group and jumped in worked as hard as the rest of us. We were there working with a group of kids and he loved the kids as much as we did. When we went on our Safari to Murchison Falls he was very knowledgeable about the animals and their behaviors. We felt very comfortable even while siting just a few feet from a lion and lioness!! :) The accommodations were wonderful!!
Overall I would highly recommend Simba African Expeditions if you want a well organized trip with super friendly and loving people to work with!! They far exceeded our expectations. We will definatly be using them again!

5 amazing safari days camping in the bush
I really can't recommend Orongai Africa Safari enough. We booked a private safari for me and my wife leaving from Arusha and finishing at Lake Natron. We wanted to see Tarangire, Ngorongoro and stay 2 nights in the Serengeti NP. Not only Orongai with Martha (our main contact), their driver/guide Charles and chef Dvd met our expectations but totally surpassed them. We had an amazing experience, Charles was extremely professional, amazing driving skills and his knowledge of wildlife and the whole area was incredible. Dvd's food was also super delicious and you will hardly get something better than that if you want to taste real Tanzanian food. We had a tight budget so camping was our only option, the tents, sleeping bags and mattresses were very comfortable and we slept always well. Martha was always helpful and helped us arrange our safari with the requests we had for a very competitive price. We not only saw the big 5 but hundreds of animals including about 100 lions (not kidding!), we saw hunting and stampedes, crocodile and cheetas, a trip of a lifetime. Charles had great communication with all the surrounding guides and we were on the right spot all the time. We made great friends in Tanzania and as I said before, I can't recommend Orongai enough. Definitely book with them.
