3 day Masai Mara
We got picked up at 6.30 am and went to the office of Big Time. But the thing they do is that all the companies try to fill up their buses and so we were driving for probably four more hours through Nairobi to pick up people from other companies. This caused us then to arrive at the camp so late that we couldn't go out for safari anymore. The plan was then to start the next day really early with breakfast at 5.30 to compensate the missed time and to see the sunrise. But this didn't work out because there was no breakfast until 6.15am so we also missed the sunrise. The rest of the day was really awesome, we saw a lot of animals and the Masai Mara national park is really worth a visit. When we asked in the evening for water they told us that there's only 1 liter each per day and in my opinion this is too less if they say that water is included!
On the third day we actually made it to see the sun rise and left to Nairobi at 8am and arrived at home around 4pm. Besides that we had a driver who wasn't speaking at all to our group and was racing all the time so that we were just shaking in the bus the whole time. It would have been nice if he would have explained sometimes things about Masai Mara but at least he knew the ways there very well.
So I definitely would recommend to go to Masai Mara National Park but in my opinion not with the Big time company. Probably spending more money would be worth it.

Amazing weekend with Flash
This is my second Flash Safaris trip and absolutely loved the experience. Magda is amazingly helpful with recommendations to fit your exact needs and caters the itinerary just to your group. Awesome! We had an amazing walking safari in Arusha National Park, a totally new of animals than the car. Our night at a Masaai lodge was absolutely magical. Amazing food, wonderful room and we even had a view of Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru at sunset.

Ideal for backpackers
We did a 2 day Maasa Mara Safari with group of 9, followed by a 1 day Amboseli Safari with a group of 3. John was excellent in arranging things as per our requirement. We were all backpackers and ACZ offered us very competitive rates and were able to accommodate all our demands.
James drove us in Maasai Mara and was brilliant in explaining to us the different wildlife species and making sure we got good photo shots of animals.
Dennis drove us in Amboseli and ensured that we got a good view of the majestic elephant herds with Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background.

A matchless safari with Charis Uganda for 9 days, August 2016
It was hard to imagine we were leaving memories, stunned by their premier service and experience provided by Charis Uganda Safaris Ltd; our expert, friendly and trusted -Emmanuel, quickly became a part of our team. The trip rewarded us seeing innumerable animals, we were stunned by tree climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National park-Ishaha area. We traversed the virgin savanna grasslands, patched with tea plantations.The crown of our safari was meeting the gigantic upland Gorilla, watching this animal devour the grass, alongside their babies; an incredible experience. Our guide kept close communication with the park ranger who pointed us to a leopard feeding her cabs, a sight never to forget. We had another treat at the Murchison falls, seeing many animals including the elephants, hippos, giraffe, buffalo, crocodile, a range of birds of prey and many more in their jungle environment. Our team is very grateful and thank members of Charis for your services.

Fantastic experience from the first contact with Matoke to our final goodbyes at the airport
Like ‘lovethattravel’ I was a little worried about choosing a company that I found on the Internet but any concerns were baseless. The whole experience with Matoke Tours was professional, friendly and hassle-free. Lionel in the office was always prompt in responding to my many, many questions and was very helpful. Anatoli was not just our driver but our very knowledgeable guide who gave us some really interesting insight and history about both Uganda and Rwanda. If you are considering an African adventure then definitely contact Matoke Tours. You will not be disappointed.

Well organised safari ran like clockwork
African Ubuntu Safaris made all the flight, safari and hotel bookings for our trip to Southern Africa. Despite Africa being renowned for the unexpected, everything worked exactly as planned - including getting suitcases shipped to our hotel in Johannesburg while we were on safari in Botswana. They recommended and booked a lovely hotel in Cape Town (Maartens guesthouse). All the numerous internal flights and transfers connected efficiently, and we were met by someone at each location. I would highly recommend African Ubuntu Safaris to organise your next trip to Southern Africa.

Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by brunogarennealabadi
Slightly more than 2 hrs from joburg, it is really great , you can spend a great day, and be back in joburg at night.
The whole park can be nearly completely seen throughout one single day.
really a must.
