They were amazing! Everything went well
Wild planet was excellent! Thale had a lot of patience to answer all my doubts. Ruan was an excellent guide. Great person. Benjamin cooks very well! I figured the safari would be in an open vehicle, and it would probably be best to view the animals, but we managed to see many! The grass was high, which made it difficult to see it as well. But we got to see the Big Five. 2 lions from afar. I thought we'd see more. But many Elephants, which surprised me. The night drive was amazing! We saw hyenas from VERY close.Totally different from the daytime sarafi. We stayed in Skukuza. Next time I'll stay in Satara for about 4 or 5 days to enjoy it more and see more cats.

Exceptional Service
I do not travel much but after Grace and her team at Safe Drive planned my trip, i am re-considering this decision. Safe Drive responded to my queries in a timely manner and were very informative. The Mara was beautiful, Grace made sure i was treated like royalty.
I would definately recommend Safe Drive Tours and Travel for exceptional service and pocket friendly prices!

Guide and Assistant Save the Safari Experience
The safari turned out to be a great experience despite a rocky start. Our guide, Chris and his assistant, Benjamin were absolutely wonderful and did their best to provide a good experience. The rocky beginning started with me having to contact the person I was booking with about pick up information which she had not provided. On the drive out Chris mentioned that we would be in Kruger National Park for 3 days, but unlike what the proposal that had not been modified in advance, we would not be staying at Skukuza for 2 nights. Instead we would be in a smaller camp for one night and have to move to Satara for the next two nights. This would have been fine, but we were prepared to be staying where we could get cash from a bank and get WiFi in the camp. Neither was available outside Skukuza so we struggled with that. The company should have informed us well in advance about the change. Also, Chris had not been told that we were supposed to go on the Panoramic Route on day 3 and 4. When he talked to the manager about this, we were given the option of going on this as planned. However, we would have had to pack and move again. Instead we agreed to have a quick Panoramic Route trip the last day only. The guides were great and flexible. Benjamin's food was absolutely fantastic. Chris is very knowledgeable and helped us see the Big 5 and so much more. These two men saved the trip!

Amazing Safari
After convincing myself I would like to go on a safari adventure, I had to find a country and a travel agency.
After my research, I chose Kenya. The agency was what was left to choose. I searched the internet and found “Safaribooking”. This was the most complete site, as they have all the information you need.
I sent some price requests and from the beginning Kikwetu Cultural Adventures, including Kenneth, sent me the promptest replies. They respond quicky and efficiently in a very professional way.
I was a little afraid to make payments to a company I had never worked with, but after contacting some customers and Kenneth himself I realized I was dealing with honest people.
Until the day of our arrival, they have always given me all the information I requested.
From our arrival at Nairobi to our last day in Kenya, our guide – Livingstone Masagha – was amazing.
He is an excellent person, always ready to help us and worried about our well-being. Always searching for the wild animals we liked the most.
We started at Amboseli National Park, then Lake Naivasha and finally Masai Mara National Reserve. The latter the best.
This was an amazing vacation and a trip to remember.
I am alrealy organizing my next trip to Kenya and hope I will get to know other African countries, always with Kenneth helping me in the next safari adventures.
I truly recommend this agency. Do not search another…

3 x Times we saw the Big Five!!!
For me it was the second time to visit lovely Tanzania. Without any doubt we booked our holiday at African Wildcats. Last time I visited it was the end of the dry season, now I visited just after the wet season, what a difference!
Lanscapes we now green, the grass was much higher but also other animals were to be seen.
The outcome was spectaculair: we saw 12 rhino's! Even one in the Serengeti!
I would like to thank Jacob, our guide, for his focus, humor but also persistence!! We just could not leave the parks without seeing every animal! :-)
Thanks again, and offcourse we will visit again!

A very good experience!
It was a very good experience. Mr Wachanga was a great guide. Unfortunately, we were not able to see all of the big five (leopards and rhinos were nowhere to be found) but we saw a lot of different animals, almost all of them more than once. The visit to the Maasai village was also a unique and very enriching experience.
The tent camp was also pretty good. For a tent camp, the facilities were very comfortable; everything was very clean and the meals were also good. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
I think the worst was the travel itself; "roads" were very bad for the last 50km, but there's nothing we could have done differently.

Incredible once in a lifetime experience!
I went on a six day Safari to Tarangire, Ngorogoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara with Anthony from Cross to Africa Safaris. I was impressed with the promptness of communication, flexibility in planning the safari, quality of vehicle and professionalism and knowledge of the driver guide. Anthony made every effort to make it a unique and enjoyable experience and allowed some customisation of your safari to suit your needs. It is hard to pick a favourite park from the beautiful baobab trees and herds of elephants in Tarangire, the prowling cheetahs and getting up close to the lazy lions in Serengeti or the rare black rhinoceros and the distinctive volcanic environment of Ngorogoro. I would highly recommend to stay at least a night or two in a luxury tented camp in the Serengeti so that you can experience the stunning sunsets that Africa is famous for, view the starry night sky and wake up to the sounds of wildlife. I also had the chance to visit a Masai village and time for rest and relaxation beside the swimming pool. Overall it was an incredible once in a lifetime experience and I would highly recommend Anthony at Cross to Africa Safaris!
