the highlight of our trip
Joseph and Fanuel proved to be wonderful guides. They were as excited about seeing the animals as we were and they were filled with knowledge about the animals. The pop-up top on the vehicle really enhanced the experience. We could stand up and view the animals as we pleased. The food at the accommodations was wonderful including the packed lunches. Truly a wonderfully educational and fun experience.

Thanks to Beacon Safaris
Informative and helpful pre-booking support from Robert helped us finally settle on a 7 days safari with Beacon Safaris. First day we were introduced to herds of free-ranging elephants and a lot of wild animals, An early start the next day was rewarded with amazing views of Kilimanjaro. None of the 7 days was disappointing each day was full of wildlife thrills awaiting us. We were happy with the safari and loved every minute of the little time we had in Kenya.

Fantastic Holiday
My wife and I took an 8 days best of Kenya safari after a discussion with Robert, true to his word the safari didn't disappoint. We experienced some stunning sightings that we never expected, we didn't even expect to be so close to the animals. Our guide Humfrey was very knowledgeable and responded to our queries and was very important in making our holiday a success.

Experiences you'll remember for the rest of your life
Catz run by Annekie & Henry are not only superb organisers but amazing hosts too. From the minute they pick you up at the airport, hotel or home to when you have to say goodbye (which is hard thing to do), they make sure your trip runs smoothly and is an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.
We have used them since 2006 and whether its a luxury safari or a budget one, they have the knowledge and experience of their industry to put together a truly memorable tour for you.
Their knowledge and experience of the tours they run and the information they pass on during them is second to none, and its clear from the passion they show when imparting that information of their love for their country, history and above all else the wildlife. They are also happy to come up with bespoke tours to suit your budget if the tours offered don't fit with what you want.
This trip was special as it was my partners 50th birthday so a secret holiday for her. We wanted to go to some of our favourite places, but it wasn't working the way we wanted it - no problem for Annekie - she worked it so that all the elements we wanted were in the tour just in a different order, but it worked brilliantly as was evident from the tears of joy in her eyes when we turned into our final destination - Rhino Post Plains Camp walking safari.
We had the most amazing time at Bush House in Madikwe, Johannesburg, Oliphants and Plains Camp in Kruger Park. Brilliant sightings in the vehicle and on foot, we were truly spoilt - champagne and cake everywhere and not forgetting Henry's outstanding braai's and poike - mouthwatering.
Annekie and Henry aren't just your tour guides, they become your friends, friends you will have for life.
Can't wait to be back in the bush again soon.

Great guidance and support through the trip!
This was a first trip to Africa, and we were looking for someone who would guide us in the right direction in everything from choice of parks to visit, duration of stay and the hotels we stay at. Quite happy to say that ChaloAfrica proved excellent on all accounts.
From the start there was a constant dialogue and we first got advised on which country within africa to visit. Once we set our vision and standards, they were able to guide us well as to which country to visit.
After that, getting into the details of the country with where to go and what to do proved a daunting task for us but they smoothened it out with their knowledge.
Once on the trip, they kept in constant communication through message, and it proved helpful to us as on our first night we had a bit of an issue with the hotel, and we just let them know on message and by the time we woke up the next morning, it was all sorted out.. That was pretty good and exactly why we went with them - we wanted a hassle free trip!
All in all, we had a great trip and are already looking forward to planning our next trip with Chalo.

Amazing landscape entouring an outstanding fauna
The best part of this park, compared to other great parks in Africa, is the landscape. Concerning animals, it is the best place to see elephants that I know.
Good organisation, guides and food with Kananga.
Do not miss the boat at the sunset, you really dont know where to look at.

First Safari and after this trip will not be my last
The Park is fantastic, not crowded with load of vehicles and people, the wildlife is always very close and relatively safe, the guides really know there stuff and are brilliant at their job, we stayed at the Lion Camp, which is up market for a Safari, very comfortable, brilliant food and transportation was always there on time and always safe. Highlights were the six Leopards we saw - beautiful animals, we also saw Lion, Buffalo, Elephant, Antelope and too many bird species to mention. Night Drives were fun, but you need a good camera to capture the views on film, walking safari's are very educational - you will learn a lot about POO. Overall a great experience, wish we had seen two camps rather than just one to allow us to make a comparison, apart from that fantastic, but we were very tired when we got home - not used to 05.30 starts.

Review about Zambia by Allen
No herds of Elephants, just individuals and small family groups, scenery is very much the same through out the whole park, no mountains but lots of water.

Professionally planned and executed tour with a knowledgeable expert guide.
Our professionally planned safari tour was all arranged via email and executed as planned. We met our driver/guide in the Serengeti. Cosmas, our guide was a seasoned professional and a gracious host for our two day safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. As an experienced guide and collaborator with other guides, he put us up close with dozens of male and female lions, hippos, elephants, giraffe, and even a sighting of the elusive black Rhino. Our safari expectations were exceeded beyond belief.
