Our third and best safari
Alym was attentive from the beginning. We had a specific itinerary and he totally worked with that. It was great that he is from Kenya, so he knew all about the places we wanted to visit, and it helped that he was based in Canada so we were in the same time zone and communication by phone was easy. Everything went smoothly on the safari and we had a fantastic guide.

Terrific time in Selou and Mikumi!!
Travel for Change did an excellent job all around in arranging our safari (on very short notice), catering to our requests, providing us a terrific driver, arranging wonderful last minute adventures, and finding the right spots to see all that we hoped for! Overall an experience that exceeded expectations and we'd confidently recommend Travel for Change to family and friends.

Amazing luxury honeymoon experience
Rose was absolutely fantastic in helping organise the perfect honeymoon for us. We went to Tanzania and stayed at Nomad Entamanu, Nomad Lamai, Little Chem Chem and then Kilindi in Zanzibar for some beach time. All were different and absolutely superb. Rose put together a brilliant itinerary in terms of how many days we spent at each. She is an excellent communicator, always responded to any questions swiftly and kindly, and was extremely helpful in terms of informing us about what we needed to sort out pre-trip. Couldn't recommend the Luxury Safari Company more highly.

Fortunate to have visited this region in time. Future of wildlife is in danger because climatchange
If you want to get the feeling of the wildlife and the region you must stay at least 3 to 4 days. Great to visit by own car, but certainly use the local organized sunset, sundown and night drive. We were lucky to spot the big five and the dangerous eight. Also many birds and small animals.
We stayed at Olifant rest camp. Great place to be with a spectacular view from the top of the hill. Good food, friendly people.
We visited SA self organized because as photographers it is very difficult to be part of a group. Be sure to get your bookings online long time before.

Good experience with a well organised company
We booked a 6 day safari in december 2017 with Safarihub. The main reasons for choosing them were the positive reviews and price.
The safari itself was also very good. Our guide was very knowledgeable about both the animals, the parks and tanzania in general.
One of the things we can advise is to be as specific as you can be regarding the booking of your trip and while you are at it. For example, the agency did not offer us any options in terms of lodges, which resulted that we stayed at lodges that we just outside of the parks. This means that you will spend approximately 2-3 hours a day extra driving to and from these. We would have preferred to stay at the lodges inside the park. When asking this at the agency, they told us that would have costed around 120 USD extra, a cost that easily outweighs the extra travel time. The same basically is the case for the driving around. Tell your guide what you want to see, and whether you want to spend longer in one place or in another.

Accommodation was good except for a leak in the toilet seat in Cottage 5 of Lower Thendele.
The trails are interesting, but I think they are too long before they reach the ultimate challenge such as climbing the rocks with the assistance of a ladder (the Tugela Gorge route).

Very Convinient and comfortable
Visited Kruger from 9th-11th Feb. Right from the pick up from Jo'burg airport to drop off at Skukuza airport later, everything went as described and was very comfortable and convinient. The entire process was smooth and there was no difficulty in anything.

Trip to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara
Very well organized trip. George gave us all the help we needed ahead of time; Ruben was an excellent host on our first day. Finally, Ken was a great driver/guide; very knowledgeable and helpful! He was determined to show us the "big 5"....and by God he did! In addition, we saw a lot of fantastic birds and animals (including a baby white rhino).
The facilities we stayed in were also great; overall, a great experience.
