Review about Etosha National Park by Sterna999
I saw so many impressive animals in such a short time it is just incredible! I hardly got any sleep, not wanting to miss any movements around the moon-lit waterholes at the camps in the NP. Also on the road, you never knew what surprise would come next...

The mountain alone is a sight not to miss!
I spent one night, out of my 10 days Namibia private guided tour, at Waterberg Plateau Park. The bird watching (the main purpose of our trip) one mid-afternoon/evening and the next morning, was excellent. I would have loved to stay longer to enjoy the wildlife as well as the great scenery. Especially the evening sun created an unforgettable image of the orange-colored mountain range majestically framing the area. Damara Dik-dik were wandering around not far from the neat houses of the rest camp, and we saw Baboons and Southern African Ground Squirrels on various occasions. You can find a list of the birds observed on ebird, and a choice of my photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/88593217@N04/albums/72157648777792800. A lovely quiet spot with a lot to detect. I can warmly recommend it.

Once in a lifetime experience!
My boyfriend and I travelled around Tanzania last April and had the chance to participate in a 4-days 'budget' safari organized by Taste of Afrika. Our experience with Taste of Afrika was wonderful from the first email exchanges to the very end of the safari. As a group of two, safaris can be very expensive but the owner of the company, Seka, offered us the possibility to join an already existing group which was travelling in the same period. Seka was very professional and reliable, as well as flexible to met our requests. In Arusha, we were welcomed by the local manager Herrieth who explained to us the details of the tour. The next day we left early in the morning to visit Tarangiri National Park where, despite being in the rainy season, we managed to see an increadible number of animals. For travellers with limited budget or time, I can totally recommend Tarangiri which you can visit in one or two days safari from Arusha or even better from Moshi. But of course the next stops on day 2-4 were the highlight of our safari: the legendary Serengeti National park (mostly around the Seronera area) and the Ngorongoro crater (a collapsed vulcano covering an area of more than 8000 sq km), with its unique combination of wildbeast and livestock, as Masai people are allowed to graze in the crater. The friendliness and professionalism of the driver/guide and the cook accompanying us only made the experience more enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful experience with Taste of Afrika. I would never have thought so, but safari is really a once in a lifetime experience!

Awesome Trip
Kili Slope was amazing!
Ziggy, our guide, was uncanny at finding and identifying the wildlife. He always knew where to look. He was extremely professional and was always looking to make our trip as good as it could possibly be. This meant both giving us great advice as well as acting on any request we had.
Saleem, our cook, exceeded our wildest expectations for food and service on the trip. Who would have thought you could eat so well in the back country?
The support staff at Kili Slope also did an amazing job with our safari. From the ease of booking, to being picked up/dropped off at the airport, everything went incredibly smoothly!!
Highly recommend this Kili Slope and would most definitely use them again.

Excellent
We had an amazing time. Thank you for everything.
Christine was incredible. The communication and the service are excellent. Email replies were prompt and all questions answered accurately.
Hoppy was our fantastic guide. He is very knowledgeable about the animals, helpful and has a great sense of humor.
Hoppy has amazing eyes for spotting wild life and it was a pleasure to be able to learn from him and feel able to ask as many questions as we wished.
We will not forget the fantastic game drives, delicious food and the vast experience of our guide Hoppy. One of the most incredible experiences of our lives. Wildlife Safaris is highly recommended.

An experience that has created memories that will last forever.
As first time safari travelers, we were impressed with everything about Tanzania Choice Safaris. From the initial emails with Brenda, to actually beginning our adventure in Arusha, to the final days - it was everything that we had imagined and more. Kakasii was so hospitable and knowledgeable leading us to see so many incredible animals. His passion and excitement were contagious as he shared his love of Tanzania, the beauty of nature and the majesty of the many animals - large and small. The land cruiser, cold drinks, the accommodations and the meals we shared just made for an exceptional travel experience. We were all sorry to see our adventure come to an end. Of all the companies offering safaris, please put this company at the top of your list for consideration. You will not be disappointed.

Mount Meru + Safari
My wife and our two sons (14&15) were picked up by Peter in the middle of the night at Kilimanjaro Airport. One backpack was lost at the airport which caused a serious delay. It was already after midnight when Peter came to our Lodge because he managed to find out where the lost backpack was. This professional start turned out to be typical for the El Mundo experience.
The next day we had a briefing by Justin our guide to the top of the Mount Meru. This briefing turned out to be a kind of exam, we were very thoroughly checked on our climbing gear. My raincoat did not pass the test. Hakuna Matata, Justin will carry an umbrella just in case. During the climb I looked every now and then to other guides, some of them were watching their Iphone all the time and some of them were not fit enough to climb (really!) For us climbing with our sons we were very happy to have Justin around just in case.
After returning save and sound from the climb we went on Safari with Peter. he is not only an excellent driver ,which is really important on a trip like this, he has at least 2 sets of eyes because during the sometimes hard driving he spots animals from great distance. After the Ngorongoro crater Peter convinced me to take a longer but not commonly used route to Serengeti. I really wanted to go fast to Serengeti for the boys because I expected cat action there. The long route was the best day we had not only because we saw a Cheeta killing a Grand Gazelle just before our eyes.
I have been to Africa 3 times and will definitely chose El Mundo for my next trip (I hope within 5 years to do the Kili). To me the key words for El Munda are:
- Fit
- Respect for nature
- Safe
- Experienced
