Fish Eagle Safari
The highlight of a Zambezi canoe safari is the opportunity to observe and sometimes interact with wildlife from a river level perspective. The knowledge and experience of the guides is essential in navigating the river snags and never ending supply of hippos and crocodiles that keep popping up in front of your canoe. A special commendation to our guides Zera and Kenneth for keeping us safe, informed and well fed.
From ease of booking, to transfers, camping logistics and generally keeping visitors safe on the river, Natureways have really put in a 5 star performance. They have made it impossible not to have a most memorable experience.

Great 5-days Safari!
We went on a 5-days group safari across Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and per-se it was already an amazing experience. As low-budget travellers, we found Meru Slopes was the best deal in terms of value for money. The communication with Geofrey before our arrival was smooth and everything was perfect by the time we arrived. We very much appreciated that airport pick up and the two nights before and after the safari were included in the tour fees. It definitely made our life easier! The tour guide, food and time management were excellent considering what we paid. During the five days we also had an inconvenience so we lost half a day and Omani (our driver and guide) made us start earlier the next day so to not loose anything from our experience. We definitely recommend it to anyone who is open for camping and has a low budget but don't want to give it up with the stunning parks Tanzania has to offer!

This was the experience of a lifetime made possible by Simba Africa Expeditions and Alex our guide!
This experience truly met and exceeded my every expectation! Alex our guide was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, professional, punctual, reliable, and kind. We knew immediately we were in good hands upon meeting Alex. The lodges we stayed in during our safari were top notch. The chimpanzee trekking and mountain gorilla trekking both went perfect with us getting up close to both. I cannot possibly say enough great things about the experience, Simba Africa Expeditions, and most importantly our guide Alex. I would recommend this to anyone!

5 day safari with gorilla tracking
We went on a five (5) day safari at the end of July 2017. Michael was our guide and he was amazing! We could not have asked for a better person to take us on our journey. He was knowledgeable about every place we visited as well as the places we drove through to and from Kampala. We now consider him a friend after spending so much time with him.
Our safari included a tour of Kampala (with a visit to the Palace), gorilla tracking (don't miss out on this adventure if you are in Uganda - it was incredible!), a safari drive where we saw tree climbing lions, antelope, so many baboons, elephants and buffalo along with many bird species. Michael has excellent eyes to spot even the furthest off animal. We also went on a boat tour of the Kazinga Channel and stayed at the Bush Lodge (another must do!) Our final day had us going chimpanzee tracking before driving back to Kampala.
All of our accomodations (we chose the "moderate" category) were top notch. We were treated respectfully and greeted with that beautiful Ugandan smile that we became used to at every location.

3 days on More Game Reserve
I had the chance to spend 3 nights and 4 days in the area of the Okavango Delta/ More Game reserve. Me and my girlfriends stayed at Okavango River Lodge, really nice location with a bar/restaurant right next to the river where you can see a beautiful sunset every evening.
The reserve is a beautiful area where I had the chance to see Hippos, a mother lioness with her cubs, group of hyenas and lots (lots lots lots) of Elephants. We had a large group cross the road all around us one day when we were returning from the reserve. Rhinos are very hard to see at Moremi but not impossible, seems the local anti-poaching unit is keeping the Rhinos on a more restricted area deep within the delta so the Rhino population can be boosted up. As for the driving, Moremi does allow for self drive but I do not recommend it for the average tourist(my case). The road condition is fine as long as it is dry and you stick to the main roads within the reserve. On the secondary roads there are no signs and you pretty much have to be offroading for a good amount of time, chances of getting lost are not low there.
The guides know how to get you in and out of the best spots to see Wildlife without you having to worry to step out of the car to lock your differentials in the same area where you saw a pride of Lions the day before :)
So my overall suggestion is to book a guided a tour within the reserve, bring your camera and your tele lens if you have one and enjoy.
The Okavango delta boat tour gives you the chance to see elephants along the shallow parts, water birds, eagles, crocodiles. You have to be lucky to see water buffalos but it is possible. We did not see any :(

Great experience with friendly driver, always feeling safe&comfortable
We had a really great time in Uganda - definitely worth visiting! Our 6 day tour was great: we visited Queen Elizabeth NP, saw chimps and gorillas and went on a boat cruise on Lake Bunyonyi. Another highlight was visiting a local school financed by Gatatu - the kids were really great!
Gatatu Safari is a very good company - reliable, flexible and with very friendly people!

We had a great experience with home to Africa.
We were very impressed with the hotels and especially our driver, Abdul. He was calm and drove beautifully. He explained everything and went out of his way to take us on a safari drive when it was not even our time. He tried his best to give us the best experience possible and we are so grateful to him. Absolutely amazing!!!

Wildebeest Safaris 6-Day Tanzania Adventure - An Experience of a Lifetime!
My travel experience with Wilderbeest Safaris on their 6-Day Tanzania Adventure was excellent! My guide William was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He was always very punctual and made sure we were on our way to the next destination early for best viewing, etc. We saw a tremendous amount of game and wildlife, including a very large wildebeest migration stampede. In short, he made every effort to ensure that I had the best possible safari experience, which I certainly had!
Noah who made all the arrangements at Wildebeest Safaris was friendly, efficient and provided excellent service.
The camps and lodges were very good, especially the Ang'Gata Migration Bolognia Camp which was an amazing experience! I also very much enjoyed the Lake Burunge camp and the Tloma Lodge!
Many thanks to Wildebeest Safaris and to Noah and William in particular. It was certainly unforgettable and a true 'experience of a lifetime'! I hope I can return again one day.
