I could not have wished for a better safari experience than I got with Mega Adventures!
I'm so happy with everything from food, camping sites and the guides knowledge and service to the nationalparks, all the animals we saw and the overall experience.

I received excellent service after my first enquiry to the day we left. Thank you Robert Francis.
The 9 Day Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park and Okavango Delta package was above all expectations. The accommodation at Zambezi Sun, Chobe Bush Camp and the Oddballs Camp is highly recommended for food, comfort and friendliness. The game drives at Livingstone and Chobe were amazing and the Mokora and walking safari at Oddballs a great experience with the Hippos in the water not far away. The Leopard was the only one of the big 5 not seen during our Package.

Great!
Great experience, thanks Ilmaasai Expedition for the amazing time!
Excellent service and loved our trip
Robert was extremely helpful over email as well as over a few skype conversations. We stayed at Umlani Bushcamp in the Timbavati South Africa (Kruger area). It was the best experience of our lives and we saw all the wildlife you could have ever hoped to see up close.
Highly recommended tour operator, all of our transfers were on time and we had no issues at all.

Very good and fun experience in Tanzania!
We did 5 days private safaris tour as part of our honeymoon trip to go to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Bright African Safaris. Osman, our guide/driver was a very nice guy and made our trip very pleasant. Though it was a rainy season, the weather was nice and we could see many animals on the ground and on trees. First time to see lions on a tree and leopards on a tree! They provided us with professional, good and pleasant services. They were also flexible in scheduling and the like. (My wife's flight delayed and my wife's luggage did not arrive on time. However, they kindly re-arranged our schedule and we enjoyed the tour very much!)
My y wife and I recommend Bright African Safaris.

Kilimanjaro Trek
My wife and I booked our Kilimanjaro trek through Frank of Jungle Explorers Tanzania in January 2013. We hiked the Lemosho Route over the course of 8 days and successfully reached the peak of Kilimanjaro before sunrise on the 7th morning. Our porters and crew were excellent as well as professional, our guide was accommodating and when we wanted to do a bit of additional exploration such as hike up Cathedral and Shira Cave, it was no problem.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Frank to anyone interested in a Kilimanjaro adventure. He really made our Kilimanjaro trek one of the best memories of our Africa trip!

Review about Gonarezhou National Park by Jeremy Smith Photography
This is the second largest National Park in Zimbabwe and is simply "Wild and untamed" Lovely for photography but I'd suggest a vehicle with good clearance for some of the roads. Fantastic bird life and many of the larger animals you'd expect to see in Africa.

Spend time in an unspoiled wilderness with something to see round every corner
Hwange has been mostly untouched by the modernisation of the western world. The wildlife there is free and you can see it in the behaviour of the animals and birds. As you drive by them they watch you with what appears to be mild curiosity but have little fear if you don't get too close. The park is wonderfully safe (from people), nicely located 1.5 hours drive from Victoria Falls and is huge so one can drive around all day. The accomodation in the National Park's lodges is basic but comfortable. Clean bedding, Mosquito nets, Fridge/freezer, kettle, cooking and eating utensils. We had Elephants eating the tree pods all around our chalet at one point. As an Ex Zimbabwean and a wildlife photographer I love staying here. I'm also happy to stay at more expensive private lodges nearby but the chalets at Main Camp are lovely for me.

Review about South Africa by Lawson's Safaris
One word - diversity. It is a 'world in one country', with myriad different habitats and landscapes in a relatively small area (compared to say Australia or the USA). Ease of travel is another big plus.

Review about Zimbabwe by Jeremy Smith Photography
Zimbabwe is a safe country to drive in. Car hire is easy, efficient and there are plenty of places to go for fuel and supplies. The roads are generally good and there are things to see all over the place. National Parks all over the country where the wildlife viewing is varied as well as plentiful. The birdlife is out of this world. Zimbabwe has the advantage of having diverse soil types hosting diverse vegetation and therefore diverse flora and fauna. From the Dry Semi-desert of the South East and South West to the Pristine forests and perrenial streams of the Eastern Highlands.
