Review about Botswana by Anne M.
I loved Botswana, but this was my first safari, so I can't compare it to anything (however, I am planning to return to Botswana). The people are warm and welcoming; it's still wild and beautiful, unspoiled by billboards and commercialization. There is a variety of landscapes and scenery - from the hot dry desert to the cooler Delta.

Our 3th en best trip so far with Tailor made safari's
We did a selfdrive safari trip for the 3th time with Tailor Made Safaris’s
We started out trip in trip in black rhino lodge in Pilanesberg. This a ideal place to start because it’s only 3 hours drive from JNB. This lodge was great, the food was amazing. In the morning a long game drive to the public part of Pilanesberg. And in the afternoon a shorter drive in the private area. We were witness of a lion kill of a zebra!!!
Then we went to Kololo game reserve. The nice thing here is that you can mountain bike or walk between the giraffe zebra ect. A realy nice experience. We also went on a full day game drive in Welgevonden, especially the scenery is beautiful
After kololo we went tot leshiba venda village lodge, its a very special lodge, very beautiful. The staff is really nice. Game drives are mediocre because of limit amount of wildlife. Here you go more for the nice accommodation and view than safari.
Then we went to Kruger staying in various lodges, kruger was great we saw a lot of wildlife including leopard and lions. It was a nice change to go from (All in lodges) to BBQ ourselves. We did a game walk out of Sefapane in kruger, What is a real recommendation, the guides were realy nice an we saw a lot of game, leopard, hyena warthog.
After Kruger we went to Umkumbe safari lodge. The game drives here a good because they are allowed to go off road, and try to bring you really close. The houses you stay are very luxurious.
Last we we stayed at the Rissington inn in hazyview. To explore the panorama route. The rissington inn is very nice place to relax if you have bin on safari for 3 weeks. And the food is excellent.
Tailor made safari’s, made a perfect trip for us again !!! The communication was excellent and they did a great job of customizing a trip for us.

We had a great time on the Safari. We saw 4 of the big 5 many times just missed the Rhino
In addition to the great Safari our trip to Zanzibar was romantic and relaxing . The arrangement for airport transfers as well as managing our luggage ... the office extended themselves particularly regarding our travel as we were going to other countries. They kept the luggage while we were on Safari and arranged to have it available when we left the country.
We were able to take tons of pictures of wild life and the beautiful landscape.
We realize we only saw part of Serengeti and hope to come back to complete this park and other parks in Tanzania.

Amazing gorilla tracking in Rwanda
We had an amazing experience with the gorilla tracking! Our driver was very nice, polite and helpful. Also, he drove very safely. The gorilla tracking was lovely and the guides/guards as well. In summary: we loved the trip.

BEST tour guide!!!!!!
We just returned from Uganda, and we're lucky enough to have Twaha be our guide in Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth Park. We have done many trips like this with tour guides, and Twaha was a true gem. He helped us in any way he could, was flexible, conscientious, and very kind. He spent a lot of time with us looking for animals in Queen Elizabeth, and was successful! You will enjoy your experience of a lifetime with him. Please don't think twice. I am 100% confident in recommending him. Thank you Twaha! We miss you!!!!

Fantastic guide and fantastic experience
Everything about our trip was fantastic, and our guide (Twa) at Wild Jungle Trails was a big reason for that. We went to Bwindi to track the gorillas and spent 3 days doing safari at Queen Elizabeth NP. Twa got us into the gorilla tracking group that we wanted, and went above an beyond to take care of us (even going as far to take me to the hospital and sit with me for 3 hours during off hours at night). Top notch, personalized, and professional service from the moment we were picked up until our departure. Wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Gorilla Trail Safaris to anyone traveling to the region!

3 interesting hours with Morgan at the Fernkloof in Hermanus at November 14th 2016
Morgan accompanied us on a tour of the Fernkloof in Hermanus. It was very interesting to go with him and how he told us a lot about the plants and this area. We have learned a lot and also we have had a lot of fun with him. Next time when we will be in Hermanus we would like to go again with him. Thank you very much Morgan!

Incredible Experience Seeing Mountain Gorillas
One of the best experiences of our lives came when my wife Elena and I trekked into the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to spend an hour with a family of mountain gorillas. Truly magical! Rainforest and Community Tours made it all happen, and from the moment they picked us up at the airport to the time we said goodbye, they made us feel right at home in Uganda. We can't say enough about their service, kindness and professionalism, and we highly recommend them to anyone considered visiting the Pearl of Africa!

A trip of a lifetime
World Air Travel planned and carried out one of the best trips we have ever had. Elias at their office in Arusha liaised with us constantly and gave us a wonderful tour of four parks. Our guide, John, was brilliant and became a teacher and friend. We will never forget our trip and this was really due to the company and its efficient planning. We would unhesitatingly recommend them to anyone. Thank you again Elias and John.
