Exciting and thrilling Safari with the team from Kenya Walking Survivors Safari
It was an Exciting and Thrilling experience, which we shall cherish for a long time. Right from arranging our stay, food and SIM for communication it was all flawless. Even Rare animals like the Sowa cat and the Black Rhino were both sighted and, even the most sought after animals like Lions, Elephants, Rhinos walked past our vehicle so closely that, we felt we could touch them. Most of the animals we observed, were from such a close distance, we could almost smell them. Food was made as personal as possible by a special cook assigned for the entire safari. I would recommend Kenya Walking Safaris to all my friends and assure them that your trip will be cost effective and well arranged.

The Big five an amazing experience
What can I say..... What an amazing experience. The communication before I went was spot on, Andre's instructions were clear, precise and when I arrive at the airport everything went like he said it would. I had the pleasure of meeting andre while out in South Africa. He is a top bloke, who is very passionate about South Africa and will do anything to make sure you have an enjoyable time and that you are happy with everything.
The safari was everything I wanted it to be with in the first three hours of the safari we saw all of the big five. We saw countless animals; lions, buffalo, leopards, elephants (x20 and in herds), Giraffes, Rhinos (at a distant lol), Warthogs, Empla's, Waterbucks. The animals were so close it, it was brilliant. The safari staff were great and their ability to spot the animals is just incredible.
I wasn't really knowing what to except when it came to the accommodation. But I can report I was very happy, not 5 Star, But clean comfortable and the service from the staff was amazing, really 5 star. I really felt like they cared about my experience.
Lastly if your thinking about about going on safari do it, It will truly be the experience of a life time and If you choose South Africa, use safaribooking.com YOU won't regret it.

Spectacular
Communication was prompt and clear and the service was wonderful. The driver was well versed with Uganda and gave us tour information as needed. Never realised how fast we got to Kampala from Entebbe as the driver kept us fully engaged with Ugandan stories. Great time keepers and very social crew.

Very good experience in Tanzania with RA Safaris
We collected over 20 quotations from different agencies before we go to Tanzania, the price from RA is the lowest, and we were afraid the quality is not good because of the low price. But the actual experience is very good, the service from RA is really great value for money. our driver&guider Omer and chef Meik is very professional. we will choose RA again if we go to Tanzania in future.

An adventure I'll never forget :)
Justin is an awesome tour guide! When you do a tour, do request him. My group came from University of Wisconsin La Crosse on a study tour, and over the course of a week, we went to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara Biosphere Reserve, and Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area. We saw so many cool animals, two Maasai villages, and some spectacular views :)

Magical!
Hamiltons Tented Camp is truly a magical place. The moment you arrive, you are transported back in time. Everything from the the decor, the service, the ambience, beautifully recreates colonial safari days. The game rides are excellent and Gareth is an all-consuming conservationist. The meals are delicious and meticulously prepared by Chef Abel who clearly takes pride of his culinary skills. The service staff are attentive and courteous and couldn't be fault with. Such a wonderful experience overall!
PS: The only problem I had was that no one came to pick me up from Hamiltons on arrival at Skukuza Airport on 30 June 2016. Apparently, all the transfers weren't available, and someone from Outlook Safaris had to send me there. First, there was confusion if I had booked to stay at Outlook and not Hamiltons. Then, the driver had no experience going to Hamiltons. I waited more than an hour at the airport, anxiously waiting for the driver & tour operator krugerpark.com to sort out my booking. It wasn't a good start to see everybody else leaving with their rangers on waiting trucks and you're the only single lady left on the tarmac.

Extremely informative, easy walk and very caring.
Our booking was made the day before and Chesmo (driver) and Chiwelli (guide) were prompt to pick us up at 5:45 am. They were both very friendly and enthusiastic to make our trip as informative and interesting as possible. Were were accompanied by another young American couple who were friendly and interesting. We picked up our armed guard at the gateway of the national park and headed off to sign our indemnity forms beside the Zambezi river as the sun rose over the African savannah behind us. We then took a short drive to our drop off where we headed off to find their dependant rhino's. Dependant because they rely heavily upon their 24 hr guards to keep them safe from poachers. Our guide and guard were in constant contact with the Rhino's carers and after a comfortable walk we found the rhino's quietly grazing; they were shortly joined by two other Rhino's. They were fascinating to watch as we listened to our guide and guard tell us of their history. The guard was also one of their carers and so had a very empathetic relationship almost as if they were his own children. This walk was finished off again down by the Zambezi river with tasty muffins and juice. It was well worth the time, money and effort. Excellent!

Fantastic trip!
I loved everything about this trip . The company is great to work with, very very helpful. The trip itself was fantastic. I would have liked to continue on for several more days. The trip I took was 4 days, 3 nights--from Chirundu to Mana Pools. The scenery was beautiful and we saw lots of wildlife--mostly hippos, but also crocodiles, elephants and a wide variety of birds. The nights spent camping on islands were wonderful. Tons of stars overhead. The tents and sleeping gear were very comfortable and the food was great. The guides were terrific as well--very knowledgeable and personable. I would highly recommend this trip! The paddling was not strenuous and it's a remarkable way to experience a very beautiful part of Zimbabwe.

Thank you Safarihub Crew
It all worked superbly. Putting that sequence of elements together is bound to add up cost wise, but absolutely everything I asked for was organised, and all the bits added together remarkably efficiently. James from safarihub team was quite right that finishing with the beach rather than the safari was a better sequence.
