A truly wonderful wildlife experience with fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable guides!
As mentioned above we really had a wonderful time. Everything was up to expectations or exceeded expectations. Communication and service from Safari.com was faultless. Tydon safari camp and bush camp were incredible! The food was absolutely delicious (I am a coeliac but that was no problem - the women cooked scrumptious gluten-free food for me without the blink of an eye.) The guides who took us on safari drives and kept us entertained in the evenings were fantastic - their knowledge of the flora and fauna was absolutely outstanding and incredible! Our only regret was not booking for a longer stay! We will definitely be returning! Thank you so much!

Review about Karoo National Park by Sheila Jefferys
What a drive we had through the Karoo - the scenery is outstanding. For camera enthusiasts, you simply don't know which way to focus.

Review about Addo Elephant National Park by Sheila Jefferys
ADDO is a massive National Park with lots of wildlife, in addition to the large number of elephants. We had a wonderful day there - the highlight was seeing a family of elephants with 2 young cubs learning to feed. All at close quarters, fabulous.

Review about Chobe National Park by Larry W
The park is being eaten alive by too many elephants.

Chief’s Island in the Okavango Delta is as good as it gets in a safari destination.
I just spent a week at Mombo Trails camp in Botswana. I am somewhat of an old hand at African destinations since I have travelled the continent from north to south and east to west over 5 decades. However, I have never before seen so many critters up so close or been guided by professionals who knew more about the flora and fauna. The birds were gorgeous, the big cats magnificent, the other creatures plentiful and the backgrounds colorful and varied. Mombo Trails accommodations were comfortable and the food varied and delicious. The staff were solicitous but never intrusive. In short, this was the best safari experience I have known!

A tremendous safari with film permits in the Serengeti with Ethan Kinsey Safaris
This was our second time in the Serengeti with Ethan Kinsey (ethan-kinsey.com) as our amazing guide. This time around we had film permits which allowed us off-road access to the wildlife. The wildlife was as expected with great opportunities in both the Northern Serengeti and in the Namiri Plains area. The two locations provided good variety of scenery and different environments for the wildlife. We mixed wilderness camps with the Namiri Plains Lodge and both types of camp were great - a blend of privacy with luxury. You can view some of my photos at https://www.flickr.com/photos/scottseyephotos/ to see what you can expect - an unbelievable experience!!

South Africa offers everything to those who love wildlife, amazing countryside, beautiful people . .
Our South African safari outshone our expectations in every way : wildlife experiences, the ever-changing landscape, comfortable and affordable accommodation, delicious food and wine, and the wonderful, kind, and helpful South African people.
We had a first class tour guide in Derek Keeling "Experiencing a Lifetime in a Day" - he gave us a holiday of a lifetime. We left South Africa feeling sad to leave such an amazing and beautiful country and its people behind. If you're thinking about it - I'd recommend you book it.
