Awesome
Where do I start, Ute was great, we got our whole experience by default, and we loved every bit of it. First of all where we wanted to stay was fully booked so Ute suggested doing 3 Nights at Nottens Bush camp, this place was excellent, such a personalised experience, the owner socialised and ate with us, we loved this and got alot of information from this experience, our guides here were wonderful. For the second half of our stay Ute suggested 1 night at Rhino Post Lodge, with A Game Drive and 2 nights at Rhino Post Camp with one of these nights in a sleepout with us doing Walking Safaris. But for some reason I thought it was the other way round with the Game drive, I thought I didn't like walking Safaris. The Rhino Post Lodge tried everything to change it for me, but couldn't as they were totally booked. Although it turned out we had the camp all to ourselves on the first night and we were told we could do a part walk and part drive if we wanted to.
All I can say is that I loved everything... Read more about it, our walking/drive Safari was awesome. We came across some Vultures in a tree so we decided to head in that general direction, as we were going in we then saw a Hyena hanging around and we started to get excited, by this time all of our senses were on edge, we then saw this massive Lion, as soon as it saw us he took off, we did manage to see the remains of his kill.
Moe, our guide was awesome, a very knowledgeable man, very nice and respectful, what an assett to this company.
I must say I am still not a big Walking Safari fan but I absolutely love the Walking/Driving Safari that we were offered. But that is just me.
We then had a night at the Sleepout, boy was this an experience, sleeping out under the stars, actually not much sleeping was done with the Lions and Hyena calling all night and the Elephants that feeding all around us, crashing trees.
We saw loads and loads of animals and I would not hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone, we would definitely do this trip again

Panorama Tour and Kruger Park 7 days with Jaco
This was the adventure of a lifetime. Amelia (Administration Manager) was fantastic, efficient and flexible with our requests of which camps to stay at and food requirements (diabetic and gluten free).
We chose the Panorama route to experience the countryside and special natural attractions before heading to Kruger National Park.
Our wonderful guide (Jaco) was so passionate and knowledgeable from the start to end of our trip. He went the extra mile to ensure our sightings of not only the Big 5 but other animals, birds, flora and more.
We were kept busy all the time with no time wasted sitting around the camps.
Jaco also provided us with great meal conversation along with healthy, yummy and appropriate food. The braii food was very tasty each night.
When we weren't on organised open vehicle drives, Jaco took us out in his closed vehicle for further adventures.
We (Mother and Daughter) loved this experience and now have a much better awareness of the animals,... Read more their behaviours, their impact on the environment and their survival skills.
And yes we sighted the Big 5!!! and much more!!
Thank you Jaco and Amelia for a personalised tour that exceeded our expectations AND value for money. We are recommending Red Africa Safaris to all our family and friends.

Uganda is definitely worthwhile to visit.
"E-Trip Africa" was fabulous. Ben, the owner, was great to work with. He was so helpful in suggesting variations from the suggested plan. Milton, our driver/guide was excellent. We have traveled many times and at first were a little nervous going with a company that the only information we had to go on was that we had gathered from the I/N. Everything went so smoothly. Milton was so efficient, knowledgeable, and took such good care of us. The scenery was great, both the Chimpanzee and Gorilla treks were outstanding and all the accommodations were very good. Great choices and well researched by the company. We had plenty of good food and a never ending supply of bottled water. We were very sad to leave Milton after 7 days as during that time we felt we had made such a great new friend. Ben, the owner, even made a special trip to visit us at our hotel in Arusha, Tanzania after our tour with his company. We would highly recommend E-Trip Africa for any East Africa Travels.

super!!!
Nous sommes réellement content de notre safari organisé par mwajabu. Vous pouvez lui faire confiance, les yeux fermés, elle est trés joignable via whatsapp, elle fait tout pour votre confort et que tout se passe bien !
Les chauffeurs étaient super! le guide mickael, francophone et tellement gentil.
Nous avons logé à hippo camp , nous pensions faire du camping mais nous avons eu de la chance, il y avait peu de gens donc nous avons eu un bungalow, ne vous attendez pas au grand luxe , mais il y a le nécessaire, pour se laver et dormir.
La nourriture était trés bonne. Concernant le safari, nous avons fait 2 demi journées, nous aurions aimé faire un peu plus, nous avons vus des girafes, des zebres, des gazelles, des gnous, hippopotames, crocodiles , phacochères et des lions ... nous n'avons pas eu la chance de voir des éléphants mais bon ça reste un voyage magique gravé dans nos mémoires .
Petit conseil pour ceux qui iront à selou et qui souhaitent finir leur séjour par... Read more zanzibar, il y a un avion qui fait le trajet ( 30 mn ) tous les jours moyennant 200 dollars par personne. vu le retour en voiture a dar es salaam ( 5H30 ) et apres en bateau ( 2H) pour aller a zanzibar, nous aurions du prendre cette option.

Awesome.
What a great company, when Annette tells you not to stress, and I am a stresser, you don't need to stress. She had everything organised, accommodation was wonderful & our guides were The Best!
The Guides, Joesph for Kenya was awesome, loads of fun and we saw heaps. It was a great Kenyan experience with him.
Gabriel for Tanzania was also great, very quietly spoken, reserved and respectful. We also had alot of fun with Gabriel and it to was also a wonderful Tanzanian experience. I still get a thrill when I think of the time when we with Gabriel and we came upon a pride of 17 Lions coming down a hill through the grass stalking the Buffalo. I didn't know which direction to point the camera. This has to be my highlight of the whole trip.
These 2 Guides were awesome and I would definitely request them again.
The only thing that was a draw back was the vehicle for Kenya. Kenya has the worst roads and we had a Pop Top Van, it was very rough and uncomfortable on the public... Read more roads, I actually had to get massages to relieve the back aches I was getting from it, once you were in the Parks it was good though, it should be a 4x4 like Tanzania has.
I did actually speak to Annette about this.
But over all, Highly, Highly recommend Boundless Africa Journeys and would definitely use them again.

Excellent trip
Our trip (Seth Vincent company) was incredible. Amazing adventure with Tom, Morris, Simon and Califa. Everything well right and the company was really worried about the trip. Both drivers tried to find every kind of animal, and did it. Perhaps the cars should be replaced for better ones in a the future, but both Safari-van and Land Rover worked incredible. Totally recommended if you want to have a good trip for a reasonable price.
