Canoeing on and walking by the great Zambezi River
I had a wonderful time on my Safari with Andy and TK as guides. I always felt completely safe and they were very professional and informative. The service and food was exceptional and all staff were great. We canoed down the Zambezi River for 3 days covering 80km. It was exhilarating at times but I loved every minute. The campsite was ready for us every day when we arrived in camp with smiling faces all around, a warm shower and a very comfortable bed. I would definitely recommend this to my friends. Thanks for helping to make the first leg of our Zimbabwe trip memorable.

Perfect Safari with Soul of Tanzania
We just came back from our safari through the parks in the North of Tanzania: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Lake Eyase, Ngoro Ngoro Crater, Central and Northern Serengeti.
I was travelling with my family, and it was the first safari experience for my 2 kids, aged 13 and 14.
It has been a stunning experience.
After some research we decided to go for the proposal of Soul of Tanzania, and we can only recommend this safari company.
Our guide, Dominique, was top-class: very knowledgeable, attentive to our needs, very experienced and an expert and careful driver, always willing to look for the best spot to view the cats or a river crossing.
The itinerary was very well designed, not too tiring and with a variety of landscapes.
The proposal to fly back from northern Serengeti instead of driving has proved to be a very good choice.
The accommodation resulted in a perfect mix of permanent camps, lodges and mobile camps, which was exactly what we were looking for. We particularly loved Chaka Mobile Camp in Northern Serengeti: unforgettable!
The hot lunches served every day during the game drives were much appreciated: we always were offered a wide choice of excellent food, and we were using steel dishes and cutlery, which were not only nice, but also are not producing tons of waste like the lunch boxes many other safari companies are providing.
At first I was a bit sceptical about the proposal to meet the tribes at Lake Eyase, we were in Tanzania for the wildlife and I was scared we would end up seeing something really just set up for tourists. After having met the Hadzabe, I must admit that it was just like entering in a time machine.
The wildlife we encountered in the parks just left us speechless: not only the big cats, but also the hundreds of flamingos and pelicans in Lake Manyara, the hyppos fighting for the territory, the thousands of wildebeests crossing the Mara River and the crocodiles hunting for them.
We enjoyed every second of our trip to Tanzania.

Amazing experience!
Arranged everything over whatsapp. Pamela was always prompt to reply any doubts we had. When we got there, she met us at the airport and introduced us to Peter, who drove us to the Masai Mara Lodge (which Pamela recommended me and we loved it) and stayed with us the 3 days taking us to the game drives. He knows a lot about the wildlife which makes the experience much more interesting. Managed to find 4 of the Big Five on the first day, and the last one on the following morning. He got very close to Elephants, Giraffes and even to the Lions and Cheetahs!! Even though we went ends of September, we still saw part of the migration going on, the last wildebeest returning home along with the zebras. Honestly, it was an incredible experience!! To see the animals free in their habitat is a privilege. Thank you Pamela and Peter! Will definitely recommend you to my family and friends. :)

Three awesome tours !!!
Africa Zim are really the best !!! Highly recommend !!!
Always punctual and well organised and everything as was promised.
We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the Boma dinner - loved the variety of food, the entertainment and
we were all given drums to beat ourselves. Even ate a worm & received a certificate !!
The unforgettable experience of walking with the lions was amazing - were given plenty of time to have photos taken while trying to keep up with their pace, lol - nice breakfast afterwards. Our 3rd tour was an incredible full day trip to Chobe where we saw animals everywhere - definitely one tour not to miss !!! thankyou to the guides for their organisation and help.

Exceptional Service - yet again!
This was my second time booking a tailor-made safari with Natasha Allan - that alone should tell you something! For the trip in August 2017, we wanted to do something special as we were both celebrating our birthdays that month. We wanted to visit three different private reserves and stay at least 4 nights in each. Natasha was able to advise us on which lodges would suit our needs best - we like unique and characterful properties - and was able to organise private transfers between each of the lodges/reserves for us. Natasha had up to date information on which lodges had better sized traverses, which type of animals we'd be likely to see in each area (we visited Klaserie, Timbavati & Sabi Sands), what inclusions each lodge had, the order we should visit them in which would be most cost effective, and she was also able to sort out flights between Kruger and Johannesburg for us. The entire trip went smoothly and without incident, nothing was a problem, and we were absolutely thrilled with the suggestions and itinerary that Natasha built for us. In the lead up to the trip, and even on our return home, Natasha was prompt and professional with responses to our emails. I would have no hesitation recommending Natasha and Sun Safaris to anyone looking to experience the best Africa has to offer. I have been to that stunning continent 5 times so far and can safely say all future trips will continue to be booked with Natasha and her team! Thank you Sun Safaris for an awesome trip, never to be forgotten!

The Crater is not to be missed
I spent a full day in Ngorongoro Crater as part of a 9-day safari in Tanzania. The wildlife was amazing. Within the first 20 minutes in the crater, we saw a lioness lying by the side of the road. We saw many more lions that day, along with Cape Buffalo, hyenas (including several feeding on a zebra kill), jackals, elephants, baboon, numerous hippos, warthogs and many Thomson's Gazelles. The birdlife was diverse and plentiful: Augur, Herons, Ibis, Ostrich, Cranes, Tawny Eagles, a Kite, Egrets, Guineafowl, Bustards, Vultures and Weavers. The scenery was spectacular, from the crater walls to the numerous dust devils. A truly amazing day.

Chobe National Park was the the quintessential Safari Park...saw all animals up close and personal!
We camped in the park for 2 nights and 3 full days....very rustic but amazing. We had elephants walk right past our tents and there was a wart hog in our camp one morning. The most amazing sight was two massive lionesses chasing down a cape buffalo and taking him down while a pride of 15 lions waited for the kill and then came in for the feast! Our guide was fabulous.
