Weekend safari at Timbavati Game Reserve
Go Safari were fantastic at organising a safari weekend for me - they helped with flights and accommodation and recommended a really lovely lodge and were quick to respond and helpful throughout the process. The weekend was fantastic, we saw so many animals....i can't wait to come back to Africa and go on another safari :)

Safari in Madikwe, South Africa
We booked our summer vacation to South Africa that included a visit to Johannesburg followed by a trip the the Western Cape after which we took a safari in Madikwe. This was our first trip to South Africa and also our first real safari experience. Right from the booking process to the actual safari experience, it was a smooth process. Our expectations were fairly high and the trip definitely exceeded the expectations. Kids enjoyed the lodge as well as the game drives. Overall, it was an excellent trip!!

Jackpot safaris arranged our safari to Tanzania
We visited Arusha, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti Park. I have visited some parks cross Africa but Tanzania in my view, rates right up there amongst the best. Of course you have to get the timing right the big herds follow the rain and we did get the timing right. But it was Jackpot safaris the delivered a very special safari. Their arrangements worked like clocwork, not easy given the remoteness and terrain, small and remote, just perfect. But it was the quality of the guides their knowledge of the fauna and flora that made it so special. The guides were the best i have enjoyed in Africa and Jackpot Safaris is a wonderful conservation conscious safari company.

National Geographic right in front of my eyes!
If only words can describe what my eyes see and if only words can justify the magical feeling I experienced when I was at Timbavati Nature Reserve amongst the animals and nature. We got to a fantastic start as we saw two cheetahs sitting under a tree. According to our ranger (Amos) and watcher (Andrew) they've not seen any cheetah since more than 6 months ago. From then on the animals showed us who's in the house - lions, lioness, white lioness, leopard, rhinos, elephants, buffalos, hippos, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, impalas and kudus just to name a few. We saw them all! We even had the rare opportunity of seeing lions mating.
I've not been to other parks but I have to say that Timbavati exceeds my expectations. I hope that they continue to preserve the Park and make sure that the animals are protected from poachers. I can't imagine a future without these magnificent and beautiful animals.

An experience of a lifetime
Doing a safari in Botswana was on my "bucket list" and it did not disappoint. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. We rented a safari truck and did a private safari trip, cooked our own food (had fridge in the truck) and there were many beautiful and secluded campsites at the Park. They were certainly in the wild but we felt very safe in the campsites. They were very professionally run w great staff. Highlights are the beautiful weather, endless numbers of animals, and just taking in the moment.

A well arranged safari and an impessive experience!
Our son stayed in Kenya for a period of time and we decided to go and visit him there.
You can’t possibly visit Kenya and not go on a safari so therefore we decided to book one. We booked our game drive’s with Travel for Change. It was our first time to visit Africa and we had no experience with safari’s but we trusted Travel for Change that everything would be in order.
We enjoyed the beautiful parks so much: Amboseli and Tsavo-west. The three of us we enjoyed the luxury of a private van. That was really a plus on the whole trip.
The driver was professional and able to tell us a lot about the wildlife, the nature and also the country. With constant energy he kept driving us around to either find that one group of Lions or this beautiful group of elephants with cubs which made our safari so wonderful. Our nights we spent either viewing the animals from our hotel room or in a safari tent. It was so special.
The final morning in Nairobi, when we had to wake up very early to go to the airport, our safari-driver was there again to pick us up from the hotel and make sure we arrived at the airport in time.
It was an impressive experience for us and we look back on a perfectly arranged safari.

amazing safari: many animals, beautiful parks, excellent guide
The communication was very clear before the trip. We had a Skype session with Iris to go over the details, and final arrangements for pick up, what to pack, accommodations, itinerary, etc. The trip went off exactly as planned. The van was very comfortable, and able to go through high water, mud, ruts, with no issues. The tent camps and small lodges were all great, with good food, showers, service, friendly staff. The best things, of course, were the places we visited (mostly in serengeti national park) and the guide, James. He was a source of much info about the natural history of the animals, the environment, and the history/current events of Tanzania. He's very gracious and put maximum effort into searching for animals, and patiently waiting for for photos or looking up details about specific bird species. The trip exceeded my expectations--hard to imagine before actually seeing this part of the world how prolific the life is, and how accessible to viewing. It was an unexpected and very meaningful aspect of the to have such a personable and communicative guide as James.
