Our Safari with Moriti was the absolute most wonderful experience of a lifetime!
From the moment we landed in Johannesburg and were met by our guide, William, until we departed from Zimbabwe, our Moriti Safari was perfect. Working with Shaun to plan our private safari was so easy---everything worked out perfectly. William was just great. He was very informative and helpful.
Really, the whole experience surpassed our expectations. We saw the Big Five right away, along with so many other animals.
At MZumba Lodge we were treated like royalty! The accommodations, the food, the daily safaris were unbelievable! Our hosts, Berner and Rika, and the staff were super. And all for just the two of us! Incredible!
Shaun also planned our side trip to Victoria Falls. A sight not to be missed.
Moriti Safaris is the only way to go. We are already planning another trip with Shaun.

No extras. We had smooth and wonderful trip.

Breath-taking, once in a lifetime experience
A very high density of wildlife, very easy to spot in winter as the bush is very dry, of course with the help of the guides/trackers who are always keen to share their experience. Loved the Ecolodge experience, being into the nature and out of the world. It is very convenient to drive to the camps where the food is absolutely delicious.

Amazing to experience the wilderness of Kruger that's led by animals!
Kruger is one of the most amazing places I've ever been. I expected to go there just for the wildlife, but ended up admiring not only the animals but the beautiful and expansive nature and even started to appreciate all the beautiful birds. One of our greatest experiences was the wilderness walk we made. We stayed in a beautiful small camp in the middle of nowhere, were no cars and tourists can come. We slept just a few metres away from a waterhole with elephants, buffalos, rhinos and other animals around us throughout the day. Walking with the rangers was a once in a lifetime experience that you shouldn't miss when you visit Kruger. It was a great change after a few days of wildlife spotting in the car. However, I can recommend driving through Kruger as well. It's a great way to spot animals and enjoy the beauty of the park. We stayed at .. and .. and drove every day from 06:00 - 18:00. These early and late moments of the day are the best since animals you don't see during the day show themselves and give some spectacular viewings. I always thought that going to Kruger was only for 'rich people', but it's very affordable if you just go there with your own car and stay in a tent or small cottage in one of the camps. A must do when you're in South-Africa! And please bring your binocular and camera, but don't forget to enjoy the moments and don't just see the animals through your camera :-)

Review about South Africa by Anouk Pilon
South Africa is a great country full of beautiful nature ánd culture. These two make this country a great destination for a holiday. Just make sure you have some time to enjoy the different parts of this country and don't rush to see as much as possible in a short time. It's much better to really enjoy two or three places instead of seeing everything shortly. My ideal trip would be a week in Kruger (including a wilderness walk!), visiting Drakensberg and/or Blyde River Canyon and driving (part of) the Gardenroute. Please don't forget to do a township tour to see this part of the country as well and understand it a bit better. SA is beautiful, but there are still many challenges especially for the poor people. Please pay attention to this part of the country as well. The beggars on the street can be annoying, but take the time to listen to them and treat them like any other human. You don't support them by giving money, spend your money on the people who work for it instead. That's how you can really support the people and the country. And don't forget to enjoy! :-)

Far above our expectations
My family of six (3 sisters and our husbands) just got back last week from our African Safari tour with World Air & Travel Tours. What a trip! Having never been to Africa, we weren't sure what to expect. So we were very happy to see that it was simply amazing.
Elias had worked with us to tailor the dates, locations, and lodging just for us and our needs. He found a lodge for us that was far more luxurious and beautiful than any place I had ever stayed in. I could have stayed on for the whole trip!
However, we moved on to the Serengeti to our tent camping locations. They were actually very comfortable, with great beds! And the service by the camp staff was as good as any you'd find in fine hotels and restaurants in Europe. Great people!
Our guide was John. What a great guy! He drove through really tricky conditions and rough roads, but not once was I afraid with him behind the wheel. We all felt that he could be a professional stunt driver! He also was so patient with the amount of time we wanted to stare at the animals. He found all of them that we had wanted to see: elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, cheeta, leopard, wart hogs, millions of hooved animals. The migration was stunning.
We also were interested in finding as many types of birds as possible, and he knew the name of each one.
All in all, it truly was the Trip of a Lifetime. I've travelled to Europe many times, but this trip was so unique and memorable. If you are contemplating this trip, don't hesitate.

4 Days Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru Tour
We had a great time on a 4 day safari for two with Beacon Safaris and would definitely recommend to others. Robert was always very quick to reply and helpful with responses to our questions during the arranging of the tour. Being able to pay by PayPal was also a big plus for us. Eustus was our guide for the tour and we thought he was excellent, always on time, always helpful and knowledgeable in answering our questions and a lovely guy. He was brilliant at spotting the wildlife and working our way around the park on our own rather than with lots of other vehicles meaning we saw a lot of the wildlife without other vehicles around. The accommodation and food was very nice and everything went very smoothly. Overall we were very happy with our experience with Beacon Safaris.

Expert guide,a birder with uncommon knowledge, patience, & an eye for even the slightest movement
As a locally owned and guided tour operator, RA Safaris was professional in every way: knowledge of the animals and habitat was impressive, as was their graciousness in responding to our needs. Our guide was very professional, and his open, friendly manner created an atmosphere of comfort and security. RA Safaris communicated with us clearly, comprehensively and regularly during the planning phase and the tour went flawlessly. I enthusiatically recommend this company!

The trip was really a great experience for the whole family
The guide was very polite and helpful, and he worked hard to give us good chances to view the animals. When something happened, he was quick and clever to solve the problems, and we felt very safe with him. The accommodations were very good and gave us the right atmosphere being in Kenya and visiting the amazing natural parks with the abundant amount of animals.
We were also very satisfied with the Tanzanian guide and the adventures in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and the accommodations and very friendly people we met during our journey.
Perhaps the distance to be travelled from Masai Mara to Serengeti, along very bumpy roads, was a little undercommunicated. But it was also a chance to see more of the East African countryside and an interesting border city crowded with people.
The title reflect our overall feelings - the trip was a great success for us and we wish to thank you all in the Kay Adventure Tours and wish you all the well for the future.
