Amazing!
We shared our visit to Masai Mara with some friends, who had never done Safari before. We enjoyed their enthousiasm :-). In the park you find no traces of any human waste, the wildlife was abundant. The one thing we missed, were the big groups of wildebeest, but this time of the year, most of them are in the Serengeti.
In 4 days, we have seen Lions, cheeta, zebras, wildebeest, hartebeest, maraboe, mangoest, impala, topi, hyena, buffalo, gazelle, vultures, crocodile, hippo, eagles ....
We hope to visit the park again.

If you like driving through beautiful scenery and spotting wildlife, Ethosa is the place to be!
We spend a couple of beautiful days at Ethosa national park. Starting near namutoni, we first discovered the very eastern part of the park, spotting a great variety of colorful birding and wildlife at fisher's pan. On our second day we drove through the park to okaukuejo, taking as many loops as possible and exploring different areas of the park. We were especially fascinated by the great variety of landscapes and the animals which inhabit it. Seeing elefants, giraffes, zebras and other animals so closely is just amazing and in my opinion you will never get sick of it....unfortunately we didn't spot any cats, it might be different if you don't choose to do a self drive but book a safari because many guides know special areas in which lions, leopards and cheetahs live.
Nevertheless we had a great time. A personal highlight was the water whole at okaukuejo, where you can just sit and watch wild animals in their natural habitat - an amazing opportunity for unique moments. I'd recommend Ethosa to anyone visiting Namibia.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Tina Case
The Serengeti experience was a nice change from the Ngorongoro Crater. The vegetation and the landscapes provided a different background for the wildlife. We saw a group of elephants grazing in the savannah which was breathtaking. The vastness of the Serengeti was amazing from the Hot Air Balloon ride we took (Serengeti Balloon Safaris) and one of the highlights of our 2-week stay. We ate a traditional English breakfast underneath an iconic acacia tree which was just incredible. The people, the sites, the wildlife were amazing. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Ngorongoro Crater is a Tanzania MUST-DO with exceptional landscapes and wildlife
In the two-weeks that my small tour group was in Tanzania, we spent over a week in and around Ngorongoro Crater. We saw the wildebeest migration, lots of zebras, lions, giraffes, cape buffalo, cheetahs, wart hogs, hyenas, various birds and more. Our guides were the best, spotting the wildlife and in constant communication with other drivers and guides to show us the best sites and wildlife. The various campsites we stayed were 5-star quality with wonderful staff, great meals, hot showers and conveniences that made our stay so memorable. While we had a few rainy days, it was all part of the experience. I took over 8000 photos that have been edited to about 2500 wonderful images. I was part of a photo safari that guided us through some of the best images for my portfolio. This trip has peaked my interest in Africa, wanting to learn more about Tanzania, its people, and about the endangered animals (elephants, rhinoceros) that shape the wonderful Ngorongoro and surrounding Serengeti areas.

Namibia combines beautiful scenery with exotic wildlife and is therefore an amazing opportunity for every overseas visitor to experience this side of Africa.

Review about Tanzania by Tina Case
I've been to Africa before, but never on a safari. Tanzania exceeded my expectations with incredible wildlife imagery, seeing animals in their natural habitat up close and personal. We rode in Toyota Land Cruisers that were altered to allow us to stand and view from within the vehicle. These cruisers took a beating on the dirt roads whether in mud or unpaved roads. The drivers always got us to and fro safe and sound. The birding was more than I expected, from hummingbirds to ostriches, it became one of my favorite forms of wildlife to see. Of course the Big 5 were on my list, but the birds were extremely interesting. I highly recommend a Tanzanian safari to anyone interested in seeing wildlife in its natural surroundings.

Excellent service, efficient, timely and professional.
We booked our entire trip to Kenya and Zanzibar from Canada. Wild Destinations assisted us with every aspect - taxi from airport to B&B, safari planning, local excursions and accommodations for the 3 weeks we were there. We communicated by email and skype to get everything in order - information, bookings and payment was all done efficiently, timely and securely. The entire trip exceeded our expectations and we cannot wait to travel to Kenya again. I would highly recommend Wild Destinations for their professionalism and excellence.

Not what expected for 1600 USD/person.
Six nights in Serengeti. First night in Impala Hotel in Arusha was awful. We did'nt have electricity in the room and in the bathroom. Breakfast was awful. Never accept Impala Hotel ! Tour and guide itself was good. The standard was not what was promised. Luxory tented camp was far from luxory tent. I have been in a luxory tent as well. Arrangements in Arusha at the end of the tour were poor. 1600 USD price/person is far too high compared with the standard.

Good job
Me and my girlfriend booked a 6-day safari with Safarihub
We had 4 Stunning safari days in Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Andrian always fullfilled our needs and had a really sharp eye for rare animals. But more importantly he knew nearly evereything about the animals, the flora and fauna and even about other topics. Many stories were told along the way so it was never boring at all.

Great animals and sights!
I took the five day tour and had companions on the standard 3-days to Maasai Mara and was by myself for the last 2 days. Of course, Maasai Mara was wonderful (the optional visit to the Maasi village is highly recommended.). The intriguing part of the trip is Hell's Gate national park where you can bike and hike, a pleasant change from being in the van. Nothing like riding right by giraffes crossing the path! Yo kinda have to go with the flow. I'd recommend bring along some sealed snacks.
