Safari in Zambia
These people know African travel and they know it well. This was our second trip to Africa. We spent 2 weeks in Zambia-south Luangwa (Bushcamp Company camps) followed by the Lower Zambezi(Chiawa and Old Mondoro). During the initial conversation with Jono, he carefully listened to what we were looking for and the price we were prepared to pay. We already had a few camps in mind and Jono gave us his views on them. Within days he came back with a number of options.. He kept us up to date with any changes to flight schedules and visa requirements. Answer every possible questions we had by email within hours! We also enquired with 2 other companies- neither really listened to us and came back with quotes on the wrong camps. The camps we stayed at were excellent-everything as expected and often beyond our expectations. All transfers and pick ups etc were organised perfectly. We will definitely use them again and would have no hesitation in recommending them to our friends. Another plus was they have a staff member based in Jo'burg whom we could call and message, which was handy when we had little queries during the trip.

First Class
We thoroughly enjoyed our almost 3 week trip through Namibia, Botswana and Zambia. Nick put together for us a well paced itinerary that took in some amazing experiences and sights. Big thanks to Jakes for looking after us and sharing his enormous knowledge of the flora, fauna and people.

Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by Harold Brown
Pilanesberg was my first experience visiting a game reserve. That was in 1998 and it was a nice experience. Many of the larger animals I saw were at quite a distance away so it wasn't like visiting Kruger, but I did see lions trying to chase down their dinner without success which was my only experience of the chase. So each experience can bring something new.

Life Time Experience
A safari, by far, is one of the best adventures you will ever make. I have been on 5 safari's in South Africa and Botswana, including a river safari and each one was a fantastic experience. I spent 4 days at Kruger but a Safari experience is an adventure that cannot be measured in time alone. Driving through the park and taking in the scenery and wildlife is like traveling through the past. I stayed at Skukuza Rest Camp where the accommodations are nice but simple. I think the simplicity helps with the overall experience of a time long gone when the animals roamed a far greater portion of Africa than they do today. Take your camera and enjoy the drive.

Review about South Africa by Harold Brown
South Africa has many game reserves and experiences to meet your desires. Ngala is a private game reserve where a smaller number of guests and experienced trackers and drivers can take you to what you want to see. I visited Ngala in 1998 and what a great experience of getting up close to leopards and lions. The bush vibe in private game reserves is a certain.

Awesome!
An amazing trip that couldn't/wouldn't have happened without Safarihub . They captured exactly what we wanted to do and made that possible in this trip. Fantastic people that we met whilst out there and definitely want to return

Fantastic Trip - Well organised and tailored to our liking
Two females travelling Rwanda for 8 days. The trip was tailored exactly to our request and everything was extremely well organised with daily itineraries, hotel details and contact numbers as well as emergency numbers for the Agency. I was extremely impressed and plan to go back to East Africa next year with the assistance of E-Trip Africa. We had a great selection of hotels and activities and not a single glitch throughout the trip. ETrip Africa know what they are doing when it comes to the region! They have clearly traveled the area and are familiar with the field and organise your trip accordingly. They have access to great Guides on the ground which is critical. We had an amazing guide, Kevin, with us for the entire duration. He was friendly and full of interesting and useful information and was able to talk to us about our political, historical, environmental and social curiosities about Rwanda.
One of the best organised trips with friendly, accommodating and pleasant agents - everything was simple and easy and they will ensure all is taken care of and well organised so you can enjoy completely worry free. Sent them a lot of emails with questions and they were extremely responsive with all queries. Thank you for everything! Highly recommend ETrip Africa and highly recommend Rwanda - dont let the press and general perceptions misguide you. The country is one of the cleanest, most efficient, friendliest, socially developed and safest countries I have travelled (and I have travelled to approx 50 countries).

Hello Driving!
Our guide was very kind, knowledgeable and an excellent driver. The animals were terrific. All of the lodging was great especially the Mipito Tent Camp - the only exception was an aiport hotel in Dar Es Alaam. Please be warned about what the actually itinerary will look like! I failed to understand that the morning and evening game drives would be preceeded and followed by very long drives through the Serengeti. Instead of being able to relax at a lodge or campsite, we spent 12 hours a day for three days in a safari jeep over very rough roads getting from one place to another and then slowing down for the game drive portions. It was awesome to see the vastness of the Serengeti and the animals - but a morning or afternoon break would have been welcomed. We tried to do both the Serengeti and the crater in one trip and I would suggest you only do one unless you have more than 4-5 days to spend on safari.

Excellent Experience with Hello Tanzania
From beginning to end, we were very well taken care of by Mwajabu and Hello Tanzania. Two members of our group had food allergies - soy and gluten - and they did a great job taking care of us. In particular, we loved our guide on the safari - Richard. We were in great hands, saw amazing wild life, and never felt unsafe.
Thanks for a wonderful vacation!
