There's so much in terms of both variety and number of experiences, it's hard to capture one moment. Dolphins, elephants, stampeding water buffalo, oh and the wonderful stars at night, and the warm, smiling people. It was all unforgetable.

Excellent. As a family experience it could not be beaten. The guides and staff were excellent and made our holiday extremely informative and fun.

We had a brilliant time in Namibia; it's a fantastic country with an amazing variety of scenery, wonderful birds and animals and a great climate... and can be enjoyed without too much hassle, important when travelling with 4 children.

One special moment I shall remember is the magnificent braai organised in Scotia Park after a days game watching. The personal attention of the ranger, the quality and quantity of the food, the free bar, the kindness, the gentle music played around the campfire and the intimacy of the environment made this braai an unforgettable high.

Every day had a new highlight - camping in the Serengeti and hearing lions prowling around the site in the early hours, being invited into an elderly woman’s house in the Usambara mountains, snorkelling in the Indian Ocean

The best way to see the Wild life in Eastern Africa and the best way to go on Safari. If trekking was possible through the Masai Mara this would have been the only better way to see these amazing animals. For obvious reasons trekking is not possible and going in a car is the second best option.

Many wonderful memories, among which magnificent sunsets, mating lions and a leopard resting in a high tree near its prey, a young impala, lifted in the tree. Lions and leopard were seen in the Moremi Game reserve.

Community Work in Sasenyi Primary School - completing the foundations for a new classroom in record time & seeing how hard teamwork can make a crucial difference to people who have to live without much material support! But seeing six cheetahs was also very exciting!!

Great opportunities for game viewing without the overcrowding of vehicles often experienced in East Africa... The kids absolutely loved the sand boarding, quad biking in the sand dunes as did most of the adults!

The safaris were superb and far exceeded our expectations with the amount and variety of animals / birds that we were surrounded by on a daily basis. The people were both friendly and helpful and really made the whole holiday exceptional.

Most memorable was watching the animals at the water hole at the Okaukuejo camp in Etosha national park. We could have spent hours just sitting there watching them.

The most exciting part was being totally alone (or feeling like it) in the vast expanse of the Maasai Mara's rolling plains.

This was fantastic. The 4 crew from the operator worked extremely hard to make everything run smoothly and ensured we all had a great time.
