Wow! where would we start? Muba - a great and knowledgeable guide with a tremendous sense of humour, Jackson a terrific cook and again a great sense of humour. Stumbling upon elephants whilst walking to the viewpoint at the Serengeti park gates.
(more)Kruger National Park was the most exciting - we saw absolutely everything there was to see - Rhino, Hippo, Lions, Elephants, Leopards, Crocodiles, Hyenas, Baboons, Water Buffalo, Impala, Wart Hogs, Kudu, Springbok and Birds too numerous to mention. (more)
Tanzania was better than I could ever imagine! So many incredible animals and birds and the biggest crocs I have ever seen. For three nights we camped about 70 metres from the river Mara (and said crocs!)... The best I have ever been on. (more)Excellent...All was thoroughly memorable, but probably the but Africat and Etosha were both superb (more)Oh my goodness, there was such a kaleidoscope of wonderful memories, so many amazing vistas, experiences and moments it is hard to choose one. I will however, for me it was sitting at 5am at our lodge's floodlit waterhole and seeing a male lion, followed by his females, coming down to drink just yards away. (more)Most memorbale was almost walking into a zebra on my way to the toilet one night! The camping was challenging for me, but it was worth it to hear animals at night. 5 stars. (more)It was the most comfortable camping I have ever experienced. The tents were bigger than our bedroom, the food was incredible and the hot, private in-tent camp shower so refreshing. But we were truly out in the wild and could hear baboons near our camp and find elephant dung behind the tents. (more)The complete Namibian experience was really fantastic. I have been on 2 previous safaris, but this was certainly the best! (more)If you want adventure and excitement and an experience to remember forever then you will love it. (more)Brilliant! Camping in the Okavango Delta and the helicopter rider over the Victoria Falls were most memorable.

A fantastic taster of different landscapes and activities - excellent chances of seeing a range of wildlife. Well organised, fab pre-trip info and assistance despite a last minute booking, and really friendly and professional guides. (more)Ethiopia is a beautiful country and confounds every expectation. Having Live Aid so firmly etched in my mind, I went expecting to see abject poverty and desert but instead found myself overwhelmed by the majestic landscapes and besotted with the independence and pride of the Ethiopians.

Another magical site would be on the first dawn game drive we did and managed to see a pride of lions basking in the morning light, a cheetah prowling the plains and then the elusive leopard lazing halfway up a tree! (more)When we descended into the rift valley, we came across a family of nine Giraffes. I had not been to Africa before, and this was the moment that it sunk in what I was about to experience. (more)There were so many memorable moments it's hard to choose one. But seeing a leopard in a tree with its kill was right up there... Trip of a lifetime - fantastic. (more)
Absolutely amazing - super balance of safari, mountain climbing and relaxing at the beach in one trip. Don't think it can be beaten!

Hiking to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro was a memorable (and, on summit day, very challenging) accomplishment. In the Serengeti we saw three male lions attempt to hunt a hartebeest, which was amazing. (more)
The most memorable part of my holiday was spotting my own Leopard, thanks to our top notch driver/guide who taught us how to look for wildlife... This safari was wonderful and highly recommended. Definitely 5 stars. (more)The wildlife, the stunning location of our accommodation was truly memorable... A truly unique experience. Great service pre-booking. Great service "on the ground" - including all transfers etc. Thank you!
