A very memorable trip in a beautiful country. The Ugandan people are very welcoming and the wildlife is spectacular.
(more)Most memorable? Following the leopard going through the thick reeds of the dried riverbed... Being in the very middle of the 400 buffalos’ herd moving to another grazing field... Two gracious cheetah males crossing the tar road...
(more)The game drives. Our whole point in going to Africa was seeing wildlife close up, and it was abundant. Both the Porini Camps on their private conservancies, and the Masai Mara National Preserve offered spectacular game viewing. We couldn't have asked for more.

The most amazing holiday I have ever had. Like staying in 5* hotels but only better. Can't wait to go back...Most memorable was having elephants feed right outside our camp, visiting a traditional Maasai Village and watching a lion chase a Zebra on a night drive. (more)We simply had an amazing experience and felt we were experiencing a bit of the real Africa. Relaxing, enlightening, full of laughter, full of food, great activities, great "room", great welcome. The whole experience really was unbelievable and we cannot wait to return.
(more)Seeing animals in the wild, meeting other travellers, relaxing in amazing locations were the most memorable part...We enjoyed every part of it a lot!

I would definitely give this holiday ***** and have been merrily recommending it to anyone and everyone who will listen!!! (more)I felt this holiday was a win-win way of supporting African people. We got to see one of the most beautiful countries on earth and gained an insight into Kenyan culture, the local people gained employment and an incentive to protect the game life. (more)
The most memorable part of the holiday was the private walks with the Masaai and night drives in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy where we saw lions hunting & mating, a leopard on a stroll, porcupines, springhares, hyenas, etc. (more)All days and trip were memorable, but above all watching elephants crossing the river 30 metres away from us having lunch in Old Mondoro was the most. We are definitely satisfied. (more)Too many to mention but the safari parts of the holiday were certainly the highlight....Absolutely life changing - the most superb family holiday.
(more)I look back and smile about the whole trip, it was all so memorable! If I had to pick just one place, it would have to be Msambweni House. The staff and setting were just so amazing.
(more)
Thanda Game reserve has to be the most memorable although it was hard to pick a specific part of it. It was fantastic and we couldn't have been treated better or had a more pleasant experience ... we will be back. (more)
Our children (13 and 15) got as much out of meeting the local people in towns and villages as they did from seeing the vast array of wildlife. Now they realise you really can make do on a minimum of possessions and things can be fixed (in very inventive ways), not thrown away when they break; a life changing experience for them.

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 (more)
Everywhere we looked there were birds: on the water's edge, in the air, perched in trees. Crocodiles slipped into the water and there were pods of hippos, plus giraffes, elephants, buffalo and impala.

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. (more)Most memorable part? Perhaps it’s the first time we saw a lion or the family of cheetah... but then it could as easily be meeting and chatting with our Maasai hosts... (more)
It was our first visit to Africa. I can now understand why so many people have a love affair with Africa! It is impossible vast and breathtaking. The people were friendly and welcoming. It's a surprising land of contrasts. (more)We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
Its 5.45am in South Luangwa National Park. In the copper-grey half dawn we gather around a still smouldering camp fire and prepare for the ultimate bush experience – a walking safari in which we can expect to track and see South Luangwa’s heavy brigade of elephant, buffalo, hippo and possibly even lion. Without a qualified guide to escort us we’d not be troubling the caterers for lunch. Ten years ago 80% of safari guides in the valley were white. Now 80% are Zambian and Daudi Njobvu explains what to do if we come across a four legged juggernaut having a bad day. Read more about tailor made safaris in this tailor made safaris article.
