Seeing animals was the highlight. 9.5/10. (more)Chris Mortimer

We were of course expecting to enjoy seeing the wildlife, but our week's holiday provided much more than that. The Porini camps we stayed at were wonderful - eco-friendly, lovely setting on private conservancies, employing people from the local Massai communities. (more)Anna Economides

(The holiday) certainly exceeded my expectations, but the fact that my wife and children all cried when we finally had to go home demonstrates that everyone thoroughly enjoyed it (more)Neil Morris

The safari was amazing. We had some fantastic game sightings, seeing 4 of the big 5 but lots more besides. (more)Louise Walsh

We had a great combination of time in Capetown, days at the safari game reserve in Kwazulu Natal, time at the Indian Ocean, and then relaxation in Durban before heading home. The whole experience was truly a memorable one. (more)Monica Belan

Every part of every day was special in some way. Of course seeing really wild animals in the really wilds the best bit. (more)Jill Jesson

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! (more)Judith Frehner

The scenery is amazing and shipwreck lodge is special - all the lodges were very good. (more)David Fawcett

The whole holiday was amazing though for me the desert dunes at Sossusvlei take some beating. (more)Liz Treadway

Memorable parts? Seeing the great migration, thousands of wildebeest crossing a river while making a "snoring" sound. We stayed their watching them for several hours. Wonderful. Tips? Think about the fact that you want to go camping or prefer staying in a lodge. The bathroom-facilities on the camping sites are basic. Local benefits? Our guide was really concerned with respecting the natural habits and behaviours of the animals and he always put this before trying to fulfil... (more)Suzy Mentens

Memorable parts? A bit of background: we contacted the holiday provider about a Tanzania holiday and then, as we emailed back and forth, we came up with a cunning plan to go to Zambia (our daughter and son-in-law had recommended it as a less-touristy country in Africa), first to Nkwali in S Luangwa National Park, and then to Tongabezi near Livingstone. Memorable moments: The first was seeing leopards in S Luangwa National Park -- I'd seen one before, lolling in a tree. My OH had seen none.... (more)Louise Race

Memorable parts? Everything went perfectly well. My family and I will never forget this holidays ever. Encountering wild animals, sleeping in a tent or exploring Stonetown were experiences that will linger for ever. Tips? Get an agency that’s familiar with the place and hotels you are going to visit, like we did. Local benefits? Yes, we visited one Maasai village and contributed economically to them. Overall rating? Fabulous experience to travel with the children. (more)Luciano Casanova

Botswana was the best. We want to go back today!! One of the most memorable moments is arriving in our first camp, and barely two hours later, sitting on a Land Rover just meters from a male lion, and nothing between him and us! Just amazing! (more)Dirk Bettels

Do it! Money well spent... (more)Katrin Nyman Metcalf

Memorable parts? Definitely the walking safaris at Chikoko and Crocodile camps in the South Luangwa. Tips? The style of camps at Tafika, Chikoko and Crocodile looks very natural and simple, even basic - and you v=certainly feel really at one with the bush and animals - however they have thought of all your comforts - the food and dining is first class, the rooms have every comfort you need (ensuite showers, hot running water and flushing loos) Local benefits? Yes. Tourism... (more)Sarah Pajwani

Memorable parts? It was all absolutely amazing. The bits that still jump are, seeing a one week old baby cheetah, which was breathtaking and the highlight of game drives. The bush dinner we had on our last night and sitting around the camp fire, with just my family. We were outnumbered two to one and sat and talked with them, we were interrupted by their spontaneous outbursts into song and the sounds of a nearby lion roaring. Our guide, Manfred, appeared to have a sixth sense for spotting... (more)Tom Gibson

Memorable parts? I loved seeing the seal colony in Kleinsbaai and all of the Shamwari experience. Tips? If your safe is too small don’t leave valuables to chance in your room - use the reception safe at your hotel. Local benefits? I take great comfort in knowing that the places we stay at through Responsible Travel benefit local people more than other places. The marine tour and safari experience supported conservation, and we made extra donations wherever we went. I don’t... (more)Lucy Rodriguez

Memorable parts? Seeing all the wonderful wildlife. Meeting the Masai in their village. The Ngorogoro crater was spectacular. The Serengeti was just beautiful We fell in love with Pongwe beach hotel! Too many highlights to pick just one! Tips? Take a good camera with zoom lens, and good quality binoculars. Take Immodium tablets - you are bound to need them at some point! Develop a good relationship with your guide, they are invaluable at spotting wildlife and know where to look. We... (more)Penny Goff

Memorable parts? 1) seeing all the animals, 2) Meeting some really lovely people and making friends. 3) The guides and trackers were absolutely brilliant and really made the holiday. and 4) The whole organisation of the holiday from the first meeting at the airport to the drop off when we were going home.

Murchison Falls was wonderful but seeing the gorillas was something we had wanted to do for many years so was probably the highlight of the trip... The holiday was absolutely excellent. (more)Nigel Jennings

The joy of trekking to see mountain gorillas will stay for a lifetime. (more)Clare Wigston

Fantastic definitely - would recommend this operator, we met lots of other UK tourists whilst we were in Uganda and would say that our holiday organisation and information seemed better than the various other companies, the other tourist were travelling with. (more)Linda Walker

Memorable parts? Staying in Camp Hwange - incredible location, accommodation, food, wildlife and above all fantastic guides. Also white water rafting on the Zambezi - well worth it! Tips? Ensure you visit a few different national parks to maximise different wildlife sightings . Local benefits? Yes. Overall rating? Fantastic. (more)Victoria Kronsten

Most memorable was the stay at the Ottball tented camp. One morning 4 elephants showed up and stayed about 40 min right next to the dining area. Unforgettable. (more)Regina Zimmermann

On the last day, my wife got ill (bacterial infection) which ruined the next 3 days of our trip to South Africa. Everything until then was great and an amazing experience with the animals, the nature and the people we met. (more)Sebastian Ludwig

Memorable parts? I really liked the wildlife diversity that Tanzania Parks can offer. Especially in some areas, it was great to be able to be so close to the wild animals. Tips? I would have spent more time in Serengeti National Park, because of the vast area I believe I didn’t take the most of it…I stayed just one night. I would reccomend at least one night tented camp experience. Local benefits? Benefits to local people – Yes. Most of the camps use locals as employees. Reduced... (more)Luis Boavida

Memorable parts? The wildlife! So much to see but very rare ajd elusive Black Rhino probably gets top spot. Tips? Private jeep safari definitely worth doing so you can set your own schedule and route. Local benefits? Yes. Overall rating? Amazing, great support from Responsible Travel during booking and company they recommended were fantastic to deal with. (more)Eliza Mather

Memorable parts? We have so many incredible memories from our trip: however, being so close to lions and seeing them out hunting was definitely a highlight, along with seeing the Masai Warriors perform their 'jumping dance'! Tips? Remember to pack your own binoculars! We didn't think to take our own but were fortunate that we were able to share with other people in our jeep. There are times that you are driving and there are no animals in sight, it is the anticipation of what you... (more)Gayle Lindsay

Memorable parts? Difficult to pick just one - the Elephant Express from Dete to Bomani was a fabulous experience and never to be forgotten. Spending an afternoon in a hide by a waterhole watching elephants drinking and splashing around was amazing, as was walking out to where a small pack of wild dog were resting - under the close supervision of an armed guide, of course! Sitting outside the tent in Mana Pools, gazing across the Zambezi and listening to the hippos! Tips? Don't... (more)Christine Waddington
