Memorable for me for wonderful wildlife we really saw ( so often we have been disappointed, even in Amazon rain forest). We saw dolphins and seals and lots of beautiful sea birds, we fished and laid lobster pots. We caught a lobster, along with crab and star fish, and netted plankton which we examined under microscope.

Excellent. As a family experience it could not be beaten. The guides and staff were excellent and made our vacation extremely informative and fun.
(more)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. (more)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)
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. (more)This was probably the best vacation I have ever been on. Both my son and I will never forget it. I absolutely relished being close to nature out at sea and on the island. I am definitely considering traveling to see more dolphins or whales in other parts of the world. (more)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!! (more)Parked in the middle of a herd of 20 feeding elephants who disappeared into the bush in the blink of an eye. That, plus the drinking sessions and intellectual debates (which got less intelligent and coherent as the wine flowed) with our host at Black Leopard Camp, Mike......
(more)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 vacation exceptional.

I would rate my vacation as one of my life’s greatest adventures. It exceeded any and all expectations... My guide Julius was just fantastic. I was able to view so many great wildlife encounters due to the skill and expertise of Julius. (more)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. (more)Each day had its own appeal as we made our way up the mountain through different tree lines, vegetation etc with excellent guidance from Isaac our guide who was most helpful on all subjects. (more)The most exciting part was being totally alone (or feeling like it) in the vast expanse of the Maasai Mara's rolling plains.

Because we don't run the vacations they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same vacation can have different views!
