The most memorable was seeing a cheetah hunt and kill. (more)Olivia Maes
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 vacation 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
From
£3,495
excluding flights
Absolutely brilliant. (more)Lesley Tremlett
The most memorable part of the trip was spotting not only the big 5 but seeing rare animals such as white lions, wild dogs and the endangered ground hornbill. There was never one trip out the same and the excitement of seeing so many different animals was amazing.
(more)Dave Jackson
EXCELLENT as it met all my requirements. I did not want to stay in lodges that looked like American hotels. The tented camps made us feel closer to the
environment... I have been in Lodges in other parts of South Africa and other than the game I felt I could have been at a 5 star US hotel... so this was what I was looking for. (more)Eve Solomon
From
£1,495

Most memorable was being so close to wild animals on the game drives at Elephant Plains...Fantastic! (more)Yvonne Chapman
The Drakensberg mountains and Didima camp at Cathedral Peak provided a magical start to the vacation, with stunning scenery, fantastic hiking and lovely accommodation; we could easily have stayed much longer there. (more)Barbara Sykes
Some of the best highlights were - the penguins on Boulder Beach, Cape Point on a glorious day, staying with Hazel of Hazel's Homestays, the Real City tour in PE, Amakhala Lodge. (more)David Catherall
From
US $3,070
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The opportunity to be in such close proximity to a large range of wild animals in their natural habitat.
Tips?
It's not always easy to access a bank so when you get the chance, get plenty of the local currency. ATMs are not always reliable. We were advised never to put
a card into an ATM in Zimbabwe = high risk of being swallowed up. Better to take plenty of dollars or other accepted currency. Avoid salads, drinks with ice, tap water - even for rinsing your toothbrush.... (more)Joy Davies
From
£4,625
excluding flights
The most memorable was The vast variety of animals and birds observed often in large numbers and close up.
(more)Geoff Hill
A marvellous vacation that exceeded expectations in all areas! Most memorable was the incredible wildlife in both Selous and Ruaha national Parks, plus the coral reefs we saw around Mafia Island - truly spectacular. Lack of other tourists was a major plus.
(more)Liz Taylor
Everything was wonderful. The setting perhaps captures most of it - staying in beautiful places in the midst of the national parks and conservation areas, where the animals were everywhere (from in camp to close by during game drives). (more)Laura Dukess
From
US $4,185
excluding flights
Excellent. It is a shame that we did not do this before we reached our sixties. (more)Billie Jean Stubbs
Too many to pick just one highlight - spending an hour with a family of 10 mountain gorillas, a balloon flight over the Masai Mara at sunrise, seeing wild chimpanzees, spotting elephants, big cats, hippos.... The list could go on.
(more)Kay Emblen-Perry
White Water Rafting in river Nile is very interesting. Seeing Lion, Elephant and Zebra. (more)Xi Wang
From
US $4,025

All of the animals - first we saw the 'big five' and many many others! The most astonishing thing was the number of animals and their proximity. Far closer contacts than we had ever considered!! Absolutely bloody brilliant!!!!!!!!!! (more)Angela Gliddon
If you want adventure and excitement and an experience to remember forever then you will love it. (more)Kathy Miles
For animal lovers, it's paradise... We saw the big 5. The unbelievable amount of times we saw lions, some right at the side of the road seemingly oblivious to our vehicle and not one, but three leopards and two cheetahs. Beautiful. (more)Carole Charlesworth

Way better than I ever could have imagined.
I will be going again! (more)Carole Artis

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!

Memorable parts?
The amount of animals we saw on safari.
Tips?

From

Memorable parts?
Every day was a different wonder but the two days wild camping at the Okavanga
Delta were really special.
Tips?
Be prepared for very early starts and not much relaxing times.
Local benefits?
Yes, local guides were used in a number of locations but obviously driving such
long distances is not exactly environmentally friendly.

Excellent. (more)christina monson

Memorable parts?
The elephant by the side of the road in the wildlife corridor when we stopped to use the 'bush toilet'. The driver had not noticed it behind the solitary tree
before we got out of the vehicle. I would also say the group of people I was with: the other tourists, and our driver and cook. Camping in the Khama Rhino
Sanctuary and the Okavango Delta were amazing because these were the only times we truly were around nature and wildlife when not on a scheduled tour.
Tips?
There... (more)Barbara Bilgre
From
US $4,550
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Too many to mention! Highlights - getting to the top of Kilimanjaro and Serengeti
safari!
Tips?
Do your research. We tweaked our vacation quite a bit and the main aim was to
climb Kilimanjaro - had we not researched and as such altered the original
itinerary by adding an extra day - we would NOT have made it to the top - which
would have soured the rest of the trip which was to go on safari and finish in
Zanzibar.
Local benefits?
Yes - we had sixteen people... (more)Angie Koufou
From
US $1,910
excluding flights
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

We managed to see every animal we wanted!

I can't pin down one thing as we thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. I guess seeing such fabulous animals in their wild environment was what we went for and we were not disappointed. We saw lion, leopard, white rhino, black rhino, wild dogs; all the more common animals such as giraffe, elephant, zebra, various antelope species and over 100 species of birds. (more)Martin Blow
It was amazing to be so close to animals like elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, cheetah ... (more)Irene Hanson

A bit of background: we contacted the vacation provider about a Tanzania vacation 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

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 vacation. and 4) The whole organisation of the vacation from the first meeting at the airport to the drop off when we were going home. Brilliant.

So many memories as it was so varied - the safari experience, the wildlife and the birdlife, dramatic coastlines and mountain passes. Excellent for a first time visit to South Africa. (more)Jill Roberts

The game viewing at both safari lodges was excellent thanks to the high quality of the Rangers and Trackers. We have been on a number of safaris before but had not had more than fleeting views of leopards. On this trip we were lucky enough to see a large number of individual leopards at close quarters and for extended periods. We also saw packs of African Wild Dogs on 3 separate
occasions, which we had never been privileged to see before. This was all in addition to many... (more)Tony Bacon

The elephant "sneaking" through camp one night.
Tips?
Bring a coat if you are traveling during the winter. Mornings get cold.
Local benefits?
The guides and other employees were all local people. Most of the power in the camps was solar, which minimized the need to run generators.
Overall rating?
I had a great time. I saw just about everything I could have hoped for. (more)Geoffrey Yates

The day we spotted some African wild dogs trying to protect their kill from 2 hyena. We were observing this from the opposite bank of a river and could see exactly what was going on whilst the wild dog pack could not. It was amazing to see and hear the commotion and see the dogs defend their kill. A short time later we came across 2 lionesses who had also heard the noise and were on a mission to find the kill too. We felt very privileged to witness this and will never forget... (more)Jackie James

Going out every day on a game drive or boat not knowing if or what you may see. Also we enjoyed speaking to the Maasai that escorted us back and forth to our lodge - we will never have the chance to have the insight into their world again.
Tips?
We found that the all day drive gave us the best opportunity for seeing the animals. Also we didn't expect the days to be so planned out but it worked really well.
Local benefits?
Yes.
