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

This was the best vacation I have ever taken! I tell everyone to just go. (more)Amanda Popik

Memorable parts? Mvuu camp and the night safaris Tips? Before leaving, i suggest to buy maps and guides because you will not find any tourist indication. They prefer to provide you a guide instead of selling maps and written indication. Local benefits? Yes, I think so for the majority of lodges in which we stayed. Overall rating? 10/10 (more)Giulia Rap

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

Memorable parts? The amount of animals we saw on safari. Tips? Avoid the Serena Serengeti hotel, not the best, service bad, food bad and rooms a bit shabby. Local benefits? No Overall rating? Brilliant - 9 out of 10. (more)Joanne Longhurst

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

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

Our trip took in 5 different areas of South Africa and every single part of it was unforgettable (more)Philippa Roll

Traveling through Namibia for 3 weeks meant we managed to see some of the different landscapes, people and animals where each was very exciting. (more)Susanna Diacono

Great trip that was enjoyed by all... Really enjoyed Fish River Canyon for its remoteness and lodge location, but then self-driving through Etosha and watching lions stalking prey at a water-hole was very special too. (more)Nevil Rimes

Memorable parts? 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. Overall rating? Excellent... (more)Tim Ferris

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

(The vacation) 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

Memorable parts? 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

Memorable parts? Everything went perfectly well. My family and I will never forget this vacations 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

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? 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. Tips? Just trust that everything is organised so well there is nothing to worry about. Local benefits? Yes, we supported the local people by buying locally... (more)Shirley Newman

Memorable parts? Seeing the Gorillas in the impenetrable forest. Tips? Go to the gym, as the Gorilla and Chimpanzee tracking is very physical. Local benefits? Yes - at least one the places we stayed at provided/supported a local playground for the local children. Overall rating? Fantastic definitely would recommend this operator, we met lots of other UK tourists whilst we were in Uganda and would say that our vacation organisation and information seemed better than... (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

Memorable parts? The flight between Camp Savuti and Oddballs Camp. The pilot flew very low so we were able to see the animals very well from above. Also, taking a shower and being visited by an elephant. Tips? Pack light and be prepared for cool temperatures in the morning. Local benefits? All staff members in the camps were locals, even the managers. That gave the trip a good flavour. In general, the tourism in Botswana is based on sustainability. Overall rating? On... (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

It was great - we felt like we’d been away for ages and had so many adventures. (more)Joanna Chambers

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)Vincenzo Bracciale
