    We had a great experience! The Rhino Sanctuary, drives through the park, game drives, hike to the falls and boat tour were all wonderful! We saw many animals - rhinos, zebra, warthogs, giraffe, elephants, crocks & a lion! Our guides did a great job! They were knowledgable, kind and fun to be with. The only disappointment was our lodging. It was extremely hot with little to no breeze and was not very clean.

    A mixed bag. The accommodation at tembo safari camp was amazing, could have stayed there for weeks. The cruise and murchisob falls are impressive and you get to see a lot of hippos. The safari part seemed rushed and both the guide and the ranger seemed focused on getting back as quick as possible. We only drove on one big trail and didn't really see many animals up close. Only saw elephants from very far away. No Lions or leopards either. The rhinos are great though. At the price, I would expect more effort put into the safari.

  • So Much to See!

    My guide, Robert, helped us find all of the Big 5 plus the rarely seen hyenas and jackals! He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the parks. The food was tasty and the lodging was good. The van was a little dated, but it was comfortable and spacious. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and welcome! This tour was true to the advertisement. I highly recommend!
