The Kruger National Park offers some the best game viewing to be found anywhere in Africa, and with over 2 million hectares given over to conservation, this is definitely one of the world’s greatest wildlife destinations. With so many excellent safari lodges around Kruger, choosing the right one can seem like a bit of a task, so we have short listed some of our favourites for you.
Zanzibar boasts amongst the best beaches in the world, with coconut palms and powder soft coral sands washed by shimmering clear seas. The beaches in Zanzibar are paradise, scattered with picturesque fishing villages, where people live a simple way of life, unchanged over the years. There are more than 25 fantastic beaches in Zanzibar, and some are so peaceful and remote that the only noise breaking the silence is the ocean. The waters around the island are awash with colourful marine life, good visibility (20-60 metres) and a year-round average water temperature of 27°c.

7 Day Masai Safari Itinerary My wife and I travelled with your company for our honeymoon in June this year, and I wanted to thank-you for the fantastic holiday we had. I'm not even sure where to begin; our driver/guide was friendly, patient, polite and knowledgeable about the wildlife. He knew the animals habits and habitats; when to wait for them to return or to look for other fare. The lodges you took us to were brilliant, the views beautiful, the food delicious and service very helpful - much better than we had expected. We saw so many different animals, all the big five, and very close up on occasion, we have many great photographs to remember the holiday. We also went on the hot-air balloon across the Masi-mara, and although we didn't see as much as we'd hoped, to finish with the breakfast amongst the wildebeast and zebra was thoroughly enjoyable. The best thing was how relaxed we were, we had forgotten the day of the week half-way through. I don't think I have a bad thing to say about the whole trip. Although the safari is not cheap, I have to say it provides excellent value for money and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to celebrate a special occasion. Thank-you very very much.
Intrepids Flying Safari and Neptune Pwani Beach Resort Hello Gemma, Just thought I would drop you a note of thanks we had a holiday of a liftetime at the intrepids camps and neptune pwani hotel in zanzibar. We had the most amazing time on our 2 weeks holiday and we were upgraded to the governor camp for 2 nights instead of staying and mara intrepids we had an annivery cake made us at the samburu camp. All staff in both camps were amazing they could not do enough for us. We have never done a safari holiday before but when funds omit we will be doing another one. We were upgraded at the Neptune Pwani as well. Hotel and staff were again amazing. If we do decide another trip will be in contact thanks again for your advice over this amazing holiday.
