THIS was amazing!! I did no research before picking and just knew I had the right group! Samantha made the entire trip feel like home (but with a bunch of wilderness animals). We were educated and pampered, fed like family and saw amazing animals, beauty and family! I have already told so many to go with Collette land and water and ask for Samantha!! The time of year seeing baby animals was such a blessing. I hope to go back in few years.Show more

We would give this tour a 5 star review with the exception of our accomodations on the boat for three nights. The boat definitely needed to be retired. The land accomodations were excellent, all the safaris were more than we dreamed, and we were able to do everything we set out to do. Saw all the big 5! Including the elusive leopard! Our guide was way past excellent, the people we met became instant family! Would definitely recommend this trip with Colette.Show more
