The Great Migration river crossing was beyond words. Our guide David had the instinct to position us perfectly — we watched a full crossing for 45 minutes from 20 metres away.

Five stars, without question. The Ngorongoro Crater descent was the single most spectacular wildlife experience I have ever had. We saw all of the Big Five in one day.

First time in Africa and I couldn't have chosen better. Every detail was organized, the lodge was gorgeous and Emmanuel our guide was outstanding.
