Leopards resting on tree limbs in Nakuru was the highlight of our trip. We saw abundant wildlife and birds everywhere, including the Big Five in abundance.
Gametrackers was referred to me by my brother who had travelled with them. Their performance was superb. The guide was very knowledgeable and personable and greatly enriched the experience.
We went in a group of four people, not including the guide and cook and travelled by means of a Toyota Land Cruiser.
I went on safari with Gametrackers (found them in Lonely Planet) from 1 May 2008 for 20 days. The safari covered Uganda (Queen Elisabeth, Murchison Falls) and Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Zanzibar) ? we were a group of 20 in a four wheel drive truck and we camped in national parks.
They were excellent ? friendly, caring, helpful, well organised. Everything was great, I rate the trip 10 out of 10!!
We saw everything: lions, elephants, hippos, zebras, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, warthogs, antelope, baboons, chimpanzees, flamingos, rhino, buffalos highlight ? herd of eight elephants, 2 prides of over 10 lions.
A typical day would be getting up, breakfast take down tent (if moving), game drive, drive to next park (if we are moving), stop along the road for lunch, rest if in camp, continue driving, arrive, set up tent (if moving) game drive, dinner, bed.
We also visited a Masai village, orphanage cultural centred. The interaction with local Africans was a highlight.
