African Photo Safari

[salpal]

This is on our bucket list. We are thinking of planning one for either 2013 or 2014 at the latest. Can anyone provide me with information about tour planners? There are so many when I do a web search that it is overwhelming. I would prefer to get a recommendation from someone who was happy with their tour operator. Thanks.

Not sure what country you are interested in, but my son and I visited the Kruger in South Africa and it was fantastic. We did it on our own and stayed at the Little Bush Camp of Sabi Sabi.
There are only 6 double cottages, 12 people max., and the game viewing is done in 6 seater jeeps.
South Africa also has so much to offer besides the game viewing.

I would highly recommend Thomson Safaris, 1800 235 0289. My wife and I had the experience of a life time.Every detail was planned the staff was exceptional and of course the beauty of the country is outstanding. if you need any information send me a pm

We went with Siyabona Africa (http://www.siyabona.com) It was 10 yrs already this last June. Price at that time was $450/pp for the 7 day trip to Kruger, Hlane (Swaziland), Kosi Bay and Hluhluwe

The walking trip thru Hluhluwe was really memorable, stood within a couple feet to mama and baby rhino.

We had a great guide, and were lucky to have a van with only 2 other people
The company took care of all details and they even drove us several miles past the end of the safari...we went off on our own adventure afterward. The guide took us all the way to the Durban airport. Service above and beyond.
