    All the game drives were memorable, those in Serengeti particularly so for the number and variety of animals encountered. Individual highlights included: 12 lions stalking a buffalo at the Serengeti camp; a group of lions in the N'gorongoro crater approaching our vehicles and lying beside them to enjoy the shade they provided; a close up encounter with a leopard in Tarangire on the drive out on the last morning.

    Just being out there on an African Safari was a very special experience for those of us who had never done this before. The Tortilis camps were beyond comfortable and the whole experience was very special.

    A well-thought out safari that has been refined over many years. My son took this Explore trip 11 years ago and stayed in lodges. I think we had the better experience with the camp and the farmhouse.

    I think it was a good trip. I would advise others to shop around a little and see what else is out there though.

    The trip was very nice, we saw lots of wildlife. Some of the places we stayed at were wonderful, others were not as nice.
