Company Reviews
first class service
Safari camps in South Africa and Botswana and explored the Cape Town region.
highly recommend Great Safaris
Every detail was attended to throughout our trip. Roundtrip transfers were included from small, dirt air strips to and from our lodges; private or semi-private drivers/guides took us on safari twice a day for a minimum of 7 hours per day; the food at each lodge was above average or outstanding, depending on where we were and often was included in the price of our tour; all inter-Africa flights were booked with excellent airlines (sometimes we were the only 2 passengers in the plane!); round trip flights from Los Angeles to Nairobi with a stopover in Dubai were also included in the price (we traveled on Emirates Airlines per Dave’s recommendation–definitely a good call); and we received outstanding service wherever we stayed.
We highly recommend Great Safaris and Dave Herbert if you are planning your first trip to Africa or your fiftieth! He knows the continent like the back of his hand because he goes there and sends his staff there continually to ensure that what they’re selling to their clients meets their high standards. You cannot go wrong with Great Safaris!!!
Amazing experience!
Reputable and reliable
Experienced, first rate service, guidance and care
Since our return, I have recommended ‘Great Safaris’ to numerous friends and neighbors. They are a first class outfit for the vacation of a lifetime. Dave Herbert at ‘Great Safaris’ is the man to speak with.

Additional Information
Since time began, the wild creatures of the vast Serengeti Plains meet, mingle and march together. When the rains cease and the landscape withers, millions of herbivores begin the slow procession northward, toward the promise of water and sweet new grasses. With their own promise of a moveable feast, the carnivores tag along, darting through the shadows in search of the too old, too young or too slow. This is the great migration – the Greatest Show on Earth.
Our adventure starts with set down in Kilimanjaro, gateway to safari country and shadowed under the soaring peaks of famed Mount Kilimanjaro. From our Arusha base, we venture out into game country for (hopefully) a glimpse of the fabled tree climbing lions of Lake Manyara.
greatest-show-on-earthAppetites duly whetted, move on to the fabulous Ngorongoro Crater – one of the natural wonders of the world. The vast floor of the collapsed caldera is a bountiful home to a huge permanent population of wildlife and we enjoy a day traversing the crater floor.
Winging west, we arrive into the heart of the Serengeti; a vast open savannah that always delivers superb game viewing experiences. The isolated camps surprise with luxurious amenities, delectable cuisine and friendly staff. You’ll always remember the evenings around the campfire, chatting with new friends and then falling to sleep as the Serengeti bush sings its night-time lullaby.
Consider staying a little longer and relaxing on the exotic island of Zanzibar. Or add some more thrilling wildlife days in Kenya.
