This was a wonderful trip which exceeded our expectations in almost all respects. We visited a wide variety of different habitats, enabling us to see huge numbers of birds, not just some 200 species (I haven't counted yet), but also enormous numbers of many of them. A few real rarities, which didn't particularly excite us but would be much appreciated by enthusiasts. The other wildlife was great too, and we were lucky enough to see lions on every one of our 5 safaris in the Gir Forest - some 15 in all, including cubs of various ages and a pair mating. We liked the way the trip was organised, giving us plenty of time and several safaris in each location, so we could really watch and study the wildlife rather than just seeing it and moving on. An interesting day in Bhuj, seeing the local craftspeople making wonderful fabrics of different kinds. The naturalist guide, Dhaval, was excellent. Really knowledgeable (not often we get a guide with a PhD!) but also very friendly and helpful and went well beyond the call of duty to give us extra outings when there was time to spare. The vehicle was amazing, we've never had such a comfortable van anywhere in the world. Like flying business class. Accommodation ranged from perfectly acceptable to somewhat over-the-top luxury, which we rather enjoyed though we probably wouldn't have chosen it.

This was an amazing once in a lefetime safari. The people were welcoming; the locations were perfect; knowledge of masai mara tribe was incredidble. Food was amazing. Thank you to Porini for everything.

From start to finish my Kenyan safari was organised perfectly by Tracks. Information about travel details and accommodation was very clear and the trip went like clockwork. I was even sent a paperback book about Kenya which was a nice surprise. I had a wonderful time and I would definitely use this company again.

I have used TracksSafaris for 3 safaris to Botswana and South Africa over the last decade. Always very reliable and thorough with excellent safari recommendations. Prompt and responsive. Very detailed itineraries and willing to modify hotels/tours. Payment is by Wise, but it works fine once you get the hang of it. This trip was last minute (within a month) during Christmas holidays. We wanted a malaria-free destination with off-road possibilities. On short notice, Sue recommended Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa along the Botswana border. An excellent choice with smooth transfers. Sue always delivers!

Sue put together an incredible trip. Our driver/guide Zack was extraordinary, the itinerary could not have been better, and the accommodation was fantastic. And I loved the pace of the trip. All our hotel stays were at least 2 or 3 nights which meant we weren't constantly packing and unpacking and on the move. The wildlife viewing was extraordinary....lions, leopards and cheetahs in trees, the Big Five and just about all other wildlife we could imagine, and most special and amazing of all, The Great Migration.

We visited Botswana for 9 days over New Year (2024/25). This is now the third trip to Africa under the guidance of Sue Praeter. Our trip was excellent in several ways. Firstly Sue started (as previously) with "What do you want to see?". She organised for us to visit three different habitats/landscapes with correspondingly varied wildlife. The standard of the camps was superb. The internal flights with little planes (or helicopters) were extremely efficient. Transfers between camps occurred during the middle of the day and did not impact on game drives in the morning or afternoon of each day. Helpful advice prior to departure and thoughtful follow-up call afterwards. Brilliant. All in all, excellent all round. I would thoroughly recommend Tracks.

Sue’s input and responsiveness really made our “once-in-a-lifetime” family safari during Christmas week 2024. We had a superb visit in terms of the excellence of the location (Madikwe,SA), lodge (Tau Game lodge), food, staff and safari guide. Amazing wildlife sightings. Unforgettable for all of us. Thanks Sue. We will come back to you again for future wildlife holidays. Jo, Bob and six other happy family members.

Sue is an excellent planner - she spent a lot of time with us ensuring we booked the perfect safari. We had a wonderful time and got so lucky with the wildlife sightings. Thanks!

A wonderful varied trip with a mix of lodges (Nkwali, Luangwa River, Baines) but also canoeing with 3 nights camping along the Zambezi river. We had some great wildlife sightings in all locations including plenty of Leopards. Sue's suggestions were ideal. As we were right at the end of the season some lodges had no other guests for several nights and we had safari jeeps to ourselves. Sue was very responsive at all times and we wouldn't hesitate to use Tracks Safaris again.

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a two-week safari experience to Kenya and Zanzibar, meticulously arranged by Sue's Safari Company. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of the trip, Sue's help and attention to detail made it a truly unforgettable adventure. Our journey began in Kenya, where we explored the breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife of the Maasai Mara. Sue's deep knowledge of the area ensured that we had prime viewing opportunities and intimate encounters with the Big Five. My accommodations were exceptional, combining luxury with the authentic feel of the African wilderness. Each lodge and tented camp offered stunning views, top-notch amenities, and warm, welcoming staff who catered to my every need. Sue's itinerary was perfectly balanced, allowing ample time for game drives, cultural experiences, and relaxation. After an exhilarating week in Kenya, I flew to Zanzibar for a completely different but equally enchanting experience. Sue had arranged for me to stay in a beachfront resort that was the epitome of paradise. Pristine white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and luxurious accommodations made for a perfect retreat. Throughout the trip, Sue's dedication to customer satisfaction was unwavering. She was always available to address any concerns and made sure every aspect of my journey was flawless.
