My husband and I had always wanted to go away for the holidays and we decided this Christmas 2023 would be it. We reached out to a few acquaintances and we were recommended to contact Mantis Africa Safaris. Once we shared our interests, the team quickly shared options and we discussed further until we settled to go to the Queen Elizabeth national park. We stayed at a cozy property called Enganzi Game Lodge for 3 nights. We travelled with our two children and they had a time of their life at the game drive and boat cruise on the Kazinga channel. The seamless plan, reliability of the travel consultant and the choice of hotel was the highlight for us as we had a last-minute booking but there was no shortfall as they delivered as promised.
