African Safari recommendations

Hi, I’m looking for African Safari trips for July/August. I am a solo female traveller. Which tour companies or safari trips would you recommend? I have travelled with Exodus, Intrepid and G Adventures. I would probably prefer lodge accommodation rather than camping, but I’m not against camping for a few nights…

Tanzania or Kenya Safari?

I am planning to travel to Africa in September 2026 and have been reading a lot about the different safari experiences in Tanzania vs Kenya, and struggling to make a final decision. Has anyone travelled to one or both places and can recommend which destination is better for wildlife photography and seeing the Big 5?
