Extremely well communication and pleasant safari experience
We booked our Safari trip half a year in advance via safaribookings.com
We're very delighted with communication and responsiveness. Replies were coming from Steve - Senior Tour Operator and we'd like to give him special thanks for taking great care. Replies were quick (up to 24h and almost immediate once we arrived to Africa). All questions were always answered. He also provided some tips for us before arrival and he helped to sync with the driver when we needed. One more thing that needs to be pointed out is great honesty - Steve returned us excess money we left for hotel owner to book bus tickets for us but we hadn't chance to get the change before departure.
As for Safari itself is was great experience. Eric - our driver and a guide in one person did his best to show us big five and he made it. He's very good driver, also quite fast but we were totally fine with this. Also he always stopped when we asked him to. He was flexible and kind.
One thing I would like to see more is some description of animal life and safari stories from our guide. We were asking some questions, but most of the time his answers were rather short.
Food was very basic but fine and we weren't starving.
In our opinion overall price was very good and experience for that price was totally worth it.

Great Safari experience
Driver was really professional. I think, thanks to him we saw "Big 5" and a lot of other animals. he has stopped the car in good places, that is why photoshoots were perfect.
Food was well prepared, and our table was served the first amog other ones.
Tent was not perfect, but I think such experience was usefull and interesting.
thanks for the organization, help and you professionalism!

Fun trip and true adventure
First of all I'd like to thank Steve Sr. Manager of safari booking. He is really good experienced manager. He helped me to going through step by step booking my trip even he helped me to search for my domestic flights and hotels etc... He was really careful about if anyone vegetarian or any food allergies in our group. That was a huge plus for me before start our trip to Tanzania.
Once we arrived to Arusha they picked us up from the airport as promised to our hotel. Next morning driver picked us up from our hotel on time and we met our game driver James and our stomach doc.
James is very experienced driver and a guide. I cant even ask more than his unlimited good mood and smiley face friendship and did not take time how he blended into our group :-)
During Safari he gave us all the information about where we are and the animals that we have questioned. He played very well. Knows where to stop for good view that we can take pictures clearly.
We had all the safari experiences that we can in 4 days.
Our cook (stomach doc) had feed us very well with a lot of food... He was careful about vegetarian (me) and cook separately. In the morning our coffee and tea was ready at the table. Food always ready at the time he told us with least 3 courses meal and dessert.
Thank you Safari booking and Thank you James from bottom of my heart.
The best safari operator
We've had the best safari experience with SafariBook Evolution I can imagine. The operator is reliable, very carrying of guests, reception is easily reachable in Arusha. Our guide was extremely friendly, communicative and with an amazing eye for animals and our cook was a food-magician (on the safari, I've had the best pumpkin soup ever). Also, we saw the Big Five, so our trip was complete in every manner. We strongly recommend SafariBook Evolution!

Amazing! We had an amazing guide and an amazing cook! We highly recommend this group!
This company was easy to deal with. They were quick to respond to emails. The safari was more than we imagined. We had Onesmus as a guide and Kioko as a cook. Both were amazing! We will be back and we will be requesting them!

Awesome Safari Experience
Steve was excellent with communication and made planning our trip easy. Onesmus (our guide) and Kioko (our cook) were outstanding. Onesmus went above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable safari and that we saw all we could see. He was very informative and took a genuine interest in showing us his country and it's wildlife. Kioko's food was delicious and there was plenty of it! He was even kind enough to make us banana pancakes again when we requested, so yummy!
We spent 4 nights in tents. They were quipped with bed, toilet and shower (with hot water). They were quite comfortable considering you are on safari. The one night in a hotel was lovely and everyone at all locations were very friendly and helpful.
Overall I would recommend SafariBook Evolution- it was a trip of a lifetime.

Awesome Experience with SafariBook Evolution
I just finished my 4 days Tanzania Safari. I joined a group of 5 people, strangers but came to find out we all come from the same country which was a welcomed coincidence. We had a great time with our guide James and stomach doctor Buri. Steve with communication was perfect, quick and professional. I had read a scary review but he assured me that their service is perfect and they have their own office and vehicles. I took a risk and it was worth it. We met at their office in Arusha Centre Tourist Inn before the safari for payments, then proceed the safari which was more than I ever imagined or expected. The entire 4 days to Manyara Serengeti Ngorongoro crater was handled professionally and I have high standards.
I really liked Safari Book Evolution. We managed to see all wild animals and the service was great. It was an excellent option in terms of value for money. James, Buri and Steve I will never forget you, thank you all for the experience.

Incredible 3-day/2-night tour at Maasai Mara
I’m so glad a friend recommended Safaribook Evolution to me. Steve’s communication with me throughout the booking process was fast and friendly through WhatsApp. Sam was our driver for our 3-day/2-night trip to Maasai Mara and he really made the trip for us. Sam is an experienced driver (6 years!) and knew where to go to show us the animals. He usually spotted the animals before we even saw them. He even brought binoculars to share, which greatly improved the experience. Sam is super friendly, helpful, and is always smiling. We were fortunate to have excellent weather and we saw soooo many animals (lots and lots of big cats!), more than I expected. For our trip we stayed at the Sinai Camp, which served us good food and had very comfortable tents and beds with private bathroom. Our trip to the nearby Maasai village was also a wonderful experience. Overall our Maasai Mara tour was an unforgettable experience and I have Safaribook Evolution to thank for that. I will definitely recommend Safaribook Evolution to all my friends.
