Reliable and Efficient
I love how reliable the team was, despite us travelling from overseas everything we needed for the tour had been organised.
It was affordable and value for money.

It was great experience
I want to say thanks for organisation this safari. Rose was in touch with us all time and change our programme on our number of days. Everything was clearly and on time. Operator picked us up from airport and dropped us in. Car and driver was very good, he do the best and we sow as much as we can. All program was as it wrote here. We have been on 12days safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Everywhere we felt safe and kalm.
We had a superb day
Full day exploring Nairobi. Best price and good city guide.

23 Days Kilimanjaro Trekking and Safari in Tanzania and Kenya
We had booked an 8 day Kilimanjaro trekking on the Lemosho route followed by a safari trip across Tanzania and Kenya. For the Kili part of our trip Safariline subcontracted to a local Tanzanian operator (Seven Wonders), who did an amazing job. All five members of our group made it to the summit, and we felt very well looked after throughout the entire experience. We also very much enjoyed the friendly and good natured atmosphere they created around us.
For the safari part we had asked Safariline for budget accommodation, so we could save a little money. They picked a variety of campsites, fixed-tent camps and hotels, which - with a single exception - were all quite good and allowed for an attractive price. I particularly enjoyed the Nyati Safari Camp at Amboseli which was very comfy and had a gorgeous view of mount Kilimanjaro.
Organization was generally good. Rose, the manager, was always easy to get in touch with and responded quickly to any questions or requests we had. There was a small hickup when they changed the schedule in Kenya without notifying us. (They only rearranged the order of things. Nothing was left out.) For a while that had me worried I might not catch my flight back home. It all went well in the end, but I could have done without the added suspense.
The heart of any safari is of course the game viewing. For us that was more than excellent, which to no small part was owed to our two drivers. They took us to all the major parks of the region. Both of them were highly skilled in the art of finding the best spots and then positioning the car in such a way that we would have the best possible view. The animal encounters we had far exceeded my expectations.
I would recommend Safariline to a friend any day.

First rate operations from start to finish for our 8 day Lemosho route climb of Mt Kilimanjaro.
Safari Line Defenders worked with Seven Wonders in Tanzania to provide an excellent service for our 8 day Lemosho route climb of Mt Kilimanjaro. We were a party of 5 including 3 people over the age of 65. They took on this challenge with no hesitation and ensured that all our needs were met in a safe, effective manner. Everyone, from our 3 professional guides, chef, porters and personal assistants, made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. On summit night we were surrounded by our 3 guides and 4 porters who paid attention to our every need as we progressed to the summit successfully. From assistance in carrying our packs when needed to singing rousing songs to inspire us and assisting with the difficult descent, I felt we had 100% support and attention. I would recommend this partnership to anyone considering the climb to the roof of Africa. And the food was top notch. Thank you Majura, Tony, Chris, Nathan and our wonderful group of porters!!

Top notch tour company with excellent communication!
Seven of us booked a two week safari with Safari Line Defender Tours. We started in Arusha and ended in Nairobi, visiting all the significant parks in northern Tanzania and southern Kenya. Our accommodations included a variety of tented camps and hotels. For the entire trip we were provided with sturdy Land Rovers and several guide-drivers, all of whom knew the best locations in each park for locating wildlife. By radio and phone the guides stayed in constant contact with the other guides in the parks so they knew immediately where to take us to see the most exciting sightings. This usually involved the big cats but also included the mass migration of wildebeest and other great wildlife scenes. Over the course of the two weeks there were really too many highlights to mention.
We spent a full year getting this trip organized and throughout that time I was in frequent email/WhatsApp contact with Rose Muthoni, the company co-founder. Her communication was always fast (within hours or less) and helpful. All details were easily attended to. Aside from wildlife viewing, the food was good and abundant throughout.
One detail to pay attention to when booking is to make certain that the maximum number of passengers in the Land Rover is seven and not eight so that every person gets a window seat.
From start to finish this safari was smooth sailing! I highly recommend this company for quality and competency.

Dependable and reliable
Great value for the trip. My flight got delayed and rose send a driver to wait for me to catch the others. My baggage was delayed to the day after, rose helped me out and got it with everything in. The drivers helped me got the daily goods on the way.
I ordered a 7day trip with a jeep. The jeep experience was great, the drivers are pretty experienced. The food is local and the camp is cool, way better than I expected.
