I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to have an unforgettable trip!
I have just finished amazing 10 days of safari in Tanzanya.This was my first safari experience in Africa! Everything was wonderful, much better than what I expected! The tour was very well organized.The tours to Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Lake Manyara and Ndutu were really an experience of a lifetime! Thanks to Michael it was even a better experience. My driver and guide Michael was brilliant, this man is a legend. Michael has a lot of knowledge, excellent English, very friendly and took care of everything what I needed! At first I would like to say thank him for his personal qualities: responsibility, courtesy, extraordinary intelligence and readiness ,secondly for his high qualifications such as preparedness, extensive knowledge and rich experience. Best experience and the best tour guide Michael! I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to have an unforgettable trip!

Passionate, accommodating, and fun!
Michael guided us through our 8 day, 7 night safari and was amazing. His eye for animals is unbelievable - as he is driving he can spot and identify animals that we needed binoculars to see. He was very calm but full of energy and really cared to seek out all of the animals for us to see. He was able to answer every question we had about the animals and nature in the parks as well as the tribes that we visited. His driving was very good, we always felt safe. He was very flexible and happy to accommodate what we wanted to do. He was also great with stopping to take pictures/observe the animals for as long as we wanted.
Considering that you spend all day every day with your guide, you want to make sure you like him/her. Michael is very easy to get along with and as I mentioned above, calm and flexible. He was also very patient. My mother and law does not speak fluent English so we regularly spoke in Hebrew to explain what he was saying and mostly spoke Hebrew amongst ourselves which he did not mind.
Michael was fantastic and I highly recommend working with him!!

The Trip of a Lifetime
I felt compelled to sit down and write this review right away, while the impressions and memories of our amazing 7 day safari trip in Tanzania are still fresh in my mind.
We were a group of 10: ages 9-78, some of us with sever life-threatening food allergies. That being said, you can imagine the concerns and complexities involved in the preparations for this trip, that took us to Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
However, all of our concerns disappeared the moment we landed and met our two wonderful guides: Amani and Rajabu. From the moment we met them at Kilimanjaro airport and throughout our entire trip, these two spared no effort to make our trip an unforgettable experience and a complete success.
We felt welcomed, safe and happy knowing that we are in the capable hands of Rajabu and Amani. They took care of everything! From insuring our food is allergy-free all the way to somehow managing to arrange for a pair of forgotten headphones that were left behind in one lodge, to make it all the way to our next stop-without us knowing about it, or even telling them we’ve lost it...
Amani and Rajabu’s hospitality and attention to details can only be matched by their professionalism when it came to the safari itself. We got to see a huge amount and variety of animals, including rare sightings of a leopard and cheetah with cubs from very close range. Their insights and guidance regarding the things we saw were very rich, interesting and helpful.
A good guide makes all the difference when it comes to trips of this nature, and in our case we couldn’t have wished for better ones than Amani and Rajabu.
Our accommodations were also great. The cars were comfortable and very clean (thoroughly washed at the end of every day) and fully stocked with a fridge loaded with cold water, electricity sockets etc.
I warmly recommend Friendship in general and particularly Amani and Rajabu to anyone who is interested in experiencing Tanzania at first hand in the best possible way.

Very professional and very helpful by making appropriate suggestions
Our guide Kennedy has the eye to find the most discreet animals and the most extraordinary situations! He had a lot of experience. That's why we were able to observe an incredible number of animals close by the car. Also, and we were among the first cars to see a wildebeests crossing (thousand of them). That was the main attraction that I want to see and the purpose of my safari. Thanks to our very professional guide.

An Amazing African Wildlife Adventure with Kennedy.
My son and I went on an 8 day Safari-Trip that turned out to be everything we hoped for. First things first, the Friendship African Adventure Safari has supplied an envelope to ensure that all the arraignments, the on-site permits and entry fees were taken care of. All the lodging were high quality and all the logistics of the tour were done and everything performed without a glitch. BUT, the most important thing for us was Kennedy our guide and driver. He picked us from the airport and we connected very quickly. Kennedy took the time to find-out what we want to see and how we want this adventure to be. And he tailored the schedule to custom-fit our fantasy. Kennedy is sharp and funny, and he knows all there is to know about the African Wildlife. He has many years of experience and he actually knows how to find all the animals before everyone else. With Kennedy we saw three Leopards, Chetahs, a python and many more… and we were among the first 10 cars to a Lion-kill that was the main attraction of the park for the next two days. Kennedy keeps a great car, drives safely, takes care of everything and has all the stories and knowledge about animals and Africa to make sure you will have the best time ever. Kennedy, my man, Thank you!

Unique trip with the best guide- Michael
A family trip that was amazing and exceeded all our expectations. The trip was well organized by the company and by the extensive knowledge and professionalism of Michael, our guide. We were awarded a guide who knows nature, the animals, tribes and population. Michael and the people in Tanzania are so kind. Every day of the trip we had lunch in a different place, even in front of the animals themselves. We visited several national parks, saw unique animals and had so much fun. Thanks Michael, Coral “paints”
Amazing

Donald has a wealth of experience and is able to tailor your adventure according to your budget and schedule.
Kennedy is an amazing guide and driver. He really made the whole experience memorable

Awesome experience
We did a long 10 days safari with 3 kids 8,12,18. our guide was Emanuel Shirima - “the best”!! He managed to keep us all excited about waking up rather early every morning and eager to jump on the Toyota jeep to explore a new corner of the park. Emanuel is a highly knowledgeable person but would not hesitate to tell you he doesn’t know something if this is the case. This happened to us on two of the hundreds of questions we asked him. He is very friendly with very good manners but most importantly he made us feel safe every moment he was around. You have this inner feeling that you can trust him!! He also have eagle eyes and it sometime felt like he was setting pre-scheduled appointments with many of the animals we spotted. We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend you to pick Emanuel as your guide. He gave us family memories for life! Thank you!!
