Splendido Safari
In January I was with my family in Tanzania to spend a couple of weeks between Safari and the sea (Zanzibar). For the Safari, after a long search and selection of local agencies, I have chosen the AAA Express Adventure and I must say I did very well. The manager of the agency Jalala proved immediately helpful and competent, he patiently answered all my (many) questions before leaving and when we arrived he went out of his way to make this travel experience unique. I also might appreciate his organizational skills during a small mistake regarding a booking, solving the problem in a timely and smart way. Finally, I can only conclude this brief review by thanking our driver Emily who accompanied us throughout the Safari and who, with his experience and professionalism, has allowed us to live a dream. Thanks again Jalala !!!

Our 7 day Camping Safari was an unbelievable way to spend Christmas and our Honeymoon.
Our experience with AAA Express Adventures was very good throughout the entire week. The driver and the chef both spoke decent English and both were very good at there jobs and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. The owner Jalala was also very accommodating throughout the booking process and the time leading up to the trip. Our 7 day camping safari had everyone one could hope for while visiting Tanzania. We saw everything we wanted to and more. I would recommend this safari company for the service and it’s affordability while not sacrificing anything for the customer.

4 days Safari Northern Circuit - unforgettable experience and impeccable organization
We chose AAA Express Adventure after a long online search and a lot of quote requests. After several emails and after reading the reviews here on Safari Bookings and on Tripadvisor we relied on AAA Express Adventure.
Our safari included 4 days (end of August) between Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with mid-range budget. The whole safari was organized in detail.
The Lodges selected by Jalala were really perfect, much above our expectations, including the night in tented camp in the Serengeti with warthogs, hyenas and buffaloes that roamed around our tent.
The choice was appropriate and very positive, certainly a great value for money: no other quote was close to what was spent with AAA Express Adventure (others were even double), although tours and lodges were identical!
Jalala is very careful to its customers and has been able to answer all our doubts before we arrived. Also, we were delighted that at the end of the safari he came to visit us at the hotel to know our impressions of the trip and to say bye bye.
We can surely recommend AAA Express Adventure for the quality of service and kindness shown, 5 stars are not enough!
A big thank you goes to Ibrahim, our guide, who made us live unforgettable moments in search of the most remote savannah. Wonderful memories that will remain forever in our hearts.
See you soon Africa!

Incredible experience !
We went on a 5 days in a private safari with the tour guide Ibrahim. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater.
He knew a lot about animals and we could learn a lot from him. The game drives were super, he knew exactly where to go so we could see the animals from close. He was communicating with the other guides and we drives were a real game, very fun! I was impressed by the level of professionalism of the guide, everything was organised perfectly. It went smooth and we felt we were taken good care of. We had nothing to worry about, he sorted out the packed lunches and the drinks.
The selection of the lodges was great. All very good standards and fantastic food. (rhino lodge, Serengeti heritage tented camp, octagon lodge and Jambo Lodge)
The Director of the Agency (Mr Jalala) came to meet us at the hotel on our last day before we left the continent. Asked for a feedback and was happy to listen our experience. In my opinion this shows how much he cares about his guests and is willing to make the experience unforgettable. Always looking for the best!
The itinerary through the parks was very well planned. We had time to enjoy without rushing. We didn't waste any time.
I strongly recommend this safari tour guide and wish them to be successful.

Unforgettable experince of 5 days safari with Emily
We just had a 6 days/5 nights safari with a group of 6 people from June 28 to July 4 of this year. Our driver/guide is Emily. The accommodation was great with clean hotels (Silver Palm, Rhino Lodge, Endoro Lodge, and Serengeti Heritage Tent) and good foods at very affordable price. We were worry about mosquitos before we started our trip, but it turned out we did not see any mosquito during the entire trip. Emily is great. We told him what we want to see and he tried very hard to satisfy us. On two of the 5 days, he took us very early in the morning and came back after dark so he worked 2 long days. He even took us to another park after completing the itinerary and found 2 female lions with 2 cubs.

Stunning Safari with trustworthy staff
We went for a 3-day tour across the Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks in Tanzania, staying at Seronera and Panorama camping sites. Since we had time constraints we had to opt for a private tour with AAA Express Adventures. Jalala has been very helpful in accommodating our requests and needs. He arranged the tour, including pickup and drop off at Kilimanjaro Airport. He was extremely responsive on emails and precise in terms of both tour schedule and payment details. Our driver, Emil (Emilio for Italians!) was extremely helpful, kind and knowledgeable. He made sure we could always make the most of our time, showing us around and explaining everything. They also assigned to us a private chef who prepared breakfast, lunch pack and dinner every day. The meals were simple but tasty and we were absolutely pleased with the food. The tour itself is just stunning. The Panorama camp site is well equipped with electricity, bar, clean toilets and a spectacular view of Manyara lake. The Seronera pimbi campsite was very basic but offered a memorable experience, with the real taste of the Safari. Although the campsites were simple the staff made our stay very comfortable.
My wife and I would like to remark the trustability of Jalala. He made sure to meet us before departure to immediately refund us some money we paid at the entrance of the National Park, which was not included in the initial budget. We believe it's extremely rare to find such trustworthy people and we highly recommend AAA Express Adventures for safaris.

Fantastic 7 day safari
We went on a 9 day safari with AAA Express in late May. This included a pickup day, 7 days of actual safari, and a final day where we were brought to the cultural & heritage centre and then dropped to the airport.
Overall the experience was amazing. We really loved this holiday. Our guide, Emile, was brilliant. He is a really nice friendly guy, with a vast amount of knowledge about the wildlife and the area itself. During the safari we saw the big 5 (even the rhinos!) Emile was very good at finding the animals and he could explain their habits and techniques to us really well also. We could tell that he really is passionate about the wildlife. The jeep was very comfortable and secure. The accommodation during the safari that we stayed in was fantastic - 3 nights of lodges and 3 nights of camping. Our cook, Mike, was also really pleasant to deal with; he prepared delicious food for us, and always had a smile for us.
But the best thing about this tour was obviously the wildlife, we were not expecting to see so many animals, so we really enjoyed ourselves. So many lions, elephants, giraffes, and thousands of wildebeest! Emile was very good to allow us as much time as we wanted watching the animals, and we never felt rushed by him.
My fiancée and I both agree that this was the best holiday we have ever had, and we hope to come back again - even if it takes us 20 years! AAA Express really made the entire trip a fantastic experience, and we would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.
Great Service, Great Experience
Mr. Jalala was great at communicating and accommodating our 5 day 4 night safari of Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater. All our of meals were great, (the box lunches were just box lunches though) all of our lodges were clean and beautiful views, and out truck was clean and fitted out with a refrigerator for water and a 5 outlet strip plug to charge electronics. Emilie, our guide was very knowledgable and friendly, making our experience great. All of the lodges food accommodated food allergies in our group. I would 100% recommend AAA Express Adventures.

Very good safari experience
It was our first safari so it's hard to compare but I think everything was OK. Jalala (probably the owner) responded very fast to every question and offered a good price for us. Accommodation in Panorama Campsite was very good with beautiful view over Lake Manyara. The best part of our safari was the Ngorongoro Crater. I was amazed by the number of animals living there. Also Tarangire National Park surprised us pleasantly. We were satisfied with both, our guide and cook. The only drawback from my point of view was the deposit payment - international bank transfer, especially from my country, is really expensive, maybe it would be useful to find another way of payment such as credit card or PayPal.
