An experience of a lifetime
Well I do not want to say much but the title itself describes how enthusiastic my friends and I were all round our journey. We had never used this company before and we had so much doubts but the treatment received was incredible. West East Tours & Safari really know how to take care of their clients. They made us have such an amazing time at the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Serengeti National Park and the Lake Manyara. Considering the experience we have had with them, they are a worth it team and the best for the market according to us, and nitbonly that yheir prices are also affordable.

Worth the money
I never thought it would be so difficult to choose a safari company for travel in Africa. You can literally find hundreds of options for companies offering you their services in Kenya and Tanzania, most of them on the high budget range. If you think airfares are the most expensive part of your trip you better think it again.
After weeks of research I came across Wildebeest Safaris Ltd (based in Nairobi, Kanya ) and asked for some more info about a private 5-day Northern Tanzania Safari package. They can always customize packages according to your needs but this safari thing was completely new to me so I found it easier to go with this suggestion, so we choose them for our Tanzania holidays.
The owner gave me a prompt reply and after exchanging some emails it was all clear to me and the price was the best I could find for an established company.
What I know is that you can decide how much luxury you want and it will be reflected on higher prices. For a safari I only needed a good car, a great driver and a decent camp or lodge. We had a good LandCruiser, a nice, knowledgeable Tanzanian driver and decent and beautiful clean lodges/camps in Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
So, if you go for Wildebeest Safaris ask for a private car, for what we saw and heard there’s nothing worse than being packed on a pop-up roof car for 5 (or more) hours a day going around circles with a grumpy driver and seeing nothing at the end.
This is a good company and it looks like the owner is working all the time to give a good service; I definitely recommend you to contact him.

MJ Safaris is a excellent safari operator.
MJ Safaris helped me to access all the beauty of the Parks and wild animals in Tanzania. They were very attemptive and agile to arrange the details. I liked the linked comfortable hotel structure, the vehicles, the equipment provided, and skilled guides that met me in the right measure. We went to every corner of the Parks. I did a lot of friends during these days, and the price was according to the service provided. I did the Kilimanjaro climbing as well. Nothing to complain.

Fantastic safari! Well worth booking with Shadows of Africa!
A friend and I enjoyed a spectacular safari with Shadows of Africa in January 2014.
Honestly, we were a little concerned before arriving in Tanzania as we had booked purely based on online reviews, however we soon realised we'd hit the jackpot!
We opted for the 5 day camping/lodge private safari as we were really keen to experience sleeping in the national parks. It was truly amazing!! It was very exciting to be woken up at 3am to the sounds of a wild buffalo chomping grass by our tent! A male (huge!) elephant also walked through our campsite twice to have a drink from the large water tanks!! Nothing quite like being that close to such a magnificent creature!
The safari trunks are well cared for. As are the staff. They seem very happy with their employment conditions and are mostly long serving staff. Our safari driver was great! Lots of knowledge and always happy to go put of his way to give us the beat experience. We also had a personal chef cook all our meals which were all wonderful! He even made us chapati on request and was happy to take us for African cooking tutorials :-)
The company is run by Natasha, who is the most wonderful hostess! She went above and beyond to ensure we were experiencing the best Tanzania has to offer. She checked in on us (by phone or in person) everyday. She was even so kind as to organise for us to be dropped off at a local orphanage for a little extra experience for no extra charge!
While Natasha is a very modest lady I must boast that she is extremely generous. Natasha funds a local orphanage which cares for 50 children. The money she raises from her safari company helps feed, cloth and shelter these children AND (if this isn't enough) she also pays to send them all to a private school to give them the best chance in fulfilling their dreams!
Shadows of Africa is a wonderful company. You are not only guaranteed a fantastic experience, but the money you pay is being injected back into the community to help the generations of tomorrow have a bright future.
Hope this helps! Happy travels :-)

Second safari with Right Choice Tours & Travels...
...we shall come back again. We met George and his team in february 2012, and they just did the best job, we could imagin. So we came back for the Migration in 2013, it was again a great safari, and the rest of the trip, 14 days from Nairobi to Naivasha, Masai Mara, down to Mombasa by train, stay at a nice beach hotel in Mombasa and back to Nairobi by plane, was just perfectly organised. Best value for money, we strongly recommend and shall come back.
