thanks guys
Everything was perfect. We have been for eight days to Arusha park, Manyara, Tanrangire, Serengetti, Ngorogoro en two days to Zanzibar. We have seen the big five: Leopard 3x, Rhino 2x, Elephant 60x, Lions 50x, Buffel 50x. Special thanks to our driver, guide en friend Hamdani Mohammed: he was great!
After some initial confusion with pick up the whole trip was very professionally conducted
This was our first safari experience and we loved it. Jeffrey our guide and leader of the group was always finding ways to enhance our experience. The drives were exciting and excellent. Quite late in the evening he organised our balloon safari for the morning. We would highly recommend this if it fits the budget ($450 pp). Our guides and staff at the lodges were very friendly.
The only negative was the initial pick up which could have been better coordinated and enhanced our experience at lake Nakuru. But in nature holidays these things happen. So overall very good.

We had a great experience , more than we expect.
The Gosheni's staff is very reliable and available. The quality of food was impressive. And the lodging was more than adequate. And the safari tour was memorable especially because of our guide (jambo Samir!) who knows almost everything about the tanzanian fauna , who sees animals where they hide and especially, put up with the talking of our family :-) Akuna matata

We went to Kenya on safari and Wildebeest was great to work with and the trip was a success.
We really thought the services were first-rate. Dennis, our tour guide, was very accommodating and we had a great time on safari with him. It was apparent that he really wanted us to experience the best of gaming and we saw the big five as well as other species that were magnificent to see. We had a couple of requests and Dennis was able to assist us while ensuring we stayed on schedule. We will use Wildebeest on our next trip to Kenya and Tanzania.

Everything worked fine
AA took me from Nairobi to Vic Falls and I really enjoyed the experience. The group had people from different ages and backgrounds, from uni students to retired ladies. After a few days you feel very familiar to your travel buddies and there is a general feeling of cordiality and warmth. The food was great and I could make it healthysh. There is options for vegetarians, lots of fruits and vegetables if you like.
The truck is fine if you keep in mind that an overland camping tour in Africa not supposed to be comfortable. I felt safe all the time and reafirmed my belief that dangerous places are not necessarily those where many people live a very simple life.
Do it!

An absolute pleasure to deal with
Having just spent an incredible week on safari in Tanzania I would like to give special mention to John Williams and his entire OpenAfricaSafaris team. It was my first time visiting Tanzania so I was a little apprehensive before hand, this was unnecessary as John had every detail covered. I would highly recommend Tanzania for an unforgettable experience.
We saw all the animals and birds that one hopes for when they go on safari but Tanzania has much more than animals. The landscapes are breath taking and the people are a joy to meet.

Memorable vacation with a Excellent tour operator
We (family of 5) spent 10 days in Kenya and Tanzania. Ngorongoro crater, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. Kenya and Tanzania are uniquely endowed with nature and wildlife, what you need is a tour operator who enables you to experience it in the most efficient and effective manner, OT and his team at KWSS does exactly that. Within a few emails and telephone conversations, OT had understood what I was looking for and was able to craft a tour that met my needs. He was extremely responsive but made sure he did not get pushy at any time. From the time we arrived in Nairobi to the time we departed, KWSS was with us, helping and guiding us along. Markos our guide/driver in Kenya was simply awesome. Very knowledgeable and and amazing person over all. All the lodges and safari camps OT recommended were excellent. The game drives were well timed and efficient.
Some pointers that may help first timers..
1. plan at least 2 days in each location... Wild life can be enjoyed only when one is rested.
2. Drives between location are long ... plan to be in a vehicle for extended periods of time.
3. Add in some walking type safaris.... You are constantly moving but in car/vehicle...
4. Budget additional time for crossing borders and make sure you know what is needed to cross over. (visa fees/vaccinations etc etc)
5. A good guide/driver is what makes a safari Great...

The best experience we had in Tanzania
To say the truth, it was our first experience of booking safari, and we used this website to find safari provider. Among other companies, Hello Tanzania responded me always in time and in full. At the stage of booking, Hello Tanzania recommended itself from the best side. The organization of safari was excellent as well. The company executed the negotiated service and always tried to exceed our expectations through providing tailored service (we needed some changes in the planned route). Moreover, all our queries and issues were resolved in highly professional way with client-oriented attitude. We wish all the best Miss Mo Mwajabu and her company, and definitely recommend to choose Hello Tanzania as safari provider.
