Review about Mikumi National Park by Eleanore Avery
I would not advise as a final destination, but it is good along with Selous and Ruaha which offer great river activity.

Review about Mahale Mountains National Park by Eleanore Avery
Lovely camp setting on Lake Tanganyika. I did NOT so much enjoy vicious Chimpanzees.
Trekking terrain can be very difficult for a senior :)

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Eleanore Avery
Beautiful park can be visited on way to other parks. Forest setting encourages lions to settle in trees...many elephants, monkeys, Baboons.

Vuriva does a Great Job
I have been to Tanzania with Vuriva three times (May 2007, February 2009, and September 2009), and never failed to have a great experience, and with their help, was able to get very good photographs. I am a very serious amateur photographer and appreciate their knowledge of what it takes to get good photographs on a safari. And their friendliness was unsurpassed. We became friends rather than just clients. Because of our enjoyable experiences with them, 'my wife and I are bringing 15 of our friends with us for another safari in February 2018.

Amazing
I had an amazing trip with Encounter Africa Safaris and recommend it to anyone who wants to go gorilla tracking -pic-up, service, food, great staff and of course the tracking itself.
Absolutely first class, best of 4 safaris we have been on
Despite Jambo Airlines attempt to mess it up by breaking their plane at Ukanda we were able to contact the owner late on a Saturday to alter our plans. Our guide, Anthony, was excellent both as a safe driver (rare in Kenya), an on the spot repair man and finder of the big 5 and a lot more. We did the Aberdares/Samburu/Meru/Ol Pejeta safari. All was good but I would have preferred to have swapped the Aberdares for an extra day in Meru. Meru is a delight and should be visited by many more people and the Ikweta safari camp picked by Mwema was a gem. You can never promise Leopards but 3 in one day in Samburu was the pick of the holiday (excepting our daughters wedding that is!!!).

Amazing four days safari
We took the services of Heri Africa Tours for a 4 day Safari and all I could say is that Immaculate and her crew were excellent in all aspects. The communication and organization were very efficient. Three weeks prior to our trip, everything has been sorted out and we’ve been in touch for questions which were greatly handled. Immaculate went beyond her job to provide us info on visas, vaccination, transport, accommodation, etc. We couldn’t ask for more. I personally enjoyed how the whole trip was made special by John the chef, Mike the driver/guide, and Immaculate our main contact.
The trip was affordable and way lower as compared to other tour operators we asked quote from. We expected a low quality service with the price we bargained for but we were surprised that everything has been up to standard. I highly recommend Heri Africa Tours if you want affordable yet quality tours to Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Moshu and Arusha. Thanks for organizing such an amazing trip for us.
