Amazing!
Although we didn't se all in the big five it was amazing. To see all this animals in their real environment,
with a genuine masai as our guide. I will be back some day with my family.
Ngorongoro, Tarangire
We really enjoyed our safari trip in Tanzania with Ilmaasai. We had a driver, a chef, and a 4x4 for ourselves, so we got to taylor our trip according to our specific needs. The crew was also very accommodating with all pour requests and the owner was very responsive and on top of everything making sure we were having a great time.
we highly recommend it.

Everything you would want - and more
We booked a short safari of three nights with Amazing Tanzania, staying over in Tarangire Safari Lodge and 2 nights in Karatu. We visited beautiful Tarangire National Park for two game drives, and spent an awesome day in the Ngorongoro crater. Our guide Paul was very knowledgeable, humorous, service oriented and spoke perfect english. From the moment of getting the quote and booking, up until the end of the safari, communication with Laura of Amazing Tanzania has been excellent, and also meeting her and Colin and enjoying their hospitality proved to be of high added value; when travelling Tanzania it's really refreshing and interesting to hear about the experiences of these great two people who enjoyed both the Western and African lifestyle. I definitely recommend using their services!

Splendid service from the people at Dancom Tours
I was thinking of how best to surprise my fiance on her birthday and after talking to Dancom tours,they seemed to have exactly what i needed.I needed an exotic location not far away from the capital Nairobi and Dancom tours suggested we try out lake Elementaita Sentrim resorts,Elementaita.They had our bookings done and we took a drive with my fiance on a sunny Saturday afternoon.They organized a surprise personalized dance birthday reception for her.It was an out of this world experience for us.Dancom tours ensured we had the best out of the trip by constantly checking on us for the two days we were on safari.Our nature walk guides were highly informed on the scenic rift valley history and ensured we did not miss out on any part of history.I would recommend Dancom tours to anybody anytime.

To See the Endless Plains
A week on safari in Tanzania. Memories now, but what a great trip it was. As a source of information and advice in the planning stages, Thierry's first-hand experience was invaluable. He patiently accommodated numerous revisions as we fine-tuned our plans and made all the necessary arrangements in Tanzania. Our guide from Mount Kilimanjaro Safari Club was terrific. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. The accommodation (mostly tented camps), service and hospitality were excellent. The wildlife - both game and birds - was spectacular.

We had a great trip over 2 weeks with etrip covering tarangire, ngorongoro, central Serengeti, lobo and northern Serengeti. I was particularly impressed with the communication and organisation both before and during the trip. I would not hesitate to recommend etrip.

Review for '6-Day Walking to Heart of Masai Village Lake Natron'
This past summer, my sister and I signed up for a Maasai walking safari with Wildroots Safari without knowing what to expect.
As it turns out, this trip turned out to be my best experience out of the entire 7 months I spent on this continent.
We were accompanied on the walking tour by a cook, two donkey men, several donkeys (to carry your supplies) and most importantly our wonderful guide, Nasha.
I cannot emphasized how wonderful Nasha is. After spending such a long time in Africa, I was really exhausted from dealing with corrupted, money hawking tour guides. Nasha, however proved otherwise. He was the sweetest, educated, insightful guide who spoke good English. Being a Maasai himself, he was able to share his personal experience growing up as a Maasai.
We would walk for 5-6 hours everyday at a comfortable pace. It is amazing to be able to witness how the tribes live on a day to day basis, watch kids as young as 4 graze the cows on a land with predators such as Hyenas. To top it off, we managed to see plenty of wildlife such as Giraffes, Zebras and Wildebeest along the way!
If you are still undecided as to how to spend your holiday in Tanzania or if you're sick of sitting in a Safari vehicle every single day, I would highly recommend this trip for you. Ask for Nasha to be your guide. On a trip like this, you spend 15 hours with your guide daily and it is imperative you get a good guide like Nasha.

A Photographic Route to Game Park.
Selous is one of the largest game park of the world covering more than 54,000 Sq Kms, most of the park is reserved for Gaming ( I seriously hate that) and another large area from Mtemere Gate near Mloka village is reserved for photographic tour. Reaching the park by road is around 245 kms from Dar Es Salam Tanzania and by Air 30 mins to some specific camps.
Since its game park unlike national park animals can be seen very close and the animals does not have any boundary. I went to Selous twice September and again in October. From the entrance gate after we drove in side open safari cars and after 15 mins of drive was mesmerized by collection and density of the animals and variety of birds. Interesting part of Selous is after each 5 or 6 kms the topography changes sometimes is plain near the lake , other time red soil with white thorn bushes and again green large tree with paddy roads. I saw over all 34 lions with 4 different prides, was lucky to be watching them eating fresh hunt . Driver normally drive very close to them effectively a 300mm lens is sufficient enough to click lions, apart from lions giraffe, kudus, water buck, heartbeast, wilderbeast, different kinds of eagles, bee eaters etc was in plenty. Night can bit scary as starting from lion to hippo all was roaming near our camp. Some of the camps are too much luxury some are moderate but most of them are built on the bank of Rufiji River, hence morning walk near the boundary you will be able to see animals and birds easily. Most of the resorts switchoff the lights are 10 AM and is left with battery backups. Overall the best part of Selous are 1. Close proximity with animals, 2. Huge Collection of Animals. 3. Shoot as you like means you can even get down at a distance from the car and take worm height shot of an elephant 4. Support from the guides to take a good shot. I would any day recommend anyone to join Selous.
