Fantastic, good value safari
We booked our safari two weeks in advance with excellent customer service emailing me back very quickly with all the details I needed. It was excellent value for money with travel, accommodation and food all included. We were both picked up and returned to our accommodation.
During the safari our guide, Jacob, was brilliant. He was keen to get us to see all the animals we wanted to spot and went out of his way to make our experience a great one. We spotted lions (and cubs!), a leopard, a cheetah, hippos, elephants and giraffes to name a few.
The accommodation was fairly basic but to be expected for the price and we were always well fed.
Thanks for the great safari.

I had a wonderful experience with Youth Adventure and Safari! Great trek! Amazing staff! :)
I heard about this tour company through a friend who had climbed Kilimanjaro and started emailing them with my questions regarding the trek. One of the owners (Godfrey) responded to all my questions promptly, picked us up at the airport and drove us to the base to start our trek (yes, we wanted to start as soon as we landed to save time). We did the 6 day/5 night Machame route and throughout our 6 days the guides were very attentive and caring. They ensured we ate and drank lots so we have energy for the summit ( some people start losing appetite when they get higher) and briefed us on what to wear and bring in our packs the night before. The cook made us hot food and we even get snacks to munch on on our way up. The porters we had were all very polite, they were always the last ones to hike (after packing up our tents) but the first to arrive and have our tents, mattresses and bags set out for us when we arrive at the next campsite. With all the supportive staff, my friend and I made it to the summit! :) The other owner (Daniel) picked us up after our trek, drove us to our hotel and then to the airport the following day. We have been taken care of from the day we got out of the airport until the day we return home. I have traveled to over 40 countries and have joined many tours, I think the owners of Youth Adventure & Safaris really added the extra touch to make tourists feel welcome and cared for. Thank you very much!! We had a superb time! :))

The best quality-to-price ratio.
A fantastic safari for a reduced price. Only would improve the food in the camp.

Great trip!
I did a 3 day join-a-group Safari with Kilismiletrails. Hamadi organzides well and picked me up from the Airport.
Due to missing their flight, the other 3 people I was supposed to go with couldn't join and I ended up getting a private Safari. I was a bit disappoited in the beginning to go alone, but the trip ended up to be great, mostly due to my amazing driver (Amani). He was very experienced in terms of driving, wildlife spots and wildlife knowledge.
I did a 3 day trip to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, staying two nights in a lode jut next to the lake Mayara entrance gate.
One personal hint: ask for staying inside the camps (at least Ngorongoro), this might even be a more thrilling experience!
Bottom line: 5 stars for the guide/driver, 4 stars for the hole trip (-1 because of staying outside of the park)
Definetelly recommandable!!!

5 star company
My company uses Java Safaris on a regular basis to handle bookings for our clients and I have been extremely pleased with them. They are fast, efficient and have always looked after our clients in the most professional manner. I would not hesitate in recommending them for any safaris in East Africa.
Keep up the great work .

Well Planned and memories to last
Our safari with Nature Bound Africa was the trip of a lifetime. I found them on the internet and the 2 main reasons why we chose to work with them was from our first contact through the planning Eliya Tumaini the owner and manager of the company was fast at responding to our requests and he is truly an honest sincere person
From our arrival in Arusha airport everything went perfectly as planned. Eliya was there to welcome us and drove us to our lodge where we spent the first night.
Our trip was totally worry free Nature Bound Africa provided our local flights, all ground transportation, food and lodging, luxery tented camp.
Isac our tour guide that spent the next few days with us was an amazing funny, happy person and most importantly had a lot of information to share about Tanzania and wild life in general.
The five day safari has provided us memories that will last a lifetime. Each day was totally different and unique experience.
We visited Tarangire National Park and the elephants were there to greet us :) the next 2 days we spent in Serengeti and our final stop was at Ngorongoro Crater the unesco world heritage site and now we know why this amazing place is on the list.
Isac made sure we got to see the the big five which we truly appreciate
Upon our return to Arusha on the final day we have arrived 4 hours earlier then our flight and Eliya was there waiting for us. We all had a great coffee in Arusha and he also managed to change our flight to an earlier one to start our beach holiday in Zanzibar.
Much appreciated and a job well done
Am already planning my next safari and it will be with Nature Bound Africa
Highly recommended tour operator in Arusha
Thanks for everything

Great 3 day trip to Murchison Falls
The trip was well organized and even the "budget accommodation" was excellent. Kombi was very easy to work with and quick to respond to questions. Highly recommended.

Great safari experience with Karibu thanks to John!!
I dont usually write reviews I let my husband do it for both of us! But these guys deserve it!
Was the best! My dietry needs were taken care of! We got very close to the animals, thanks to johns experience and expertise in what he does. He has shown alot of enthusiasm n kept us entertained all along for our 6 day safari, regardless of him driving around 9/10 hrs sometimes more when we were travelling to different parts of kenya for our game drives. I cant thank john enough for making my experience memorable.
Thanks john! And robert for helping us book the safari. I have already recomended this company to a few friends who are looking to book.

Awesome 6 day safari
Me and my wife have just returned from our safari trip. It was a wonderful experience and John, the driver guide made it more exciting and memorable for us, thanks to john's eagerness and expertise he put in during the tour and game drives. Definately would recommend this tour company to anyone wishing to have a fantastic safari trip. John was very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour and made the safari more enjoyable. There was once when he drove for 14 hours travelling from lake nakuru- nairobi and then to amboselli, yet he engaged with us effectively and and did not show any tiredness or fatigue.
In comparison with other tour guides seen during the game drives, john was very proactive and took us close to the animals, whilst maintaining safety. Can't thank you guys enough especially John (driver guide)!!!!
