Excellent Service, extremely happy and impressed.
I was looking for tours and what to do on trip advisor and I come across a recommendation from a gentleman to use falcon safaris. From the initial contact to my drop off to the airport , everything was perfect. My partner and I was most impressed. Vimbai, Essau and their team ensured that we were well looked aftered and that everything was in order. The guided tour of the falls, the helicopter ride and the sunset cruise was all carried out very professionally, we were dropped fetched and well taken care off. As I myself am in the travel industry I will definitely refer my clients to Falcon safaris. Very professional and polite staff, always willing to go the extra mile. We had a perfect holiday thanks to the team at Falcon Safaris.

Excellent Service and wonderfull Safari
The booking was very easy and the tour operator was very flexible and open.
The tour itself (3 day tour to Selous NP) was excellent organized, the car was in a very good shape, the guide was a great driver, knew a lot about his country and the fauna and flora and was very guest minded.
All in all a perfect tour.

amazing!!!!
We had a great experience visiting Tanzania.Our guide/driver was well informed.He was always available o answer all our questions about safari in general snce this was our first safari.Serengeti is the best.Saw all big five.We would certainly recommend Savannah Explorers to future travelers.Roberto was very helpful from planning the trip to the end of the trip.
One thing we would like to share is that make sure your vehicle is in excellent condition.We were stuck with a subpar vehicle!!
Overall,the experience was very satisfying.We have about seven gamedrives in different parks.
We visited serengeti,lake Manyara,Ngorongo and tarangire national park.

Great people, amazing mountain
We climbed Kilimanjaro during a break from our volunteering in Northern Tanzania. We were a group of 20 or 21 and we all got to the summit. Can't explain the feeling. I come from Japan and Mount Fuji is a completely different experience. It made me feel like I can challenge my fears. The organization of the tour was perfect, great guide and great people in this company helped us with everything including the price.

A wonderful experience! The Somak people cannot do enough for you, cannot recommend highly enough.
I cannot express how well we were looked after, from the first minute of being greeted at Nairobi airport to the sad farewell to our Guide, Francis (Mappa)
The organisation, information and general attention to detail was second to none. We all felt very safe and no request was too much trouble.
If we wanted to be picky, the Lodge at Naivasha is getting a bit tired and was nowhere near the standard of the other two, but was still comfortable enough and the staff were very pleasant and accommodating.
The OUTSTANDING element of the Safari was no doubt FRANCIS! he was perfect, such a gentleman, courteous, so knowledgeable and obviously very well respected around the game parks by the other drivers and lodge staff. He could not do enough for us, always happy, always pointing out points of interest and generally happy to answer any questions and converse with us on any subject. The children loved him and wanted to bring him home!!! If there is a better guide in the whole of Kenya I would like to meet him because he would have to be something exceptionally special to surpass Francis!!!
Whoever books your guides please pass on our comments because if all your guides are as good as him then I am surprised if anyone would travel with another company, we would certainly make sure he was available, should we return! He is a great advertisement & ambassador for your company, Cherish Him!!!!!
With regards to our stay in Zanzibar, I again cannot fault this, the Gemma DELL EST definitely one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in!!!
Food Great, staff superb and the location is idyllic.

For adventurer and wildlife explorers.
We had a great time with Joe and Asili Explorer. Safari was way beyond expectations. We've been able to discover the wildlife of Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro-Crater and Lake Manyara Nt. Park from "first row". Thanks a lot!

More than driving
If you are looking to make a Safari, you have to make a difference between "Driving" and "Guiding".
Ben, the owner, is an amazing guide ! I know most of the animals, and he know where to they are.
I love Lion and others felines. Ben, always found them. Not from far, but very close. I remember one of the last day in Serengeti, we got to be at 2meters (6ft) of a beautiful - amazing Cheetah.
It is very rare to be that close of the animals, and we were the only car !
Of course some time, we "fight" with other car. But Ben with is professionalism always found a spot, an access, an angle.
With my different experience with them, I can see how they adapt the way they work to your need and to your expectation. As a Photographer, my approach is not the same than other customers. Ben have totally understand my need, and my wish. After the two first day our relation become very strong, and Ben have always give me the "place" to make my pictures.
And what about them ? Outside the Safari ? Caracal is a family running business. And I believe that we are now a part of their family. They are easy on going person, always happy, and open to speak.
A reference !
I can not wait to go back in the trail with them.
Excellent treking on Kilimanjaro
Together with my colleagues, we decided to go trekking on Mount Kilimanjaro.
We chose agency Shadows of Africa for our trip organizer and we made the best choice. From start to finish, everything went great. Also very well organized was our second part of the trip- safari.
Based on our experience, I highly recommend Shadows of Africa to anyone who is thinking about going there.

Amazing Safari
I did the 5 days safari (Tarangine, Serengeti, N'gorongoro, Manyara) with 3 other persons ( i joined a group). So five days were very intense (lot of driving) but it worths every km and mn.
I took the tent camp safari. The camp sites were beyond my expectations: Panorama camp site (2 ights), camp site in Serengeti (1 night) and camp site Simba A (1 night). And the last night in Arusha (Raha leo guesthouse) was included in the price aswell.
It was low season so the Park were "empty" so we could enjoy the view and the animals without any disturbance.
Regarding the company, we had the best guid and cook ever: Mickael and Amani. Those two were the reasons why this safari was perfect.
I really recommend this company.
