Incredible experience - definitely recommend private tour with open vehicle
My wife and I went traveled to South Africa with my brother and his friend in Sep 2019. The safari experience was absolutely breathtaking and Wild Planet Safari did an exceptional job making this once in a lifetime trip come true. Because it was 4 of us we elected to do the private tour, which I strongly recommend as we were able to customize the tour to our liking. I also think the extra money for an open vehicle was well with the cost because there was nothing between you and the animals. Overall, we recommend Wild Planet Safari without any reservation.

Perfect 5 day safari with Roam Serengeti
We had a great 5 day safari in February with Roam Serengeti - I can highly recommend to choose them for your Serengeti adventure!
We found Roam Serengeti by looking at good-rated safari operators on Tripadvisor. Communication with Mussa was great, he responded always within a few hours. Mussa created a nice 5-day tour for us and also recommended to integrate the southern Serengeti due to the Great Migration there at this time of the year. Our schedule was: 1 day Tarangire, 3 days Serengeti, 1 day Ngorongoro crater. He always made sure that all questions or requests from our side were considered. After booking, we made a prepayment and then decided to pay the whole amount upfront to reduce cash while traveling. Worked perfectly.
Our actual guide was Lyimo and we couldn't think of a better one. He was very experienced (10+ years of experience), knows the area and wildlife very well, was a safe driver and made always sure that we have a great time.
Whenever we come back, we would always ask again for Lyimo and for sure book once more with Roam Serengeti.

I have to return to Tanzania one day
To begin with communication with Teacher owner KWESA was amazing. He practically gave us all the information we requested to create the perfect itinerary.
Moses our is probably the most charming Tanzanian I ever met, friendly and genuine care for me and my girlfriend. He was gracious to take our needs first and comfort in the 5 days of safari to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. Looking back, Moses actually made our trip the success it was. He tracked so many animals for us, flexible enough to agree to an impromptu Masai Boma visit which we came across along the way....
We were hosted in great accommodations and met locals who were perfect hosts and very courteous.

12 Day Safari in Tanzania and Kenya
It was our first time on a safari, and it couldn't have been better. Indeed, it was lifetime experience for us. From the communication with the company and the professionalism of all who were part of our experience was exceptional. Our safari guide Kennedy and Joseph who made our experience so special. They were all informative and with their expertise we were able to see many animals every day! What the company suggested to mix of hotel and luxury tented lodges was perfect to us. Thank you very much for this experience.

Amazing experience
We had booked into Ngwenya lodge and did a number of game drives with Bush Xplorers, what an awesome experience this was. It was by far one of my favourite holidays. We had amazing sightings and the guide was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and plant life that we came across. I would definately recommend Bush Xplorers to others and will definitely use their services in the future.

Unfortunate Experience
Galloping Safaris took our money for a trip they did not deliver. Our hotels were not booked or paid for in advance, as promised. We chose activities that they did not take us on and did not respond to our questions and requests to have our trip as planned. Walter was avoidant of our texts and phone calls, but offered to meet us in person to make it right and explain himself on our last day in Tanzania. We drove for hours to meet up with him and he never showed. Walter has offered to provide my group a refund of some funds, which we accepted, but he has not followed through with that promise. I strongly urge you to pick a different company for your safari.

Broken Promises
I booked a safari though Kenya and Tanzania with Galloping Safaris in 2019. Walter provided a nice itinerary for myself, my husband, and my two best friends. Other providers were less expensive, but Galloping Safaris had great reviews, so I went with it. Walter demanded prompt payment, that the money be wired to him immediately, which we did. The safari took place in February 2020. There were several issues throughout, including Walter and his staff not listening to requests to change small parts of our trip, lying about why we couldn't go to a place we planned to go, and skipping events we had paid for all together. We had paid for two nights at The Four Seasons Serengeti, and Walter instead had our guide take us to a less expensive hotel three hours away, one that was riddled with tsetse flies, without letting us know that we wouldn't be staying at The Four Seasons as planned/paid for. We demanded that they take us to the Four Seasons as planned the next day, but when we arrived the staff at Four Seasons let us know that Walter had not paid for our stay, and we were left sitting in the lobby. They told us that Walter often does this, and they do not extend credit to Galloping Safaris anymore, so we would have to wait until he paid to be taken to our rooms. We asked the Four Seasons staff to confirm the rest of our trip with the hotels in our packet that were booked, and not one of them had been booked or paid for. My guess is that Walter is unable to pay for the current clients' reservations until the future clients give him cash, which is why we were stuck waiting without paid reservations even though we had submitted payment in full to him many months earlier.
When we had issues with the trip Walter ran from us, ignored our calls, had our guide disappear. We drove hours out of the way on our last day of travel to meet up with Walter and settle up our issues, and he never showed up.
Through phone calls and emails Walter acknowledged that he was at fault and owed us a refund, which he never sent. We have contacted him multiple times and its always one excuse after the next.
I have traveled all over the world and have never felt as scammed as I have with Galloping Safaris. I strongly recommend that you book your trip with a more reputable provider.

Wonderul trip to Kenya with Weru as our guide.
Weru was our guide in Kenya in Nov/2017. He provides high-quality service, excellent communication skills and the safari tour with him was a great experience.
