Great safari by a great company run by great people.
In honest I never expected value for money when I considered travelling to Africa for a safari. But I was humbled with the first email response from Steady Safaris by Carlos. He and his entire team orangized a 12 day safari which left us completely satisfied with their detailed service, knowledge, honest, integrity and professionalism. We highly recommend this company to everyone and we will send my parents to you soon. Life friend!

Well planned itenerary great delivery good value for my money
It was my first trip with total strangers but that was as far as boarding the van allover sudden we were bonding by the time we arrived to our destination it's like we had known each other for years. Still holding on to friends from this trip. It was much more fun than I expected good service in my mind I thought she should have charged more because everything was perfect. I would do this trip again time allowing.
Great Tanzania Zanzibar beach safari
you can't imagine this, and up to now i can't believe it happened. We were a family of nine we did last minute booking. Kenya Walking Safari provided us with two 4×4 land cruiser which were all new.
The communication was faster and everything was fixed within 30min.
All our program remained the same throughout and no program was changed. The drivers were so much friendly and that made me love Kenya walking safari. Accommodation was perfect we really felt at home with a great competitive price.
We enjoyed to our best. I highly recommend Kenya walking safari. Oti once again am honoured for your service.Cheers.

Fantastic Safari Experience for Cheap
Our safari experience greatly exceeded our expectations. Additionally, we felt the safari was a very good value, and I would book through this same company in the future. All transportation and hand-offs went very well. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly and enabled us to see everything that we wanted. We felt safe at all times, with no problems or hiccups along the way. The food provided was good, and we were never hungry. They fed us well. Finally, the communication of the office was fantastic, allowing us to experience the exact safari we were looking for. A terrific experience and highly recommended! Note: both camping and accommodation (lodge-hotel) options are available. We did a combination of both. I thought the camping was fine. However, my father would have preferred the lodges. The lodge we did stay in was amazing. It was fun hearing the noises of the wildlife while camping.

Faultless organization and wonderful team
We sought the help of Asante to organize our honeymoon in Tanzania. We wanted it to be memorable so we decided to go for a 3-week trip including a climb of Kilimanjaro, a safari and relaxing time in Zanzibar. We started planning well ahead of time and Renny, the owner, was wonderfully helpful. She always answered promptly the countless questions I had and the advice she gave me regarding the organization of the trip and lodges were extremely valuable.
Thanks to Asante, our honeymoon in Tanzania was the best trip of our lives. It is very difficult to put words behind what we have experienced in Tanzania thanks to Renny (the owner), Muhammad (guide in Kilimanjaro and in charge of coordination on the ground) and Honest (our safari driver).
Our Kilimanjaro climb was memorable. My wife and I have actually never camped out before so this was a ‘first time’ for many things! The scenery we saw was breath-taking and was changing every day. This was certainly not an easy challenge but Muhammad and the team helped us hold on until the last day. Muhammad, Oforo (the guide) and Ilyas (the assistant guide) were there for us all the time, always answered our countless questions and helped us so much during the long hikes by keeping the moral up and adapting the pace. Thanks to the team, we took it slowly and did not experience any serious altitude sickness. This was one of the most emotionally-intense experience we have ever had.
The safari part was dream-like. We were like children discovering the animals in the Lion King (for that matter, we have watched the movie again in one of our lodges and it was really funny to do so and recognize some of the Swahili words and the animals!). Honest really was a wonderful guide. He knew everything about the animals and always answered our questions. He is very cheerful and easy-going, always in an excellent mood and ready to help for anything we wanted. He knows the routes perfectly and was absolutely stunning in spotting animals from far away. We were very lucky as we have watched so many different things: beautiful scenery, the big 5, prides of lions, a baby leopard climbing a tree, a mother cheetah with 2 babies, 3 male cheetahs chasing gazelles, hyenas killing a baby gazelle (during the hot air balloon safari), a gigantic wildebeest river crossing (the most impressive thing I have ever seen in my life!). The comfort and quality of the lodges was exceptional and we were very impressed by the quality and sophistication of the service.
Finally, in Zanzibar, we had a wonderful and relaxing time. The beaches were beautiful in both Pemba and Paje. The food was very good and we loved the atmosphere in the island, particularly when we spent a day in Stone Town. We were amazed by the cultural wealth of the island.
During the whole trip, whenever we had special requests Muhammad always managed to make them happen. The organization really was faultless. Hats off! The Asante team really knows how to organize a bespoke trip to Tanzania and make your every single wishes become true!

An unforgettable trip, with unforgettable people! A dream come true!”
We recently (July) took a trip to Tanzania entirely organized by Tomodachi Tour & Safaris.
The trip lasted seven days, and we did a 4 days camping safari (to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) followed by 3 days of Mount Meru ascent
The organisation:
Joseph,the Tour Manager, demonstrated professionalism throughout the organization. We started exchanges four months before our trip, and after becoming aware of our preferences, He offered a program. He was listening to us, he adapted the program until it exactly matches what we wanted, and always with a smile and kindness. Everything was managed down to the last detail and his accommodating side is probably one of the things that make the difference with other companies..
Safari & Trek
For Both the safari and the trek to Mount Meru, everything was fantastic.During the Safari we had a fun guide,who knows the parks and animals, he always had stories to tell about the animals or the park. That was very informative and funny. He made sure we saw all the animals (that exist in the parks). The guide in question is called Chad.
Another person who deserves to be honored is Bruno, the cook (a great one) during the safari and a great Mountain guide. All his meals were more than delicious,and during the ascent of Mount Meru, he was our guide, he took the time to know the band, and the last climb,his advises were great.
I cannot express in strong enough terms our satisfaction, I summarize by saying that it was a nice and unforgettable trip, thanks to the Joseph and his team from "Tomodachi tours & Safari".
Asante sana Joseph !

Truly magical, surreal & unforgettable first safari experience!
When the opportunity came up to go to Kenya for a friend's wedding, my husband and I knew we wanted to tack on a safari to our adventure. We went on the Offbeat Safari experience through The Luxury Safari Company and it was a real treat. The camp was small and intimate, eco-friendly, relaxing and run by a lovely local couple and their team. We made our own schedule each day. The food was great and re-counting our tales with other travelers over dinner each night was a highlight. We saw pretty much everything you'd hope to see on our 3 days there except a cheetah. We saw two endangered black rhinos and leopards twice, a crossing of elephant families, plenty of zebras, wildebeest, hippos, crocs, vultures, gazelles, giraffes, ostriches, male lions and lionesses their cubs, hyenas eating their kill and loads more. We also visited a Masaai village. Everything was extremely well-organized. An incredible travel experience all around and a great option for a first safari!

A nice way to start love Africa
Me and my wife have dreamed about safari for a whole year. We gathered tons of information about Kenyan parks. The crisis in Russia almost killed our hope about trip. Luckily, we found the tour for a decent price and length. Our guide Anita met us in time in the Nairobi airport. After one overnight we began our adventure. We have visited Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Amboseli. All parks were amazing, especially Masai Mara- so many lions ,cheetahs, and wildbeests! Also, we visited the Giraffe Center between our stops in Masai Mara and Amboseli. It was cool to feed and pet giraffs - what a beautiful animals! And, of course, we visited the masai village - it was entertaining and informative.
As a man who had never been in Africa before I would like to say that our tour was great.
A personal "thank you" and appreciations to our guide Anita and our driver Sammy - you made our tour a really interesting one.
As for the small drawbacks I would say that our hotel in Nairobi wasn't so good as we expected.But this is mostly the fault of the hotel itself.
Overall, I would like to say that Marabu Tours is a nice company who offers interesting routes for a decent price. I will recommend it to my friends.
