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.

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!

Review about Kapama Game Reserve by Joseph
The Kapama reserve was fantastic with great lodgings and a wonderful density of animals. We saw the big 5 plus so much more, and repeatedly on game drives!

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.

Maasai Mara unforgetable Experience
I traveled with my Family to Olmoran Camp for 3 nights . The organization of the safari was super . Budget was pocket friendly . all services were handled in a very professional manner with prompt reply on any questions we had . I enjoyed my stay at the Olmoran Tented Camp . I would recommend anyone to use Bison Safaris for your safari arrangements any time and you will never be dissapointed .

The best and most personalised Safari you will ever find!
Chabo was highly recommended by an aquaintence and we had high expectations. They were all exceeded. My family and I had many special interests and wishes, and Chabo were extremely helpful and inventive in helping us realise all our dreams. Also, the guides expertise and experience in nature, preservation, culture and both ancient and contemporary history was quite impressive. We LOVED the South part of Tanzania. Don´t miss the opportunity to make this excellent safaricompany help you put together a lifetime experience according to YOUR interests and budget. I especially recommend the fantastic combination of a great safari with the timeless beauty of Isimila stoneage site, including a visit to the village that will change your "western-european" way of thinking forever. Oh, and our Chabo guide is one of the nicest persons we´ve ever met!

Authentic and private safari experience - definately value for money!
Initial communication with the company was very good, but they could have been better at advising on where to go in the park, and what each area could offer. The planning of the trip could have been better in order to minimize unnecessary transport and aim at staying at more attractive locations. Camps get unavailable quickly so book in good time. However, the guide was very experienced and knowledgeable and went the extra mile to give us a good experience. All in all a very memorable experience, where we saw a vast selection of animals and got even closer to them than expected. A very good company if you are looking for private safari.

Wonderful time in Zimbabwe
I spent 8 days with Natureways in July: First 4 Days on the Zambezi (Tamarind Canoe Safari) and then 4 Days in Mana Pools. Everything was organized perfectly by Natureways – pre- and during the trip. Our guides on the canoe safari (Julius and Kambel) were very skilled and our safety was their priority. It was a wonderful and fun experience. Mana Pools was one of my highlights of the whole vacation. The camp was set up at a stunning spot! The team on site was professional, friendly and a pleasure to be around; I especially appreciated the kitchen crew – they made the most delicious meals for us (on fire)! We spotted amazing wildlife on the walking safaris thanks to our guide James Varden; I was particularly impressed by his knowledge and respect for nature.
