Very enjoyable and excellently guided
Dan is a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The trip was well organised and good advice given at planning stage on places to visit. Safari was very cost competitive. Will definitely use Kisoro Tours again.

Our honeymoon safari was fantastic!
Our guide (Mr.Abdul) was very knowledgeable about various animals and he made sure that we saw the big 5 and more. The vehicle was very clean and well maintained.
This truly was a trip of a lifetime, we will definitely recommend Fantastic Safaris to others going of Safari in Tanzania! It was great having such personal service. Great job and thanks for making our honeymoon such a memorable trip!!!

Trip of a Lifetime
I was part of a group of four that went on a Safari in August 2015. I was with my girlfriend and another couple who were friends of ours. We knew that this was the trip for us just by looking at the website and seeing the amazing photos of places and things we might see. We booked an 8 day stay with 5 on Safari and 3 nights on Zanzibar. We never thought that our experience could live up to the pictures, we were wrong, our trip was even better. Once we arrived all aspects of our journey through Tanzania were arranged for us.
On arriving at Kilimanjaro Airport we were collected and brought to the Outpost Lodge in Arusha. This was a lovely hotel a short walk away from the main part of town. The comfortable hotel was exactly what we needed after a long day of travelling. The evening was ours to spend as we liked and the next morning we packed up the jeep and were ready to head off for Tarangire National Park. As we packed the jeep we met our guide, Hilary, and our chef, Dioniz. These were a fantastic team and helped to make this such a good holiday, i could not recommend them highly enough. Over the next few days we visited four areas (Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater). While this was a slightly personalised plan Justin was very accommodating in allowing us include the places that we wanted. Although there was some extra driving, we didn't mind as the landscapes you pass through are breathtaking from the dry scrub land in the dry season outside Arusha, to the vast Savannah around Serengeti with as much greenery as Ireland during the wet season. Each place we visited was different and had something special to offer, with the exhilarating encounter we saw of a lion stalking after a cheetah in Tarangire, to the amazing waterfall in the mountains around Lake Natron, the up close experience of being so close to a family of elephants that you could nearly reach out and touch them at Serengeti, and finally the incredible quantity of all types of animals at Ngorongoro.
We camped in the tents and sleeping bags provided which were of excellent quality. Each campsite was different but enjoyable as there was the chance to chat to other people on Safari. After the long day of driving we always looked forward to our chef's food. Everything was outstanding and his meals surpassed those of the restaurants we later ate in when on Zanzibar.
Our trip then took us to Zanzibar where we stayed 2 nights in Stone Town. Our itinerary included a tour of Stone Town and we added a trip to a nearby island where we got a tour of a prison, saw Giant Tortoise, and snorkelled in the clear blue waters. We stayed in the Tembo House Hotel which was quite comfortable with a beautiful location opening onto the beach (this was great at breakfast where you could look out and see the boats preparing for a day on the sea). On our way out of Stone Town we had a spice tour which brought us to one of the local farms. This was very interesting for anyone with a love of food or cooking to see how some (now common) ingredients grow.Our last night was in the Kendwa Rocks Hotel which had a spectacular location right on the beach. Unfortunately we had a few issues but these were purely to do with the Hotel and their staff.
Overall our highlights would be the sights on safari of the many different animals and the very enjoyable time we spent with our guide and chef. Both made our experience all the more enjoyable, with Hilary's hawkeye vision spotting the smallest animals way in the distance (be sure to bring binoculars so you can see them) and his endless knowledge of each animal, and then Dioniz's fantastic food and great company. Both men spent time with us each evening and we had great chats comparing life in Ireland and Tanzania.
I would highly recommend Tanzania-Expeditions to anyone interested in Safari and to try and get the team of Hilary and Dioniz!

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Rolf
It was sad to see that the Mara river had so little water.

Amazing and fabulous Safari vacation
We were 2 families and Flash planned every detail of our vacation with professionalism and caring. As a smaller more flexible company, all special requests were met with understanding and a smile. Flash not only arranged our safari with a fabulous and wonderful guide named Adam - but all lodges and the tent camp were perfectly chosen to give us an amazing overall experience. They also handled our Zanzibar portion and that was carried out with the same professionalism and perfection as the rest of the trip. I can't say enough good things about Flash - from the moment we contacted them via email and until we were on our plane home we felt Flash with us, and how important it was to them that we have an amazing time.

Wonderful trip
I was with Gametrucker in Turkana Lake for a cultural festival there. We spent 7 days travelling in Northern Kenya by a truck and sleeping in tend. The travel went very well, the agency team is professional and friendly. All passeggers were extremely interessing people and we enjoyed time together helping the team in daily activities preparation such as tend camp setup, as a family. We discovered amazing lands in remote area of the country and we have always the security standards in place. Definitely the most serious travel agency i have esperienced in east africa.
