Highly Recommend Kilidove Tours, Paul(kilimanjaro) and Joshua(safari)
Highly recommend Kilidove Tours!
During our search for a guide company for climbing Kilimanjaro, George, the company owner explained every detail imaginable in great detail leaving us with no doubt that Kilidove Tours was the guide company for us. Every question and concern, and there was many, was quickly and professionally addressed. we exchanged more than 60 emails
Our guide, Paul, Max and crew, were no different. It was obvious that it as much their goal for us to summit as ours. The entire staff were knowledgeable and very attentive to the needs. It was very obvious early on that our crew was watching us closely, monitoring our wellbeing to ensure we had an amazing and successful experience. Our meals were great. Every meal was excellently prepared, with a variety of fresh, nutritious, and tasty meals. I can't say enough about our head guide, Paul. Excellent communication skills, vast knowledge of the mountain and his attention to detail made our journey more than just a trek through the countryside of Tanzania. The communication between our expedition coordinator and guide was amazing. By chance, we summited a day ahead of schedule and KT and crew were kind enough, on short notice, to extend our safari that followed our hike by an extra day, all of which took place from the side of the mountain.
The safari itself was magical; we saw tons of animals; excellent choices of accommodation we stayed at Sopa Lodge in Ngorongoro, Serena in Serengeti and Maramboi in Tarengire on our 7days safari our guide Joshua, was excellent professional and we felt totally safe with him,
Before committing to a guide company for safari and Kilimanjaro do yourself a favor and contact George at Kilidove Tours. I'm confident you won't regret it!

very well adapted one day trip around nairobi
Ancient Wild Safaris did a great job to propose a last minute one day trip around Nairobi on the way to great rift valley. They did adapt to my request to modify or extend some of the visits and they event brought my back directly to the airport.
If you have one day available in Nairobi before you flight back home on the evening this is the way to go ( for a reasonable price)!

Excellent and flexible service
We requested a tailormade safari and Zanzibar holiday. After contacting also other companies, Msafiri was able to provide what we asked for at a competive price. Upon arrival we were taken well care of and when my daughter fell sick for a few days there was flexibility in adjusting some the hotel bookings. Charles the driver, and Leina the manager, were both very pleasant and trustworthy people that we would recommend to anybody to travel with. The only (minor) hich-up was the hotel in Dar Es Salaam that was not quite up to expectations.

A fantastic family vacations due to a very well planed journey with good sites and excelent guides
We had a very good previous experience during the planning of the safari. We were able to modify the trip and select the places and duration according to our request. Most of the success of the journey is because of the flexibility shown by BTS in preparation. Once there, both guides (in Kenya and Tanzania) showed a high acknowledge of the sites and were dedicated and warm.
Definetely, an awesome experience

[Highly recommended]Can't find better safaris and cultural experience than Matunda provided
The trip provided by Peace Matunda was truly amazing and definitely unforgettable in my life. Also as solo female traveler, they had always made me feel safe and welcome everywhere. During the six-day safaris, my guide had tried all he could to show me the best wildlife at the best position and had good crisis management as well as humour. While my cook had also tried his best to fulfil my special request on food. After coming back from safaris, I had joined the coffee and cultural tour with lots of laughing and learning. By walking and visiting local families, I had felt so privilege to touch and join part of their life.
All in all, no word could really express my feeling well. My heart left in Tanzania thanks to Peace Matunda.
If you have chance, please must take a visit to Matunda orphanage to hang out with children who are nice and polite. Also joining the cultural program(such as waterfall in Mt. Meru, coffee and cultural tour etc.) to have first hand experience on local life.

best tour Oparetor in kenya for tour
Before we get to Kenya we did same research in our country. This Oparetor had a package according to our requirements to comparable with many other companies. But they had a tour planed that suited our date and for same reason, they were significantly more affordable compare with other tour operators in kenya. After the advanced payment of 10% we had good email contact until the day we arrive in kenya. They picked us they promise and gave us a briefing and we paid the final balance.
The Safari it's was axactly as the promise us even though the group was super small they sticker to the exactly program.
The equipment and there vehicle where all good, and guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.
We ended up all happy with operator and would remind them

Wild Dogs for tea....
Roger at Safari Lifestyles did a great job in recommending our safari lodges. We are a family of 4 adults and our passion is photography and we wanted to get to areas like the Okavango and to camps were comfort was not as important as the wildlife... we loved it...!
3 lodges in all and one with a private vehicle for just the 4 of us even though we didn't ask for it... every box was ticked in terms of wildlife but I guess the best moment was stopping for afternoon tea and stretching our legs... a pack of wild dogs ran straight past us chasing an impala. We were immediately ushered back in to the car and gave chase .... Honestly, this is the just the most exciting stuff..!
Sincere thanks to Safari Lifestyles... we plan to come back in 2017 and would use use you again without hesitation... it really helped that you are wildlife photographer yourselves and that was evident in your huge amounts of advice.

Great experience in Mikumi!
We went on a 3-day safari in Mikumi National Park and it was a perfect safari experience. It is only about a 5-hour drive from Dar (it all depends on traffic--Fridays and Mondays take longer) but there were not many tourists once we got there, so you have the park to yourself to track down various animals. We were lucky enough to see male lions, female lions and their cubs as well as any other animal you could think of including birds! We saw elephants in a watering hole as well as hippos at another watering hole where you could get out and walk around. The park was beautiful and well-maintained. It stormed one night but overall the weather was perfect and the cloud formations out on the plains made for amazing photographs. There were one or two nice lodges (with restaurants) as well as outdoor camping options and cabin-type accommodations (with a small kitchen and local cooks associated with it). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and it's a great alternative to flying all the way to Arusha just for a short safari.
