Amazing Safari!!
My girlfriend and I joined "World Tours & Safaris Tanzania" for our first Safari, 4-Day Amazing Tanzania Safari Experience, and it was simply incredible!
Even though we have got a bit nervous at the very beginning, but Richard could still work it out by promptly replying our emails and clearly stated all the details. When we arrived getting off from a 4-hour delayed bus, the pick-up has already been arranged, without the need to wander for our hostel at dusk.
And our driver/guide and cook were both outclassed! Horace, was just amazing, always spotting animals way before we could, even after half-day driver, and without him, we might not be able to spot all "The Big 5" in just 4 days. And our cook was great too! we just love all the food he made, especially the veggie soup, and everything was prepared when we just finished our game-drive.
I could not recommend you guys enough!!

I had an awesome experience with Solaris Tours and Travel during my holiday in Nairobi ,Kenya.
Once i requested the package, the information was sent to me almost immediately and the service was up to my expectation. From my view, i got the real value of my money and would not hesitate to engage you again during my next holiday. My safari to Maasai mara National park was awesome and full of vivid memories. Would recommend you to my friends at any given time.

Expert advice and arrangements
Being new to Africa travel, we had only vague ideas about where we'd like to go on safari and what kind of camps and tours were available. We also started planning a bit late for getting the best camps in the best season. Tailormade Africa's Clyde Beaty talked us through the options and came back with a perfect two-week tour of Northern Zimbabwe, including four different camps -- a mobile camp in Hwange NP, a private lodge on Lake Kariba, a small seasonal camp in Mana Pools NP and finally a more elaborate and luxurious camp in a concession , also at Mana Pools. Once in Zimbabwe everything went smoothly (despite an airline delay arriving); all the land connections and internal small plane flights were as planned. The the camps were each different and each had its attractions; taken together they were a fantastic introduction to Southern Africa wildlife and safari culture. Hope we can go back soon -- we would definitely do it through Tailormade!

My annual getaway
I can't see myself going on safari with any other safari company. The lodge, food, company, views, animals - the whole package is what makes me go again and again without any doubts. Shaun, the owner, goes to every length to keep his guests happy. His knowledge, sense of humour and overall warm personality makes any day in the bush a memorable one.

Bramwel are cheats and cannot be trusted one bit
We had a similar experience with Bramwel Safari. We took the safari in Sept 16. We landed in Kilimanjaro and had someone pick us up in a jeep that was smelling of fish (we are vegetarians). We were taken to Planet Lodge, thankfully this was booked. The next morning we were greeted by another driver and guide Dennis (he was good) in a clean jeep. We drove to Serengeti and our woes began. We were there by 11 am and when the driver went to the counter to get our permits, he was told that there was no money in the card issued in Arusha. He called William Amon who heads Bramwel Safaris, and was arguing with him. William told him that he was going to the bank to deposit the money in the card. We waited at the gated until 2.30pm. Still no sign of the money. We decided having come this far let's just pay by credit card and get over with this. The dirver took us to the lodge that was supposed to be booked for us and as suspected the booking was not done. We have been driving around and it was getting quite dark. Luckily the driver knew another lodge and knew a person there and we managed to get a tent for two nights. We were so disappointed with all this that we decided not to go for the Hot Air Balloon for which we had paid 1000 $ advance. I am sure if we had to do this we would have had to pay again.
From Serengeti we headed to Ngorongoro and were told that the luxury hotel that we had paid for was not booked so we would be staying at another hotel. Luckily the hotel was booked and we did not have to pay for this.
On the whole William keeps on promising and from what I have read on their website and here, he seems to have made this his way of making quick money out of people who have worked hard and saved up for a trip like this. Because a trip like this is not cheap. He says he is God fearing and goes to church. I doubt very much the man has any conscience. He is still cheating people saying he will repay them and then more empty promises.
Please do read reviews on the tour operators and do stay well away from Bramwel.

But the animals was not many
Over 4 days our group (6 people) visited 3 national parks of Tanzania: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire. I spent the night at the Lodge, and others in tents. I recommend to spend the night at the Lodge is slightly more expensive, but very convenient. More just like Ngorongoro. Tarangire is between Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. In Tarangire a lot of elephants. In the Serengeti the animals were not much. 4 day Safari for me was worth 900$. It is expensive. The driver was not very good: the road was driving not very confident, Not always stayed near the animals, he said himself the amount that I should give tips for him. Couldn't care less about tourists. The food was good. The accommodation was good. But a whole tour like 4. But the animals was not many.

Well aranged safari, with experienced guide and human touch
The guide knew what he was doing, knew where to go for good spotting. Communication with Jeff was good, he kept us up to speed and offered alternatives if needed. We were well taken care of with good lunch and a human touch... Jeff was clear about the teams of our booking and explained everything very clearly. Only minus:you have to pay in cash...

Fantasitc, start to finish
I can't recommend Avocet enough, from start to finish we were looked after brilliantly. Out driver/Guide edgar was top class, as was our cook Hadji - no complaints at all about the food, it was fantastic. Edgar went to great lengths to make sure we got to see all of the 'BIG 5' - I cant find fault with any of the trip or Avocet - 5 stars....

Very professional, available, flexible - I strongly recommend!!!
I thank Ryan for the great support in the organization before the safari and I do thank Doug our guide during 4 wonderful days in Kruger for his knowledge, his patience and his kindness.
This company deserve to be well known and I do recomment to everybody reading my comments not to hesitate. I've contacted many of safari agency and I didn't find more profesionnal than Adventure Anywhere (Ryan is very reactive). I saw many of their competitors on the road of Kruger Park who drives very fast and miss a lot only thinking about Big5 to get better tips at the end (a shame to miss other animals...).
Long life to this Adventure Anywhere !!!

Amazing trip! Thanks to Kenya Walking Survivors!
I had only 2 days available on weekend and I wanted to see elephants. That's the reason why I chose Amboseli National Park. My friend suggested me a few companies to choose from and I decided Kenya Walking Survivors with several reasons including fast response and great reviews. I was right! I got almost immediate response. Then the services were great tailored with budget I had. Amazing tour company. Highly recommended! You won't be disappointed.
