Roberto the best!!!
So ... we organized our Wedding Trip with Roberto ..... and we could not have been more lucky !! I'll explain it from the beginning !! We were looking for a local agency so we could save, but we were organizing our honeymoon trip to Africa so it was hard to be able to trust !! We read many reviews from various agencies, but they did not allow to tailor the journey according to their own ideas !! Then one day we read about Savannah Explorers and it was tough because this review was perfect, but Savannah Explorers did not find anything on TripAdvisor (in fact my advice is to sign up) !!! In short, we contacted the agency and found out an absurd availability !! Roberto not only responded to over 30 emails but also called me by telephone to give me every detail! And so it was: the trip we customized us by choosing the lodges we most liked among many !! Obviously it is important to also stay at their advice because being in the place know what is best and what not !!! All the holiday (North Parks + Zanzibar) were organized to perfection without giving anything to chance !! A great thanks to our guide Jamesy who with his experience has been able to see us all: lions (more than 50), leopards, cheetahs, lion cubs, migration gnu through Mara River and also rhinoceros (very rare) .... .and then all the rest that Savana can offer you !!! Not forgetting 3 lioness horses !!! Roberto also organized the Night Safari (experience you can not miss) !! Last tip .... do not miss the camped tent camps Ang'Ata Camp .... the night at 2 there were gnu and gazelle in front of the tent entrance with hyenas at 20 meters !!! Thanks Roberto and thanks to all the staff and I hope to reorganize something together soon !!!

My safari with Kili Serengeti Guides
I had an amazing time with Kili Serengeti Guides, Immaculate (Managing Director)and Mike (driver-guide)! Each and every thing was very well arranged and the places and specially peoples were so nice. Our driver Mike showed us more than I think and it was really really great to see different animals.He was very nice and helpful and answered all our questions about all the different things in the beautiful Tanzania. It was my wish from my childhood to see the wildlife and i just can say that it was a best experience ever in my life.I would definitely recommend to make this beautiful journey!
BEST OF LUCK

Placed trust with them and was not disappointed!
When you are booking 8000 km away with a company you never heard of, the issues of trust and safety come to mind. Maranatha Tours handled every detail well and gave us zero reason not to trust their team, infrastructure, payment technology, ... This allowed us to spend our energy enjoying the most amazing gorilla safari in the world! Highly recommended!

No value for money
The experience was not good. We did 4 days ( Maasai and Nakuru)
The driver was not kind. He didn't listen to our requests. First day we wanted to go for a game drive and he wanted to rest, we were waiting for him. we were always the first car returning to the hotel.
He have few information about the animals and landscape and everytime we did a question he answered with sarcasm ( sometimes he even don't answer)
Finally, we drive 7 hours to Nakuru to do 1 hour game drive on the first day and on he second day again only one hour. We arrived very early in nairobi just for nothing.
Definitely it was not a good experience

tour with individual touch
At first we had nice email contact with Sven who was very sensitive about our wishes. We did not want to visit all parcs in a few days, just wanted to see the gorillas and to come in contact with the local community. He composed a trip for us and we really enjoyed it. We did a walking tour in Kampala with a young Ugandan woman and another great tour in the lake Bunyoni area. It was absolutly fabulous. Our driver Moses was a nice guy, but not talkative. In Lake Mburo NP we made a stoppover in Eagels Nest ( amazing!) and during safari Moses showed enthusiasm and we had a lot of fun with him. Here we also did a Mountainbike tour. At first we were disappointwd because we did not go into the parc and stayed outside but later we realised that we had good luck. We were just we two and had a great young guide who showed us animals, his home, an orphants house ... Another group (23 people!) had gone to the parc and swallowed the dust...
Sven also organised the pick up from the airport and the guesthouses in Entebbe and Kampala. They were both well situated and comfortable.
At least Sven wanted to get feedback and visited us in our guesthouse in Kampala. This was great and we really would recommend him as your travel consultant.

A beatiful experience, due to guide's professionalism and to accomodation in high level lodges
We spent 4 unbelivable days, seeing a lot of animals, many unforgottable savana sights and also meeting local polulations ( Masai and other native africans peoples ), that made our safari very complete. A special thanks to our guide Peter and of course to Roberto that organized evrerything in a perfect way.

Excellent
I recently completed a 14 day safari organised by Peter of African Heart, my fourth, with African Heart and seventh overall in Africa. My friend and I started in Kenya, three parks ,and Tanzania four parks. We had a great time as usual, staying in various types of accommodation, with excellent attention by staff and good food put on the table, the guiding by Salim in particular was excellent, his eagle eye and networking with other drivers produced many memorable moments, we saw 139 lions of various sizes, which was great, but did not beat my record with Salim of 163 in October of 2012. Numerous other animals also made themselves known to us by their appearance.I can recommend Peter, African Heart and his organisation to any potential clients. I encourage all of you to get out there if you can and see the greatest animal show on earth.

Amazing experience of wildlife, people, landscapes in Namibia
Three of us spent two weeks traveling over Namibia, Botswana and ending in Vic Falls. Esmari put together a great Programme with stays in the most iconic places from the Namib Desert, Naukluft Park, Swakopmund to Etosha, the Caprivi strip, the Okavango Delta and ending in Victoria Falls. The combination of landscapes, colors, wildlife and people was simply stunning. We had a great guide, Lucky Gaoeb who drove us around and helped us discover nature and the countries. Super professional and passionate about his country. Namib Desert is a must do, keep enough time to discover it and walk around. For wildlife, Etosha Park is a must but if you have time also visit Mahangu reserve were you will have a closeness to wildlife. You cannot miss the Okavango delta, and if you can do a helicopter ride to get an aerial view of this inmensity of water. All lodges selected by Nature Travel were excellent. Particularly nice were the Gondwana Namib Desert Resort in Sesriem and Musharra Lodge in Etosha. All and all, highly recommendable ! Do visit Namibia ❤️❤️

Brazilian trip in serengeti
We had such an awesome time with Abdulah and Cobelo! Abdulah was like a jungle enciclopedia, and cobelo the party guy! We did some amazing adventures, going after lions and rhinos, sleeping in tents and meeting masai tribes. I'd highly recommend this guys to anyone who is willing to get to truly know Tanzania! I miss you my friends! Best regards from Brazil!
