Most amazing holiday experience with safari trek tours
It was the best experience ever. Having not visited the Maasai mara before, the chance came for me and my family to visit there and with safari trek tours being our guide. They provided us with all we wanted. Our driver Moses provided us with all the information and would explain to us things we didn't know about. Then he took us to Thompson falls and it was amazing. Safari trek tours, I can't wait for this summer for another amazing time with you.

Best holiday ever!
We used African Safaris to arrange our trip to Kenya. They were fantastic. We were particularly interested in seeing the Wildebeest crossing, but had never been to Africa before so didn't know what to expect. What a thing of joy our trip was. We saw the crossing, the big 5 (leopard several times), had fabulous accommodation/food and a brilliant driver (thanks Joshua). We went to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and (of course) the Masai Mara. Every day was filled with beauty and wonder. I'd never considered a safari before and it exceeded all expectations. Every time I see a wildlife program on t.v. I'm transported back to our holiday. And even now (several years and many other trips later) I can still say that the safari in Kenya was one of the best trips of my life. If you've never been, make sure you do. You won't regret it.

A Dream Honeymoon
We had a wonderful time on safari with Safari Infinity. After months of research and countless emails between other tour operators, my husband and I decided to go on a Tanzanian 9 day safari with Safari Infinity because of their fantastic reviews and very personalized customer service.
I've listed below some of the most positive aspects of Safari Infinity:
-Lucia is fantastic to work with. She was always very quick at returning our emails and also gave us a call to discuss trip details. She made many alterations to our itinerary all without one complaint. She knows the parks well and knows how to plan the perfect itinerary to suit your needs. While we were in Arusha both Lucia and Simon came to meet us. They are both wonderful people and are so passionate about their jobs.
-Our guide Eric was also great. He was always on time and was very patient with us when we were running late. Eric was extremely knowledgeable about all of the wildlife and made an effort to show us all of the animals we wanted to see. You could tell that Eric has been a guide for many years as he knew his way around the parks well and knew how to maneuver the bumpy roads so our backs didn't hurt and our vehicle didn't break down or get stuck in mud.
-One tip we have would be to talk to your driver at the beginning of the trip, and even each day about the plan for the day. That way, if they were planning on taking you to see something that isn't as interesting, you'd have the opportunity to discuss. ie. If you're not as interested in birds as you are in mammals, it's good to mention that so you don't spend as much time with the various birds.
-We loved the safari vehicle. It had really good suspension which was great as we both have bad backs. We found that standing up with our heads out the pop up roof while on the bumpy roads helped keep our backs healthy.
-We left a few things at the lodges along the way and Lucia was kind enough to ensure that these things were flown to Zanzibar for us to pick up when we went back to the airport. Talk about going above and beyond!
There were a few hiccups in the trip, but they weren't major and didn't really affect our overall impression of the company:
-The seat belts of the passenger seats right behind the driver were not working. Eric is a very safe driver, but because we have to always wear seat belts in Canada, we just felt bare without them.
-We could not make calls with the cell phone we were provided with. This made it difficult to make last minute changes to plans with Eric.
Like I said, these were not major issues and did not affect our overall impression of this highly professional company. They went out of their way to ensure we were happy on our trip and I would definitely go back on safari with them.
Attentive, 5-star service with Africa VIP!
My father had previously been on a trek to Kilimanjaro with Kambona and his group 4 years ago. I had planned to take a trip to East Africa on my own, and decided to contact Kambona to see if I could add on to a group that he already was booked. He not only made accommodations for me, but my brother, our friend, and my father (who decided to come again). Kambona personally picked us up from the airport and waited for an extra hour (due a luggage issue). He made sure to take us to the airport the next day to pick up bags which were essential for our hike. The hike itself was intense but made all the more achievable by Kambona, his main guides, and the porter team (which he picks and tries to work with on every trek). Our camping experience in the Serengeti was also excellent, with another familiar team of helpers and cook, that have worked with Africa VIP for years. This is a group that really knows what they are doing, and really knows how to give visitors an authentic, but attended trekking and camping experience. Kambona has many friends scattered throughout the world, and we share his fantastic reputation with our closest friends, so they too can have the best experience in East Africa.

Amazing Mt. Kilimanjaro experience with AHLA!
Hi I am 56 years old woman and I hiked Kilimanjaro with AHLA -Arusha Hostel Lodge & Adventures. It was a life changing experience!!! Justin (the owner) and his staff met every need I could have possibly had. Justin stayed right by my side on summit night, encouraging me every step of the way! While climbing up the breakfast wall, Justin offered his hand to me to get up some difficult maneuvers. The food was so delicious...homemade soup every night...and sweet/salty fresh popcorn awaiting us when we arrived at each camp. A cake was made and all of the porters, guides and cooks celebrated my accomplishment in the last camp site. I was so impressed with this company that I ended up giving a total of $1000 tip...never had I done that!! I have reccommended AHLA to many friends and all of my children have now hiked Kilimanjaro and gone on Safari with AHLA. I HIGHLY advise you to go with AHLA..you will not regret it!

Excellent safari!
Before the trip many times I wrote letters and called to Mr.Otieno about our route. He helped create the best route. In nine days we visited 5 parks in Kenya and Tanzania. Total we had four people from. When we arrived Otti already waited for us in airport. He took us to a nice hotel and organized a tour of Nairobi. All hotels and campgrounds where we stayed was consistent with price and quality. The driver was a good guide and very well known parks. Addition to the driver , with us the whole trip was a great cook who always cooked delicious food. During Safari had no problems, we saw all the big five, made the best photos and went to rest on Zanzibar. If you need more information, Otti have my contacts.

Amazing safari, outstanding service!
Just a quick message to say we had an amazing Safari and feel very blessed to experience things we will definitely never forget. Our driver knew the game parks like the back of his hand. We cannot imagine a better holiday, and appreciate the exceptional customer service.

The trip of a lifetime!
Thank you so much Safarihub. We had an absolutely fantastic time. We were all so shocked by the beauty of Zanzibar. It was certainly the trip of a lifetime, who can forget the topaz waters and waking up to the beautiful sunrise. We miss Tanzania already.

Amazing. Pure luxury, and romance in the middle of the bush. Nicest Tented camp i have been to.
This was an incredible safari! Fly camp was beautifuly set up... white bed sheets and duvet covers, within a big canvas tent. All the small details to make it feel luxurious even though its a fly camp in the middle of the bush. We heard lions roaring every night.. and saw lots of game. The horses are wonderful, and the staff is very kind helpful and professional.
Highly recommended !!!

5 Years of tours with Savannah and still can't fault them!
As part of a project I run I have been taking groups to Tanzania since 2008 and have always relied on Savannah Tours for all our transport and accommodation throughout. The groups have ranged from 7 - 27 people of differing ages from all over the world and who forward to a taste of life in Tanzania. All arrangements from pick up at the airport, travel and accommodation all over the country, including safaris, beach breaks and the visit to the school which is the subject of my Project, are undertaken by Savannah. Their friendly and efficient staff go out of their way to make everything perfect and their drivers cannot be faulted for their care and attention. I cannot recommend them highly enough and you will not be disappointed by choosing them for your safari or tour.
