Highly Recommended
I was received by the representative who took me through the immigration process without any problems. Transfers were well co-ordinated to ensure that I did not wait arround idle. Hotel arrival and bookings were smooth with no problem - with everything having been pre-arranged, which made it further easy as Routes Through Africa Chief Representative, Mrs Yvonne Jandles was with me all the time.
I was take through the itinerary and there was flexibility to add and slightly amend my programme. All my requests were accommodated with no problem.
Ms Jandles' knowledge of the Victoria Fall and the full history of the region was outstanding. There wasn't a question which could not be answered and backed with facts - from commerce, economics, statistics, business linkages, tourism related, etc.
Departures were also well co-ordinated without any problem. I will be going back with my family and will definately go through Routes Through Africa again.

Great safe experience, warm & realiable people, definitely recommend
I was recommended this tour operator by friends and have not been disappointed. I felt supported at every step of the way, with the operator going the extra mile to make sure guests' needs were met. I appreciated their competence in cross-cultural communication as well as their focus on genuine experiences. The manager is very friendly and always up for a laugh -- great time!

One of the best experiences I have ever had. It definitely exceeded my expectations.
Excellent Communication. Excellent and professional guides/staff. Service top notch. They under-promise and over-deliver. Safari tour beyond expectations, they go the extra mile. Would gladly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to go on a safari tour. It's a lifetime experience and a dream come true. Real value for money.

A Wonderful, Socially Conscious Safari Company
I have been on many safaris, and the two I have been on with Naenda were by far the best. If you are looking for a safari company that is dedicated to personalized service and ethical travel, this is the company for you!
Jesse, the owner, is an amazing guide. He is incredibly knowledgable about all the parks and has a great eye for spotting even far away or well camouflaged animals. I know when I travel with Naenda that I'm with a trustworthy friend.
What also makes Naenda special is that it is a social business dedicated to serving the community. The company recently donated its profits to a local NGO called Building a Caring Community, which serves children with disabilities and their families in Moshi. I currently work with this NGO and Naenda's support is very helpful for the sustainability of the program. It's so unique to have a company committed to disability accessible travel also give back to creating community based services for people with disabilities in Africa.

Perfect SAFARI and great ORGANISATION
Wonderful journey, a guide and exemplary drivers. We have seen twice the big 5 the same day because they reallly look for it. We have the impression to make a "custom-made and very private journey". An organization without defect and you have the possibility to select your Lodge. I shall not hesitate one second to recommend TVS to my best friend. They do not try to give you what you pay for but really more. And no problem for payment even if you have to send it before to leave.

Recommended without hesitation
I brought my sons to Kruger National Park in late Mar 2014. Under Barney's care, we had the time of our lives. Between his knowledge of the park and animals and his all-around fantastic personality, Barney and his company strived - and succeeded - to make our visit to Kruger Nat Park one to remember. Barney is thoroughly flexible. Want to do more or less of something? Discuss it and Barney will customize the experience to suit your needs and desires. We will recommend Barney and Fun Time Tours to others and will absolutely contact him again for a future visit. Thank you for an excellent time, Barney.

Seamless Experience
Amazing Tanzania did a fantastic job in putting together a once in a lifetime itinerary for our group of six. From start to finish the staff were extremely accommodating and Laura was very good at getting back to us via email to get everything organised for our arrival. Everything was arranged with our comfort in mind. The accommodation on our tented safari exceeded all expectations. They were clean and de-bugged for our arrival with special added touches such as torches and a complimentary Massai blanket for each person. We had hot water when required for washing and a chemical toilet which was fantasic, not to mention the comfortable beds! The location of the camp was amazing and to interact with local Massai guides was a once in a life time experience. They were so happy to have us there and teach us about the local cultures, landscape and wildlife. The food in camp was exceptional and the chef always came out to introduce the lunchtime/evening menus. Drinking around the camp fire at night was so relaxing after a long day out on the plains and to have waiters topping up your drink until bedtime was another added bonus. All of the other accommodations were also of an exceptional standard and getting to and from locations was seamless.
Amazing Tanzania did a really great job in organising our trip and nothing was too much trouble, they even helped us arrange a balloon ride right at the last minute. We would defiantly recommend them as a company and hope to use them again in future trips to Tanzania.

Right on!
Jackson is the man! Anyone would be lucky to go on a safari with him! We climbed the Kilimanjaro Marangu route and had a total blast! All the points covered, no concerns here. Epic!

We felt like real Tanzanian heroes! Jackson cheered us all the way up and down mount Kilimanjaro. We were so happy to have such a great experience and making friends in the process. I would recommend it to anyone- we were very pleased with the organization, service, knowledge and fun!
