Review about Serengeti National Park by vicente
The Serengeti national park is the place to go for a safari. We saw all the big five animals. The wildebeests crossing the Mara River was unforgettable. Everywhere you turned, there was life. It is truly a place like no other.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by vicente
Lake Manyara provided many scenic opportunities. We saw many wildlife around and in the lake. We did not, however, see any (tree climbing) lions . We were there for an afternoon and we understand that they could have been hiding.

Great place to see some of Africa's wildlife
The scenery in the Ngongoro Crater is like no other I've ever seen. There's something surreal about being in the crater. Everything is coexisting with one another. One of my personal favorites places on the planet is the Ngoitokitok Picnic area. Enjoying lunch and a coffee there; it's like something out of a dream. I highly recommend going on a hike on the crater rim, guided by the local rangers. We took a 2 hour hike with our guides and enjoyed talking with them as well as the sceneries. Inside the crate, we saw most of the animals except for the rhino and the giraffe (although we did see some giraffes just outside the crater). Our safari guide was from Gosheni Safaris, great guide and company. We stayed just outside the crater at the Ngongoro Farm House, a very high end lodge.

Fantastic Safari: Great sights and accomodation
We had a great 4 day safari with Souk of Tanzania. Pius was a great guide; very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. All accommodation was great, and I would highly suggest adding The Retreat, to your recommended offerings. Food was also very good, and having hot lunches every day was a very nice touch. All the game drives were very good, and we saw loads of animals. The only comment I have about the drive itself would be to try to minimise the amount of time spent driving between Ngorongoro and Serengeti, as that road is very unpleasant. Not sure if this road is avoidable or if there is another route on the return, but I recognise it may have been necessary due to our itinerary. I would also not recommend the optional add on nature walk near the Manyara Serena. While we were asking to do a walk, this specific add-on was quite boring and uninteresting.
Otherwise great trip, and I would highly recommend Soul of Tanzania to anyone.
Amazing place . Nice people and beautiful scenery
We really had our best experience ever. The trip was very nice and like an eye opening experience. We loved everything about Kenya. We love you very much and we hope to see you soon.

Review about Tanzania by vicente
Tanzania is a very humbling place that really changes the way you think about life. We saw many wildlife and unforgettable sceneries. The Tanzanian people really truly know how to live life to the fullest and are some of the warmest people I've encountered.

Fantastic trip, flawless logistics, luxury accommodation, wonderful safari guide.
Everything about our trip was great - the logistics were clearly laid out and executed seamlessly. The accommodations were luxurious, and the staff, most importantly our safari guide, were courteous and knowledgeable. Recommend this company unreservedly to anyone seeking a high-end, exclusive experience.

Thank you for the Tanzania Safari
It has been over weeks after come back to Bay Area from Northern Tanzania. The splendid scenes and amazing wildlife of Serengeti are still around my head all the time. It was a great lifetime experience to touch the East Africa nature.
I really appreciate the help from Ben and Aurelie back to early 2015 and then extends over 2 years to this year. They always response my questions quickly, even it is repeated and maybe non-sense, with detailed answers. I know no one that has been in East Africa before. Actually I have no any idea, except the information from the Internet forum, of how this safari will look like . Anyway the 9-day Safari is a great one. It is beyond my expectation. We are lucky to see the wildebeest crossing the river as well as many different species including the big 5. I also have to thank our guide Alladin. He is an experienced "modern hunter" that always bring us to the right places at right time, such as he is the first one to rush to the Masai Mara River to get the best spot to watch the crossing.
Again the trip is great. I am really appreciated the help and services from eTrip Africa. Hope to come back again soon.

7 days mobile safari from Kasane to Maun (Botswana)
All was perfect. We, a couple on honeymoon, were on a mobile safari with a staff of 3 people : a guide, a camp assist (actually the boss of the agency) and a cooking chief.
Very efficient communication before the safari, to elaborate a customized program with all our wishes.
The expedition was a succession of great moments, full of game drives, boat cruises, game walks, mokoro trips and discussions around the fire (the African television).
Monametsi and his collegues were very nice and professional, always doing their best to make us live a real experience.
Camping in the bush among wildlife was amazing, though we always felt safe in the hands of the staff.
The meals were also really good. Experiencing a Stroganoff beef cooked with a bush fire is something!
Unforgettable! We wish you all the best!

Amazing trip!
Our safari on the mainland and island adventure on Zanzibar were excellent. We had nothing to worry about. Everything was taken care of from A to Z so we could relax and simply enjoy our time in Tanzania. Our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, and the accommodations recommended were outstanding, especially the tented camps... I highly recommend the experience! I can't say enough about Makasa and the care Selma took in making our 25th anniversary trip truly magical!
