A trip of a lifetime with great attention given to every detail and location!
I have travelled several times with Masihambe Afrika and each trip is designed with great attention and detail given to location, accomodation and activities. The communication given leading up to the trip is always very informative and useful helping you navigate and understand up front what to expect on your safari, as well as what to bring and where you will be travelling. There is great variety in the accomodations used to give you a varied experience and allowing you to experience Africa as it should be. The itinerary is top notch and includes many highlights that not a lot of other companies offer as well as very personalized service. The guides that are used can only be described as top notch and the best that you can have, with a real passion and zeal which leads to an unbelievable experience to those that are new to Africa and to those of us that have been to Africa numerous times. Once you have travelled with Mashihambe you will not want to go to and see Africa with any other operator!!!

Amazing Safari
My son, an experience traveler, picked Safari Infinity from an internet search and it lived up to all the reviews that he had read. We did a 12 day safari that was tailored exactly to our desires. We loved the accommodations, especially O Mesera and Kati Kati Tented Camps. I recommend March because the animals were just in the process of raising their babies, so cute, that it really added to our trip. We were there during the ebola 'scare' that was on the other side of the continent so it was less traveled by tourists!!! The food was excellent everywhere and our guide was super intelligent about where to go and what needed to be done no matter what.... Safari Infinity is a super well run outfit and small enough that it is very attentive to whatever you are hoping for your trip! I would recommend some tented accommodations but also some of the more expensive ones with extra facilities. You have choices with this outfit.

Awesome experience, great guide Hamadi
Me and My friend Narsi took the tour to kilimanjaro and safari to serendipity with Hamadi and group. They are excellent host and very helping. They are cheerful lot with many people trying to make good conversations. They are reliable and trust worthy. They pushed us when we were thinking that we cant make it to the top. They gave us best food available. They provided us guidance as well to shop in Tanzania. The Safari was awesome and very neatly organised. They are very hygienic and professional in there approach.
I would recommend them for best safari personalised trip in Kilimanjaro. I would like to travel with them again some time soon.

Wonderful experience
All communications with Speke Uganda Holidays in planning our trip was straight forward and useful. They were very obliging and keen to make our trip successful. Our trip lived up to expectations in every way. Our guide Robert was professional, informative, friendly, interested and committed to making us feel comfortable and enjoying our Ugandan holiday. The choice of accommodation was excellent and the trips in the parks were great.
Would recommend to anyone.

Our experience with Bush Travellers is really very nice. Sage is a knowledgeable guide.
Services of Bush Travellers are excellent in all respect. We have enjoyed our mobile safari and explore wild life.
Bush Travellers proved true beyond our expectation. I would like to recommend them strongly.

Best family vacation
The safari was absolutely fantastic! The driver/guide was excellent and we had the opportunity to witness Africa's wildlife and people up close and personal. This was truly the African experience.

An incredibly interesting and memorable tour - a real-life Attenborough experience!
Paul Tickner Safaris provided excellent service long before I had even set foot in Tanzania. Everything was organised and communicated to me in a manner that dispelled any anxiety prior to the excursion - Paul is highly knowledgeable - not only about wildlife and conservation, but also about the culture and travel within the country. I was constantly blown away with his ability to answer ANY queries I had.
Paul made the entire journey as easy as possible, which made for an extremely worry-free trip. Since this is the first time I have visited East Africa I was expecting some difficulties on the way, but Paul completely removed any troubles and was clearly ALWAYS considering my comfort and safety.
The safari tour was unbelievable. Ruaha National Park is absolutely huge, but it seemed as if Paul knew it like the back of his hand! He would stop the car whenever I saw something I wanted to take a photograph of and kept his sunny disposition for the entire trip. He'd also speak to other drivers on the safari to see if there were sightings of lions (which I was particularly keen to see). Being able to speak to the locals in Swahili, it meant that Paul was accurately able to locate two sets of lions for me to take photographs of which was a dream come true.
My main takeaway from the safari tour was how much Paul cares for and respects the animals and the local communities. There was a real personal feel to his tour which I doubt you would get from other safari companies. At one point during the tour, he stopped the car nearby a group of elephants napping under a baobab tree. I had numerous questions about the behaviour of the animals and the tree itself and it felt like I had a David Attenborough sitting next to me telling me everything I wanted to know. He was constantly able to provide me with information about the area, the birds, local culture, conservation, the animals, the vegetation, etc.
Paul also organised flights, accommodation and transfers for me so I could take a mini-break in Zanzibar. The hotel I stayed at was on the beach and brilliant value for money - it was a beautifully relaxing way to end my trip in East Africa.
I highly recommend Paul's services and suggest that everyone takes a trip to Tanzania to indulge in a mind-blowing experience! Thank you Paul Tickner Safaris for providing me with a holiday I will never forget.
