Park fees nightmare.
Day 1: My husband and I fully paid for a 4 night 5 day safari to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Mara.
The park fees was included in the package, but when we arrived at Amboseli our first stop, we were notified that our park fees had not been paid. We therefore had to wait for 30 plus minutes in the heat, while our driver tried to sort out the problem. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to contact out booking agent Peter Ndambuki, we were notified that we had to pay an additional park fees so as to be let into the park!!
Day 2: We were instructed to go by the office enroute to lake Nakuru, to pick up a refund for the park fees we paid on day 1, and additional park fees for Lake Nakuru and Mara trips, this added another one hour plus to our 5 hour plus drive. When we arrived at the office, the money was not ready for pick up and we had to wait for another 30 minutes for the money, despite the fact that the booking agent is the one who scheduled the pick up!! Needless to say, we arrived in Nakuru hungry and tired and only managed to have a very short game drive.
We are waiting to see whether we have a better experience for the next two days, but we don't intend to ever, ever use or recommend this company.

Experience of a Lifetime
My husband and I went for our honeymoon and it truly was an experience of a lifetime! The communication to coordinate our trip was easy, everyone was extremely friendly and the experience was unforgettable! This trip was beyond our expectations and worth every penny! Everyday on our safari was an adventure, we saw something different and exciting everyday. Our ranger and tracker were extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the area and animals. Our hotel lodge and tented camp experienice was also incredible! The service was excellent, food was delicious and everything was very clean! Hotel staff was more than accommodating. I would love to go back and do it again one day. Amazing trip!!!

my experience with wild Africa
Robert could not have been more helpful helping me to select and arrange my trip. Promo with quotes and all information I needed to know for my trip. Nothing was too much trouble. My first flight was cancelled due to a technical problem with the plane. I emailed Robert to find out what to do and he went above and beyond to rearrange my trip to a day later. All worked out great including motswari letting me spend one night in giegers camp at no extra cost. When I arrived at motswari I was told I was staying at giegers camp for the duration of my stay at no extra cost which overwhelmed me. The staff at Geiger's were excellent as well,I was treated very very well. I will without question recommend wild Africa and Robert to anyone who desires a trip to Africa.
Still out of pocket
We had a good, and bad experience with Tembea. Despite paying 50% of our fee more than 3 months prior to travel, we found we had no bookings for our intended itinerary when we arrived in Tanzania in July this year. They appear to have cash flow problems, and only booked when we arrived with the balance of our fee. Luckily it was not peak travel time, and we were able to get into all but one of our intended lodges. However, in Ruaha, we had to pay again for 2 nights as the money transfer had not arrived from Kenya to Tazania, and we are still USD1000 out of pocket, 4 months later.
The safari, and driver were excellent, but not knowing if accommodation was going to be available as promised was a big disappointment, as was the extra cost. I would be very wary using them again, particularly in peak season.

Amazing vacation with top tour planning and top guide A++++
After having done lots of research on the web for a good safari operator in Tanzania, we also found Makasa and were convinced from the very many excellent reviews.
Furthermore already the first contact was very helpful and already providing us with lots of good hints and tips even though we were still far away from booking a package.
They spend a lot of time planning and organizing "your" safari, so that you will have the individualized tour you are looking for.
Everything was then managed in an excellent way, the car was nice and ideal for animal game watching, the national parks we visited were all worth the visit, so were the accommodations.
Our guide, Khalibi, spoke very good English and knew tons about the local flora and the animals. In addition he was fun and we really had a great time.
We can totally recommend Makasa esp. if you are looking for a highly individualized safari!

*marvelous trip*
Our safari was a fantastic adventure, that we will always be in our minds and hearts. During our 3 days we saw not only all of the big five but so much more. It s the most beautiful and breathtaking environment you can ever imagine. We made the the safari in a big group with 7people and i would really recommend that. The guides were great fun to be with and i really felt they knew what they were doing and were doing it with all of their hearts. They could tell us so much and i felt always safe with them. Everything was well organized and the food and equipment up to western standards, and also very delicious (not talking about the equipment here).
If you are staying in tanzania you really have to make a safari and i would surly recommend you to go with this company for us it was just the right choice so we could truly enjoy this marvelous trip

Masai Mara holiday trip
I was on one week break from my job, i came to know about ACZ Safaris from my friend. i went through their website and was interested with the 3 days Masai Mara safari. i am glad ACZ safaris guided me through choosing the best accommodation. Their experienced staff picked me from Nairobi town and took me to Masai Mara where i had an adventure experience of a life time. Through their guides, i was able to spot the big five animals. i like African Comfort zone Safaris because of the way they connect very well with clients.
