We had an amazing wedding safari.
We booked a 4 day safari with Godson Adventures. I guess Godson himself picked us our favorite tour according to our wishes. The tour was very amazing. Our driver Peter was very skilled, even when our truck had a little breakdown, and he explained us everything thanks to his huge knowledge. The truck and our midrange lodges were all comfortable. After the safari we booked another 1 day tour through Arusha NP, which we can recommend too. Thanks a lot to Godson and his team. This operator is very trustful. We wish you all the best in this hard times and hope to see you one day again.

Best safari you could imagine!
We had an amazing trip with Migration into Tarangire park, N’goro n’goro crater, we stayed in the Serengeti national park living in tents for two nights among lions, hyenas and elephants, the experience was simply amazing - much thanks to our guide, Tom. He showed us all the best corners of the parks and managed to show us every animal on our checklist, we literally were bombing him with questions and there was nothing he didn’t know, super knowledgeble and humble guy. We simply were above and beyond. 11 out of 10 points to Migration v. and Tom.

One of my lifes best experiences
Tom was more than a guide for us.
He became a part of our little group of four and he was very good at what he does. In the beginning of our five day safari he asked us about wich animals that we had on our wish list so that he could make a plan and a good rout for each and every day so that we didnt miss anything.
And we did actully get to see each and every one of the animals on our wish list throu out the safari. In the beginning of every day before take off he explained what we would do that day and if anyone of us had a question tom always had the answer and that gave us a fealing of securety.
Tom always was aware of our soroundings and of our safety. He gave us a feeling that he always had everything under controll and that is very important quality in a safary guide i think because if the tourguide is not so sure about things that makes you as a passanger very unsecure and that takes away alot of the experience. Tom got us to encounter the animals from very close distance like 2 meters from a cheetah.
I souldrottningen say that tom gets 11/10 points for his knowledge and experience.

SCAM- avoid at all costs!!
Rama the owner is a very smooth communicator, and it’s easy to be very impressed with his handling of your booking and answering your questions, etc. But despite trusting him a lot, he completely scammed us.
First, take a look at the reviews he has on TripAdvisor, Google, and SafariBookings. Pretty impressive review scores. But take a closer look at the reviews themselves. Do many of them appear fake? Are they written mostly by reviewers with only one review, written by other local safari operators and/or have poor grammar? Are some of them written by “Rama Mo” himself pretending to be a customer?
Our first clue that something was amiss was when we tried to find the office that Rama claims to have. He told us specially what building his office was in (it’s also marked on Google maps in this prestigious location). The office does not exist.
Once we realized this, we asked to see the car that was “being repaired” as part of his story. This was the night before we were to leave on our trip. During the trip to see the car (which was honestly bring repaired as described, but based on its condition did not appear ready for departure the next day) we talked casually to him about our trip and how excited we were (that it was our honeymoon).
One hour after he returned us to our hotel, he sent a group WhatsApp text including an unknown person saying that his “business partner” (really just one of his drivers posing as his “partner”) was unsatisfied with the price Rama has agreed to and that the trip (which was to start the next day) would be 3x more expensive!! When I protested that we had agreed to a price weeks ago (Rama had gone so far as to specify what kind of USD bills to bring and I had sent him a picture of the bills laid out on a table), they refused to even acknowledge the deal they had agreed to. It was clear that they decided to take advantage of the information we had given them — that we were on our honeymoon- to try to extort us for 3x the price. How messed up is that?! The trip is now ruined and Rama has been increasingly dishonest in trying to justify this 3x price increase (we’re talking about thousands of dollars). It’s actually been quite embarrassing as Rama has repeatedly made new claims and I just keep responding with a screenshot of previous messages he sent contradicting his new lies. Avoid at all costs!!!

Hassle free & very professional service from start to finish
Vincent was an absolute delight to deal with. From the first phone call he was extremely polite, professional and very eager to facilitate my requests regarding our safari.
Our 11 nights in Uganda was very nice and fabulous and Murchison Falls was very nice also. On arrival at Entebbe International Airport, we were met by our guide from Ecovic Tours for our transfer to the Lodge where we were welcomed by very warm and friendly people who were more than eager to impart their local knowledge on us. The game drives, boat safaris, chimpanzee tracking and mountain gorillas tracking, golden monkeys viewing were some of the best we encountered during this safari.
We would certainly recommend and utilise Ecovic Tours again. Many thanks to Vincent for a memorable trip.

The best trip ever!
This was my dream to go on a safari in Tanzania and see all of the magical things I always whanted to see. Tom our guide did everything in his way to make this experience the best possible and he always was a part of our group and always told us what was going on so we never felt that we were in the dark about anything. Tom is the best!!!

Great company... great private guide through Mikumi/ Ruaha...
Just recently in early December 2020, I finished a trip through Tanzania Horizon Safaris and I could not have been more pleased. I arranged a 7 days/ 6 nights tour through Southern parks of Mikumi and Ruaha. Everything went perfect.
I am not a first-time safari goer, and have already been to several trips throughout Uganda. Just like Gorillas and Wildlife Safaris for Uganda, Tanzania Horizon Safaris is a class act for Tanzania.
I come from the United States, and I felt totally safe being around in Tanzania. Socially distancing is entirely possible, and almost a given going to the national parks of Tanzania. So please do not let Covid-19 prevent you from coming. In fact, it is probably better coming during this time because there is MUCH less people coming through the airports. It just felt a lot more peaceful, compared to the hectic nature prior to Covid-19.
Elizabeth, the guest relations manager for Tanzania Horizon Safaris, responded quickly with a competitive price for my trip. Another company offered a price that seemed too low and too-good-to-be-true. After further research, it was indeed that way. One should do their research before choosing a company. Tanzania Horizon Safari offered what they promised. A private guide. A well-equipped and functioning 4X4. Game drives during the day, and very good accommodations at night.
Davis, my guide, picked me up at the hotel on Day 1. We drove the Mikumi. Lots of animals there. By the end of Day 2, we saw 4 of the Big 5, with the exception of the rhino, which do not exist in Mikumi. Wildlife population was dense in Mikumi. Despite people saying there is no wilderness appeal in Mukumi, given its proximity to a road, I beg to differ. In a day through the park, I only saw maybe 5 other safari vehicles. Davis was great spotting wildlife, including a leopard in a tree. During the night, I stayed at Camp Bastian. Luxurious, and had strong hot water . Very good food at night.
On Day 4, we drove to Ruaha and I stayed at the Ruaha Hilltop Lodge. It was very remote and far from any civilization. The Lodge had an excellent view and the staff there were amazing. Inside the Ruaha National Park, it was a bit harder to find wildlife, given the trees, but Davis managed to do so. Honestly people would go to Ruaha just to escape life and be in peace. I definitely found that there. That park will remain in my heart for a long time.
I am entirely satisfied with this wonderful company, Elizabeth and Davis. All in all, everything worked out perfect. Good communication with Elizabeth. An easy payment plan (credit cards are accepted, with a small fee) with a very competitive price for a 7 day/ 6 day tour through the Southern parks. Great accommodations. Private guide. Private game drive. No need to go along with a group. Saw a lot of wildlife. I wholeheartedly give my support and props to Tanzania Horizon Safari. Job well done!

Best Safari for Uganda Gorillas
I recently travelled with Fede tours to bwindi for gorillas it was awesome seeing the gorillas in their natural habitat it was amazing seeing those giant animals. The safari was well organised and we were satisfied with the services. I would like to express my gratitude to Fede tours and recommend them to the rest of the world.
Thank you Fede!
