Safari of a life time
It's hard for me to settle back into my life at home after such an exhilarating trip through East Africa! Our group was ideal size of 8 and a mixture of well experienced Africa travelers and first timers. The pre-departure information was so good the newbies were just as prepared as the others. Everything ran like clockwork, the camp staff and drivers were fantastic, catering to all our needs with a smile, and their own personal experience and knowledge was clearly extensive. The vehicles were well equipped with charging facilities, fridges and they were water tight (a consideration if you are traveling in rainy seasons...). The timing of the trip was perfect as the game viewing far out stripped our expectations. Jamie's experience as a tour operator and as a professional photographer made this trip a safari of a life time for me.

Breathtaking experience
Definitely one of the best experiences of my life. Recommending to everyone, best month to go October, we have seen so many animals mating. We have visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. I came for elephants and they crossed our path multiple times. We have seen all big five animals and many more.

Trip of a Lifetime!
From the start of the trip, it felt like we knew Kathy and Fanuel. Kathy communicated with us frequently throughout the planning process, providing detailed information and promptly responding to questions. A package was customized to fit our budget and schedules. Accommodations were comfortable and safe. Everything was taken care of, including transportation to and from each destination, which allowed for a stress-free travel experience. Our itinerary was well organized to maximize time. In just 7 days, we visited Dar Es Salaam, Rufiji, and Zanzibar!
Kathy and Fanuel led a safari in the Selous Game Reserve. While Kathy navigated the diverse terrain, Fanuel shared his extensive knowledge about the animals and environment. We saw countless wild animals in their natural habitat, including a rare siting of endangered African wild dogs! We also got a taste of island life in Zanzibar. On our Safari Blue adventure, we swam with a variety of brightly colored fish in beautiful clear water! This trip was one of a lifetime, packed with adventure and unforgettable experiences!

Better than I could have imagined
My husband and I booked flights to SA but didn't have a full plan, and about a week before we left decided to book a Safari in or near Kruger. I reached out to Safari Bookings who sent out questions to a few safari tour companies and eventually connected us with MoAfrika tours.
MoAfrica had amazing communication - they called me right away, texted and when we talked on WhatsAPP, even sent voice memos with instructions which was helpful and made me feel safe that I was booking with a real person! Their online reservation system was easy, safe and secure. I had origionally thought I wanted to stay in Kruger itself, but many were booked so the agent suggested Kapama Southern Camp.
We were picked up by a bus from JoBerg airport to our destination and I could not BELIEVE how lovely Kapama was!
Our guides Selbie and Dee were amazing - Kapama seemed to pair you in your vehicle with like people, so we were with 2 other younger couples. We had the same guides, and waiter for our 3 nights so we really got to know them very quickly. All food and alcohol were included, and the food did not disappoint!! Everything was absolutely magnificent!
My favorite part though were the animals - we saw everything.. Zebra, Rinos, Giraffe, Lions, Leopards, Buffalo, Wharthogs, Impala, Kudu, Nyala... and my absolute favorite - Elephants! Plus its late spring/early summer so all the babies were out!! The weather was perfect, not too hot not too cold.
We brought hiking gear - and did a bush walk but for packing I would say you could get away with some tough sneakers or hiking boots, breathable pants, and then layers on top - I needed my sweatshirt + rain jacket at night usually to break the wind, though there are also blanks and hot water bottles for the trip.
Absolutely the experience of a lifetime - don't hesitate!!

Fantastic 3 days safari to Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara!
I have fallen in love with Tanzania and this was my 2 time to visit this beautiful country. My brother and my bestfriend joined me this time and ofcourse we had to go on a safari. I was sure about what safari company i would choose since I had a wonderful experience last time - ofcourse Benson Safaris. Benson the manager is responding very quikly and he is really good to make a fantastic safari package. First day we had in Lake Manyara , a beautiful place. Second day we had in Ngorogoro. we were so lucky to whatch a group of lions attacking a group of Pumbas :) it was amazing! And our last day we had in Tarangire. We saw a lot of elephants, giraffes and zebras.... The 2 nights we stayed at the wonderful and beautiful Osupuko Lodge in the middel of Tarangire. I highly recommend Benson Safaris and I would choose this company again:)

Amazing Experience - would repeat it in a heart beat!
We had a great safari with Salim and the Zamunda Team and would definitely recommend them.
Godfrey our guide was the best part! Thanks to his superb eagle eyes and experience he would spot animals from miles a way and we got to see everything; from elephants to lions, cheetahs and a leopard. He is extremely well informed about all things animals and Tanzanian culture -it was a pleasure listening to his stories.
We had good food every day and really enjoyed all the lodges that Zamunda helped with booking.
Overall a great experience! We would happily repeat the Serengeti multiple times over
amazing
Everything is awesome with it ends in Africa, great services
Customer care...
Be sure to have e greatest adventurous time ever!

Beautiful scenery and nice people
We had a great time visiting Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro NP, where we encountered lots of animals, including lions, elefants, hippos, giraffes, buffalos, gnus, and many others. We had nice weather in november.
Arusha was very crowded, specially at rush hours, so driving was quiet difficult.
We met nice people, our tour operator Benson Safari did a very good job.
I can recommend Tansania as a beautiful destination for safari.

Beautiful landscape of stunning variety.
Arusha National Park has an incredible diversity of landscape for its small size, ranging from savannah, to soda lakes, forests with craters, and the slope of Mount Meru itself.

We had a great experiense booking our trip with Uhuru travel.
We had a great experiense booking our trip with Uhuru travel. We wanted to book a safari on very short notice. Mr Uhuru was fast accurate and flexible, organising a very good safari tour. He was very helpful, thinking everything trough and organising the whole trip including transfers. And all of this for a very good price.
