Great 8 day private safari trip
We booked a 8 day private safari with Macho Halisi and enjoyed our trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater very much.
Our driver guide Herry Temba was very kind and a careful driver. He was very patient when we wanted to stop to take a lot of pictures and also told us many interesting things about the culture, as well as the animals of Tanzania. He helped us to spot all the big five and much more during our trip.
We can highly recommend the Kudu lodge accommodation in Karatu which is very high quality. The Halisi Tented Camp in Serengeti is well located in Seronera to watch the amazing quantity of wildlife.
The safari car was very good (Toyota Landcruiser with top up roof and 6 seats), the perfect car to spot all the wildlife, of which there is plenty ☺

Wonderful experience
Everything was perfect and above the expectation. Professionalism, availability and value for money: Savannah Explorer gave us a great Tanzanian Experience. Safari tour was perfectly arranged, from lodges and camps to transfers, our Safari guide Moses was very kind and professional. If you are looking for a small, smart and serious tour operator they are definitely the right choice.

Excellent safari!
We had an excellent 7 day safari with Peter as our guide. We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Could have skipped Lake Nakuru. Peter was an excellent guide who listened to our needs and was also great at finding animals. We saw so much action with animals in our only 2 full days in the Masai Mara. We had really good cooks while at camp. The elephants at Amboseli and views of Kilimanjaro were worth the long trip there. The safari price was really reasonable for what we got.

City to Safari: Adventure in South Africa
It started in Cape Town, segued to the Garden Route, and culminated at Kariega Private Game Reserve. Over the course of nine days, we experienced incredible cuisine, delightful sites, and The Big Five (well, actually, just The Big Four--still need to return to spot the Wily Leopard!). We had a lot of leeway in the actual daily activities, but the accommodations and transport arranged by Giltedge (Southern African Travel) were top-notch. Each hotel was more amazing than the last. The luxury safari tents at Kariega, in particular, were utterly beyond our wildest expectations. Thank you, SA Travel, for putting the framework in place for our amazing adventure!

The perfect Safari
Just fantastic, amazing, exeptional or how ever you want to name it....my 6-day-Safari was memorable!!! From beginning (first contact, correspondance, pre-Safari briefing) to the end it was really professionally organized. Andrew, my driver and guide with over 16 years of experience, spotted everything and was the best example of a Tanzanian welcoming, charming and helpful person. His binom and chef named Jumah surprised me everyday with his delocious meals that I will never forget. My conclusion: I really recommend African Budget Safari, for single travelers (as myself), families or groups....for sure you will spend the time of your life!! Thanks again for everything!!
P.S: my only suggestion to African Budget Safaris is to update their homepage as this company is much more valuable as they are shown online.

Truly amazing!
This company lives up to its expectations: Great service, very detail itinerary, no hidden costs and very friendly crew. The guide had a well maintained and comfortable car and more important, he has a very keen eye to spot the animals. We were always the first to arrive where other guides just drove on (lions, cheetahs).
Other tourists complained about extra costs (fuel or park fees), this company is all-inn (well, obviously not the drinks at the bar), so prices might seem a bit steep but they aren't! I can recommend this company to anyone.

Uganda & Rwanda
This was the second time we visited Uganda.
Both journeys we were with Speke Uganda Holidays. Great!
Our trip started with Kidepo. Then Muchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Kisoro and in Ruanda: Volcanoes NP, Lake Kivu and Nyungwe NP.
The tour was amazing. We saw a lot of monkeys (Shimps, Gorillas, Golden Monkeys, …) and a lot of Lions, Buffaloes, Elephants…
We enjoyed not only the sightings, we also had a lot of fun with our guide. So the transfers from one park to the next seems to be quite short because of the entertaining and the beautiful landscape.
Everything was well planned and organized.
In case we will visit Uganda once again, we definitely stay with Speke Uganda Holidays. I think, it is difficult to be better.
