I would recommend this company to anyone
The tour itself was good to very good.
We had a very good experienced driver, he always gave tips for our safety.
100USD per day and person and all inclusive is not too much.
The service was not worse than expected.
You have to add about 15USD on average for some events.
We were very satisfied. It is recommended.

The best of Amboseli!!
We booked our safari with Safari Update Travels and we had no regrets whatsoever because everything went according to our expectations. Our driver John did an excellent job guiding us through the whole safari. The entire safari was very tiresome but quite satisfying. John provided a lot of detailed information about the animals and was more than willing to answer our questions. Unfortunately, the days were cloudy so we were not able to see Mt. Kilimanjaro, but we were fortunate enough to see several animals, thanks to John. It was an excellent 3 days trip to Amboseli.

great experience of a great country
Okay, this is Africa…and that means a certain level of discomfort, and some uncertainty, is a given. Dust, bad roads, bland food, bottled water only. Driving times are always underestimated. That said, Uganda is beautiful. The wildlife and birds are amazing. Epic has great guides who do their best to accommodate the needs and wishes of their guests, and who know the country and wildlife well. At the most popular locations (Gorillas, chimps, etc.) you are in the hands of local guides and rangers who are also first rate. Overall an excellent and authentic African and Ugandan experience! Recommended.

Great experience! Very well organised
Very good communication prior the trip started.
Helpful advices and organisation.
In my itinerary there was Tarangire Park, Serengeti Park, Ngorongoro Crater. Each park was unique and watching the wildlife was an incredible experience. We have visited also Maasai Village and took a flight in a hot air Balloon above Serengeti park. Later we flu to Zanzibar to discover Stone Town and Prison Island, spending last days relaxing by the beach.
All was very well organised, the guides, food, transportation and hotels.
I’m very happy I choose this company. They made my trip an unforgettable experience!
Thank you :))

Jessica’s knowledge, passion and patience helped provide us a Tanzania Trip of a Lifetime!
Dancing Zebra Safari surpassed our expectations and provided an amazing experience which we will never forget. We began working with Jessica in 2019 to assist us with booking the right locations and route for our adventure through the Serengeti. She came up with an itinerary that would provide us variety, ample wildlife and the Great Migration. Life and the pandemic delayed our trip but, Jessica hung in there with us through re-bookings etc. and we were finally able to travel this year.
Jessica handled all bookings for our 12-Day trip, from detailed daily travel book, visa information, Lodges, in-country transfers, drivers and anything we needed during our stay. I felt we received great advice, recommendations, professionalism and superior service. Communication was exceptional and timely, accommodating with changes and happy to assist in a genuine way. She even arranged a private romantic congratulations dinner for us as we just got engaged to be married. We felt very well taken care of!
We spent time in Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Eastern and Northern Serengeti National Park. Our Dancing Zebra driver, Edson, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the areas and wildlife. He was dedicated to finding every animal we wanted to see and committed to providing opportunities to position us just right for a great experience. He did his absolute best to ensure we saw the Big 5, found cheetahs, lion cubs, and many more. Not only were we lucky enough to witness the migration, we saw 5 Wildebeest crossings complete with Crocodiles!
The accommodations Jessica selected for us were simply amazing, with views, plunge pools, tasty food, great wine, wonderful staff and excellent service. The Lodges and Camps were perfectly positioned for what we wanted to accomplish and absolutely incredible. We could not have asked for anything better.
We had a fantastic trip, I would not change a thing and we are looking forward to going back some day with family. I highly recommend going to Tanzania and working with Jessica at Dancing Zebra Safari for your incredibly well-planned adventure. She is the best!

Wonderful safari to Masai Mara!
This safari was one to remember. I made arrangements to visit Masai Mara during my vacation and Safari Update Travels made it possible. I arrived in the Mara in the afternoon hours and then set out straight for the afternoon drive. It was quite refreshing. The camp I stayed at was very accomodating and cosy, to top it up it had bonfires to keep us warm in the cold nights, great food and hot water. I also visited the local Masai village which was nearby so I was able to interact with many members of the community. The best part of the trip by far was our tour guide John. Besides being witty and having a deep sense of humour John is one of the kindest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He went beyond his means to take care of us, and make our trip memorable. Will definitely be back for another tour with Safari Update Travels in the future.

Excellent in Every Way
First and foremost, let it be known that I worked with two other safari companies while visiting Kenya, and I found them overcrowded or uncoordinated, or both. One company completely forgot that I even had a safari booked at all and was scrambling to find a driver the morning of the safari at 6am. It was bad.
Enter African Mosaic: a breath of fresh air. Max coordinated the safaris perfectly and was very communicative and transparent about costs, stays…everything. The lodging itself was gorgeous and comfortable. My driver and guide, Mr. Omar, was fantastic—kind, knowledgeable about the animals, punctual to the MINUTE, and he will even teach you Swahili phrases if you’re interested! The level of professionalism from African Mosaic is important in any international trip, but especially as a solo female traveler. For that reason, I cannot thank African Mosaic enough for concluding my Kenyan adventure in a wonderful way.

Superbly organised, left us nothing to worry about and exceeded our expectations
We went on the Sumburu five and the big five trip. We've never been on safari before and were super excited if not slightly nervous having never been to Africa before. We needn't have worried we had a superb driver and guide , Garoua (Peter), he looked after us superbly well, we new exactly what we were doing every day , and he was happy to adapt the plans for the day. The whole safari was very varied with something new every day. There were some longish travelling days but that gave you the chance to see the sights of Kenya. Some of the highlights for us were the lion tracking, night drive, the trip to see the migration and finally spotting a leopard on our last day (thanks mainly to the perseverance of Garoua). The accommodation and food were of a good standard and the level of service from the Kenyan people was excellent. I thought the trip was extremely good value for money . I would highly recommend Tanstrek and when we return in a few years we'll definitely be using them again
