Had an excellent time on our honeymoon!
Spent 4 days with Kanuth, our guides name was Vomi, very friendly and very knowledgeable of the animals and history of the area. Kanuth was good to deal with via email and had all arrangements taken care of. There is really nothing to complain about other than very uncomfortable beds in the lodges.

Best trip yet
I loved everything.
The safari was awesome, there's nothing like coming to the place where NatGeo and co. captures the amazing images we see on TV.
Our guide was very patient with us and stayed longer when we asked to try to see a lioness hunting, he explained lots of thing about the wildlife and Tanzanian culture.
Camping in the wild made the experience much more immersive as we got to see hienas at night in Serengueti and also elephants in Ngorongoro right next to the tents.
Zanzibar was a paradise, the place arranged by It Started In Africa was excellent, very clean and tidy and our balcony was right in front of the pool and sea.
I really can't think of anyway it could have been better, definitely recommend this company if you want to enjoy a great experience, or should I say, THE experience.

Lemosho rout 8 days and 2 days Safari
Helou,
we did 8 days Lemosho route climb to Kili and 2 days Safari. We were a group of 5. I can say Transkibo has best rate price/performance. We communicated via email, we received every answer, we asked for. They took care of everithing from beginnig to the end. Guides Bariki and Alex are very professional, both have very good english and wide knowlidge about Kilimajaro. Equipment was in a good shape. The best part was food. Their Cook Solomon was a wizard. One of us was vegetarian, no problem for him. We had a weak diarrhea, again no problem for him. He prepared two different dishes. Honestly I can reccomend Transkibo to everybody.

Fantastic trip
This safari was on my bucket list so I had dreamed about it a great deal. It met all my hopes and more. Our driver/guide Roddrick was awesome. He worked hard with other drivers to give my daughter and me an animal filled adventure. He treated us kindly and respectfully at all times. The food and accommodations were great. We especially enjoyed the tent camp, Kati Kati in the Serengeti. Everyone involved did their very best to give us a wonderful adventure. We always felt safe and even coddled. I could not have enjoyed my experience more.

A trip of a lifetime and Safari Big 5 made it a great experience.
Everything went very smoothly with Safari Big 5, from our initial contact to our departure at the airport. The price was very reasonable, and if you do any comparison shopping, you will agree. We booked a 6 day, 5 night, tour that included one day in Tarangire National Park, two days in the Serengeti, one day in Ngorongoro Crater, and one day at Lake Manyara. Each day was extraordinary. Our guide, Rashidi, was knowledgeable and flexible to our preferences, such as what time we left in the morning and what time we did our game drives. We stayed in two different lodges and tents in the Serengeti. They were all quite different, but clean, very welcoming, and well run. We also booked a hot air balloon ride that was not to be missed. The cost of balloon trips is always a bit staggering, but this one included a champagne breakfast on the Serengeti, not many people can attest to having done that! You can pay a LOT more for safaris, but we noticed they were doing the same things we were. Their accommodations may have been a bit nicer, but we didn't go on a safari to be pampered. You can also pay a bit less, but those people were riding around in big trucks that had been turned into buses. We had a private vehicle and a guide/driver all to ourselves. I would say that Safari Big 5 was a great value for the money.

Total immersion with animals with a local company that cares
The total experience was excellent. It is a family-owned company that will be flexible to what you want to see and allow you time to photograph the animals. They improved the schedule according to migration patterns and rain patterns day by day. the accomodations were excellent. We especially enjoyed the tents in the wilderness areas. The food preparation in the wilderness tents was outstanding. Service was exceptional.
The guides were extremely gifted in spotting animals and in their knowledge of animal behavior. The tour exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this company and its tours.

Excellent holidays in Mara Serena.
I would highly recommend Magical retreats and adventures tours. We had an excellent time in Masai Mara in
Mara Serena lodge. The customer service of the tour operator was very professional. They even called us to ask if we like our stay in the lodge and reminded us to ask for the lunch boxes on the day of departure.
