Absolutely gorgeous and wild!
We had an amazing 6 day safari with Seven By Far. Booking was easy and they accommodated all our wishes without a problem. Our guide Evan was amazing in spotting animals. He was knowledgeable and very experienced. We got to see so many animals including the Big 5, wildebeests crossing the Meru river, ostriches mating, hippos on land and in the water, a lion in the tree just a few meters from our vehicle. Unbelievable experience! Thanks so much!

Gorillas, Mountains and even more
What should I say?
We had an incredible experience together with Ronald to discover the amazing surroundings of Uganda.
From the very beginning of our planning process I knew that we will do our trip with the right guy!
Ronald was very responsive in communication and considered in detail all desires of our adventures. Tailormade … to bring it on the point
On site we met a humorous guy, very obliging and friendly who made the trip even more worth it!
We can recommend Kajie Safaris without any restrictions.
Stay as you are!
Gyebale Ronald!

We had the most amazing experience, prompt replies, detailed descriptions of animals, friendly staff
We loved our 10 day safari starting in Kenya to Tanzania. Patrick our guide was amazing, he was so friendly and accommodating, any questions we had about the animals or wildlife he knew all the information. The staff met us on the first day and any queries we had they messaged back in minutes. Crossing the border was super easy and they had a staff member waiting for us. Everything on the intinerary was 100% what we got. I highly recommend this tour and the tour guide Patrick!

Amazing experience
I made a temporary decision to go to Tanzania to see animals, but due to my lack of experience, I searched for a travel agency for a long time. In the end, I chose this not very large company (because I think it would be more expensive for a large company). The entire itinerary was private, with only the two of us on board. The hotel was also lodge, and the guide was excellent and very qualified. I suggest that you make an appointment for the itinerary earlier, and it would be more cost-effective to go and see animals from February to March!

A good preparation and a good communication resulted in a great trip!
Our safari adventure started with planning our trip. Emma provided us with a lot of information and great options to choose from. We were counting the days and finally the date of departure arrived. A few days before that departure, we received the last travel information from Emma. That was nice, it helped with our preparations in these last days.
At Kilimanjaro Airport we met with Sele, our guide. He brought us safely to our hotel.
The next morning we started our safari and Sele was a great guide. He told us many things, spotted beautiful animals and was a great driver.
During our trip we also had a cultural day planned, we learned a lot about the Tanzanian culture and habits.
We stayed at some beautiful tented camps, for example Migombani Camp, which has a beautiful view on Lake Manyara. We also stayed at Osupuko Lodges, located on the Serengeti. A very special place to stay and showering with the bucket shower was a great experience.
During our trip Sele showed us Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. We learned so many things about the animals that lives here. It was a special moment when we (well, Sele did) found a large lion-family. No other cars around us, in silence we admired the beautiful animals.
We just had a great trip, a beautiful adventure. We (a family of five, with children in the age of 17, 15 and 11) will never forget this, with many thanks to Emma and Sele.

DUBU Adventures are extremely knowledgeable and professional
I recently had the pleasure to have a safari tour with Dubu Adventures from Dar es salaam to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Chemka Hot Spring and Mountain Kilimanjaro Materuni waterfall. I couldn’t be happier than what we had with my family on that trip with DUBU Adventures. They have Outstanding customer service at reasonable prices, easy to book hotels according to my budget. Great deals, and honest services. Highly recommended it to everyone. Abdilrazak was extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient as we navigated to all these amazing places. They took the time with us to understand our needs and preferences and found us perfect areas & parks to visit. I highly recommend DUBU Adventures to anyone looking to visit Tanzania's Heritage & historical sites.

African Big Cats made our Safari Experience Exceed our Expectations!
From the very first enquiry with African Big Cats, we knew we had chosen the best! Throughout the planning, they responded promptly and efficiently to our enquires and requests for information. We booked the 5 day/4 night luxury private safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara) and it was perfect. We started our Tanzanian adventure in Moshi. Emmanuel met us there the day before to give us our briefing and our guide Kanti picked us up to begin our adventure the next morning. Our vehicle was a comfy and well equipped Land Cruiser.
Huge kudos to our guide Kanti, he was so incredibly knowledgeable about all the wildlife, the birds, the landscape…we learned so much from him. I don’t know how he was able to spot things of interest so quickly and often from a distance! He made sure we had an opportunity to stop whenever we wanted to for photos etc. It was clear that Kanti’s goal was to make our safari experience the best and he most certainly achieved that. He was funny and kind and it was a joy to travel with him.
All of the accommodations arranged by Emmanuel and staff were first rate! The staff at all the lodges were kind and helpful, the accommodations exceeded our expectations, the meals were five star + (out of five!)
We began our safari with Tarangire National Park and it was our favourite. We saw soooo many animals. Zebra, elephant, lions, hippos, giraffe, wildebeest and close up! The landscape of the park is varied and beautiful. Our first night was at the Escarpment Luxury Lodge, wow. Gorgeous huge bungalow with our own little patio from which we watched a family of baboons stroll by. The best dinner ever sitting outside overlooking the landscape as the sun set. Next day we were off to the Serengeti…a long drive but so much to see as the view changed. We spent two nights at the Serengeti Mbalimbali Soroi which was magnificent (sorry, loads of superlatives but they are well deserved). After a long day in the land cruiser it was lovely to return to our rooms and have an outdoor shower (so cool!) and then sit out either on our own balcony or on the lodges’ huge patio and watch the amazing sunset. Many thanks to Emmanuel at African Big Cats and the Soroi for arranging for/accommodating a last minute request regarding our booking there. Our days in the Serengeti were all that we had hoped for with so many animals in their natural environment. Then we were off to the Ngorongoro crater which is such an amazing site…a very different landscape from the Serengeti, lush and lots of animals in large groups by the water. It’s where we saw our first rhino (at a distance). Kanti made sure to get us in the best spot to watch the rhino through our binoculars. Our last night was at the Ngorongoro Retreat Lodge…I think our favourite lodge because we were able to walk around their beautiful grounds, something you can’t safely do elsewhere due to the other lodges’ more remote locations. Again, the staff and food were fabulous. Last day was Lake Manyara which was unique but there were fewer animals out and about and we had been so spoiled with the sights on the first four days. Then to Arusha to end our safari at the Cultural Heritage Centre. This place is a shopping experience and museum…our recommendation for the best opportunity to buy your gifts/memories. Beautiful craftsmanship and very good prices. We met with Emmanuel as he wanted to get feedback about our experiences (all 100% plus) and then Kanti took us to the airport for our flight to Zanzibar.
In summary, the safari exceeded our expectations. It was well worth the cost. It was apparent from the very beginning that African Big Cats is dedicated to ensuring we had the best experience, and they did.
Tips for travellers. Bring comfy clothing for hot weather and remember it’s quite cool overnight and in the morning. African big cats provides a list of items to bring with you…they have covered it all. There was a pair of binoculars provided but I was happy that I had brought along my own small ones so we could both watch the goings on. The people of Tanzania are some of the most kind and helpful people we have met in our travels. They made us feel so welcome.
Please don’t hesitate to contact African Big Cats to help you achieve the experience of a lifetime. Thanks to Kanti, Emmanuel and Naomi!

Thanks
I had a valuable experience. We stayed in Masai Mara for 5 days and 4 nights.
The first driver had a lot of trouble and was the worst, but the second driver gave us the best service.
If I have another chance, I would like to visit the Masai Mara.
