Perfect! It was fantastic!
I enjoyed Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive perfectly for 3 days and 2 nights. Thank you to Grayson, the driver who worked hard for the safe trip, Miriam, the chef who prepared the dish with great care. I'd like to use it again.

Gerald is a well informed , Hospitable and experienced Person
My First Safari with Shalev Tours and Safaris was such a wonderful and unforgatable experience. Straight from the time I arrived at Kilimanjaro international Airport until i left the Country. The Team at Shalev Tours and Safaris were friendly and very helpful in regards to my stay . They were also very punctual interms of visiting the different National Parks, a well laid out a good plan for each visit. I had the pleasure of visiting 3 National Parks while with them ; Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and L. Manyara National Park and each experience was nothing Short of amazing.
I Would definately recommend using there Services to anyone wishing to have an unforgatble Safari Experience

Awesome safari experience
We had a great time with our guide Regan a professional tour guide we appriciate him. Though the chance of seeing all the Big 5 through this trip is likely at 50/50, but his effort of finding them is always 100%. So thankfully, we saw all the big 5, including two black rhinos, plus several times of legions of wildebeest crossing over Mara River.
The operator's response to my initial inquiry for a customized safari is swift and managed to secure one of the lodges that was in high demand but he manage that and everything went well. We recommend Tanzania joyous time expeditions to be the best tour operator.

Incredible Experience
We had the most fantastic Uganda trip. Our guide was an absolute highlight. He was professional, patient, funny, and had so much knowledge of Uganda. He answered every single one of our many many questions about his country. The tour was perfect, he knew all the right spots to visit and eat and get photos and see all the animals. We really could not fault our guide at all. The tour itself was the perfect way to see Uganda - hitting all the best spots. The chimpanzee and gorilla treks were an absolute highlight, and the river cruise was also unforgettable. If you are travelling to Uganda, a trip with this company is a must-do. There are so many companies out there and it's so hard to know what to pick, but you absolutely won't regret booking with Eizoba.

Oustanding safari through Discover Africa Safaris
I had an unforgettable safari organized through Discover Africa Safaris in September. I worked closely with Chrizaan Troch who was just outstanding. She was very attuned to my interests and importantly, my budget. She provided several options and gave objective information on each. At every step of the planning, she was available. I received regular updates, and as the time the safari neared, gave me a lot of important information, including sharing her cell phone should I need assistance. The safari was beyond what I even dreamed off. The accomodations, lodging, staff, etc. were amazing, as was the incredible wildlife I witnessed. I highly recommend Discover Africa Safaris. You won't be disappointed.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience
My wife and I went on a five-day safari with Destiny Explorers in late October, and it was truly unforgettable! The landscapes were beyond words, from the Serengeti's vast plains to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. We were thrilled to see all the "Big Five." Our guide, David, was friendly and knowledgeable, making every game drive exciting and informative. The company manager, Issa, helped us plan an itinerary with perfectly suited accommodations. Each lodge was comfortable and close to nature, blending comfort with authenticity. The food was delicious and adapted to our dietary needs, a thoughtful touch. We highly recommend Destiny Explorers for exploring Tanzania's remarkable wildlife and scenery!

Tanzania - Kilimanjaro & Safari Magic make it Trip of a Lifetime
I travelled to Tanzania to fulfill a wish to climb Mt Kilimanjaro and then see the African wildlife that I had dreamed about since childhood. I can only say that the trip exceeded my wildest expectations. The people, wilderness and incredible wildlife made it a trip that will be hard to top. It was amazing! To sit at a breakfast table and watch lionesses stalking a herd of wildebeest just hundreds of metres away was one of the many amazing experiences. We saw all of the big 5 and more. Lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, cheetah, warthogs, zebras- you name it, we saw it.

Zebra and giraffe paradise
I had so much fun and really enjoyed all the animals and birds that Kenya had to offer. Had an amazing tour guide and it was just such a wonderful experience. I would say to go there at least once if you are able to.
Absolutely incredible trip. Stunning landscape, majestic animals, lovely people and vibe.
Kenya is a beautiful country with so much variety. We did a safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nukuru and Amboseli. Each park offered different landscapes and experiences and different animals to spot.
We also visited Diani beach which was true paradise and I can't fault. Stunning white sandy beach on a beautiful turquoise sea. Think Zanzibar but without the pricetag.
October was a great time to visit, we had amazing weather. Dry and really comfortable for the safari and beautiful and warm at the beach. The Masai mara was quite green and we saw a lot of baby animals which was lovely. We also amazingly saw the migration which I thought we were too late to see.
We visited a Masai village on our tour which was fascinating. I believe there are many other tribes and cultures to explore.
The people are absolutely delightful, so friendly and helpful. When you break down on the road for example (I don't think this is uncommon) Hakuna Matata, no worries, strangers will stop and help one another and everything gets sorted.
We never felt unsafe but were mostly in tourist areas. However, as with anywhere, as long as you have your wits about you and are sensible with your belongings it's probably fine.
We visited a children's home one morning which was a great experience to see culture and life outside the tourist spots and support the community. We took notebooks and pens which they love for school and some games and bubbles. A lot of these homes rely on donations so I felt it was very important to visit. Recommend to research and check with your hotels for good ones that don't exploit donations.
Overall I absolutely LOVED Kenya and whilst we said it was a once in a lifetime trip... I will 100% be going back sometime.

African Big Cats Safaris exceeded our expectations
We (2 grandparents & family of 4) booked the 6 days/ 5 nights semi luxury safari ( Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro & Serengeti) tour from the initial enquiry with Justice to organising with Naomi and finally our exceptional tour guide Lavoi we have found this company to be so easy to deal with and very professional.
As for the safaris there aren’t enough superlatives to describe the animals, birds & scenery. The accommodation & meals were great. The friendly hosts at the lodges/ camps were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Our guide Lavoi was fantastic he found the most incredible animals for us including the rare black rhinos at Ngorongoro (from a distance) the lions, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, buffalo, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, elephants, impalas, warthogs, baboons and the list goes on.
Our last day was at Lake Manyara that was the only day where we were limited with sightings unfortunately no pink flamingos (but we did see them at Ngorongoro) we had adapted to seeing animals so often that it seemed a bit flat just to see one lion and some baboons! (How spoilt had we become) The accommodation at Escarpment Luxury Lodge was exceptional even the baboon drinking out of the swimming pool was a sight!
Don’t let travelling to Tanzania with the extra hassle of vaccinations/ malaria meds & visas put you off it is so worth it!
Thank you Big Cats team you’ve made some great memories for us.
