Exhilarating and adventurous safari with great lodges in the middle of the wilderness.
Our guide, David, was the most friendly guide we have ever had in any of our trips. He really got along well with the family and was able to provide us with information and his experiences on every stage of the trip. With his help, we were able to see the infamous Big 5 and many more animals. The lodges were spectacular and well located. The only drawback was the initial hotel stay at Arusha Inn which leaves a poor impression and at times, the sub-par safari car which needed servicing often.

Great safari
We booked a short safaritrip with Mwema Safaris for our family. We were very satisfied. Communication was fast and easy, everything was very clear in the tour description, the price was fair and the safari in Amboseli was great.

Good Tour but Payment must be changed
Did Mokoro Cruise and Inner Delta Cruise. Was excited and the Guides have been very friendly and always on time. But on both days we startet not as requested with a coffee and a sandwich after reaching the Starting Point! there was lunch with the coffee and sandwiches and the lunch bag. I did prefer a coffee first in the morning and not at noon! That could be do better. And the payment from oversea is terrible, because cant pay by Paypal or Credit Card. A bank Transfer from Europe costs a lot of money! Did that to secure the Bookings, The rest I payed in Cas!! So you neehd Cash Dollars a lots during the whole tour! That must be better! Anyway - the Tours ve been very good,. Thanks

An unforgettable experience!
I travelled to Uganda with my bestie last month, Fred from East African Jungle Safaris had come highly recommended by another friend of ours (he did he same tour last year). Right from the start Fred was helpful and super flexible, he also kept us updated on our accommodation arrangements and gorilla permits along the way. Eddie and Tom picked us up at Entebbe International Airport and drove us to our accommodation in Kampala. The next day Tom picked us up and we set off early to start the long drive to Kisoro, but not before we stopped for snacks. The drive was long (10+ hours including stops) and if I had my time again I would fly to Kigali instead. The car was modern and safe and Tom was a good driver but we were exhausted after the trip. We stayed at Tourland Cottages which was good by African standards. We had a clean bed and warm water, also the staff were really lovely and bent over backwards for us. I would say that it's still too far from Bwindi National Park, it took us well over an hour to get to the park the next day.
The gorilla trek was the most incredible experience of my life. Tom handed us over to the guides and we trekked for 2 hours before we found a group of 10 gorillas, with two adorable babies. We stayed with them for 1 hour before heading back. The hike was physically hard, the mountain is very steep and let's face it, I was out of shape! But all in all, nothing can compare.
Unfortunately Tom fell sick the next day so he had to arrange for a tour company in Rwanda to take over. At the border crossing Tom handed us over to Vincent from Nziza Safaris Rwanda (nzizatourstravel.com). Again another modern and safe car and Vincent was absolutely lovely. We spent the day in Kigali before Vincent dropped us at the airport for our flight to Kenya.
All in all it was a fantastic 3 days and I would recommend this tour to anyone! I can't wait to go back.

Amazing experience in Tanzania
Amazing journey. The staff and employers from Tanzania Bush to Beach Safaris are very professional, really know what to show to give their guests an unique journey trough Tanzania, that is both very educational and great fun.
Had a very good time.

A great experience!
Our safari experience was absolutely great! The email communication with Alex was very professional (both through email & whatsapp). He was very flexible and picked us up from the Airport at 3am! He also got us a honeymoon dinner on our last night in Arusha. Overall, he made us feel the experience was definitely worthy!
Allen, our driver and guide was very nice to us (and he even spoke a little bit of Spanish, which was definitely unusual to see!). He is a very experienced driver and guide, has a lot of knowledge about the animals and the parks. And, he definitely has the best eyes to spot animals (no matter how far they are). We managed to see the big 5 and had some amazing experiences (close to elephants, a cheetah, lions, etc). Absolutely magical!
Overall, everything was absolutely great and the only tiny downside is that we hardly felt we were in our honeymoon. The places where we stayed overnight were all great (Alex made magnificent choices for us!), but almost none of them treated us in a special way. We just felt we were doing a great trip, but not a honeymoon trip (except on a couple occasions, including the last night in Arusha that Alex took great care of).
P.S.: If you are planning to go to Tanzania in June, beware of the weather! It is colder than you might expect, make sure you bring warm clothes with you!

Great driver to see many animals, basic accommodation and meals
Communication was good, except for the first lunch. We had a special departure from our city, not Nairobi, which leaded to sweet snacks and bread only to be bought for lunch. We would have preferred to prepare ourself a real picnic if we were warned before.
Safari was great, we saw so many animals thanks to the driver!
Accomodation was very basic, we had single beds even if we requested before double bed and the camp was almost empty. They were rushing us to eat a basic dinner with self service, in an area without enough light.
In summary, Great driver to see many animals, basic accommodation and meals
