Great 6 day safari! Patient guide and cook, who did everything to give us a good time!
Communication easy by email or whatsapp. Glood price comparing to others. Nice accomodation. The guide/driver let us decide how we would like to do our safari. We saw the 'big five'!

Fantastic safari - but make sure they come and pick you up!
The safari was absolutely fantastic, incredible experience.
Only one remark: they mentioned several times they would come and pick us up at the airport and never showed up. Only after several non replied calls they asked us to take a taxi and meet them in the office. Not ideal if coming from a long flight with other arrangements!

safari at the Kenyan Riftvalley
My experience with Alliance destinations at the Kenyan Riftvalley is one of my favorite experiences . Right from proper selection of food and accommodation facilities to transport and exciting excursion sites at Hells gate National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park and Lake Baringo. It was quite an awesome experience that anyone would wish to give a shot. What impressed me most is the enormous experience , proper organisation and courteous service offered by the alliance Destinations personnel. In spite of the short time of my Safari, I really enjoyed myself and I would readily consider Alliance destinations for future safari's as well as recommending anyone for an exciting adventure with you. Keep up the good Service

A well planned and diverse experience touching all aspects of Tanzanian life
The tour was well managed with great drivers who were always friendly and well informed. The itinerary was great, including a wide variety of wildlife in the parks and a very moving experience visiting markets and school in Karatu Village. The only shortcomings were the rather hurried drive through Lake Manyara Park after the stop at the hot springs, and the long drive to and from the Oldapi Gorge for quite a short stay. But these were minor problems and the whole experience was very enjoyable. The accomocations were excellent in all cases as were the vehicles.

wonderful Safari experiences --- excellent accommodation
Initially when i contacted Afritrip Group, only VERY expensive lodges were suggested. through more communication i was able to get information on lodges in the price range i was willing to pay. Follow-up communication was difficult because of the departure of the agent with whom i originally dealt, but this was cleared up later and all our arrangements went well. we stayed at the Waterside Lodge/ Thornybush Game Reserve and it couldn't have been better. Wonderful, courteous and friendly staff and great safari experiences.

We had a very nice vehicle, careful and knowledgeable driver and quality accomodations.
Our drivers were always ready for us at the beginning of the day. The box lunches were very tasty and kept cold. We always had cold water. We saw lots of animals while on safari.

Our decision was best to select a local company and specially Hello Tanzania.
Even this was my second trip to Tanzania, I prefer to work with a local company and I see now how I was right for this decision. Mwajabu Sultan from Hello Tanzania was so much helpful and she did her best which was far better than I expected. I highly suggest to use their services and leave yourself at their hands for a good Tanzania experience.

Efficient Quick and great value
Joanne Sachs and her staff at Safari Trails was just great. She put together a great safari tour of Zimbabwe and Botswana. Answered all our questions very promptly. Everything was on time. Kuhulu Ivory Lodge was awesome. Elephants drinking water from our pool, lions mating not 100 meters from the lodge.... awesome. This family owned lodge is a Gem. Food drinks rooms staff .... everything was perfect. Had a great game drive in Hwange National park. Excellent lunch. Moved onto Cresta spray view hotel in Victoria Falls. An excellent hotel.... great staff food rooms service just perfect. Victoria falls tour was great and the Zambezi river cruise was awesome. Please visit Boma restaurant for a buffet of Crocodile to warthog to you name it... any kind of bush meat. Land transfer to Chobe Elephant Camp was very comfortable. But the only good thing about that lodge was the game drives with MR. Innocent. Food was average, staff uncaring. Electricity off and on. We were given the most distant rooms even though there was only one more room occupied. Had to walk through Elephant infested forest to the rooms. That was a scary walk of about 300 meters. Electric fence was not working. Basically a terrible place. Chobe river cruise was perfect. I recommend Joanne Sachs and Safari Specialists absolutely. She is great.

8 day luxury safari
A safari which will live long in the memory. Chimps at Kibale were great - suggest you pay extra for habituation walk. need to start early at Swamp Walk (9a.m.) if you are to get to QENP for game drive. Saw tree climbing lions at Ishsha and gorillas at Bwindi were wonderful with one even visiting us at our verandah in Bwindi Lodge!. Over 70 bird species seen in total. Accommodation first class. Driver could have been a bit more enthusiastic but he was very careful and safe on the roads and 4WD vehicle very comfortable for two. Expensive but worth it!
