The most amazing experience in my life!
Mirisho Expedition Safaris was an outstanding and dependable company. The safari excursions were meticulously organized, with punctuality being a high point of their service. Each moment was filled with unforgettable experiences, thanks to their thoughtful planning. Moreover, our guide was not only exceptionally caring but also possessed an impressive wealth of knowledge, making our journey all the more enriching. Their knack for spotting animals seemed effortless and ensuring the smooth flow of our trip was truly remarkable. The picnic lunches were a delightful highlight, offering not only convenience but also delectable flavors. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Mirisho Expedition Safaris for an unparalleled safari adventure.

Great value for money, quick and flexible communication
We chose this company because of the low price, fast and detailed communication. And we were not disappointed. We had a wonderful driver/guide Robie who became a friend over the 6 days of the safari.He was a great driver and we were always first in the games.Although the car was old, it was clean. We always had enough water in the car. Robie solved all technical problems quickly and with a smile. The accommodation exceeded expectations, especially in the Masai Mara. A suggestion for improvement would be to have at least 1 pair of binoculars in the car. I recommend asking before the safari what the car will be, it is always better to choose a 4x4 jeep, because it will pass more easily on difficult roads, and bigger windows.

Professionally executed day trip, great guide/driver
We were picked up early morning in the 4x4 Safari jeep on time from our hotel in Dar es Salaam and given a booklet explaining the trip.
Philipe our driver and guide, who spoke perfect English, also explained the journey and what to expect. One of which was the charging facility & the fridge full of water & soft drinks available to us.
We drove for a couple of hours & had a break at a service station for coffee & pastries.
All through the journey Phillipe shared information and facts with us about places, animals and the flora and fauna around us.
We arrived about 10am and after a quick natural break started the drive around the Mikumi National park.
Over the course of the day we saw several dazzles of zebras, towers of giraffes, herds of impalas & elephants, monitor lizards, various birds & the snuffling and eyes of hippos cooling off.
We had access to binoculars & various animal books too, so were able to spot & read about all sorts.
The highlight of the day was seeing a pride of lions who had just caught their ‘meal’! We were so lucky to be able to witness that!
We had a good hot buffet lunch which was included and there was plenty of choice for all.
The drive back was broken up with a stop to try some fresh pineapple & again at the service station before arriving back at our hotel in the evening. A long day but well worth it!
Very well executed trip, communication beforehand via email/whatsapp was easy and we are so grateful to have chosen to book this through Allen & Wild Reality Safaris & have had such a knowledgeable & safe guide/driver in Phillipe!
Definitely recommend!!

Fantastic seamless high quality experience
We had an amazing experience with James and Twinkle Stars. We booked very late due to a change in schedule and they were able to get everything lined up quickly and professionally. Our guides were amazing, and clearly more experienced than many others we encountered. The price was excellent for a high quality safari- we would book again in a heartbeat- I hope we get the opportunity to visit again!

Incredible Safari Experience with a reliable tour operator.
I booked a 5 day 4 night budget safari with Topy Tours because the price was very competitive when compared to other operators. The value we got for our money was quite simply outstanding.
Jackson was reliable and responsive before and after I made my booking and throughout our safari. Always answering any questions I had promptly via email and WhatsApp. He delivered on everything that was promised.
We had an amazing experience seeing all of the big 5, and even witnessing a young lioness hunt and kill an Impala. A very special and lucky experience. Although probably not so much for the Impala.
We also saw 8 Rhino in the Ngorongoro crater in half a day. The wildlife we saw was quite simply breathtaking and beyond my wildest dreams of what a safari would be like.
Our guides were friendly and knowledgable especially Macha who always got our vehicle in prime positions. It was his expertise that got us to see the Lion hunt up close and personal.
The food provided was very good (Chef Simba was a brilliant cook at the campsites) and we even had a can of beer with lunch and a bottle of surprisingly decent wine with dinner. All included in the price.
The lodge accomodation provided for 2 nights of our trip was what you would expect for a budget safari, but the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. We were also very well fed at breakfast and dinner at the lodge. I loved camping under the stars in the Serengeti and on the edge of the Ngorongoro crater. An experience I will never forget.
Our safari also included transfers from the airport and 1 nights accomodation before our safari started and 1 nights accomodation after the safari ended and a transfer to the airport for our flight to Zanzibar.
In summary I can highly recommend Topy Tours. Reliable, organised and friendly.

Jamal provided a very personalized safari adventure ensuring we experienced the best of Uganda
Jamal was an exceptional guide and from the moment he picked us up at the airport, he made us feel welcomed. It was a joy to get to know him over our 10 day tour and by the end of our safari Jamal felt like family! This was our first trip to Africa and Jamal made sure our experience in Uganda was one to remember. Jamal immersed us in the local traditions, city highlights, local foods, local shops/markets, and wildlife safaris. We always felt we were in good hands and even when we had truck trouble, or if we came across others having difficulty with their vehicles, Jamal was able to quickly identify the problem and lend a helping hand to get the adventure back on track again. Jamal even customized the tour on the fly to be sure our Uganda experience was complete.
Jamal was a great guide, who could make quick decisions and changes seamlessly to ensure the safari runs smoothly. I would recommend his company for your next Uganda adventure.

Exquisite and very accommodating
Day Safari to Mikumi from Zanzibar:
Very well organized Safari Experience !
Everything went well. We were picked up at 7am, north of the island, received information via WhatsApp the day before. The plane was already getting on in years, but technically everything was ok! 45 min flight, landing directly in Mikumi National Park on a gravel runway. Then immediately went on a game drive in the 8-seater! Saw a lot of animals, several lions a few meters next to the cruiser, zebras, elephants, wild boars, antelopes, water buffalo, hippos. In between, lunch at a picnic area, rice, salad, juices, bananas, all good! Flight left 1 hour later, 5pm, so our game drive lasted 1 hour longer! Everything was perfect!!

The perfect safari
Amazing company with such attention to detail. Booking a safari was very confusing but Elvis was so accommodating and calm. I wasn’t sure what to expect and if all my details would be correct on arrival but from the moment we landed on the airstrip we were taken care of by Isac . We were taken immediately on a game drive and we saw most animals within 3 hours including Elephants, Giraffe, lions, zebra, Hyena and many more smaller species. We didn’t see them from a distance they were up very close to the car. The driver was informative and thrilling. The lunch was delicious and the picnic spot idillic. We were taken to our lodge which was the Serengeti safari lodge. This was very basic. A little too basic for me but a good experience and spectacular views. The people were friendly and the food was delicious. We were only there one night before we moved to the Melia hotel. This was more expensive but worth every penny. Simply amazing hotel, secluded and spectacular. The game drive you could pick the hours you wanted to do and our guide Isac was such a good spotter we only needed to drive from 8am until 3pm, it was enough we saw everything except Rhino on our trip. I don’t mean one elephant a day either. On the last day I counted near to 100 elephants. It’s a once in a lifetime experience and Le Kobe Adventures & Safaris company perfectly organized and extremely efficient. The jeeps were comfortable and spacious with open tops. I actually cried leaving the Serengeti it really did capture my heart. It is so natural and the guides are very respectful of the animals.
Heaven on Earth!

Impressive Safari Adventure with Heavenly Laugh Tours.
A decision, which turned out better than we could ever imagine, was to book a 3-day safari with Heavenly Laugh Adventures. From planning to be fully immersed, everything was exactly as we had hoped. My friend and I would highly recommend this safari if you want a true wilderness experience that exceeds your expectations. Along with the delectable food, the whole experience was a source of great comfort for the passengers, as it was made sure that the food served was not only delicious but also fresh and hygienic. The guide, Gideon Lucas, was not only professional, but also possessed a great lot of knowledge and expertise. All these facts resulted in an unforgettable journey. The communication with the team was prompt, efficient and uncomplicated so that we could overlook their work throughout the project planning process. There was nothing special but it satisfied because everything on the premises met our requirements perfectly. The safari was so amazing that we ended up extending the voyager for few more days in Zanzibar and, as usual, the Heavenly Laugh Adventures team did not disappoint and added another flavor to our life. Altogether, there was not a single chokehold in all the plan’s execution, hence a wholly unforgettable one. Highly recommended!
