the family goes to Tanzania with Franks help
My husband died in January 2010 and we had been planning a family vacation to Africa .He insisted that we go upon his death so in August 13 of us from age 3 to 70 went to Tanzania. Frank Kilele Savane planned the trip knowing our grief and the specialness of this trip in honor of my late husband . It was thoughtful ,adventurous,comfortable safe and extraordinary. We are an academic family and were so impressed with the quality of nature explanations we heard and with the love of and information about the areas and animals and flora of our guides. The housing was comfortable and the food wonderful.We felt well taken care of.It still is an adventure our family talks about.

Punctual, well organised and welcoming
An efficient and well organised local firm that responded to email and booking queries efficiently and clearly. Booked hotel in Victoria Falls plus activities; guided tour of falls, Zambezi sunset cruise, Livingstone Island lunch and Devil's Pool tour. Newton was a great guide around the falls and all transfers and bookings were executed smoothly and efficiently. I would recommend the firm to others seeking a local firm to organise activities in advance of a holiday.

Best weekend spent with very accommodating hospitality and the scene was spectacular.
Mostly enjoyed the scene of wild beast migration and the rich Masai culture.it was a lifetime experience and highly recommended .
You should definitely make some plans with Bison safaris and you will never be disappointed.

Amazing trip!
I found the agency online and they got back to me in only few hours with all the information. Very profesional since the begining.
The trip was nicely organized, our driver was amazing, great route and loges - the only loge that was okish was in Arusha, but after telling the agency, they found a better one for us.
Highly recomended!

Dry But Beautiful
This reserve abuts Kruger National Park. It's fairly barren in August before the September rains come but filled with wildlife. A railroad runs thru the reserve, but what's surprising is how wild animals accommodate that (and the damage elephants can cause to man-made structures). There was no need for a jacket since it was dry… didn't even get that cold on the night safaris. Also has the Olifant River running thru it giving a great perspective on wildlife around watering holes and the river.

Review about South Africa by Kelly Guenther
I've also journeyed to Amboseli National Park in Kenya. That sits next to Mount Kilimanjaro and was much greener with different wildlife -- but I was also there in May. What I liked about South Africa was the different ecology, the ease of having English spoken everywhere, and the incredible knowledge of most everyone we ran into around the Balule Reserve. I came away far more educated than in Kenya.

Tanzania Safari Holidays
Our nine day SPLENDID safari through the Northern parks of Tanzania -Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater was an excellent experience for our family of 4. Our guide and driver from AAS, Joshua was friendly and knowledgeable, very flexible with our needs, it was a great experience overall. we had a a good quality time together exploring the wild as a family was an adventure in itself. we have no better word then PERFECT for this trip! Balloon ride was an exceptional one. ***** stars to you

Solo Irish Man into Africa...
The safari was booked last minute and I mean last minute, I arranged with Budget Safari tour rep at 8:30 am and jumped on the safari vehicle at 8:45am and off we went!
I didn't know what to expect at all.It was the most amazing trip I've been on so far.
The driver John was an absolute gentleman and should be given an award for the driving and his vast knowledge of the animals and the vegetation in the Masai Marra.
The people on the tour couldn't off been more friendly, a pleasure.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Budget Safari's to anyone at all.

fantastic trip, well organised with very knowledgeable safari guide
the trip was great. we were met by our guide at the airport and driven to Selous park. The lodge was fantastic, simple but beautiful with a fantastic chef who cooked wonderful meals (including picnics each day). We saw most of the big animals and had some great game days. The village tour was disappointing - particularly because of our somewhat limited guide. We travelled to Zanzibar by boat which was quite an experience. Hotel on the island lovely with great pool and rooms but food was disappointing. Spice and stone tours great with excellent guide. All in all a very well organised trip with Daigle tours who I would definitely recommend.

Andre and his staff provided a first rate safari experience for us. Very friendly, knowledgeable guides that were fully committed to providing fabulous game viewing experiences. We highly recommend Safari With Us and look forward to travelling with them again.
