What a great time we had ...
We booked a 6-days tour starting early in January 2015, including safaris at Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro, Moshi with Kilimanjaro and finally Zanzibar. In addition, we played a round of golf at the brandnew Kili Golf Course.
Many thanks to the entire team, especially to JOAO who was an excellent organizer and to ALLEN our guide and driver,
Joao was very helpful with his expertise, his recommendations and prompt responses on our inquiries.
Allen was an excellent guide and an experienced driver. We obtained a lot of informations - not only about nature and wild animals - but about the country, the culture, the people and their life as well. That's it what we liked so much.

Wonderful
The Masai Mara is beautiful (landscape and animals). I very much enjoyed my experience there.
An Amazing Park!
Murchinson Falls was amazing! We listened to the sounds of the hippos at night from our super safari camp. We saw Elephants, Giraffes, Hyenas, and a Lion! The park is stunning with beauty and the guides the best!

Unforgettable trip; saw all the Big 5!
Excellently organised trip by Esmail from Safari Big 5 which incorporated all our needs (including our complex dietary needs) at a very reasonable price. We did a 5 day safari covering the 4 famous parks of TZ; Tarangire Park, Serengeti Park, Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Manyara Park. Our friendly driver was skilled at spotting all the animals we were interested in seeing including the big 5 and the wildebeest migration. It was incredible how close we were to the animals, especially the elephants and the giraffes. Our accommodation was amazing and we spent a couple of nights in tented camps in the center of the Serengeti close to wild animals and a few nights in a beautiful lodge just outside the parks. We would highly recommend using Safari Big 5 to all our friends and family.

One of the most amazing experiences in my life, wildlife was incredible!
I have dreamed of going to the Serengeti since I was 5 years old (I turned 70 the week before the safari). Incredibly, the whole experience was better then I expected or even hoped. We saw more than 50 lions, hundreds of elephants of all ages, from babies 3 or 4 months old to the full grown matriarchs of the herd, a leopard, multiple cheetahs and the wildebeest migration, with tens of thousands of wildebeest all around us. I am a birder so was also thrilled to see ostrich and several secretary birds as well as an array of hawks, rollers bee eaters and other colorful birds.
In Ngorongoro Crater we also saw 3 rhinos, completing the "big 5" as well as numerous other birds and mammals.
I should also give a shout out to Focus in Africa, the tour operator. We had an excellent guide who knew birds as well as the mammals, an incredible cook and comfortable tents and guest houses. Everything was very well organized and ran smoothly, communication was good and everyone on the tour professed to enjoy it immensely.

Beautiful safari in the Okavango Delta
The safari around the Okavango Delta was amazing. It was a completely different experience to a traditional safari. We got do a river cruise in a small boat too and saw so many hippos! It was incredible. We also drove around some of the reserves and saw lots of wildlife, sadly no big cats as the weather was a bit rainy (we did go during rainy season) but apart from that we still saw loads of animals - buffalo, giraffe, hippos, ostrich, elephants, jackals etc! We stayed in great accommodation by the Boteti river in tents but had a proper bed and shower and toilet facilities. It was a great experience and we would highly recommend Botswana! We will certainly be back!!

A Safari of a lifetime
At Maasai Mara we were able to see the Big Five in their natural setting-- we saw new life as an antelope gave birth in our presence, we saw a lion eating a wilderbeest, we witnessed the crossing at the Mara river. The weather was very nice hence we were able to do the game drive without problems. We used the Sopa lodge which was very clean with good food and evening entertainment by the local Masai who did a traditional dance. We also visited a Masai village and learned about their way of live. Our Tour guide, George of CKC Tours acted as an excellent tour guide who made us to appreciate what Masai Mara had to offer. In Mount Kenya we slept at the Serena Mountain lodge which is very beautiful and you could watch the animals from the balcony of your room as they lick salt and drink water. In Lake Nakuru we saw many animals but the most outstanding feature were the Flamingoes-- beautiful birds

Was amazing, is an incredible plan.
The hotel Savana the best, is a very good option because you are inside of the reserve. The wildlife is espectacular, very good plan to do at least one time in your life.
