Peter was professional, very friendly and knowledgeable about the bush
Tales of Tanzania made our honeymoon perfect! Pendo was very helpful from our initial email until the very end where we got to meet her and she refunded us cash that I had accidentally overpaid for the trip. Very sweet lady and coworkers, very ethical.
We had the pleasure of having Peter as our guide and spotter! Peter was so friendly, fun, and profession! Peter was ready at the airport to pick us up outside of customs. Peter took us from the airport to Arusha where we had lunch, food was solid! We went to Manyara after that and saw the lake, baboons, elephants, zebras and giraffe. We stayed at the farm of dreams which was very nice and spacious and beautiful lodge. Peter had the lodging staff set up our bed to have “happy honeymoon” written with flower pedals for each night which was quite sweet to come home to at the end of the day. The second day we went to Tarangire National Park where we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, leopards and buffalo. We went on the night safari which was really cool even though we did not see any big cats, it was quite an experience to see the animals at night and a little intense as you could only see what was lit up. On the third day we drove from Tarangire to Ndutu which was the most beautiful drive. On the way all the children that are farming wave to you. Peter took us a different way than the other drivers which took us through the beautiful forest I’ll post below. Peter had timed out the sunset perfectly. We were driving the Serengeti plains which were like out of a movie and as we got to our lodging. It was probably when of the most unforgettable moments of of our lives. Right after the sunset we still to drive and Peter spotted a leopard in a tree about a hundred yards away while driving. We could see the leopards shadow. Peter has a serious eagle eye. We stayed at the Heritage Luxury Tents two nights where the staff played music and were very friendly. The tent was in the bush so we could hear the buffalo and hyenas at night. On the fourth day we saw lions mating, cheetahs, elephants, giraffe, hippo and the beautiful Serengeti plains. We returned to camp and Peter had set up a separate tent for us to have dinner in for the evening. On the fifth day we drove to the crater which was unbelievably beautiful and massive. Peter took us through the park where we saw six rhino, lions, buffalo, elephant, and flamingos. We stayed at the Ngorongoro Forest Lodge where we had a very spacious and beautiful room. The food was delicious and the staff was great as usual. Peter drove us back to Arusha where we met and danced with the Maasai tribe and saw their home. It was very special and we were not expecting it. Peter then took us to the airport which was a bit bittersweet moment as we had gained a friend in Tanzania and had to say goodbye. Peter will definitely be our tour guide for our next safari with our children. Peter is so professional and I don’t think there is anything he does not know about Tanzania and the bush. He has an unbelievable eye. He is polite, funny, smart, and fun! Thank you so much Peter and Tales of Tanzania for making our trip unforgettable!

Great trip on Mount Meru
I can recommend going with Serengeti Landmark Tours, everything was very well organized, from the airport transport to the hotel and the trip itself. I did three days on Mount Meru and it was an amazing experience, would definitely do it again.

Amazing Kilimanjaro Climb!
I recently completed an unforgettable Kilimanjaro summit trip with Raven Safaris. It was an experience of a lifetime!
From the first message with Raven when enquiring about the trek, until the day I returned home, communication was great. The team were responsive and provided lots of information on the trip, ensuring I was well prepared to take on the climb.
Every member of the Raven team that accompanied me were amazing. I would not have been able to complete it without them. They were friendly, welcoming, professional, and kept spirits high even through the tough parts. My guide, Tony, was extremely knowledgeable and supportive. He carried out regular health checks, provided sound advice to avoid issues with the altitude and ensured we went "Pole Pole" to allow for gradual acclimatisation.
At the start of my trip, there was an issue with my bag not arriving at the airport. Raven were very supportive during this time and came up with a number of solutions for me. Luckily it arrived the following day and Raven were able to start my trek a day later than originally planned. They were very understanding and accommodating.
The food cooked by chef Abou was also absolutely delicious!
In conclusion, my Kilimanjaro trip with Raven Safaris was beyond incredible. I recommend Raven Safaris to anyone seeking a well organised and unforgettable adventure to the roof of Africa!

INCREDIBLE!!!
Honestly, the company exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we contacted Kennedy everything was simple. It was hard for us to believe that everything happened so easily, and when we arrived at the Masai Mara we realized that we had chosen well. The tents are practical and comfortable even for traveling in large groups. Our guide, Moses, was amazing, always offering explanations, help, and looking for the best places to take photos. He clearly would choose them again and highly recommend.

The best Safari Guide we had in Tanzania!
Solomon is a very friendly, humble and cool Safari guide. We got on really well together the whole time, talked a lot and also learned a lot.
He always took our wishes regarding the safaris into consideration and tried to accomodate us with the best solution possible.
And Solomon has a large knowledge over a wide array of topics consisting of wildlife, nature, national parks but also Tanzania and its people in general.
The 16 years of experience as a safari guide were very noticeable to us in his excellent driving style as well as in his knowledge of where the best places in the national parks are and how best to get there.
All together, my girlfriend and I can definitely recommend Solomon as a Safari guide to everyone!

Great experience. Okuli was a great guide. Safe informative and a great spotter. Thumbs up.
A great value. The hotel choices fit perfectly with the tour. Okuli was a great guide. All the animals were as promised. We had a lioness walk right under our vehicle in the crater. Okuli was able to find lions mating, elephants with babies, a rhino, lots of hippos
a pride of lions and so many giraffes, monkeys, baboons, zebras, water buffaloes, and warthogs. I loved it. A dream come true.

Peter is a professional!
It was my first time in Namibia and I didn't know what to expect, but Peter Boer gave me a safe and good feeling right from the start. He is a very experienced guide, an excellent driver and nothing escapes his eyes. Even when something surprising happens he always has the situation under control. I would trust him with a newborn baby! I would book him again and again.

Amazing Experience
We recently had an unforgettable safari with Kruger Safari Co. From the beginning Wayne simplified the process and made sure we had the safari that was right for us. On arrival Carol greeted us with staff and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. I can't say enough about the staff at Kruger Safari Co. They are so welcoming, friendly, and attentive always there to make sure your needs are met. The food was exceptional for every meal. It was like dining three times a day at Michelin rated restaurants.
Victor our guide for the entirety of our 5-day, 4-night stay was delightful, knowledgeable, and passionate. Victor's expertise and understanding of the land, following tracks, and overall disposition made our time exceptional.
I cannot recommend Victor and the Kruger Safari Co highly enough for an unmatched safari that will leave you with cherished memories and a full heart to last a lifetime!

Very friendly, safe, knowledgeable, and personal tour operator which made us all feel so welcome.
What a wonderful safari experience we have had thanks to Oscar and Charles our driver. Both were so friendly and considerate, thinking of how to maximise our time on safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Communication with Oscar was excellent from the beginning. Unlike the very large companies, we got a feeling of genuine personalised customer care. The service was top and proved to be great value for money. The tour itself was amazing. You could tell Charles was an experienced guide, driving carefully, being considerate towards animals and wildlife. He also had an incredible ability to spot animals that we sometimes missed.
Both our camp sites were excellent. Food was good, accommodation comfortable, and staff very friendly.
The safari jeep was perfect. It was spacious, clean, had charging points, and a refrigerator. Oscar offered us complementary drinks during the trip.
We enjoyed our experience so much that we are thinking of returning in the next 3-4 years and we will almost certainly go with Kale Voyage again.
