Professional company with great knowledge of Tanzania and offers excellent equipped lodges.
We have had an overwhelming safari of 11 consecutive days. We visited NP Lake Manyara, NP Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, NP Tarangire, West Kilimanjaro, where we stayed in a Masai lodge and visited the nearby hospital of 2 Austrian doctors. Schools (boarding) have also been set up on site. The proceeds from the Masai lodge benefit the hospital and schools. Not only at the latter location we were extensively and well informed by the driver / guide of Flash Safaris. This involved all locations that we visited during the safari.
We first met the inhabitants of the village llkiding'a the first day at the foot of Mount Meru. Got a tour through the extensive living and living area and we enjoyed a traditional lunch.
Of course we have been 'on the hunt' for the wild game in the areas. We are very satisfied with this! From the big 5, we have had the lion, buffalo, leopard and elephant up close at hand several times. The guide came very close to the game in all cases. We were also literally in the middle of the annual migration of wildebeests and zebras! What an experience that was. Not to be missed were the beautiful film shots that we were able to make of giraffes, hippos, a pregnant cheetah, hyenas, gazelles, impalas, of course monkeys, a large variety of colorful birds, but also birds of prey. Especially the locations / landscapes at the Masai (view of Mt. Kilimanjaro!), Ndutu / Serengeti and Sangaiwe (NP Tarangire) have left us an indelible impression. The safari has 100% met our expectations, thanks to Flash (Magda and guide Adam). Our great appreciation for that!

Excellent experience in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar!
I contacted John (Director of CKC) from Argentina and he was very helpful and professional in organizing the trip we wanted to make. Everything was perfect, the drivers in Kenya (Kenedy) and Tanzania (John) were very friendly. I highly recommend going to the Ngorongoro Crater, it's amazing! And Zanzibar is a paradise.
Thanks John and CkC Tours and Travel.
I strongly recommend this travel agency

The guide was great but the rest was lacking
The communication was poor. We did a Maasai Mara tour with this company and the guide was excellent, the food was poor though as we had lunches that we a slice of tomato and a slice of onion between three pieces of bread. Despite this we decided to book another safari from Mombasa to Nairobi with stops in Tsavo West and Amboseli. Although we sent them a map showing where the pick up would be, the company went to our previous hotel in Nairobi. They tried to skirt blame over this putting it squarely on us, even though on several occasions we made it clear where we would be. Thankfully we were able to find another tour company which provided us with great service.

Wonderful experience
I went on a six day safari with my parents (Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, tarangire). It was not my first safari with enchanting Tanzania safaris and as all my experiences so far it was just amazing.
The lodging including food was fabulous and our guide was experienced and fulfilled all our wishes. He has a huge knowledge about the animals, the country and also about birds (very important for my father). And on top he is fluent in German! Due to the experience of our guide we saw not only the big five but also many other animals and birds, gained more knowledge and saw many different places in the parks but also around arusha.
I hope to be back soon for another safari - of course with ETS!

Amazing Safari Experience with Tanzania Wild Destination
I'm so glad i went with this company. Its difficult for backpackers to choose a safari company, as tours like these usually the most expensive part of an east africa trip. i was looking for a tour company that would deliver great value on safari, without having to pay for any frills i didn't need. tanzania wild destination allowed me to join an existing group tour. we did a 3 day tour of tangire, nogorongoro and lake manyara. crossed all of the big 5 off my list. the tour guide we had in our truck, goodluck, was incredibly knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, and a superhuman ability to spot wildlife at a great distance (while driving!). He also was able to change the focus of the tour as our groups interests changed from rhinos to cats and so on. the accommodations were basic, but in huts not tents which was a nice surprise (panorama campsite). Packed lunches were good enough to get you through the day, and food in camp was very tasty. champagne on the last day was a real treat.
these guys are real pro's, and know what they're doing. i would recommend this outfit to anyone. im sure these guys could arrange a little more upmarket accommodation if i was interested in a private family tour or something the like.
10/10 guys, thanks again.

Buffaloes and elephants gathering at the water hole and the leopard chomping on a leg of lamb on the premises of the Ngulia Lodge.
