Great Time and Lovely, helpfull and nice staff
We are a couple of italian guays (30 years old) and we choose eastern sun, first, because it offers the most convenient price for 6 nights safaris and very nice accomodatione. Then, i kept on writing many time to Mercy, the owner of the company, and she was really wonderful with us (she bought flifht tickets and she found a solution for every problem we had).
Wonderful accomodation in tarangire and in serengeti (kenzan camp tend).
Very nice, polite our guide, richardi.
We had a wonderful time and we really suggest to choose e your content here
Astern sun, trust them, beacause it's a very good and honest company!
It's a suggestione especially for italiana people, who usually prefer italian companies.
DEAR MERCY, THANKS A LOT!!!

Everything happened as expected
Nature Responsible Safari transmited us confidence from the very first communications already and never disappointed us. Everything happened as expected. When some troubles happened (not related to Nature Responsible Safari) they helped us to solve them. We cannot say anything even slightly bad about them and we firmly recommend them for any travel to East Africa.

Great safari experience between Mwanza and Arusha
I did a 5 days / 4 nights safari from Mwanza to Arusha which was organized by Brian of Friends of Africa Family Safaris. Before the safari I spent two days in Mwanza at Lake Victoria where I met with Brian and Sule (driver and guide) to discuss and prepare the trip.
On our safari, we first went to Serengeti which is not too far from Mwanza. Sule, the driver has an expert eye for animals so that we could see many animals that Serengeti is famous for, including lions, wildebeest, zebras etc. Our accomodation was Kati Kati Tented Camp, a convenient location amidst the wilderness.
We then went to Ngorongoro which can be considered a safari highlight, since it is possible to watch wildlife within a relatively small area. Sule was again very skilled in spotting wild animals. After spending one night at the Rhino Lodge and an exciting Ngorongoro tour we went to Lake Manyara National Park. This park offers a nice scenery and again a lot of wildlife to spot (elephants, hippos, monkeys etc.).
On the whole, the trip was very well organized and can be recommended if you want to see Tanzania's varied safari highlights. It is also a practical itinerary for moving from Mwanza to Arusha, two of Tanzania's major cities and tourist hubs.

Gorilla trekking is somewhat hard work but worth the effort.
Bwindi impenetrable forest is really a very beautiful forest. I know it’s not called impenetrable for nothing, the forest is huge and so thick but it has nice sceneries. When I realized that I was going to do a gorilla trekking safaris through the same forest, I was a little scared but excited at the same time because I didn’t know what to expect.
Trekking the gorillas is somewhat hard work but you are most certain that you shall find them. A bit of advice is you need a porter unless you are definitely in shape because you shall be required to toil steeps as you looking for these mountain gorillas. We were given one hour of watching but I enjoyed every second of this hour. Many times, I sat their taking photos and wondering at these great creatures. The weather was fine although the jungle was damp most of the time. It was a great journey worthy all my hard-worked dollars.
absolutely excellent from the horses, saddlery, route, food to leadership shown by Andrew the guide
I can only rate the whole experience as "excellent" so muchnsomthat we will return for our 3rd ride next year

Disaster
Confirmed a 10 day safari holidays with Lilac Adventures for Kenya and Tanzania online, did not meet any representative from Lilac only met the freelancing Tour Guide/Driver. At every game drive Park Entrance me and my three friends from Canada and US had to wait for hours for the Entrance fees to be paid since Daniel MD of Lilac had not paid the fees. Also while crossing the border from Kenya to Tanzania had to wait for 3.5 hours to be transferred to another vehicle for Tanzania safari with another tour company in Tanzania. Most of our time in this trip was trying to communicate with Daniel the MD of Lilac Adventures who never called even once after sending several emails while over there. Finally our last three days in Tanzania was in a Resort in Manyara since the tour company in Tanzania did not receive the cash for the Park Entrance fees from Daniel. Would highly recommend to avoid using this Tour company.

Tailored to meet all our needs
Since our first contact for information via email, I was pleasantly impressed by Around Africa Safaris' prompt response, clarity of information, good value for money and eagerness to meet our needs. This is why we chose them over the other offers we received. It is always a gamble, but the tour turned out to be perfect -- from our first pick-up up to the very end. The driver was extremely polite and reliable, always available to respond to our queries and requests, very informative without being pedantic, friendly but never intrusive of inquisitive.
We really enjoyed the route taken, the scenery and all the animals we saw, and absolutely fell in love with the Katara Lodge recommended to us while doing the booking of the safari. Stunning location and accomodation. Had we known, we would have stayed an additional night!
Thank you again to the Around Africa Safaris team!

Awesome safari!
We had a fantastic time on our safari with Safari Big 5. Our guides were very professional and knowledgable, the vehicles were nice and most importantly we saw tons of wildlife! I would highly recommend Safari Big 5.
