A once in a lifetime experience...
My co-workers and I joined 3 other under guide Sue's watchful eye. We saw SO many animals... and of course the Big 5. We spent 2 nights in Kruger, then the last in a private resort. Kruger was rustic accommodations, but adequate... and interesting, including the Baboon that visited our unit when we werent there!! He ate all of my cough drops. Sue kept firm control of us rookies... demanding on-time appearances from us all. She also rotated us every safari (3 a day) so that everyone had a chance to be in a different row on the safari vehicle. Sue is really an eagle-eye, and we saw many animals that don't normally make an appearance. She was very informative, fun, and excellent at her job... we learned so much about South Africa, wildlife, and South African history. I will never forget this experience. Sue was an excellent driver, only wish she wouldn't turn around to look at us while talking and driving... although no issues, just a bit uncomfortable.
Wildlife Safaris was excellent in explaining all their options, and responded immediately to any questions we had while making the arrangements... Thanks Christine!
I plan to take my husband back again later this year, and would deal with no other company than WS... Thanks!!

awesome roadtrip northern Tanzania
We have great memories of our roadtrip with Flash Safaris. Our guide, Roger, was very profesional and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Tanzania is impressive! The landscapes, the animals, nothing like I'd ever seen before. I must be honoust I was nervous traveling to Africa for the first time and I didn't know what to expect. It is kind of a culture shock when you travel from Europe to Africa for the first time. But Flash Safaris thought about everything so we got to know the country and the culture 'step by step'. I loved it and I can recommend anyone in good health and flexibility in mind and spirit to go there!

Amazing adventure for 3 days at Selous Game Reserve
Communication was perfect, everything went very well and very fast (reservation within one week!)
Hippo Tented Camp is very basic right in the nature, but amazing at the Rufiji River and with a helpful and nice host
Staff from Kanuth Adventures was helpful at all time, and very nice; our cook was great and he offered as perfectly cooked meals!
Safari tours were just awesome, the driver made so much possible for us (driving near to the elephants), nevertheless the car got stuck in wet sand at our drive home to the camp, it was impossible for the driver to get the car out there; what really surprised us was that there had been no appropriate equipment for accidents like that (Kanuth Adventure should really add this equipment and teach their drivers how to use it)
But all in all: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Thank you so much!!!

Great overall experience!
From the first email inquiry, Rama Mo answered all my questions, worked with me to get exactly what I wanted at a fair price - much more so than ANY other operator I contacted. I was a little afraid of paying everything up,front and being left in the lurch. Not to worry! Rama was waiting for me before the appointed time, introduced me to Soencer, my driver and guide and we were off! Stayed st the Mikumi Wildlife came - great place, so defaul rooms, excellent and abundant food!). Soencer took exceptional care of me, dealing with a few unexpected challenges in a professional and safe manner. I highly recommend Gecko Adventures for safari planning in Tanzania!

Wonderful, it was marvelous the guy delivers what he promises and beyond.
It was our honeymoon, in the beginning I was skeptical about the idea of doing safari but with Kanuth and his guide Vumi we experienced the best time in our life. From the first day till the last in our 7 days safari we were enjoying every moment in the game drive and the accommodation which really exceeded our expectations. Well done Kanuth and Vumy and thank you so much for adding the joy to our wonderful event and an unforgettable memories.

Beyond our expectations
We just got back from our trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar with Java Safari. The trip was a realisation of childhood dream and it exceeded all expectations. The country is stunning and the wildlife spectacular. Java safari was amazing in creating the perfect itinerary. The order of parks visited and the array of different lodges and camps we stayed at, truly maximised the experience. I would highly recommend visiting the country and travelling with Java safari.

Great Experience We will live to Remember In Africa
My family and I had trip this year.We had a wonderful time and a smooth ride. All the hotels we slept were nice and it felt like we are at our home. Our driver guide Clement and our cook Sam did an excellent work. They made us feel comfortable in Africa where we dint know anybody. Mr. Otieno was always quick to respond to us. We are so grateful to Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris. Those good memories will remain in our minds forever…Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris you are the best….

Excellent camping-safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks in Tanzania with Matoke Tours.
We are a family with 3 children, aged 4, 6 and 8, and booked our 4 day camping-safari to Serengeti and Ngorongo national parks + 3 extra days in Arusha with Matoke Tours. Matoke Tours was very quick in sending us a program and responding to our questions. Also prices were very reasonable! All communication was perfect.
On arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport we were picked up by our guide who brought us to our lodge in Arusha for 1 night.
After that we did a 4 days/3 nights basic camping safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Everything was organised perfectly!! We had a great very experienced guide who really did his utmost best to find every animal in the parks. The children were very excited and without the guide we would not have seen at least half off all the different animals we have seen now.
Our accommodation was in tents on the public camp sites. The cook and camping-assistant always arrived with a separate feeding-car before us on the camp sites, so when we arrived the tents were set and the food prepared! Tents, sleeping gear, tables and chairs, all were very good quality. We could actually not call this basic camping :-)
After the safari we stayed 3 nights in Arusha in the Ilboru Safari Lodge which is excellent for a family!
Matoke Tours all organised it perfectly and also followed up with us after the safari if we had any feedback on the trip.
We would definitively book with Matoke Tours again and can highly recommend it.
