Everything was perfect, from start to finish, from the moment we were picked up at the airport.
Everything was perfect, from start to finish, from the moment we were picked up at the airport. The atmosphere in the Lions Gates is second to none, we had a very good evening before starting the safari, very good meal. Then during the safari it's just incredible, we saw the most beautiful things in our life, the landscapes, the animals, everything is magnificent. The guides are attentive, everyone is nice, I highly recommend! Small special mention to Petter who made us eat on the camps, very nice and very good cook!

Tanzania Safari Experience as Journalist
Zanzibar Is among the fascinating place in the world. My tour to this Island opened my eyes and made me me to discover new lifestyle, culture, food, excursions, how do people lives a long the Coast and there daily activities. I had to learn and practice some things, My Excursions were good and enjoyable. If you are planning the Tour to Africa I would recommend to pass in Zanzibar and book with these Guys Rede Tours they are good and Nice they don't chase for money but only to pay little that will help them to run all activities well and in safe side.
My Guide Nalisis was a nice person He taught me a lot about there culture and Language. Example "Hakuna Matata" means No problem. ," Jambo" means Hello.
These are some words you have to understand before getting to Zanzibar they will help you.
Thanks Rede Tours and Safaris for nice tour to Africa.

Great value for money, unforgetable experience
We had a very nice 4 days safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Norongoro Crater. I recommend visiting all these three national parks and conservation area because each of them is different and beautiful in its own way. We stayed the first night in a dome and the next 2 nights in tents, the washrooms were in different buildings next to the camp site and there's also dining rooms where we would serve dinner and sometimes lunch. At night, it can get cold so better bring warm clothes. (But not too many mosquitos so that was a plus.) We had the cook with us and she prepared delicios meals everytime, local food but very, very tasty and a lot of fruits. We saw many, many animals, the guide (Ezeckiel, which was a great person, by the way, I totally recommend him) would stop and search for the best place to see the animals and to take the best pictures. We were really impressed of how many we saw. For us it was the first safari, so for the money we paid, I think it was a great value.

No words can describe it
All started with email exchanges with Godson, who was very quick to answer, calm, patient and precise.
He offered us the best package compared to other safaribooking firms, and was very keen to giving us satisfaction, changing lodge and taking it to his charge.
Once arrived at the airport, we have been picked up by Godson and Shomvi, our golden French-speaking guide, who drove us during 7 days and spotted the unspotable animals in the savane (lions, leopards...) . Shomvi was our best surprise, very (very) kind, always smiling and happy to do his job. He drives very safely and knows every other guides as well as the park routes.
We had a memorable 7 day safari thanks to this team (even a flat tire due to the road was a wonderful experience !).
We recommand them without any doubt.
Hope to see you back very soon guys

Right choice
We had a very exciting 3 days safari in Serengeti and Norongoro Crater. I recommend this program. We found this program very sufficient in terms of content and days. We had the chance to see all the big five except the black rhino from the first day it was a very impressive experience
We stayed the first night in a dome (Nelson's big surprise for us) and the next night in tent,
At night, it can get cold so better bring warm clothes. We had the cook with us and he (Prosba) prepared delicios meals everytime, local food but very, very tasty and a lot of fruits. The driver (JUMA) would stop and search for the best place to see the animals and to take the best pictures.
The owner of the tour (Nelson) very interested, we can always reach him, he hosted us very nicely in his hostel before and after the safari. Our cook at the hostel was very friendly and made very tasty food
A once-in-a-lifetime experience

Outstanding
Absolutely love this tour operator. Chris has a detailed knowledge of African Safari destinations. He also reassured us that we could travel and enjoy during COVID. He was right, we had an amazing time! Prior to travelling, Chris fine tuned our itinerary to ensure we could get all the requisite testing done in a way that didn't interfere with our enjoyment of the trip. A lot has to do with the really wonderful hotels he booked along the way. If you are wondering whether you can enjoy yourself during COVID, it definitely is possible and worth it. It was actually nice having the crowds cut down a bit. We felt safe the entire trip. The local guides the team booked were top notch and very experienced. I think having experienced guides is one of the most important parts of a successful African Safari vacation. Why? Because they know the routes, they have relationships with other guides to ensure you see the Big 5 and many other animals. Chris can also book trips to Uganda for the Gorilla trek, highly recommended, perhaps the highlight of our trip. I won't hesitate to book with Chris and his team again for our next adventure to Africa.

Unique Experience
My English is not so good but I try to write this review as good as possible. We are a family from Germany with two children at the age of 7 and 15 years. We booked an eight day safari with Northern Circuit Adventure including the northern national parks (Arusha, Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). We found that company because of a positive review in a travel Guide. Furthermore we wanted to book a smaller local company because we expected that they would take more care of our individual desires. To keep in contact with Michael the owner of the company was very easy. He made us a very good offer. He offers us also to postpone the journey in the case we would not travel due to Corona.
The company picked us up from the Kilimanjaro Airport and brought us to our hostel. The day after we went to Michaels office to talk about some details of our safari. And at the following day Livingston our driver and guide picked us up with a well maintained off-road vehicle. Eventually a unique safari experience started because
-Livingston was a very good, experienced and prudent driver. At no time we had any fear that an accident could happen. Even facing very bad roads we had always arrived our sites in a good and healthy condition.
-Livingston has actually very good eyes. He even discovered animals with his bare eyes which we only saw with binoculars. So we were able to to see rare animals like the tree climbing lions at Lake Manyara, leopards at Tarangire or rhinos in the Serengeti.
-I noticed that Livingston knows the wild animals very well and he loves them. At no time he was chasing the animals for a short photo contrary to many drivers we saw during the journey. He even asked us for patience when he stayed longer at a certain place and often it was worthwhile. So we saw cheetahs and lions chasing wildebeest and zebras or we were in the middle of the herd of elephants.
-Livingston has very good nerves. Everyone travelling with children knows that they easily get tired and annoying but Livingston has always managed to keep them happy and interested.
If possible I recommend you to choose Northern Circuit Adventure. Everything was organised and carried out in the way we agreed on beforehand. The relationship between the driver, the company owner and us was up from the beginning very heartful and Michael even give us a bottle of red wine for a romantic evening at the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater.
Since in particular the small Tanzanian local companies are suffering from the Corona-Crisis and getting no governmental support at all I advise you to choose that company. You will not regret that!!!
