Incredible wildlife
Little bit expensive but every penny worth in wild life safaris. The facilities at safari Lodges are excellent.

Great Service from Macho Halisi!
The trip we booked with Machol Halisi was fantastic. The communication prior to the trip was quick, clear and responsive to our needs. When we had questions they helped out with detailed answers and thoughtful ideas. This was extra helpful considering we were a last minute booking. The service during the actual safari was great. All the bookings were handled smoothly and our driver guide was the best. He was a great source of information and had a detailes knowledge of the different areas within the Serengeti. I would highly recommend Macho Halisi.

Place of numerous natural beauties - but lacks infrastructure
We hired a Safari company that helped us a lot, even before the trip (choosing the best airport, and the best flight time).
The Safari itself was wonderful. The guide was super knowledgeable, attentive, and fun. He welcomed us at every step.
We also went with an excellent cook- we ate very well at every meal!
We camped at the public camp. The structure was very good, and we could see some animals very close!- the camp doesn't have fences, so the animals roam around there.
Our tour offered a day visit to the waterfall and hot springs. That day was not very good. The waterfall is beautiful, but it's inside a coffee farm, where you participate in the coffee-making process, with lots of partying and singing - which you don't have the option of not participating. The visit to the waterfall itself was super short, you can't swim or even stay for a long time, as there are many tourists in addition to the residents of the farm. Then we travel for hours to get to the hot springs. Well...the place is crowded (we went on a Sunday), as it is the leisure space of the locals. Several people with floats and loud music, in addition to the barbecue. We, like other tourists, didn't feel comfortable staying there, it felt like we were invading something and being in such crowded places bothers us a lot. We left very quickly.
We were 6 people, and none of them recommends this last day tour as a whole.
In general, be prepared for latrines, lack of hot showers and toilet paper, and long hours of driving on very bad roads - in addition to a lot of bureaucracy and delay in airports and cheaper hotels.
Still, it's worth it to be so close to the animals and see them peacefully in their natural habitat.

Incredible
Tanzania is incredible. Anyone who is interested in wildlife should consider going there. We visited Serenity National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area as part of the safari and the whole experience was awesome. We got to see pretty much every animal we wanted to (excel Rhinos), passed around many Masai villages. Lions were three feet from our vehicle in some cases. The view of the endless plains in Serengity and the Ngorongoro Crater are amazing.
Our tour operator Safari Soles was very good with answering any questions we had and our safari guide Simone was the best. He knew everything about the parks and its residents and took us to some spots with no other people in the vicinity and these were some of the best wildlife sightings in the whole trip.
I highly recommend Tanzania to anyone considering a safari.

African wildlife as it’s best
We booked our trip with Kilimanjaro trek and everything worked very well. The wildlife we have seen is one of the best in Africa. Although we visited etosha pan long time ago , nothing can beat Tanzania . We visited several parks . All parks well organized and clean. People are very friendly and helpful.

Highly recommended for their professional service
Go2Africa did us proud once again. They arranged a ten day family holiday to the Medjumbe Island Resort in Mozambique. From our initial enquiry to our travels from start to finish, we could not fault their service.

Asanti sana
We had the most important experience of our life in serengeti, Tanzania with Chiba from African Cheetah. We slept in serengeti, visited ngorongoro crater, mount meru and kilimanjaro, and also zanzibar. Tanzania is a mabnific and friendly country full of treasures and pureness.

Best destination for Safaris!
We went on a Safari to Kenya in August to Masai Mara, Hell’s Gate and Nakuru National Park with the intent of seeing the Big 5, we saw them and a whole lot more! Back of Africa- our tour operator left no stone unturned in providing us the best dream vacation. Allan is super professional- timely in his emails, detailed and very personable! Our driver on the Safari- George made sure we saw all that we wanted to and much more! He’s very knowledgable, fluent in English and very attentive to what we wanted to see. We ended our safari with a leisure two days in Mombasa- the place I grew up and call home. 40 years later , it’s still the best place to me! It is an experience worth going on- I highly recommend a safari to Kenya for animal and action lovers!
