Perfect honeymoon
We have just returned from an amazing honeymoon organised by The Luxury Safari Company. As first-timers to Africa we had no idea what to expect and were overwhelmed with the wonderful experience on safari in Sabi Sands. Rose recommended Savanna Private Game Reserve and it was perfect - we loved the staff, food and, of course, the game drives. Our guides and tracker were so knowledgeable and really enhanced the experience. We finished off our honeymoon with a few days on the beach of Bazaruto Island, Mozambique. The Anantara was lovely and relaxing, once again with good service and food.
We were also impressed with the transfers organised by The Luxury Safari Company as the drivers were always punctual and extremely courteous. We have honestly never had such a smooth experience with hotel transfers and internal flights.
The communication from Rose was professional and she always promptly responded to any questions, including arranging an itinerary perfectly around international flights that we had booked separately. The lovely surprises like a bottle of champagne, rose petal filled bubble bath or private dinner in our suite organised by Rose made our holiday feel like a real honeymoon. We will definitely use this company again for our next African holiday.

An overall great Experience
I was overall really happy with my safari and definitely want to come back some day!
We had some fantastic cat sightings in the serengeti; some lovely elephant, giraffe, monkey action in Tarangire ( turned to be my favourite park from this trip (beautiful Baobab trees and wildlife!) as the migration at that time was not yet back in the part of serengeti where we were the big herds are not really there; you will still have great sightings but just take that into consideration what time of the year you go.
Weather was solid; accomodation was either tent or in a very pretty bungalow. Great food(!) & great guides. The only slight critique point i had was that you change the people in your car quite a bit, I had expected to be in the same group for the whole trip; maybe that was due to low season though.
From my experience I would increase my time in tarangire next time and maybe (if you have to choose and can´t do all the NP)- skip lake manyara NP as the others were a bit more exciting. This is a personal preference though.

Amazing experience, incredible wildlife
Incredibly easy to see most of the big fives (we missed the rhino)
Sceneries are amazing, although possibly not as good as Namibia or Kenya
Food was always alright
Transportation, guide and accommodation always met expectations or more

Review about a 5 day safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro)
I was on a 5 day safari including Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro in August, 2014.
I had a wonderful time on the safari. I was completely satisfied with our driver,Hassani and our cook, Pius. They both made the trip unforgettable, with their knowledge, sense of humor and kindness. Hassani proved to be a wonderful driver and guide, who knew everything about wildlife and always found the animals we were looking for.
Pius concocted the most amazing and tasty foods there are!
The luxury tents just outside of Tarangire were fabulous, and i loved sleeping in our tents in Serengeti and Nngorongoro.
The national parks were amazing and we were lucky enough to see the big 5!
Thank you for your professionalism Hassani, Pius and everybody at Northern Circuit Adventure, who made this trip amazing! I would highly recommend this outfit to anybody!

Amazing Safari Holiday.
We are just back from the most amazing safari holiday in Tanzania, organised by Rama at Hazina Afrika.
From my first contact with Rama everything was so easy to organise all I had to do was choose what I wanted and Rama sorted it, even down to beanbags to rest our large cameras on to get really great shots of the wildlife. We choose the 10 day dry season package and it was full on from the minute we arrived, I loved every minute of it.
Rama met us on the first morning which was great and explained everything to us. He also met us on our way home to see how we got on which I thought was really good.
We flew to the Northern Serengeti and met our driver/guide Amani at the airstrip. We started our first drive straight away and spent the next eight days out on drives while making our way back to Arusha with the best driver/guide, Amani. We saw everything I hoped to and more from a river crossing of the Wildebeest to a Cheetah killing a gazelle, and he also organised a visit to a Masai village while we were there, which was one of the highlights of the trip. The accommodations were all great, I would highly recommend staying a few nights in the tented camps, it was a fantastic experience.
I would highly recommend using Hazina Afrika to organise a trip, Rama will make it very easy, all you have to do is turn up.
We had an amazing time, thanks to Rama for putting the trip together and to Amani who made sure we had such an amazing time.

Great Experience with Awesome Guides
We did 8 day Lemosho route Kilimanjaro Climb and made it to the top, Uhuru Peak. The price was so much reasonable compared to the big tour companies that you book online as this is a local company and the services for me was 5 stars. Robert the Manager for Oltumure Tours organised everything in one day and gave us the best climb guide,cook and porters. Climb was challenging but the crew helped us at every step. They really looked after us. Our guide, ericke, was motivating at every point. We stayed at Roberts campsite before and after the climb "Sakina Campsite" and the place is very relaxing,close to arusha town and facilities were good. i was a bit worried going to Kenya and Tanzania initially but this experience with Roberts company,im definately going back. Also people don't let the Ebola scare stop you from going to Tanzania. Ebola is in west africa . Be smart a traveller,be careful with your habits such as what you eat and drink etc and this applies going to any country. I totally recommend Oltumure tours for your safaris and climb in tanzania.

More than expected!
This was my third visit to Africa and my third safari. While I would like to say that one safari is better than another, you really can’t! Each is so unique and adventurous and different that you get quite a different experience each time. For Tanzania, the wildlife is great. We were in Selous, so what you should know is that I highly recommend The Selous Serena Camp for accommodations. The tents were very comfortable and the food was incredible. The guides that we had (Noah and Khalid) were so knowledgeable. There are no air conditioning units, but for this time of year, the oscillating fans were enough. You should also know that you will do quite a bit of driving before getting to large game like lions, elephants, and giraffe. Please don’t miss the opportunity to do the river safari on the Rufigi. This was the only time on safari that I was able to see a leopard! Great views of hippo and crocks on the river. You launch from the other Serena property, the lodge, and lunch will again be provided and amazing. September in Selous was dry and warm. The nights were cool. It’s a bit dusty. Zanzibar was quite the opposite! We stayed at the north of the island near Nungwi Village at La Gemma. Highly recommend this all inclusive resort. Beautiful white sand, sunsets, and the staff are so kind. We did several excursions and enjoyed all of them. My favorites were the Zanzibar cooking class with a local woman, the prison island tour, and a private sunset cruise. Please note that domestic flights in Tanzania are on tiny planes! If you have a fear of this, take your meds!! Tanzania is a beautiful country full of life, culture, kindness, and adventure. It’s a must do for any traveler!
