Unforgettable Adventure!
I was trying to get a reasonable Safari in Tanzania without going through an expensive Company. I contacted Good Earth Tours; they were professional and very polite. We agreed on a price which was excellent. We had Richie as our guide who is pleasant and can spot an animal hundreds of miles away hidden. Richie has a vast knowledge of animals, birds and even plants!! It was an adventure we will never forget.

A unique experience made possible by Big Time Safaris team
I selected Big Times Safaris company to organise a 15 day family trip to Kenya based on research and reviews over the internet. The whole experience turned out to be exceptional by all standards thanks to the professional service provided by BTS team members. My wife and 3 teenage daughters enjoyed very much the Safari part in the Massai Mara, Nikuru lake and Ambosselli parks. We saw plenty of animals: gnus, buffalos, several species of gazelles, zebras, lions, hyenas, guepards, elephants, birds etc... We were very lucky to have witnessed a massive river crossing by the gnus.
The camps and mini bus we used during the travel were very clean and the driver/guide was not only a safe driver but also very knowledgeable and courteous guide.
We also spent few days in Mombassa area which gave us the opportunity to rest and enjoy the Indian ocean and a large variety of delicious food at the Reef beach hotel. We also discovered how beautiful the corals around the Wassini island were.
Overall the whole experience was very good and we will recommend it strongly to our friends.

Speed Touring
We took a week off to travel around Kenya and needed a knowledgeable tour guide who could accommodate us with an all inclusive package. We started in Nairobi, went to Kilamanjaro, then mumbasa and back to Nairobi. Spending about 2 days in each location. We got to see virtually everything we wanted and it was a great experience. The tour guide (Simon Mwangi) came down and was with us everywhere we went so we felt safe and informed at all times.

Conquer Kilimanjaro- Safari- Zanzibar
We booked a full dream holiday with Tanzania Expeditions, and I truly have to say we were pleasantly surprised every step of the way. Let me describe better:
1. Hiking to the top of Kilimanjaro via the 7 days Lemosho route. Every day starts with warm breakfast (including coffee in bed.. well, sleeping bag), and continues with exciting singing and dancing with the whole group while getting ready for the hike (tourists from other groups were coming to take pictures of us, I could sense some jealousy hehe). We actually learned songs in Swahili with these guys, I would have not believed it beforehand. The hike mood is always great, the guides have a lot of experience, speak perfect English, and are always there for you. Really, for anything. We overcame the tough parts of the hike, we made it to the top, and it´s all thanks to these guys. If you ever read this, thank you!
Dinner was always surprisingly good, the porters dedicated and always trying to cheer us up.
2. Safari (4 days Serengeti, Arusha, Ngorongoro) was beyond expectations from the point of view of amount and variety of animals we got to see. The driver was very knowledgeable and could spot a squirrel from a mile away. He was always pointing the animals to us, and sometimes it took us a while to see them ourselves. Sometimes they were simply all over the place, and you wouldn´t know where to point the camera. We also had good food, always felt safe and well taken care of.
3. Zanzibar. We chose the places we wanted to go to and things we wanted to do, and it was all organized by the company. We did some amazing scuba diving, visited the spice plantation, had a tour around Stonetown, and chilled out in wonderful, and surprisingly cheap, hotels by the sea. It´s a dream, if you ever get the chance, go for it :) .

Because Geert-Nick is a friend of ours, we immediately knew to book our trip to South Africa, with Tailor Made Safaris.

This guide made sure we were in the right places in time, he also told us where to do some shopping and where to enjoy a lovely meal. We have enjoyed every day to the fullest, Tailor Made Safaris has ensured that we made great memories for life! We look back on a super trip, a real dream trip that we will never forget. Thanks for all the great memories and hope to see you next year in Africa.
Best regards Stanneke van Cleef & Renee Stakenburg
Hiking Kili
I must admit this is one of the coolest things I have ever done. Hiking the kili is cool, and get to the top is definitely a nice feeling. Sharing 7 days with all the amazing people you find in the way, not just the friends you are going with, but the porters, the guides, people from other groups is just amazing. These guys wakes up before you and prepare everything, smile all day long, try to help you and give you the required support in case you need it, sing every morning in a way everybody is looking at your group and the group finish with huge motivation to face the day, dance with you and make you enjoy the experience in a way I never thought I was going to. As I say doing kili is a great experience, doing it with these amazing people is something different

The best Safari trip to date and I've been on countless Safari adventures
Everything was organised splendidly. We had a FULL itinerary on each day and in 5days we went from Arusha to Serengeti (north to south) to Ngorongoro and back to Arusha. We were lucky to see more than one crossing by the Mara river; the big 5 as well as other animals such as Cheetahs, Servals and Jackal cubs; and the vast beautiful landscapes that each area had to offer. It was great to stay in different camps/lodges as it enhanced the experience and staff were truly welcoming, friendly and shared some great stories. This trip exceeded my expectations. Fantastic and memorable.

Good safari - especially for the price
We did a 2-person camping safari for 6 days with Kilonzo in August 2008. We found him trustworthy and reliable. Our driver (named Praygod) and cook (Richard's brother) were competent and friendly. They were expert on safaris. They did a good job with the camping -- setting up our tent, sleeping bag, etc. – and the cooking was fine. Definitely a good deal for the price.
