10 day Northern Tanzania wildlife tour
We had a wonderful tour with East African Safari Co. Communication beforehand was prompt and clear. The trip was planned very well. Lodgings were progressively less rugged and more luxurious, as we made our way from a big pup tent in the Serengeti finally to a fabulous eco lodge near Tarangire. Our guide, William, was wonderful--thoughtful, very knowledgeable, and incredibly good at spotting animals. We had asked for a mix of hiking and driving, and there were several hikes built into the schedule, providing a nice break from time in the Land Rover. We wanted to change the itinerary slightly partway through, by adding Oldivie gorge, and were able to do so (though of course we had to pay the additional entrance fees ourselves).

Perfect trip and great safari!
Let me express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for your cooperation. Thanks to you and your colleagues, the well-organized program during my stay in Kenia allowed me to take a closer look at your country, to feel and understand its nature, its character, to come closer to its people, to get new friends and partners that made possible to me finding new ways for bilateral contacts.
Such chances and possibilities will surely contribute to further development of economic ties and tourism between our countries and also might open new ways to mutually beneficial cooperation.
My special thanks goes to Mr. Richard, Mr. Eric, and our perfect driver, guide and simply a very good friend Peter for the unforgettable safari and comfortable transfer and accommodation. What a pity that we didn’t have enough time to discover all the beauties of the Kenian National Parks and the Kenian wildlife. But it simply gives us one more occasion to come back with new expectations.
Once again, thank you for all you have already done for us and accept my best wishes and good luck in your future endeavors.

Superb travel and safari arrangements
We recently did our first Africa / Tanzania safari through world air travel and tours and it could not have been handled any better. Very prompt in responses and email handling, Elias ensured that he tailor-made the safari according to our taste. Since ours was a last minute confirmation, some hotels which we wanted were full but Elias gave excellent alternative options.
To top it all, John the driver guide was equally efficient and knew where to find the best wildlife. His knowledge on the animals and wildlife was remarkable as well.
In zanzibar, Job our local guide driver gave a wonderful tour of the old stone town and was very prompt. His choice of the floating restaurant as a viewing point to watch the last sunset of our vacation was super.
Would highly recommend using world as your safari and ticketing partner. Rates are competitive, highly personalised service and wonderful knowledgeable guides.

Reliable and trustworthy - relax in their hands...
A fifth trip organised by African Welcome was possibly the best of all. They've all been the best of all! The patience while we have planned the trips and the working to our requests for style and comfort level has always been exemplary. Excellent communications and practical, pragmatic advice. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a trip to Southern Africa.

Great help from Madi and an amazing Kruger safari with Simon!
Wild Wings (Madi) organized based on our wishes a 24 days trip to S-A (J'burg - Pilanesberg - Garden Route - Cape Town - Kruger). We stayed in very nice lodges / guesthouses on great locations with very nice owners / staf and service. Our holiday ended with a 5 day Safari (Sakuza & Satara) with Simon. Simon is the absolutely the best! Enthousiastic, large knowledge from animals and from S-A, a great cook, a nice guy and most important an awesome animal spotter. Another advantage for us is that he speaks Dutch, which was very nice for our 2 boys to ask him questions of all animals.
Madi, Simon & Wild Wings Safaris many thanks !!!

Uganda - Pearl of Africa!
We went on a 16 day trip to Uganda, and fell in love with the country! Thanks to Intek, who did an amazing job in organizing our trip, from the first contact to the end of our trip. All staff has been amazing, the office, our drivers - everyone. We would at anytime recommend Intek to anyone travelling to Uganda and other Eastern African countries for safaries, they are the BEST!

Absolutely outstanding in every way
Our experience was amazing we are a mature couple who have done quite a bit of travelling before although this was our first safari. The communications with Ilse beforehand to customise the trip for us were all timely and very helpful. We were collected promptly from our hotel and then guided expertly and knowledgably by Emanuel, first to Tarangire N.P., where we saw zebra, lions, elephants and more. The lodge was superb and the people and food were lovely. From there we went to Serengeti N. P., again with our wonderful guide who found crocodiles, a cheetah with her cubs, lions with their cubs and even 2 leopards, as well as many elephants, ostriches, buffaloes. We stayed in a lovely tented lodge right in the park where we were very well looked after. From there we went to Ngorongoro, another wonderful experience, where we saw a rhino in the distance and some hippos up close. Our final stop was Lake Manyara, a smaller park on the way back to Arusha. I cannot recommend Matoke Tours and East Travel, their partner in Tanzania, highly enough. Everything went very smoothly and all the accommodation and food was excellent. The trip far surpassed our expectations and we will certainly go with them again. Thank you so much, Matoke Tours.

Excellent Experience
Amazing new friendship and experiences of a lifetime ♦♦♦♦♦
We really had a fantastic time and enjoyed every minute of the tour. Being a small group of just 4, made it even better our guide was really great and ever so helpful and very knowledgeable too. I think the Meserani Camel ride and the Maasai culture we visited were the main highlights for me. All in all I just loved Tanzania!!!
I can assure you that we would use your company again, should we consider another tour.
Many thanks once again for all your help and great organization!

A dream come true
I have always wanted to go on safari!! Choosing Northern masailand safaris was the best thing that ever happened to me. From the pick up at the airport, the amazing service, the experienced tour guides and the talented chefs. All this made the 8 days on safari a dream!! My 8 friends and I couldn't be happier :)! I will definitely be booking with henry again come January, and recommending him to friends and family. This company is very reliable and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have and exceptional safari experience.

4 days / 3 nights in the Masai Mara
We spent 4 days with African Hartebeest Safaris in the Masai Mara. It was a wonderful experience starting with the professional and individual setup of our tour. We were picked up at the airport, brought to a Nairobi Hotel and started our tour in the morning of the following day. The 250km distance to Masai Mara was managed safely by our driver. Entering the Masai Mara our driver could explain all the different species we discovered. The Base camp where we spent 2 nights is a nice place with good and comfortable tents situated directly at the Talek river being the border to the Masai Mara reserve. We had a lot of game sightings during the next days - obviously because our driver knew the right places! We spent the 3rd night in the eagle view camp which is an unfenced camp with only limied access of cars. The camp is located on the top of a mountain and offers avery nice views to the conservancy. The personell of this camp took very much care of us and took us also to some game drives - we never saw so many lions in one place!
In general it was a very nice safari experience managed and executed professionally by the Afrcan Hartebeest team (office team in Nairobi and our driver!) and the teams in the camps. Thank you for this nice time!
