Well organisieren, great views with an exellent Guide.
Everything we saw was great. There were so many animals we wouldnt have seen and so many people we wouldnt have met, as well as facts we wouldnt have known without our Guide. Pembe was the best Guide we could have had. It was the best thing I have ever done.

Let them plan a trip of a lifetime!
We started planning this trip a year in advance. After having many conversations and emails a trip was established. We did not know at that time it would be a trip of a lifetime. ...we only hoped that it would be great. All our expectations and more were granted!
The communication from Ashley was excellent. The personal service was much appreciated. Our surplus of questions were answered promptly, positively and with great patience and guidance.
Ashley suggested that we visit two safari reserves. That was a superb idea because we gained from both and they were both very different. It would take a book to share all our adventures on these safari drives such as seeing the Big 5, the Magnificent 7 in total, a lion kill, having to move the dining site as a herd of elephants was coming, being awakened by a baboons cry at 4:18 a.m. and having to be walked home at night because of an elephant and a buffalo on the path. That is only the beginning! No amount of reading and pictures prepare you for the "real" thing. We were so up close to these animals that I felt I could put my hand out and touch them. Yet I was never nervous because of the excellent trackers and rangers.There is not a moment I do not cherish and am so thankful for the opportunity.
Without Ashley's guidance this would not have been possible. It takes someone from South Africa, someone who has done these trips and someone who is so dedicated to providing the best advice to organize such a trip....thank you.

Second visit to Tanzania ...
First visit was in July 2018, I went to Selous game reserve, this time (January 2019) I went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngrongoro national parks.
I just want to mention that I enjoyed the game reserve much more than the national parks, In game reserve you have the freedom to go off road and go nearby the animals or go around them for better view, while in NPs its a matter of luck to get nearby animal and in good views.
Of course the overall scenery of Ngrongoro is suburb and I enjoyed it, but still this can't beat the experience in game reserves.

The wildlife was magnificent, exciting to see the animals so close up
The safari worked so well as all the arrangements are in place so accommodation ,food transport were fine . Some of the tracks were rough but that is Kenya!The guide was an excellent spotter & pointed out the animals well before we saw them & also explained about their social way of living. The highlights were the elephant groups & their interaction.

A good value for money ratio, nothing more
The accomodation was ok, apart from the mosquito nets full of holes, totally inefficient. The food was good! The first guide we had didn't stop long enough to observe the animals quietly, hardly ever turned off the engine of the van, and was all the time busy with the radio (which is good to spot the animals and share with the other vans, but not all day long!! Very noisy! ) The second guide was much calmer, gave many explanations and showed an interest in sharing his incredible knowledge!
We did a marathon game drive (not as planned) a full day instead of splitting on two days (as planned) with an early morning game drive the second one, which would have been less exhausting, less haste and hence more enjoyable (and also, I suspect the objective of the agency was to save the entrance fee just for one morning; the entrance fee is valid 24 hours)
Although it is written down in black and white, the programme is "flexible", which has both advantages and disadvantages.
At the end we took a bus with a company (Tahmed) partner of the agency: very bad experience: the staffmember on board (not the driver) was very rude after I said I didn't need a taxi at the arrival, and kept looking at my daughter (23) as if she was a piece of meat! Very unpleasant!
Otherwise, it's pretty well organised, the staff on the camp sites are really sweet and quick to react to meet your needs.

Unforgettable Experience
Tremisana Lodge is a very comfortable and convenient accommodation, Good service and expert guides. We really enjoyed the bush walk, and during our staying we have been lucky to spot most of the animal. Highly recommend this package

Very friendly safari company
We went on a 3-day, 2-night safari with Safari Multiways in May this year whilst visiting Tanzania for a wedding. The service provided was excellent from the start - after making an online enquiry via SafariBookings, we received a very quick response from Romeo the manager, detailing possible itineraries and prices. Booking was simple via email. Because of technical reasons we were unable to wire transfer the deposit but this was not a problem. When we arrived in Arusha we visited the office and got a very friendly reception from the staff - our guide was even sitting outside on the street all day with a our names on a sign waiting for us to arrive! And he took us all around the town helping us to use the banks as we were having problems with many of the cash machines!
On the first day of our safari, our driver guide collected us from our hotel. The vehicle was comfortable, with plenty of room for our luggage. As there were only 2 of us, we always had great views and were able to take some fantastic photos. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all the animals and a lot of the birds too. We visited Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Manyara over the 3 days. Each was beautiful and each different in terms of landscape and the animals and birds we saw. Our favourite moment was when our driver told us to "Close your eyes and don't open until I tell you to" - and when we opened our eyes 30 seconds later we were parked up with a lion and cubs sleeping just a few feet away from the jeep!
Accommodation was in lodges - both were lovely and provided good dinner and breakfast. On the second night, there were buffalo roaming around below just outside our room which really added to the whole experience! The lodges provided a nice packed lunch too.
We had a great time on our safari and would highly recommend Safari Multiways to anyone. They are a small company yet are professional, friendly, very accommodating and helpful. Many thanks to Safari Multiways for such a fabulous experience!

We fell in love with South Africa
What a beautiful country! Wildlife (we were in Kruger for one week), scenery (Capetown area is fantastic), great weather, friendly people with true hospitality, high level of service, fantastic food (I gained 5 kilo in three weeks!), great wine! We fell in love with this country only after being there once. We will surely come back!

Wonderful safari
We did a safari in Tanzania (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) on December 2018.
Nature and wildlife were fantastic but also fantastic was our agency, Afrishare Trekking&Safari, and our guide Amani!
Safari price was very very good and we were a little bit scared about company services but ... everythis was wanderful! Planning was perfect, accomodation and car were perfect, the guide was excellent!
You can organize a safari with Afrishare and you will be happy about it! The boss, Ibrahim, was very available and don't forget to ask Amani as guide, he will make wonderful your journey!
Thank you Afrishare and thank you Tanzania!

Trip of a lifetime
Just returned from a 6 day safari with Bright African Safaris which started on the 1st September 2014. A truly memorable experience. Couldn't fault the service offered by Msangi and his team. Bright African Safaris were prompt and efficient at answering all our pre-safari queries and the service provided by our guide, Othman, whilst on safari was second to none.
Nothing was too much trouble throughout our trip and we felt very well looked after. We would definitely recommend to other travellers.
