Brilliant safari, great guide and fabulous lodges!
We did the Simba safari four nights safari package in July 2016 with Savannah. We were greatly happy with our safari which was one day in lake manyara, one day at ngorongoro crater and two days in the Serengeti. Our tour guide George was brilliant, so knowledgeable, eagle eyed and friendly. The lodges that we stayed in reached our expectations and beyond, the rooms were really nice, with fabulous views and the food was lovely. Transport was great, Our guide dropped us to our next hotel in Moshi at the end of the trip. Communication with Savannah was always great. Roberto in the office always responded to me by email almost instantly with answers to any queries I had. I would highly recommend Savannah explorers to anyone wishing to go on safari in Tanzania in comfortable lodges but at a reasonable price. Thanks Savannah four such a great trip.

Awesome Experience
We arranged a custom ten day tour and safari with Kruger Park Travel after reading the companies other reviews. As we have a large family and a modest budget, we were concerned about maximizing our safari experience along with the countries we could visit in southern Africa. We discussed the issue with Mike and he came up with an itinerary that met and exceeded our aims. Once we finished with Mike, Kylie helped us polish off the final details of the trip and provided customer service throughout the trip when we had any questions or concerns. The logistics of the trip were quite complicated, yet everything went very smoothly without any hitches whatsoever. Any time that we had a question or needed to refine a timing, Kylie was there to help sort everything out. I have been to fourteen countries in Africa over the years and am well aware that things can go astray quite quickly so to have everything run so smoothly was a pleasure. The customer service that Kylie provided throughout the trip was excellent. The accommodations that they chose for us in all of the locations were first rate and definitely enhanced our experience. All in all we had an amazing trip and are very grateful to Mike and Kylie for helping us arrange it. We would have no issue whatsoever recommending Kruger Park Travel to anyone wanted to travel to southern Africa; they are an excellent company. Thank You!!!

Great experience!
At the beginning we were not sure on the safari but our booking was handled by Robert and he is very efficient and always available. I wonder if he sleeps? As anytime I sent him my query he would immediately reply even if was middle of the night. He made it so simple that everything for us went hassle free. Also I would like to mention our guide Joseph who made all the best possible efforts to find perfect sighting spots and the incredible experience we had watching the great migration. All the efforts put by both these guys are really commendable and I would highly recommend them.
Thanks again

Outstanding and Affordable Tanzania Safaris for Birding, Wildlife, and Cultural Experiences
I have taken 3 groups of friends over about a 12-year period and the safaris have always exceeded my expectations. The same with friends who have used RA Safaris on my recommendation. Their guides are great birders and amazing experts in animal behavior. The safari vehicles are comfortable and in good condition and the meals, lodging, and bush camps selected are excellent. I enjoy visiting many different tribal villages in addition to birding and wildlife viewing. RA Safaris will arrange the safari to accommodate the client's interest, for example to focus on birding, landscape photography, or wildlife migration or various combinations thereof. I am planning to take my young grandson and family on another RA Safari in 2017.

A tailor made safari within our budget. We're glad we found Edward !
We first asked Edward to arrange our safari week and we had specific requests : we wanted to see Masai Mara in Kenya, then cross the border (which we realized after is not easy to do) to reach Serengetti Park and finish at Ngorongoro crater. Everything went perfectly : Edward understood our budget constraint but he also managed to book the accommodation we requested (mid range tented camp).
I really want to highlight the importance of the driver on a safari ! I highly recommend Joseph to anyone going to Masai Mara. He was our driver there and he literally tracked animals for us. He is not only very experienced but he's also passionate about wildlife : he knows every corner of Masai Mara, the animal's habits, their favorite spots... He also avoided the crowds of cars filled with tourists which we very much appreciated!
If you are going to Serengetti, we recommend a night at beautiful Kati Kati. Amazing a place in the heart of the park !
If you are staying a few days in Kenya : Hell's gate is a great first experience to walk in a park free of predators. And lake Nakuru is a must to see the rhinos. Note that a van is necessary for a better experience there.
In a word : big thumbs up for budget Africa safari !

Top of the service - everything went smoothly
Gondwana Tours & Safaris helped us personalize our tour. All of the accommodations that they provided us as options were excellent. GT&S really helped coordinate our whole trip so we didn't have to worry about anything. I can't say enough great things about Gondwana Tours and Safaris and would give them my highest recommendation to anyone! Thank you so much for a great trip.

More than we ever expected!
Kruger Flexi Tours was wonderful. We had such a good time and Dave was a fantastic tour guide and delivered more than we every expected. He anticipated our every need. We went on the Lion King Tour and met great people, saw lots of animals (though there is no guarantee that one will spy even one animal while on safari), ate terrific food, experienced and understood some of the local customs, and in general, had the time of our lives. We highly recommend Dave, his backpacker's inn, and especially the Kruger Flexi safari Tours.

Best Safari tour with a even better Safari Guide/Driver!
My 3 girlfriends and I had a incredible safari with African Comfort Zones!!! Our driver Martin was a incredible guide and was knowledgable about the animals and reserves we visited. We even saw white and black rhinos! The food was great, our luxury tents also exceeded our expectations. Do try to pack lightly as your luggage goes wherever you go! A great experience! John helped us plan the perfect safari adventure! Thank you John and Martin!

Everything we hoped for and more
For years my wife and I had hoped to go on an African safari with our kids and with some friends, and when the time came to plan it, a friend of ours highly recommended that we use Charles Mpanda and his Tanganyika Ancient Routes tour company as our guide. We were not disappointed, Charles and his drivers were the best... they were extremely friendly, helpful and insightful.
Charles was amazing at spotting animals that we could never have seen without him. Traveling for an extended safari with preteen kids can be challenging, but Charles and his staff were absolutely great with the kids and the kids had a lot of fun with them. All the overnight arrangements were wonderful and Charles was hands on if any issues needed clearing up.
As our friend did for us, we can also highly recommend Charles to you... our safari was everything we hoped it would be and more.
