Hugely impressed with their knowledge of Namibia and Botswana and great itinerary suggestions.
I have nothing but praise for the extremely valuable information we received from Cardboard Box in planning and organising our trip. At the outset they were keen to find out our travel needs (and budget) and then provided a range of fantastic suggestions. A very customer focused approach. Alison, our travel consultant, proved her weight in gold, drawing on her extensive knowledge of both Namibia and Botswana to tailor a 3-week trip around what we wanted to do. We had a unforgettable self-drive safari through unique African landscapes, camp sites, game reserves and some luxury lodges.

Very good company that will do just about anything to make your safari an incredible experience!
I highly recommend Northern Circuit Adventure for several reasons. My group (three of us) due to a flight cancellation arrived in Arusha one day behind schedule. We were anxious about how Michael would handle this situation but he was very accommodating and made arrangements with the other traveler on our tour to shift the safari for us. Upon arriving in Arusha, it was much colder than we had expected so Michael went out and found several coat vendors to come to the hotel and show us some. He then drove us to an ATM to get shillings and showed us around the town, telling us some about its history and development.
On the safari, our guide Elias and chef Gabriel were absolutely amazing. Elias would stop at nothing to find an animal we wished to see. He once drove around the Serengeti for three hours to find a cheetah, and he didn't fail us. A similar situation happened in Ngorongoro with a buffalo. He never stopped until he knew we were satisfied and experienced what we came to. Gabriel's cooking is incredible! His soups are probably the best I have ever had. One of my friends has health problems that restricts her from eating many foods and Gabriel always made sure to make special food for her that she could eat.
Overall, amazing experience for a very good price!

Perfect Safari !!
We had 4 wonderful days private safari in Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. The Service was excellent already starting with selecting the best fitting National parks for the time and the lodges and camps. We enjoyed every single minute of our Safari and many thanks to our guide John, who really had a great feeling for spotting the animals, a very good knowlede about the nature and he was waiting at the right places with Patience to make sure we have the best sights on all the wild animals during the game drives. Our vehicle was very comfortable and i can tell you, we have seen lot of overcrowded other vehicles which made us glad to have selected World Air Travel :-)
They were taking care of us from the pick up at the KIA Airport until the "Karibu tena tanzania" at Arusha Airport. I want to thank especially John and Elias for organizing all so perfect for us and to give us such a great experience in Tanzania.
Asante sana and we hope to be back again to go to Serengeti next time.
Great Job !!!

Greetings from Germany
A delightful tour through the Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire national park!
Our tour guide Ombeni, really made an effort to ensure that we had a great trip. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife in the parks. Our first lunchbox from this/that was amazing, honestly some of the best food I've eaten in Tanzania! Our accommodations were also very comfortable at the Giraffe Inn.

Amazing tour, unforgettable experience, great price
I went on a four days / three nights safari with Bobby Tours. Me and my six friends spend two days in the Serengeti, one day in the Ngorongoro Crater and one day in Tarangeri.
To start off: our guide and driver Salim was amazing. He spotted all the animals from far away (leopards, cheetas, lions...and so on) and we were lucky to see a lot of them in action. Besides that he could tell us a lot about every parc and all the animals.
We had a cook with us, who prepared some delicious meals for us. I am a vegetarian and he came up with some very nice dishes.
We chose the budget camping option and spend two nights at the Seronera Campsite. It was an unforgettable experience to hear the hyena's, zebra's and buffalo's around your tent at night. The last nights we spend at Alsamo tented camps and lodges which is a brand new campsite, with a great atmosphere and very nice facilities.
All in all, we had the experience of a lifetime for a really affordable price! I would recommend Bobby Tours to everyone!

4 day tour to Kruger National Park
Outstanding experience and the trip of a lifetime. Our guide was excellent both at finding and spotting game. In addition Neil was a gourmet cook and kept us well fed and warm (blankets on morning game drives). We also got an interesting history lesson on the Anglo-Boer War and the first uso concentration camps. Neil is a true Renaissance man and greatly contributed to our tour.

My Iringa Experience
I had the opportunity to experience this amazing safari experience in March 2014. Paul was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable in his field and enthusing passion in wildlife conservation. An accomplished photographer himself, Paul's expert tips on wildlife photography add a special bonus to his tours.

Unforgettable Experience!
Our tour with Afroriginal was amazing! We felt like we were in Jurassic Park, surrounded by giant animals at all times. It is incredible how much life there is around you. We did a 4 day tour and each day brought a unique and amazing experience. Some of the highlights were:
- Lioness and her 5 one-month old cubs dining on a wildebeest 5 meters away!
- A cheetah eating an impala in the darkness (7pm) 3 meters away
- A bull elephant taking a close inspection of our vehicle with its trunk prior to the entire elephant pack following from behind
- Leopard lounging in a tree
- A beautiful male lion posing on a stoney outcropping
- Black rhino chilling in the tall grass
While luck certainly played apart in our sightings, our driver and guide, Jeremiah, really put in the extra effort to find us the best sightings and never cut the trip short. Some examples of Jeremiah going above and beyond:
1: Around 7pm, Jeremiah overheard that some other groups had seen a cheetah in a certain area. Despite the darkness, Jeremiah went in search of the cheetah instead of calling it a day and we were rewarded with a private viewing of a cheetah feasting in our car's headlights
2: Jeremiah had come upon a lioness and cubs leaving a wildebeest carcass and correctly assumed that they will drink water and return to their meal. We followed the lion family to the water and back when every other driver had given up on them returning. We again got some 20-minute private viewing of the lioness and her cubs eating and playing
Afroriginal also got the basics right. We really weren't expecting much from the food and were shocked by how delicious it was, not to mention really healthy. The portions were also massive so you don't leave the table hungry. As far as the tent, what can I say, it's a tent. It's clean with no holes and the sleeping bags and foam mattresses did there jobs (though bring some warm clothes for the night on crater - it gets cold even in the sleeping bag!).
Overall, it was an awesome trip. We had an incredible time and highly recommend Afroriginal Tours.
