Experience with Wild Africa
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Africa for the first time and as an overall experience it was very good. We were however disappointed with the travelling arrangements in South Africa. A min-bus is just not big enough for some one 195 cm tall. The Cullinan in Cape Town whilst a good place to stay for a short business trip is not really suitable for tourists. We were very disappointed with the Kigio Conservancy, so much so that we cut short our stay there and went into Nairobi at our cost instead. Also stated travel times in the itinerary for East Africa were nothing like the actual times taken. Apart from Kigio the service we received everywhere was first class.

Great experience
We had a good mix of game drive and cultural experience on our safari. We had lodged run by former street kids, run by Masai and also more luxury in some tented camps and less luxury but great vibes in tented camps in the Serengeti.
The food was good but almost everywhere the same. Our guide Christopher was the owner of a little safari tour company. He was well educated, learned us a lot of things about Tanzania, it’s people and wildlife.
We even saw the big migration in the North. The only negative thing was the very long drives; even when the scenery is overwhelming, 6 to 8 hours in a car is too long...
but overall a great experience!!

A well planned afternoon with many native animal sightings.
My son and I had only half a day to experience a safari in Tanzania. Simba Adventures gave us an enjoyable experience in which we saw a number of baboons, water buffalo, and flamingos as well as many other monkeys species. Our hike brought us through beautiful forest terrain, with waterfalls and unique trees. Simba furnished us with a good lunch and the transported us to the airport for our departure. Everything was well coordinated and enjoyable.

The safari was a fun experience but communication was difficult.
Overall experience was nice, food was average, tour guide was knowledgeable. A variety of experiences was challenges but was rewarding. The most difficult time was the beginning process with making final payment and change in safari package which caused an extra day stay. This was inconvenient and conflicted with other schedules. There was no insurance, warning of roads and safety. Driving up the mountain with no guard rails and the driver was driving fast and sometimes cloudy and raining.

Absolutely wonderful and enjoyable
I thought the safari was great and seeing so many animals was wonderful. Camp Bastion was nice although it would have been nice to have a bit more free time there so we could use the pool and have a relax.
The only negative is that it is a long drive- nothing can be done about this but it was tiring.

6 day/5 night Safari - 4 parks - with children
We had a great trip with KET, we covered a lot of group and did Samburu, Abedere, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with three children aged 6, 8 and 10, they loved it. In an ideal world we would have taken more time as it was a lot of time in the car, but we didn't have more time and on balance we are pleased we saw so much with each park having such different landscapes and animals. Our Guide/driver was great, very knowledgeable and fun and patient with the children. All the places we stayed were lovely and generally exceeded our expectations. The only slight gripe with that the car, an old land cruiser, was pretty old and some more suspension was wished for at times, plus there weren't seat belts in the back for all of us so we weren't totally happy about that, but it didn't break down and the viewing hatch worked well, so it did the job. I was a bit uneasy as I only found these people on trip advisor and I transferred all the money out in advance, but they were great and it was nice to think that they are a Kenyan company and hopefully all our money is staying in Kenya and not going to some international operator.

Great safari with African Paradise Safari in Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru
Our safari with African Paradise Safari was just great! Our guide was so professional and he knew exactly where to go at all times for us not to miss any of the big 5!
We loved our stay at Miti Mingi Eco Camp as well :) staff there was so kind and nice. Food was also good (buffet).

What a regret to have chosen Hello Tanzania. Amazing country though
Last minute free lance guide not aware of the plan, angry at hello Tanzania the whole trip. So not in good mood to show us the beauty. Dirty and old 4x4. Permits to national parks not done on time. 3 activities cancelled on 6 because permits were not done. Had to argue with Sylwia and SAlum during the whole trip. 2 weeks of mails and complaints after our return to get refund. We finally received the due amount. Unprofessional company, giving fake excuses. I would say almost a fraud. This company should not be listed on your website. I saw after our trip so many bad comments on trip advisor, half of them were deleted. Just a pity to have trusted this company named hello Tanzania .

Exciting and Value for money
Some years ago I had the pleasure to go for a safari with Simba Adventures. I went to a few different companies and asked for itinerary and prices and the one that sounded to be most value for money was Simba. I must admit I was a bit sceptical that they would deliver everything they promised since it was a really good bargain. They even gave me a free night in Arusha. We went to a Lake and to Ngorongoro and they not only delivered what they had promised but so much more. My vacation actually turned into a permanent stay in East Africa and after many tours and safaris I still consider this to be one of the most valuable for the money I paid. I can mention that on the return to Arusha was a public holiday but Ally, the owner, actually contacted me and made sure everything had been ok. That is customer care and I can without any doubt recommend Simba Adventures
Tres bien / Very good
Very good, i enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for celebrating my birth day at Golongolo crater.
