the experience of a lifetime
My brother and I went on a four-day safari, visiting the Tarangire and Serengeti National Parks and the Ngorongoro Crater. We were astonished at the profusion of wildlife and how close we were able to get to the animals. Our guide at Suricata Safaris, George, was amazingly knowledgeable and spotted and approached animals we would never otherwise have seen. He was also a friendly, calm and helpful person and great fun as well. Hilda, our cook, worked wonders in the kitchens of the camps we stayed at, producing absolute feasts, seemingly out of thin air. She was also a lovely person and we enjoyed getting to know her very much. The campsites were in beautiful spots and were perfectly comfortable. I am so glad that I visited Tanzania. The wide-open spaces, the warm and friendly people we met and the stunning wildlife make it an unforgettable country. I hope to return soon.

Memorable safari Masai Mara and Nakuru
I went on a 4 days safari to Masai Mara and Nakuru. We were able to see 4 of the big five (we didn't see the leopard) and many other animals, the scenic view was amazing.

"Unbelievable experience"
We had a great time with Northern Circuit Adventure with 5 people.
Mike(the director of Northern Circuit Adventure) is so helpful and reliable.
Firtht of all, I had a lot of concerns(payment, diseases...), but Mike taught a lot of things kindly and cleared them.When I arrived at Tanzania, he welcomed me with open arms and when I departured from there, he saw me off wiht a handshake.He is really great guys. I never forget him.
We visited Arusha N.P, Lake Manyara N.P.Ngorongoro C.A and Tarangire N.P(4Days 3Nights).
All of them was fantastic ! ! !
I could see all of Big 5(The African Elephant, The African Rhino, The African Leopard, The African Lion, The Cape Buffalo) except Leopart.So many elephant in Tarangire ! I was very surprised and impressd.
Our guide Geofrey was "super" . He taught us a lot of things about Safari and let us take pictures until we were satisfied with it.
And our cook Sweetbart was "gerea". He made great food every day. In particular, I liked his soup... I wanna have it again.
On the other hand, there is some points they need to make better.
I spent 2 days in a Camp site, but a quilt was a little unhygienic...
and its showers didnt't have hot water, only cold, so I was freezing only when I took a shower.
Howerever, if I go to Tanzania again, I will choose this great company again !
I reccomend Northen Curcuit Adventure to you, strongly.
They must realize your dreams !
Very Special Thanks to Mike, Geofrey, and Sweetbart ! See you again.
It was the most amazing experience I have ever had .
I loved it all weather was great the animals were amazing in there natural habitat our guide his name was Simon absolutely fantastic he cooked for us took us on game drives all day love every moment I’m saving to go back again.

A lifetime of memories made within a few hours
Africa Vacation Safaris provided the best possible safari. It was more than I ever hoped for, catered for me and my wishes, from my park choices to the itinerary, to the lodges, to the wildlife. We saw the Big Five and the Samburu Five in a few short days. I can't wait to go back.

Gorillas Rwanda and Uganda
My family returned recently (August 2014) from a 5 day gorilla trekking holiday in Rwanda and Uganda, organized by Olive from “Africa Adventure Safaris”.
About a year ago I began researching trips to the gorillas and I spent extensive time on the internet gathering as much info and insight into the dos and don’ts, as I could, from 4 different tour companies. I eventually settled on an itinerary and the hotels I wanted and put the same option out to all 4 companies for quotes.
Over all the time of researching, Olive from “Africa Adventure Safaris” impressed me the most – answering my many questions and adding valuable info to my queries timeously, efficiently and with a friendliness permeating the correspondence.
“Africa Adventure Safaris” came in very competitively with pricing and after favourable reviews from past clients, I settled on them to arrange my trip.
All the bookings were done as per my requests and payment via EFT went without a hitch.
William - our guide and driver- was great – very friendly and knowledgeable about the region.
The trip was fabulous, the hotels as described and my itinerary was executed exactly as planned. We had an amazing, “once in a lifetime bucket list experience”.
I can only commend “Africa Adventure Safaris” on their professionalism and friendliness and would without hesitation recommend them to others wanting to experience this unique region.

A great safari experience
We visited Selous Game Reserve with Hello Tanzania in September. This was our first visit to Tanzania and we came away with very happy memories. We went on a 3 day / 2 night safari and stayed at Kinga Lodge. The lodge was a good base for visiting the Game Reserve and was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent. We had a half day and a full day drive within the game reserve and were able to see hippos, crocodiles, lions, giraffes and even the extremely rare wild dogs. We were on a private safari - our driver stayed with us throughout the trip and a local ranger accompanied us in the reserve. He had excellent knowledge of the wildlife and knew the Reserve well and where to find the different animals. Our trip also included a river safari and a bush walk on the final morning. Mwajuba Sultan from Hello Tanzania was always available throughout the booking process and organised other aspects of our trip to Tanzania. We were very satisfied with our choice of safari and also with Hello Tanzania.

Great Safari Experience with close encounters of wild life
We had a great 3 days trip with Wamba Safaris, filled with impressions and experiences. The guides were experienced and knowledgeable. The Pakuba lodge had the right level of comfort after the days travel and tracking and the wild life seemed to overflow. Herds of giraffes, elefants, buffalos and other deer were seen all the time, a river cruise in the Nile seeing the large Mutchison waterfall crocodiles, hippos and elefants was another highlight. Additional we enjoyed a visit at the Rhino Sanctuary, which was absolutely amazing because of the close contact to these beautiful animals. Thanks to all for this great experience for us!

Fabulous Safari Experience
My family had a fantastic safari experience, visited Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Game viewing was outstanding in both locations. Managed to see all the big five and large herds of animals, with some very close encounters with the lions, leopard and cheetah.
Stayed in Mount Meru hotel, Mbuzi Mawe luxury tent lodge and Sopo Lodge - All very good accommodations.
Merci did a great job of organizing the trip, was quick to respond to my queries, tailored the itinerary to my liking and budget, made good recommendations.
Our Guide Bonyface, was a thorough professional, very articulate and knowledgeable, with a good sense of humor and above all a careful driver.

The safari is awesome.
Tanzania is the most unforgettable experience in my life. I had a good time of this trip. The place is awesome. Great view and nice people. Accommodation is good but not that good enough. Food is delicious. Transportation is all settled by the safari company. Our guy is really good,and responsible. However, I will go back there to visit again.
