Great safari in the southern parks with few tourists and lots of animals!
The Southern Circuit (Selous, Mikumi, Ruaha) is really recommendable because you discover the big differencies in the behaviour of the animals in the different parks and the changing landscape on the way. The parks are not crowded at all (maybe Mikumi a little bit) and there are plenty of animals to see. Except of lions or leopards (where everyone is going directly to have a look) you will often be the only car close to the animals.
The weather is pleasant and the accomodations very nice. There are also just a few mosquitos and Tsetse-flies.
We would definitely recommend the Safari in the Southern Parks if you like more remote parks with few tourists.

Amazing and well-scheduled
I was really satisfied about my experience with Safari Specialist.
I did appreciate the customer care from the very beginning. They gave me useful advices, not only about the safari but also with my journey in Tanzania in general. They managed to rescheduled in a very short time the trip in order to meet needs. The driver was great. A very kind guy and the accommodations was very genuine as well as clean.
At the vey end, I felt very comfortable throughout the safari.

Mountain Gorilla in Bwindi Impenetrable National park
Travel Explore Africa Safaris (T.E.A) planned for us a great safari 8 days/7 night’s safaris to Track in PNV and Bwindi impenetrable National park. Everything was well planned and organized -- which we appreciated! And, we highly recommend Wilson Bisaso as a driver! Not only is he an excellent driver with a very good solid car, he is God fearing and very personable and knowledgeable. He is willing to go the "extra mile" for the customer. Really his calm demeanor and reliable services made our tour/trip seamless.
For lodging, we loved the Mountain gorilla view lodge and the Chameleon Hill Inn. These were both highlights. We did two gorilla treks -- one at Volcanoes Park in Rwanda and one at the Bwindi Forest in Uganda. Both were amazing. The guides and rangers were very informative. We were glad to be able to trek in both countries, as the experiences were different. If you go on these "hikes", bring hiking boots if possible, as the terrain is very slippery. There are no "trails" -- the guide simply clears the forest using a machete. And, the gorillas don't follow any set routes. Be sure to hire a porter as well. These local people are very helpful and they depend on the income.

Impressive!
It was a great experience with VivaSafari tour operator. I stayed at Tremisana lodge and it was a piece of paradise in a dry and brownish bush. The staff is excellent, accommodations are comfortable and the food is very good. The safari itself is incredible - lots of animals and birds. when wild animals appear next to you - it is magic. The company structure the stay well and have interesting activities like for example visiting the animal rehabilitation center. They have several properties for those who do not want to stay at the lodge all the time. They can arrange a night in Kruger under the sky!

The service with regards the booking was efficient and friendly.
All of the arrangements worked out well. We saw several different parks across two countries and all ran as smoothly as could be expected. The drivers were authentically knowledgeable and interested.
I would recommend this company. They do their best to make everything special.

With Wildlife Safaris you are in good hands
My son and I did the 4 day classic Safari. From the first exchanges, through the Q&As, organisational aspects, paperwork and tour itself Wildlife Safaris were responsive, helpful and very professional. We were a group of 6. Hoppy was a great guide, very friendly and good humoured. He was worried that the food at the camp might not be good, but it was perfect. We saw all the big five, and much more: cheetah, hyenas....Standard accommodation (bungalows) was well equipped and tidy. Weather was cold in the morning and evening and pleasant during the day. Day 4 consisted mainly in a quick last safari on the way out, breakfast and travel back. Hoppy is a fast driver who should keep more distance with the vehicles in front. I am satisfied with Wildlifesafaris and happily recommend them.

It's once in lifetime experience. Just amazing and adventurous.
One of the amazing crew with all the relevant experience required. Exceptional Safari, scenery, whether, accommodation, food, transport, guide, locals and other essential commodities all were perfect. No matter from which part of the globe you come here, you will enjoy this with their support and experience. Specially Masai Mara & lake Nakuru.
Cheers,

Great Experience
My wife and I normally traveled by self-drive or train and we have never joined a tour. It was our first time experience of a guided 10 days package and we enjoyed it thoroughly as planning was done by the company and the guide did my normal job as a driver.

Exotic & wild safari
Without focusing much about bumpy & rough roads, Tanzania is fantastic for exotic and wild safari. However, in case we are talking about animal varieties, Kenya has more animal species based on my own experiences. Nevertheless, in term of quantity, Tanzania is the best :)
NZ
It's probably the best I could hope for as a tour. I enjoyed it and thought it was well worth it.
Kenya is a beautiful, geographically varied country. It was much more easy-going and hassle-free than I was originally expecting. Visiting Kenya was a great experience!
