The team was very friendly and welcoming, we spent amazing time despite the weather
My friend was the one who arranged our safari, but the response from Wakanda team was quick and well-detailed. Bortho picked us up from the airport on time. The accomodation during the safari was nice. Our driver/tour guide was professional and really nice, he knew a LOT about the wildlife there and was very good at spotting animals. We managed to see the big five and even more. Our chef was good too, he prepared great and varied meals. We never had a shortage of water or food.

it was like planning a trip with a friend
It was a pure joy to plan our safari with Tunu. She was always there - online, writing quick responses with thorough descriptions of situations or things. And not only, She really steps a extra mile to make your visit to Kenya memorable and wonderful. Her compliance and understanding is so heartwarming. These qualities are so appreciated if you plan your trip from far away.
Not knowing the country one can ask for things that are not reasonable to do or want to do in terms of time it takes to achieve this or that. And Tunu appoints this out and makes her own suggestions.
She came to meet us several times in Diani Beach resort explaining things that waited us ahead next day and have a little chat . Lovely.
She even made a birthday surprise for me. So heartwarming.
Our safari driver, Badri - he was kind and cheerful and helpful man, who loved to answer our millions of questions about everything we saw on our way. He knew a life and nature and we are so grateful to him for a fuller picture of their country. The same goes for Tunu also.
So, Tammy Tours made our stay in Kenya happy and cheerful. It was pure and very very fortunate chance that we found them. And we recommend them to everybody. They really make you happy and your visit to Kenya wonderful!

It was great experience with their team, especially those tends set up in Amboseli. Cheap & Best
It was really good experience with Big Time Safari. Actually i had opted for package which included Food, Lodging and transportation. They arrange it well and all on time. I would highly suggest someone to try them and experience. Our guide cum driver was very talkative and birdwatcher himself, so he could spot animals and birds very easily. Also he always tried his best to reach to the animals (keeping safe distance). Tents inside the jungle were amazing. Food was not that great but when it comes to a traveller, whatever you get to eat is very much. Since the package they are offering is value for money and you would not dis-satisfied.

Amazing and unforgetable.
I booked this as a solo tour and was immediately impressed by my guide, Daniel from Donak Safaris, who also quickly became my friend. He went above and beyond to ensure that I had the best experience I could have and I saw some amazing things. I asked over 1,000 questions and he answered each one with enthusiasm just as excited to tell me the answer as I was to hear it. Bonus, an onboard fridge full of cold beer mixed with large animals... best experience anyone could imagine.
Like many people, I had lots of questions and jitters about going away. Through email before leaving all of my questions and concerns were answered almost instantly (allow for time difference). Soul of Tanzania did an amazing job booking me the best accommodations I could have imagined.
Bonus, eating a hot lunch with a bottle of wine 10 feet away from a pond of bathing hippos.

Amazing honeymoon in the wilderness
I want to thank you for all you did for us. The journey was absolutely perfect on all aspects! We had some very good time with the walking safaris, the staff of Elephant had lodge were lovely and the activities around Queen Elizabeth national park were amazing.
My proposal went absolutely well. Our room had been prepared with flowers, chocolates, strawberries, some sparkling wine and a nice warm bath. Really romantic!
Thanks a lot.

Travel company: Dancing Zebra Safari Company
This was my fourth trip to Africa and the most rewarding. Jessica from Dancing Zebra met with us twice (we live in the same city) and went over all the details and delivered everything on the itinerary, even when she had to do some last minute shuffling around so that we would have a night time game drive. She is very good in planning trips and specific itinerary. She knows Africa, and especially Tanzania.
And Ian, our Guide/driver was excellent. Almost always, he found the animals we set out looking for, even wild hunting dogs, which are very rare in the Serengeti. The Serengeti is huge, but he knows it like I know my backyard. He was giving directions to several other drivers who were lost. He is the best guide I have had in all my trips!
Very happy with Dancing Zebra and Jessica and Ian.

5 days in Uganda
My friend Priscila started to exchange emails with Justus an year ago, and since the beginning he was always impeccable on the responses. He was 24/7 ready to reply all our questions and doubts.
The actual trip was amazing and perfect!
Julius, our guide was always very polite and helpful and willing to show us the best of Uganda.
The safari was over our expectation, we were able to spot many animals, even a Leopard. Thanks for Julius persistence!!!
Both hotels (Rushaga and Pumba Safari Cottages) were very good, but Pumba Safari was also an unique and great experience, all staff was very pleasant.
Leaving the best to the end...
The opportunity of being close to the Gorillas and watch them peacefully in their habitat is very powerful. It is impossible to describe the emotion in words. The Bwindi team that dedicate their lives to save and preserve those animals are real heroes!
It was indeed a life changing experience!
Thank you Justus and Julius for all!!!!!

Look no further!
I conducted research for weeks, contacting at least 100 safari tour operators over the span of a month and through all the hard work and research - I decided upon Kili Slope led by David. I have absolutely no regrets regarding this decision. The safari went without a hitch day by day. We thank David and Ziggy for this. For more details -- read on!
The price we were provided for the duration and private safari was extremely competitive, David was also very transparent regarding costs and one of the very few who accepted credit card as a method of deposit payment! David worked with us, we wanted Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire in a short time frame. David assured us he would construct an itinerary that worked... and that he did! He made sure our itinerary was custom to our wants and desires not what would be easy for him and his team -- and for that David, I thank you!
We requested mid range and to our surprised David upgraded us to a luxurious accommodation one night in the Serengeti as he was watching the rates and noticed a drop in price for the night we would be there, he booked us an incredible 5* luxurious accommodation -- at NO extra charge for us. This is only one of many examples of the owner at Kili Slope going above and beyond for his customers. ALL the mid range accommodations were amazing, great food, comfortable beds, immediately hot showers, full breakfasts, great views, great lunches to go - amazing dinners, I could go on!
Another example I must share, due to our short safari duration, every minute of our trip counted, on our way to Tarangire, we were to make a credit card payment at the park to proceed (as is expected with anyone going through the park). To my surprise, my financial institution blocked my credit card for use while in Tanzania, my financial institution was closed at the time as Arusha is 8 hours ahead. The time they would open would be in ~3 hours, stressed and frustrated - Ziggy contacted David. David, wanting us to make the most of the time allotted, went to his personal bank and conducted a bank transfer to the national park on our behalf. He did this without being asked by us, he did this on his own. We were then able to proceed immediately. We contacted our bank once opened and our card was finally good to use in Tanzania but David did not want us to bother with paying him back until we completed our safari, he wanted us to enjoy our safari - which we did.
You will not find too many people like David. I believe we lucked out deciding on this tour operator - but this is what research and dedicated time will do for you! We didn't decide to just look at the top 10 tour operators on tripadvisor, we didn't just google search "safari tour operators Tanzania" -- we went digging and found THIS GEM!!!!
The experience was incredible --- we will do another Tanzanian Safari in the future and will LOOK NO FURTHER THAN KILI SLOPE!!!
I could go on and on about how incredible the owner David is, but I need to add that not only was David outstanding, but our guide Ziggy? Out of this world! Please when you do the safari request Ziggy as your guide -- you will be so glad you did. He is a knowledgeable, kind and because we did so much driving, it's important to note he is a SAFE driver! He is extremely professional and punctual -- always early and ready for the day! Because of Ziggy we saw 4 out of the big 5 within a few hours and finally saw the Rhino at Ngorongoro! We saw so many animals, a hunt, so many prides -- all because of Ziggy!
We truly felt at peace with Ziggy present.
Please message me if you have any questions and again if you're looking for a tour operator -- stop your search, look no further and go with Kili slope. You will have ZERO regrets.
