A must do safari experience add on when visiting Zanzibar
From booking the Safari tour directly with Uwanda Tours, the communication was good from the start. The price was a very good all inclusive package including round trip airport transfers.
We were picked up directly from the airport landing strip and straight into the safari jeep, great welcome and first impressions. The jeep seated 6 but we had it privately for a group of 2 which we loved. Our guide Mr Martin, was amazing, he asked our preferences and did the best job of finding all the animals for us, as well as being very knowledgable and giving lots of useful info about Tanzania, the animals and everything else. The game drive was above all my expectations, i really did have an amazing day, so much so that I will be rebooking for a full safari trip at a later date. The lunch on the game drive was also delicious and I am a fussy eater!
The accomadation provided was spacious and clean, with a lovely pool too. we had lots of visitors - monkeys! all around the resort. my only issue with the resort was that there was no restaurant menu, there was only 1 dish provided for lunch and dinner, so if you have any dietary requirements you will need to prepare in advance.
Day 2, we absolutely loved the Maasai village tour, however didnt love the river cruise, I found it quite boring, so given the choice I would choose a second game drive!
my only issue for the whole trip was the lack of communication at the airport leaving Zanzibar, there were multiple flights, no boarding passes and lots of confusion!
But overall we had an amazing trip and was a great expereince and also great value for money.
highly recommend.

Excellent organization. Individual requests were accommodated without any hassle. A perfect tour, ju
We searched Safari Bookings for a longer tour featuring the highlights of the migration, tree-climbing lions, and horseback riding, and found Destiny Explorers to offer the best value for the money. We were able to easily extend the tour package to 12 days. We were also able to adjust the accommodations without any issues. The tour itself went 100 percent smoothly. There were a few minor issues with the vehicles. The first one broke down after just one day, and the second one wasn’t up to the task. But that didn’t detract from the trip. We’ve traveled through southern Africa several times before and wanted to escape the mass tourism that is, unfortunately, very prevalent in Tanzania. Our driver, Nico, understood this after just a short time. Even though we didn’t always follow all the other vehicles, we saw everything we wanted to see. The selected lodges were all great. We highly recommend the Tarangire Simba Lodge. Here, we suggest taking a day to relax—not going on a safari, but simply enjoying the lodge and the animals. We also recommend a walking safari in Tarangire. All in all, a fantastic experience. The only downsides were the mass tourism (of which we were, unfortunately, also a part) and the often reckless driving of other tour operators, such as Tanzania Specialist. We can wholeheartedly recommend Destiny Explorers.

Moloko was very lively, engaging and informative.
It was a good experience. It was very organized and seamless from pick up to lunch and the safari itself. Moloko was very good at helping us spot the animals and explaining what they were.

Melita made sure we saw a great variety of animals on our first day of safari in the Serengeti. He is an excellent driver and manages to get to the best spots very quickly, especially considering how bumpy the roads can be!
The public campsite in the Serengeti where we stayed did not have hot water and was not particularly clean, but it was good enough to wash off all the sand and dust after the day.
The tents provided by Suricata Safaris were spacious and very comfortable, and our chef prepared delicious lunch, dinner and breakfast.
Overall, we are very satisfied with our first day with Suricata Safaris and are looking forward to the rest of the safari!

An amazing experience ! that we will never forget. The guide Fidelis is excellent and funny, speaks fluent English, explains everything in detail, brings us to the best places and knows where to go to see the craziest animals. We were with other very nice tourists, so the experience was even better. The place provides accommodation. All the other staff are nice and always looking to help. What I would improve is the whole point of the pick-up and return to the hotel. This should be included in the price without any problems. We had to arrive independently because they asked us for an extra fee to get to the location in the center and it was a 6-minute drive, and on the way back, the hotel was in the city, just far from the center, so we had to get organized. In any case, I still recommend them, a good company. ;)

Very kind people and nice Safari!
The company is very good!! We loved the food, the cook did it fresh every day. We did a five day Safari which i would recommend!! We saw soo many nice animal and the guide was good in finding them. Our guide Steve knew a lot about the nature and animals and we could ask everything.
One thing which was a little bit confusing is that our order of the itinerary changed during the trip. Sometimes we had some waiting times for people with other itineraries or had to pick them up somewhere. But all in all very well organised, nice tents and very kind people!! I would recommend!

Organized Safari and Great Accommodations Booked.
We booked a 10 day Kenya and Tanzania safari with Afrishare Trekking and Safaris and had a good experience. Every accommodation—Sopa Lodges, Central Serengeti Luxury Camp, Eileen’s Trees Inn, and Green Mountain Hotel—was comfortable, welcoming, and well run. The itinerary was smooth, the wildlife viewing was incredible, and our guides were knowledgeable and accommodating throughout.
If I were to do a safari again, I would not go for as long as the parks do get repetitive and I would fly into different areas. It is a lot of driving for 10 days.
Our Guides were Sam, Eunice in Kenya and Haji in Tanzania.

Dynamic and curious
We really enjoyed how well our guide knows the park. He told us we would see the Big Five, and we did!!! It was fun talk with him.
Richard is the best!!!
