Good Tour
We had a good tour with lots of adventures. Communication with William was good from the beginning. Answers were swift and usually helpful. Were picked up at the airport without any troubles. Lodges/Camps were not high class but all well, clean and fit for the trip you're doing. Food was all fine as well.
The Land Cruiser was a somewhat older vehicle which had quite an amount of milage, but it ran smoothly. One car issue was dealt with, without any interferance to our tour.
Our driver was more of a driver than a guide. With the radio connection he was in contact with others and always tried to get us to the propper spots, however there was hardly any information about the things we see, about the animals and so on. So if you're looking for a guide as well, this might be a consideration
Overall we are happy and would return in case of coming back.

Incredible Safari - Northern Circuit Tanzania
We had a fantastic experience on our 4 night, 5 day safari with Raven Safaris. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater.
George was our guide and he ensured we were not only safe but that we had the best time. He frequently shared his excellent knowledge on the wildlife, surroundings and local culture. His communication skills were great and he was able to answer any question we asked. The jeep was in perfect condition and we thoroughly enjoyed our game drives within the parks, as well as the road trips between them.
Our accommodation choices surpassed our expectations; they were extremely comfortable, with delicious food and amazing scenery.
We were fortunate to see the big 5 and on each game drive, George always made sure we saw an array of animals.
We cannot recommend Raven Safaris enough and are already looking forward to organising a return trip!

Raven Safaris was professional, friendly and fair.
We had an excellent experience with Raven Safaris. We hired a Land Cruiser and driver to take us from Arusha to Ngorongoro Crater and drop us off at the Serengeti. The pricing was fair and transparent. We paid directly for our gas and, even though the park fees were prepaid, we were provided receipts from the parks so that we knew we were not overcharged. Although they preferred cash, they found a way to let us pay with a credit card.
Our driver, Steven, was the ultimate professional. He enlisted porters at the Kenyan/Tanzanian border to guide us through immigration and look after our bags. He gave us geography, zoology, ecology, anthropology, and botany lectures on the hour, every hour. He knew every nook and cranny of every park and negotiated each curve and bump of our journey expertly. As two women traveling alone, we felt safe and cared for.
Steven listened to our every whim and was the pinnacle of patience. He spotted every animal we ever dreamed of seeing and brought to our attention so many more we never knew existed. He watched specs on the horizon and predicted with prophetic accuracy when the wildlife would appear. Steven was not the only guide we had in Africa, but he was THE ABSOLUTE BEST.

Spectacular wild life in Ruaha, helpful guide and relaxing atmosphere
We went on a three day/two night trip at Ruaha and really enjoyed the game drive with Michael! It was amazing how fast we were able to see so many different kinds of animals - we couldn't have imagined! Also we had the impression that Michael really loves the animals and nature, he had a lot of information for us and knew when and where to find the animals.
Special thanks again for helping us buying bus tickets in Iringa after the safari!
The accommodation in bandas and food was fine!

Excellent organisation in an unforgettable trip to Chobe and Okavango
Africa Uncovered Safaris deserves nothing less than a 5-star review for the exceptional experience they provided for us. From start to finish, this company showed reliability, professionalism, effectiveness, and ease of communication. We (me and my 22 year old daughter) did the Chobe & camp site in Okavango and we could not have had a better experience.
We were in the good hands of Muza and Norman, who ensured that our journey was not only safe but also unforgettable, who made us feel like we were exploring with old friends. Their availability was remarkable; whenever we had questions or needed assistance, they were there to provide guidance. Muza's deep knowledge of wildlife, history, and local culture enriched our safari in ways we couldn't have imagined. It felt like we were learning from the best in the field. The insights they shared allowed us to connect with the environment, animals, and the rich history and culture of the region.
Trustworthiness is a precious quality in the travel industry, and Africa Uncovered Safaris embodied it entirely. Since the very beginning, when I have a lot of questions from home, they always responded them quick and effectively and it gave me a lot of confidence, specially being two women, and without experience. I really appreciated it.
I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking an extraordinary safari experience and am grateful to the company, Muza and Norman for all the good care that they put on us.

Amazing & unforgettable
One of the best experiences in my life, everything was perfect. The itinerary of the safari, the animals we saw, the guide, the parks we visited, the hotels...

Excellent
The experience with Meektrails was great. Before booking the trip we had several whatsapp conversations with Paulin to choose the tour 100% to our liking. Once there we were picked up at the airport and spent the whole week with our Spanish speaking guide Michael. The hotels chosen were the same except for the first day when we were given a superior one due to lack of availability. We recommend Meektrails for their treatment, sincerity and management. Our guide Michael was very attentive and did not rest until he found as many animals as possible during the safari.
The tour is totally private, it was a couple tour with a vehicle for just the two of us.
Many thanks to Michael and Paulin.

They will go the extra mile
We went on the 7 day trip with a slight twist (no Lake Naivasha but an extra day at Maasai Mara).
What sold us to this operator was that they were very responsive, transparent about what was possible and what not, and had a competitive price. Pauline also helped us find the accommodations that best suited our needs (I recommend paying special attention to the reviews of the individual lodges).
Our driver John never tired and managed to find the big 5 and many more animals.
All in all great trip!

He is a good person
I had an amazing experience with Ramesa adventures. Their service was impeccable, and the attention to detail in planning my trip was evident. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, making my journey memorable and hassle-free. I highly recommend them for your travel needs!
