Just Excellent!
We had such a wonderful time in Tanzania!! Desiree really understood our interests and together with Fay they made our wishes come true, everything just seemed possible! They go the extra mile and thanks to afroriginal we didn't have to worry about a thing, everything was perfectly arranged from arrival unto departure. Also our driver/guide Fay had so much knowledge about wildlife and environment, we really learned a lot from him during our safari's. Also the accommodations recommended by Desiree where perfect and very comfortable. We are very happy that we have booked this trip of a lifetime with Fay and Desiree!

Very accommodating, tour manager Christina was fabulous, and our tour driver, Kirenga was perfect.
I researched five different tour groups, and Destination Jungle was by far the most communicative, honest, and professional group I dealt with. The price was very competitive, and they were the most responsive. Our driver, Kirenga, was one of the most informed, intelligent, and accommodating drivers. When there was a "glitch" in the weather which thwarted some plans, he immediately found alternate plans that were amazing- a personal visit to a small village! We will certainly use them again, and are recommending DJ to all our friends and fellow travelers.

The best challenge of one's life
As the coordinator of a trip for 5 to climb Kilimanjaro followed by a safari, I can say the communications with the Africa VIP Travel were nothing less than timely, informative, clear and professional. When we arrived to Kilimanjaro airport and all through our 2 weeks with Africa VIP, the communications and service from everyone was terrific. Kambona runs a wonderfully organized operation and it is clear his number one priority are his customers, followed closely by his employees. He and his guides were clearly concerned when anyone on the climb didn't make it to the dining tent in a timely fashion. Someone always checked in to see if everything was ok. We knew they were all looking out for us. On the safari we had great accomodations and wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly guides and staff. At one point we learned that the hotel we were scheduled to return had a water line break. Kambona very seemlessly transferred us to a differ hotel just 10 minutes down the road that was of equal quality. He was very transparent with us every step of the way, from the day we booked our trip all the way through to the day we left. The whole trip exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Africa VIP Travel to anyone looking for a Kilimanjaro climb expedition and safari.

Wondeful Tarangire day trip with family and friends
On celebrating my daughters birthday this year we arranged with friends to have a day trip to somewhere nearby Moshi or Arusha but could not figure out the exact place until i make a call to my favorite safari company , malasons Tanzania Safari.
The moment i mentioned bout the intention they immediately asked me for just twenty minutes to send me the itinerary proposal and in short than 20 minutes i was with my wife smiling over the proposed Tarangire national Park day trip as all was professionally designed to make us enjoy.
We called our friends and confirmed the trip and we got on 4x4 vehicle the following day and start the journey to Tarangire where we spent the whole day enjoying and celebrating.
We real thanks the malasons Tanzania Safaris team for making it memorable and enjoyable for me, my family and friends.
Their services was real supper from the new and well maintained safari vehicles, lunch boxes, drinks and guides.
I highly recommend Malasons Tanzania Safaris & Tours for all East African, and particularly Tanzania Tours and Safaris.

Awesome safari, flexible operator
Jackson was very open and patient with all our questions and flexible to change accomodations (before we starded our trip).
We met our driver-guide Victor with his car before we finaly booked the safari. During the trip, we enjoyed his knowlege about lokal plants, animals and traditions. Besides, he arranged the day to suit us, in case we wanted to stop somewhere to buy snacks or souvenirs or for pictures or toilet ;)
An excellent experience!
Just wanted to say that Hallmark Travel Planners were wonderful to work with. I took a group of 10 people on Safari the first of March 2014. The drivers that took care of us were top notch from start to finish! The lodge that Levis recommended for us was the perfect place to end our trip!
Levis was also extremely helpful in the planning phase of this trip. I would say that everything lived up to or exceeded our expectations! I will say this, the roads into the Masai Mara are a jostling experience, I would recommend flying in to whatever gaming lodge you are staying at (if that is an option). I have never experienced roads quite like that in all my travels, rough is an understatement. But our drivers were great to take us the best way possible! Thank you for that. All in all, an excellent company and experience all around.
Great trip!
Dear Kambona,
I am writing this email to thank you for the wonderful time we had with your company while we were in Tanzania from February 24, 2014 to March 11, 2014. I also tried to post a review on your website, but I must have done something wrong.
You and James did a WONDERFUL job in making this trip the trip of a lifetime! Your knowledge of the Tanzanian and Masai culture, as well as your knowledge of all the different animals we saw, really helped us appreciate all that we experienced on our trip. The hotels and campsites that we stayed in were very comfortable, and our food was first rate. If anyone asks, we will recommend your company, and we already have to our dentist (you may be hearing from him soon). Thank you again for all that you did.
Sincerely,
Kay & Brad Ames

Beautiful Lake Natron
After a few great days with lots of wildlife in Serengeti I & my daughter travelled with Jesse from Naenda Safaris through Klein's gate, passing Wasso and Loliondo to the beautiful Lake Natron. This is an incredibly beautiful place with the view on the vulcano Ol Doynio Lengai, visits to the waterfalls and the lake with flamingo, walking with and talking to the Maasai. We stayed at the very nice and green little 'Worldview' campsite of the maasai Joni. I picked out Jesse & Naenda safaris myself in Moshi, and was very happy with his organization, the good car, the relaxed and secure way of driving and his good experience in telling about all the wildlife. Nice meals & a good nights rest. The best way to go on safari is to prepare yourself and know what you like to visit. Thanks, Jesse!
