Review about Tanzania by vicente
Tanzania is a very humbling place that really changes the way you think about life. We saw many wildlife and unforgettable sceneries. The Tanzanian people really truly know how to live life to the fullest and are some of the warmest people I've encountered.

Brief safari in Kenya
We visited Kenya for a few days before going to Tanzania. We spent some time in Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara Park. All safaris were excellent and although I had heard a lot about Tanzania surpassing Kenya in wildlife, we had similar experiences. Fantastic landscape, lots of wild animals and birds, and excellent service from Serene East Africa Safaris. I recommend a 4x4 Jeep and not a van, because the roads are not in good condition. Finally, we visited Mombasa, which really did not meet our expectations, we found Zanzibar much better.

Reliable company
We are not the first time in Kenya, so we made a program for our trip and sent it to ten companies. George proposed us the best price at the best conditions. We had a private tour for three persons and luxury lodges in four National parks. Our driver Jakob was a very professional driver and a good guide. He is calm, patient, knows the parks very good. The most important, Jakob knows great the behavior of the animals. He was following all our wishes. He was looking for the animals better than most of the other drivers and we saw a lot of animals first. And he is a real hardwoker - we spend so much time at game drives that we couldn't spend more - thanks to Jacob.
The tour was well organized. Our flight landed at 3 a.m. and Jacob and George met us with a car. So we left early from the airport (around 6 a.m.) directly to safari avoiding Nairobi. The car was a mini-van. It is quite decent, the seats are comfortable and there was no major breaks. Jacob could use the maximum the car can provide! :)) The hotels were booked as agreed. Overall, the program was done completely.
The final conclusion: Right choice tours and safaris is a reliable company that is able to organize for you a good customized safari at the best price. Jacob is a very good drive who tries to make the best for your trip.

You must visit South Africa!
I went to South Africa with my boyfriend for our first safari and as our first "overseas trip" as well, so we were very excited, but we didn't know ecxatly what to expect. Well, everything surprised us in a very positive way. We visited the Kruger National Park and had the unique opportunity to see many of the animals we knew only throught the Discovery Channel very close! We saw all the Big 5 and many wonderful animals more (wild dogs, hienas, hippos, birds, zebras, giraffs, impalas, kudus...). All the game drives we did were fantastics! Besides that, the accomodations were very confortable, the food was delightful and our guide was amazing, sharing all his knowledge and being able to find all the animals.
Everything was much better than I could expect. I surly recomend Wildlife Safaris! :)

Professional and always willing to please
Brian was a very knowledgeable and vigilant tour guide. He has a fantastic memory and was able to name the vast variety of birds and animals on our 12 night tour of Tanzania. He does not know how to say 'No' and went out of his way to meet our requests, which exceeded all our expectations.
We saw the Big 5 and the Little 5 and the tour was able to tick all the boxes for my husband and myself. as this was our first trip to Africa. We travelled with another couple, our very good friends from Virginia (USA) and all of us had a fantastic time. The accommodation and food was excellent and the communication from Brian was clear and helpful. I am not a camping person and am generally fussy with my food but I had no complaints. Brian promptly responded to all our emails and text messages and the tour was very well organised. We went on to Kenya to see the wildebeest crossing which was truly amazing. A must see.
This was a trip of a lifetime. Thanks for the memories Brian-it was a memorable trip.

Uganda is definitely worthwhile to visit.
"E-Trip Africa" was fabulous. Ben, the owner, was great to work with. He was so helpful in suggesting variations from the suggested plan. Milton, our driver/guide was excellent. We have traveled many times and at first were a little nervous going with a company that the only information we had to go on was that we had gathered from the I/N. Everything went so smoothly. Milton was so efficient, knowledgeable, and took such good care of us. The scenery was great, both the Chimpanzee and Gorilla treks were outstanding and all the accommodations were very good. Great choices and well researched by the company. We had plenty of good food and a never ending supply of bottled water. We were very sad to leave Milton after 7 days as during that time we felt we had made such a great new friend. Ben, the owner, even made a special trip to visit us at our hotel in Arusha, Tanzania after our tour with his company. We would highly recommend E-Trip Africa for any East Africa Travels.

If you want to experience the real heart of Africa, this is a must do Safari with the best Co.
We travelled from oz and experienced so much I could write a book. The co is gr8 to deal with, everything they planned for our 8 day Safari from Hotel in Arusha to side trip to Moshi prior , esp our drivers, for our two Safari 4x4's & they were fantastic drivers/ guides, true gentlemen. Our driver was Godlisten....and v skilled offroad & on everything animal, flora & fauna....we saw it all, the big 5 & loved our night stays in deluxe Safari tent resorts which in some cases were huge, with en suites, all meals included were gr8 too.....we visited parks on the way to the Serengeti & back & stayed in two lodges too. One being the Lobo Lodge in the magnificent Serengeti, they arranged a balloon ride at dawn over the Serengeti that we wanted to do too, I must do even tho its expensive at $ us 500ea it is something priceless & which we will never forget...floating above the acacia trees in the early morning haze! ........we didn't want it to end and would return again if we could. Since our trip, we have had two of our friends and our son has had 3 work clients take the same Safari ...all raving about it and best if all it won't bust your budget either it was v reasonably priced and true value too, unlike the glossy travel biggies that charge twice as much. If u have any questions & want to see pix do contact us via pm on Face Book under me CB.

super!!!
Nous sommes réellement content de notre safari organisé par mwajabu. Vous pouvez lui faire confiance, les yeux fermés, elle est trés joignable via whatsapp, elle fait tout pour votre confort et que tout se passe bien !
Les chauffeurs étaient super! le guide mickael, francophone et tellement gentil.
Nous avons logé à hippo camp , nous pensions faire du camping mais nous avons eu de la chance, il y avait peu de gens donc nous avons eu un bungalow, ne vous attendez pas au grand luxe , mais il y a le nécessaire, pour se laver et dormir.
La nourriture était trés bonne. Concernant le safari, nous avons fait 2 demi journées, nous aurions aimé faire un peu plus, nous avons vus des girafes, des zebres, des gazelles, des gnous, hippopotames, crocodiles , phacochères et des lions ... nous n'avons pas eu la chance de voir des éléphants mais bon ça reste un voyage magique gravé dans nos mémoires .
Petit conseil pour ceux qui iront à selou et qui souhaitent finir leur séjour par zanzibar, il y a un avion qui fait le trajet ( 30 mn ) tous les jours moyennant 200 dollars par personne. vu le retour en voiture a dar es salaam ( 5H30 ) et apres en bateau ( 2H) pour aller a zanzibar, nous aurions du prendre cette option.

Stunning wildlife, untouched nature, friendly people.
The weather was perfect, warm days and cool nights. Staying in the bush at lodges was an amazing experience- wildlife right outside your balcony! Food was delicious, and restaurants were always accommodating to my food allergies. Our guides did their absolute best to find our favorite animals (giraffes and rhinos)!

More amazing than I could have wished for.
I wanted to take a safari on my own and many of the safari outfits wouldn't work with me, some wouldn't even respond. Brain at Ecological Wilderness Adventures not only worked with me and my schedule but gave me a great pice for my week long safari. I could tell just from working with Brian that I was in for an experience of a lifetime.
The lodging was excellent at every location. Each meal was delicious and the service was fantastic. I especially loved the bush tent camp in the Serengeti. I will say at times it hard to sleep in the tent because you could hear the hyenas and even lions outside, very exciting! Even with that I always felt safe and that I was in good care.
My guide, Jared had a great eye for spotting animals and getting me in a good spot for a picture. Jared was very knowledgable about the animals and history of all the places we went. He was good company and went out of his way to ensure I had a great time. The sights, sounds, and memories will be with me for ever.
From start to finish I couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one I had with Ecological Wilderness Adventures.
