World Class tour operators
5/5

Our experience with Safaris to Tanzania with Dahlia Tours&Safaris was changed our life a lot, their Safari guides were easy to deal with, great communication and always able to answer our questions and offer advice. The Safari was our second in Tanzania but the hospitality and guidance from Dahlia Tours&Safaris was absolutely world Class, you will never know they operated from just last year unless they told you (very honestly).
We book with them very lately but we drop to Tanzania and amazed how everything was ready for us, from accommodation and transportation. Bryson, our driver and guide, and the company director, Brian, was amazing and truly local guides. They are full knowledge about safari and the local community as well, all the time they did their utmost best to make our trip enjoyable, delightful and exciting. We got to see almost everything we wanted, seen Big 5 was our life dream which come true. Our 6Days/5nights Safari was enjoyable I have ever experience.
Their Choice of accommodation for us was very amazing, we slept in tented camps in the Bush, with Lions roars so close during the night! The food was very best and so fresh no one will ever think that they can get that from Africa.
The Dahlia Tours&Safaris team has been nothing but down to earth guides.

Excellent Northern Botswana Classic Mobile Camping Safari
5/5

I booked a Botswana 10 day classic mobile camping safari with Safari Lifestyles, running from Maun via Moremi, Khwai and Savuti, and ending up in Kasane. It was an excellent safari, with a top notch guide and crew, good food and comfortable tented accommodation. The safari lived up to all my expectations, and we saw a lot of wildlife, including all the big cats and the wild dogs. This was my 5th and so far best African safari, after earlier trips in Kenya, Tanzania and Botswana. We were lucky, and had a fabulous guide who could spot even the best hidden bird and animal. The guide knew all bird species in the region, a plus for birders. The trip was also great for photography. Safari Lifestyles was very professional, and quickly answered all pre-tour questions. Based on my experience, I highly recommend Safari Lifestyles as a safari operator.

Trip of a life time
4/5

This was a trip of a lifetime. Mr OT's communication via email was fantastic from day one. He replied to all my questions and concerns. The driver was waiting for us at the airport even though our plane was over an hour late. All of the drivers were more than helpful. The accommodation was great. I would definitely book with them again for my next African safari.

kenya-uganda-gorillatrecking-tanzania-kenya
5/5

Hey we are a couple (29 - 31 years). We booked an individual 16 days safari with a lot of different national parks in kenya uganda and tanzania and gorilla trecking. Because we prefered some more comfortable hotels, we chosed the hotels by our self, which was no problem.Of course it was a little bit more expensive. Also with the route we spoke to Mr Otieno and made an individual route, so we could see everything we wanted. On our trip we had 3 different guides, all of them more less likeable and good driver and guides. We saw all of the wildlife we dreamed of and the gorilla trecking was every dollar worth. All in all the price was very fair but you allways have to look that you do not get cheated. If there are any problems - and of course in africa are some- Mr Otieno and the guides alway try their best to solve them. For those who can not handle with stress I would recommend an more expensive tour organized by an european compamy. If you are relaxed and you can handle with problems I can recommend kenya walking survivors.
Thanks a lot to Mr Otieno and hiy team

Undisputed excellence in service delivery
5/5

My wife and I had a great 12-day private safari with Adventure Backpackers Tanzania(Kenya) on August 2015.
We flew into Nairobi and went to Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli Notional Park and Lake Bogoria and then back Nairobi.
The parks are amazing and you will not be disappointed at all. During our safari, we actually saw more than we expected, from the big migration known as the biggest spectacle on the planet and finally we had a wonderful birding experience at lake Bogoria.
We ultimately chose Adventure backpackers Tanzania (Kenya) because Celestine, the manager and the rest of her team were very responsive and prompt as per service delivery and displayed exceptional patience to meet our expectations and she was always there to make sure that our itinerary is not disported in any negative way whatsoever.
Our guide and driver Sam was friendly and professional. They answered all our questions and even during the safari they told us alot about the animals, local people and the country as a whole. they also knew alot about the animals and seemed skilled at navigating the parks to enable us to get the perfect viewing angle.
I would recommend whoever visiting Kenya to contact Celestine, the manager together with her team for a classic service delivery, efficiency and pocket - friendly rates.
We were very happy and confident with Adventure backpackers Tanzania(Kenya)s' responsiveness from the planning phase to the end and its willingness to design a private safari based around our interests.
everything else from accommodation, the food and communication skills was just perfect due to their flexibility to satisfy us.

It was a marvelous experience for us with excellent safari experience and wonderful stays.
5/5

It was amazing at Samburu, Mara, Nakuru, Nayvasha and Amboseli. The trip arrangements, stay and safari are of superb quality. Yes many of our friend in India are eager to make their African Safari through Kenya Walking Survivors Safari Ltd after hearing our narration about the experience in Kenya. Yes Mr. Otieno I will be coming again to make it to Kenya and Tanzania, as we discussed when met at Nairobi on 29th August 2015
Thanks a lot

Very happy we used Matoke tour company for our Safari in Tanzania.
5/5

Matoke Tours answered all my questions and responded to my emails very quickly. Very professional and easy to work with. We are very happy we choose to use Matoke Tours for our 9 day Migration Safari in Tanzania. Upon arriving in Tanzania we were greeted right away and from there the rest of our tour was wonderful. We had a lovely time and the lodges/tented camps we stayed were clean, good food, relaxing after a long day driving to see the animals, the workers were so friendly and polite. We were sad to leave. Our tour guide Simon was great, friendly and very knowledgeable about the Masai's and all the animals. He could spot an animal that we couldn't even see at first. We saw so many animals including the all of the Big 5, we saw the Wildebeest Migration, many lions, even lion take down a warthog which then came out from the tall grasses more lions/cubs to eat the warthog, Rhino's in the Crater, while lions walked right next to all the jeeps there and so much more. It was above any expectations we had going into the tour. For sure we will use Matoke tours again in the future.

It was a perfect vacation.
Overall rating
5/5

If you just want want to see the big 5, this is not the place for you, as there aren't that many lions and elephants. But if you want to see massive numbers of antelopes, lots of trees and flowers, great birds and butterflies, this is the place for you. Accommodations are reasonable compared to some of the better known parks like Kruger, the food is outstanding, the guides are knowledgeable and friendly.

Mozambique is a great country, and Gorongosa National Park is its crown jewel.
