9-day tour through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Natron, Tarangire, and Arusha
Tanzania is a gorgeous country and the destinations we saw were all superb! My husband and I had a private tour. Our favorite part of working with Kili Slopes was by far our guide named Salim. Salim is a young, enthusiastic guide who is very passionate about what he does, truly loves his country and the sights, and has a genuine respect and love for the wildlife. He is also very client-centered, and could read our needs and wants before we even communicated them. We loved every place we stayed at. Kili Slopes had arranged a variety of places for us, from luxury tents and a little bungalow, to very high-end lodges. It was my second time in Tanzania and I personalized an itinerary for us, which Kili Slopes was happy to accomodate. We let them pick the accomodations for us, but I think you can also be involved in that decision making process if you want to.
Of the places we stayed at, Lake Natron is the only one that provided an opportunity to walk around, and we had a Maasai guide whom we found very friendly and helpful. All the other places were mostly Safari by car given the dangerous nature of the animals that live in those parks. My favorite place in Tanzania (and perhaps the world) is Serengeti. Nothing else compares to the vast, endless plains of the Serengeti. Having said that, Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire are both Must-See places.
I highly recommend Kili Slopes for anyone who wishes to get a wide range of Safari experiences all in one trip. I also highly recommend Salim.

Everything we hoped for and more !
The wildlife was incredible and everywhere we looked. We saw all the animals we hoped to see and plenty of them. They all looked very healthy, well protected and respected in their natural environment.
The weather was great; hot and dry. The scenery amazing, exactly as we hoped. Accommodation was varied (some tents and some lodges) and all really good. We especially enjoyed the Mbugani Migration Camp in Serengety as we could hear the animals roaming around at night which made it more exciting !
We chose to use Benson Safaris and everything was very professional and organised from the start with no surprises. They even found and delivered our missing luggage for us at the airport and helped when our flight was cancelled unexpectantly. Our guide Peter was perfect. Well informed, professional and good natured. He is very easy to spend time with; and on safari you need to feel comfortable and safe with your guide as you are in the jeep for very long periods of time !
We didn't really like the trip to the Masai village as it was very commercial but we loved meeting the Hadzabe bush tribe hunter-gatherers and learning about their culture.
We are a family of 5 (3 kids 21, 19, 14) and everyone absolutely loved the experience. We are already dreaming about returning as soon as it's possible ! Thank you Benson, Peter and Tanzania !
South Africa is a glorious unique blend of diversity for all five senses.
My daughter and I had several true adventures in S. Africa. We visited Victoria Falls/Zimbabwe, Sabi Sands near Kruger Park, and
Capetown for New Year's 2019. It began with a rocky start of not being on a hotel pic up list for our for our accommodations in Zimbabwe, to a glorious finish in Capetown where we enjoyed a vast array of outings from Table Mountain to the Winelands. The vacation was too
short as often they are, but the memories are abundant.

6 days unforgetable big cats safari
Our 6 days big cats safari at Serengeti was very unforgettable memory in our life,my wife and i visited Tanzania Nov 2018 and after reviewing different quotes we find Daily Expeditions Limited a reliable company from the first email communication with Frank the owner he was very flexible to help us plan changes to our itinerary, very patient waiting for us for uncertain times, and getting us back after as quickly as possible even at mid night. A welcome, very safe driver. Always happy to chat and share what he know -I'd definitely recommend Daily Expeditions Limited as a super safari company in Tanzania.

An amazing experience with a wonderful tour company.
In December myself and a friend booked a tour to climb Kilimanjaro with Daily Expeditions. They responded to us quickly and professionally. They helped us set up a meeting to discuss anything we would need to prepare in advance, and answer any questions we had. During the hike we had two amazing guides supporting us the entire way. In addition, the cook who came with us served us delicious food. The porters did an extremely impressive job as well. Each day we arrived at camp with our tents completely set up. Overall, we felt like everything on the trip was taken care of, allowing us to focus on climbing the mountain. The guides were friendly and knowledgable, and the trip was reasonably priced. We would highly recommend going with Daily Expeditions Limited if you are considering climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. They will truly provide you with an amazing experience, and you are certainly in safe and more than capable hands!

Excellent arrangements by Kerry of Pembury Tours
Kerry was an excellent professional to work with over the internet. All the arrangements made were excellent. The staff at Shinde camp were very friendly and attended to our every need. The ability to get the laundry done at the camp was most helpful. Simon was our guide and extra-ordinary. A night drive with him was our first such experience and we were lucky to be able to see wildebeests, a hippo grazing, a hyena and a baby jackal. At Chobe Marine Lodge, breakfast was very good but lunch and dinner were of poor quality. The game drives and boat drives on the chobe river were amazing. Pretty was our guide and after hearing that another guide had spotted a leopard, raced our Landcruiser to that spot and we enjoyed seeing a fully grown leopard on a tree limb. Wow!! The David Livingston Lodge was excellent and Victoria Falls tour was memorable.

Exceptional customer service that goes above and beyond and leaves longlasting memories
I'm not really sure where to begin, I couldn't have asked for better customer service from the moment we sent our initial request to post-safari check-in!
We had organised a last minute trip to tanzania giving Alex and the team less than 2 weeks to organise a 3 day safari tour and flights to suit our needs and budget. Needless to say it was a tough ask to get everything confirmed including accommodation availability with the upcoming christmas holidays but not only did they deliver they did everything with a smile also!
Alex was a great communicator and kept me in the loop at every turn (even when things were proving more difficult than initially thought), he gave us a number of options for different locations for tour and then gave us his honest and realistic recommendations about what to see to make most of our limited time.
We ended up visiting Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater on the 3 day tour in a private vehicle. Everything was smooth from pick up at Arusha airport by Mike (our tour guide) and his fellow colleague (sorry i forgot her name!), explaining the itinerary, answering any questions we had about the local culture, packing in as much as we could see in the time we had, clean vehicle, great accommodation, excellent picnic food for day trips, safe driving and comfort. I could go on and on about the great experience we had!
We managed to see 4 of the big 5 thanks to Mike's expert driving skills including 3 black rhinos! We were able to get close to so many animals and never felt we were in danger. I really believe it is so important to have the right tour guide and Mike was definitely that and so much more for us!
Special thank you again to Alex, Mike and the entire Mama Savana team! Your professionalism, kindness and willingness to give us memories for a lifetime was greatly appreciated. We were really sad when the tour came to an end and we had to say goodbye to Mike. We wish you all the best success and we will definitely see you next time we are in Tanzania!
For anyone who is tossing up whether or not to go with Mama Savana, I urge you not to hesitate and get in touch with them. My only regret is wasting so much time looking at different operators when I needn't have worried and Mama Savana were definitely the best ones for the job!
Karibu sana!

Excellent Advice for a Safari in South Africa
Karl was a great advisor for our Safari in a game reserve in South Africa
We started the search late for a period when everything is almost booked, but Karl never gave up and proposed us something that fitted perfectly for our family of 7 from Argentina.
The place, staff and experience was great, and we are very pleased with Karl and Discovery Africa service.
Thanks Karl!
