Review about Tanzania by Rich Vliet
I would highly recommend Tanzania as a safari destination. We traveled through both Kenya and Tanzania on our safari, and both countries had amazing things to experience and see during our trip.
Our overall experience in Tanzania was incredible. We stayed in 3 different lodges (all part of the Sopa chain). The accommodations at all 3 locations were excellent. Our transportation was great - we used Grumeti Expeditions in Tanzania, and our driver was excellent, and had extensive knowledge of the country, parks, and wildlife. We never had a question not answered to our satisfaction.
The wildlife was incredible - we saw so much more than just the "Big 5" (Cape Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant, Lion, Leopard), and the variety of terrain (from the vastness of the Serengeti plains to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater) made it even more amazing. We were very pleasantly surprised at the overall variety of birds that we saw, and the beautiful colors in them.
About the only negative (and this is not major in any way) was that toward the end of our trip, the food was beginning to get a bit predictable and boring - the types of lodges and camps we stayed in pretty much served similar meals, and it was hard to find much variety. But overall the food was very good, so that is just a very minor complaint in what proved to be probably the best trip I have ever been on.

Great weather and the overall wildlife experience plus people's hospitality levels
Review about Kruger National Park by Drew C
Kruger is amazing but you're stuck to the roads. For a more entrenched experience, try visiting Sabi Sands.

Most Amazing Family Vacation
Thank you Kathi Simon for our amazing, unforgettable family vacation. It was just the kind of vacation that we needed. It's been 2 weeks since we've been home and we are still talking about our vacation like we just arrived yesterday. I'm writing to you because my family and I would like to thank you for making our vacation a truly unforgettable experience. We love South Africa, we love Cape Town (we didn't even get to visit Table Mountain) and Arathusa Sabi Sands was just a different kind of experience. We have probably seen most of the animals at zoos but seeing them in their natural habitat, its just awesome. We even joked amongst ourselves that we should save so that we could buy a property in Cape Town. :) Well maybe we'll just email you and book another trip again someday. Reese was a great guide, took us to places where we could take great pictures and buy some african art souvenirs aside from being very knowledgeable. And at the safari our ranger Brandon and tracker Roy were also very accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks again Kathi and it was nice talking to you on the phone.

This was by far the greatest travel experience of my life and probably the most incredible hotel I've ever stayed in. The staff were very friendly and extra accommodating, the early morning safaris were out of this world. From what I understand, this is one of the only places on earth that you can get this close to the animals.

Memories of Amazing South Africa to last for a lifetime! Best travel agent experience ever!
Planning a trip from the other side of the planet is not always easy! Furthermore, having total confidence in a company you have never dealt with is even more scary! From the moment we sent an e-mail to African Welcome Safaris to start planning our dream vacation to South Africa and the initial response we got from our wonderful agent, Kathi, we knew we were in good hands! We provided her with our interests, budget and she managed to put together the trip of our lives! We will forever cherish the memories African Welcome Safaris put together for us! We will certainly recommend African Welcome Safaris to our friends and family! Thank you for everything!

Review about Tanzania by Sarah
Tanzania is an amazing country with very kind people and you feel generally safe out there, so much to see and do and the scenery is spectacular. really miss it and 10 days was not enough to split between there and Zanzibar. would definitely go back again.

Review about South Luangwa National Park by Lushine
Very good game viewing, travel destination and amenities. There may be more scenic areas in Southern Africa, but South Luangwa is huge so everything is there - may just take a little more effort on the part of your guide to find everything.
Review about Kakamega Forest National Reserve by puumaya
One of the few remaining primary rainforests left in Central Africa. Listening to the bonabos call in the early morning mist is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had.

Amazing Honeymoon
A truly amazing honeymoon touring around Northern Tanzania. Safari Infinity was great at helping me plan the trip, Lucia was super quick to respond to questions and helped narrow down the best accommodation for our budget. Our guide was extremely professional and knowledgeable about wildlife and we managed to see the big five! I wish I could go on vacation with Safari Infinity right now!
