Best holiday ever!!
The tour was a lot more than we expected, we saw the big five and many... many more animals so close that we almost could have scratch their bellys( lions). We didn’t ;). The service on the lodges was excellent and our tourguide Edwin is the best!!<3

Very professional and personable, good value
I had researched many safari companies, while arranging a safari for 4 people, to see as much as possible in about a week’s time. Roy’s was a very reasonable value, flexible in working with me on tweaking some lodging options (as I had read up a lot of various resorts/camps as well), provided a very professional and accommodating driver/guide, and ensured that we had the experience of a lifetime. Highly recommended and appreciated!

Exceeds Expectations, Highly recommended!
We weren't sure what was the best month to visit, and planned a trip to Kenya only 1 month in advance, to travel in February. We were extremely lucky to find availability with Seven By Far tours- who took care of our every need. Sylvester was kind enough to receive us personally at the airport, even though we got very late because of baggage issues. They put us up in a very comfortable hotel in Nairobi before starting the safari the next day- which really helped us recover from the fatigue and jetlag. Our safari guide Nicholas was very knowledgeable, friendly and kind, and made sure we were comfortable during the long drives to the parks. We were told that a lot of animals have been spotted right next to the driving trails within the parks, and we were surprised to get such good sightings of the big cats- some even on trees. Nicholas took us to the best wildlife viewing spots and spent a really good amount of time which let us watch the animals and get amazing pictures and videos- we were thoroughly satisfied with great sightings in all 3 parks- Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. All the lodges and camps where we stayed at were excellent, comfortable, and we were very pleased by the great food (we are vegetarians) and the staff was very friendly and hospitable. Our last day in Nairobi was also wonderful, which included a trip to the Giraffe center and Karen Blixen museum. Thank you Seven by Far for making this a trip of our lifetime! We will be talking about this trip for many years to come, and we hope to visit again soon with friends and family!

Thank you Rupia Adventure
I recently went on a Lake Manyara/Serengeti/Ngorogoro Crater safari with Rupia's and it was an unbelievable experience. I was joined by my now fiance (I proposed on the safari), my now future mother-in-law and my parents. From the moment we touched down at Kilimanjaro until our return 5 days later, we were treated fantastically well. Our guide Mathias was informative, kind, thoughtful and kept us all motivated to make the most of such an amazing experience. We stayed at both Serena & Sopa lodges and both were excellent. I spent a long time deciding which operator to use for the safari (as there are more than 200), however, my decision to go with Rupia's was well rewarded. As a result, I would recommend Rupia's for anyone who wishes to have an outstanding safari experience.

Our 10 days safari was so well organised, and our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly!!!!!!
Kwanza tours was very very helpful for us during the safari planning days. They responded quickly and answered all of our questions. They were also responsive while we were in the beautiful country Uganda :-)
Wildlife in Queen Elizabeth national park, Chimp tracking in Kibale and gorilla tracking in Bwindi impenetrable forest were absolutely amazing.
The safari accommodations were very nice!, the food at the safari lodges were very delicious! We were very happy and comfortable the entire safari time. We had unforgetable safari. We will be using Kwanza tours again!

Vacation very stressful
I had a very stressful and disappointed experience with this tour and Yoeni Japheth as organizer of this mess. Tour was for 10 nights and after 3 nights many things went wrong. My itirinary was changed had to spend senseless long hours on a bus going back and forth.
itself Yoeni Japheth spoke very bad English and communication with him was exhausting.He was very responsive when he wanted my money but then when trouble arises he went silent. Yoeni Japheth mixed up a lot of things and made my vacation very stressful.
Tour itself is not worth the money. Accommodation in fact is very cheap if you book them directly. Food was very bad.
First night after transatlantic flight I was put in a really horrible hotel and spent sleepless night listening to all night music from next door night club.
I specifically asked how many people will be in a safari car and was told by Yoeni Japheth no more than 7.
In fact there was 9 of us which made the whole trip very uncomfortable.
I do not recommend this Drive Tanzania Ltd company to anyone. Lots of things went wrong and there were lots of misrepresentations of what company is offering. Not worth even remotely the money spent

Great camp, delicious food but guide was just a driver and did not explain anything.
Good communication and very punctual. Excellent food throughout especially at the camp. No water was provided however even though this was supposed to be included. Beautiful camp but guide was utterly useless - very good driver but he did not explain anything at all so really disappointing.

Amazing adventures thanks to Kwanza Tours!
Kwanza Tours tailor made our safari tour to our requirements. We were impressed with their response time and the package was comprehensive and well planned. Our guide and driver Richard really ensured we had the most amazing time. He was particularly attentive and had an amazing amount of knowledge on the wildlife, ugandan culture and geography of the land which he happily share with us. we would highly reccommend Kwanza tours and particularly our guide Richard for an exceptional safari experience.

A life-time experience
This was our fist time in Africa and Gideon Tanzania Safari made our trip one in a life-time experience! We spent three days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and we were amazed by the nature and animals, but mainly by Gideon's attitude of mind - he is good with the animals and kind with people. Indeed, we enjoyed a service with a customer-tailored agenda. Gideon Tanzania Safari has arranged all details for us - from the hotel in Arusha to coffee on the road - during the game. We were humbled by the level of service in the bush camp and pleased by the smooth pace of our trip. We enjoyed talking with Gideon and learning from him about the animals, and about Tanzania and its people.

Excellent!
We had an incredible trip and Afroriginal made the dream of my father come true. I wanted to give him an unforgettable experience but barely knew where to start. Through a colleague I heard about Afroriginal and with all the enthusiastic stories and marvelous pictures I contacted them to see what was possible for us. After various emailing, my numerous questions (which were all answered) they designed a tailor made program which included all our wishes in terms of accommodation, time and budget. Going into Serengeti and staying in a Tented Camp was most impressive, you're in the middle of the nature and we felt being a guest of the wildlife. Afroriginal enriched our lives with all the beauty Tanzania offered. Fay as a guide was amazing, he took up the daily challenge to surprise us with the most beautiful landscapes and variety of animals. It's impossible to describe the feeling, you just have to experience it yourself. Next time I'll put my trust in Afroriginal again easily, they are reliable, flexible and willing to think along with you. I can definitely recommend Afroriginal to everybody who wants to have a trip which stays with you for a lifetime.
