An unforgettable close to nature and wildlife experience in North Tanzania
Together with my wife, my sister and my brother in law , we had a six-day safari in North Tanzania with HAPPY WORLD SAFARIS from April 26 until the third of May. It was a 'once in a lifetime experience'. We booked this safari directly with Happy World Safaris after I recieved very good references from a friend who traveled with them before. After a few emails, Joseph Nkony ( the owner) proposed us a program that was fully based on our expectations. It was also cheaper than similar programs that are offered by the travel agencies who operates from Belgium and the Netherlands.
From the moment we were picked up at Kilimanjaro airport everything was arranged perfectly. We didn't have nothing to worry about, the service was great.
The first night we stayed in a hotel in Arusha, and the days after we visited Tarangiri National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorogoro crater. We stayed in lodges and tented lodges, both very comfortable arrangements. Especially the tented lodges in the middle of the Serengetti offer a special close to nature experience.
We spent six days on game drive in a full equiped landrover with Joseph and Tony, the driver guide. They are very experienced in wildlive, nature and ecology and they showed us a very wonderful and intens view on nature and wildlive in North Tanzania. With their experiance spotting ‘the big five’ seemed easy, but they also gave us the experiance of hundreds of thousend Gnoe’s and Zebra’s preparing fort the great migration, a hunting lion and heyena, a juvenile leopard hidden in a tree, giraffes, hippo’s, crocodiles, al kind of antilopes, monkeys, pumba’s, vultures, eagles…. On my demand they also gave a lot of attention at the fenomenal variety of birds living there. They also initiated us in african culture and especially the way of live of the Massai.
Happy World Safaris proved to be a very reliable organisation. During the trip Joseph and Tony became more than just a guide and driver to us. Thanks to their professionalism, their respect for wildlife, nature and African culture, their reliability , sense of humour and warmth this safari turned out to be an unforgetable experience for the four of us. Thank you Joseph and Tony. I’m sure we ‘ll meet again.

Amazing Mobile Safari with Letaka Safaris!
My husband and I travel abroad frequently and we used Letaka Safaris in 2016 for a mobile safari in Botswana. Letaka communicated all of the details to us before our trip, was very responsive, and the service was outstanding! Lucas was also our guide. Out of all of the places we've traveled throughout the world, and we've been to Africa twice so far, the mobile safari with Letaka was by far our favorite. Lucas had the best instincts and could deduce the location animals from the way birds chirped, the smell of something in the air, and other little things that were just second nature to him. The camp was MUCH more than comfortable. I definitely understand the meaning of the term "glamping". The food was great--I'm vegetarian and my husband is a huge meat eater and they provided delicious meals and snacks for both of us. My husband and I agree that the safari with Letaka was not only the best holiday we've taken, but literally among of the best two weeks of our lives. We learned and experienced so much! We also stayed at permanent tented camps and the experience in the mobile safari with Letaka was so much better because we felt much more connected with nature. Hippos and elephants would literally walk past our tent at night. Lucas and his team picked out amazing camp sites that were quit, peaceful, and at some point, at least a couple big game animals would wander into the camp at some point each night. We had an amazing experience that we'll never forget!

Amazing trip to lake Nakuru and Masai Mara
A total of 4 days safary with CATS Africa Tours was way more then we expected it to be.
It was especially our driver Duncan who made it all to a lifetime experience.
He is a great driver in an area that was heavily effected by rain, he knows his way around the reserves, he has great knowledge about the animals, knows where to find them and how to approach them. He is a people person always ready to help others when they get in trouble and will make a detour to give his support (with our approval). Our 4x4 van with all the necessary equipment was of great help!
The accommodations were standard and fine for the trip that we made.

Best experience
Our experience with wildlife safari Exploreans was just amazing. Great communication: weeks before our travel we stayed in contact daily with Mildred, who was so kind to explain us all the details about the safari. She was very polite and professional, and everything during these days went exactly as she told us. The safari itself has been one of the best experience in our life. Well arranged, without any kind of problem or delay and with a reasonable price comparing to other companies. The Jeep was good, the tents were beautiful. But the first place is for our guide, Sammy. He has been just perfect: smart, kind, always on time and precise. It has been a real pleasure for us to spend our week with him. He’s a great, great diver, never rude, always helpful. He loves animals and nature, and his passion is evident when he tells you everything about any single animal or tree you’ll see during your game.

Excellent safari - 100% recommended!
You dive into the nature & beauty of a different world. Pumba provided perfect individual planning, very fair rates & Edwin - the most amazing guide. He knows where to find the big animals and brings you very close to them. We can really recommend Pumba without any exception!
Game drives and accomodations were exceptionally good. Best Holidays ever!
