Bosco was friendly and knowledgeable and an excellent off road driver!
I loved that Abdullie from Wito Africa Safari took care of everything. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania to when we left we were taken care of. Didn’t have to think about anything. Our tour guide Bosco was there to pick us up and take us on safaris . He was friendly and knowledgeable and a very safe driver. Beautiful hotels with all the amenities were booked for us, we are beyond pleased with the whole trip. We felt safe at all times.

Gama was attentive, knowledgeable, caring and friendly.
I HIGHLY recommend Lion King Adventures for all of your safari needs. We did a 8 day budget camping safari. Lion King provided a once in a lifetime experience! This trip exceeded our expectations beyond what we could ever imagine. Nickson was very responsive when communicating throughout the various stages of planning this trip.
Our Arusha city guide, Simon, was wonderful! From the time he picked up us at Kilimanjaro airport to taking us to a cooking class to providing a city tour our first day he was attentive and great.
Our safari guide, Gama, and Kareem the cook were both amazing! Gama with his experience as being a guide provided us with outstanding opportunities to see animals. We were able to get some wonderful shots and videos. He was attentive and considerate with my 75 year old mother throughout the trip. He was knowledgeable and answered any questions we had about the animals and local culture. A wonderful person to be around! Kareem was great with preparing food each day. It tasted great! He hit it out of the park each day.
The hot air balloon safari was magical. The scenery and animals were amazing to see from above. The staff were friendly and professional. And took care of everyone.
The budget safari with camping was a great experience. The staff at each location were very friendly. Being able to hear lions roar to hyena's at night was quite the experience!
11/10 experience! Ask for Gama as your safari guide!

Fantastic safari adventure from an excellent tour operator
5 day tour is a very good value. All day game drives in multiple areas provide a great opportunity to see the big five animals and many others as well. We saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, zebras, giraffes, baboons and more. It was a great trip.

Unforgettable experience
Amazing experience with Kilipath ☺️ From the preparation and the adaptation to my needs, to the follow up of my 2 day safari, and even the care of returning me to the airport. Heavenligth was lovely in each and every moment, being useful and comprehensive with my changes. The safari driver (Ali) did a great job, helping us through and respecting the wildlife (much more than others). Surely, I’ll repeat Tanzania, and obviously with Kilipath

Amazing , thanks to Wislay and Geoffrey.
Our tour to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli was truly amazing. Each destination offered its own unique magic. The communication with the Family Leisure Africa Safaris team was excellent throughout. Both Wislay and Geoffrey were responsible, attentive, and ensured that everything went incredibly smoothly. Overall, it was fantastic value for money. Thank you, Family Leisure Africa Safaris!

James, our tour operator, was very accommodating to all our requests and responsive to our inquires.
This 4- day luxury safari was beyond anything we would have expected. The camp was beautiful, clean, and great service. The game drives were perfectly timed and comfortable. Our host was great. We got to see everything and shared lots of good memories.

Incredible Zambezi trip with these very experienced operators & guides
We travelled as a couple celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. We did the Natureways Mana Shoreline Canoeing trip for 3 days. From the moment we were collected from the tiny dirt landing airstrip in a jeep by our guides it was an adventure! The organisation was incredible - with no wifi or mobile signal anywhere in Mana Pools (except the private lodges) , somehow it all just works perfectly. We were off in our canoes within 2 hours of arrival and got in a thrilling few hours before dusk - a bit wary of all the hippos and crocodiles around, but our guides, Denny & Mark were very cool and totally in control. They gave us so much confidence. Quite a fast current which helped us on our way, even with a brisk wind occasionally against us. We arrived at our first camp to a fabulous welcome from Fanta & all the camp crew. Our tents were up, beds beautifully made & hot water in the bucket overhead for our showers! Every night, a new camp with a fire lit, tents up and dinner laid. It was so tranquil & beautiful - hard to explain the peace sitting round the fire after dinner with just hippos in the river below us chatting away! The food was spot on, porridge or whatever else you might want before setting off early. Always a coffee stop mid morning and then a long picnic lunch in the shade of a leafy island in the middle of the river to avoid the fiercest heat of the day.
The best sunrises and sunsets of our whole Zimbabwe trip, lots of knowledge about the wildlife from our great guides & lots of chat and laughter. The Zambezi is a stunning river, so clean, even though the water levels were very low after a bad wet season so a drought in progress. We saw huge amounts of hippos, crocodiles, waterbuck, elephants, baboons, incredible number of rare storks and birds & eagles.
We cannot recommend Natureways highly enough. We last went with them in 2007 on the shoreline of Mana Pools. We went on this time to do other safaris in Mana Pools, staying in various lodges etc but, although all incredible in their own way, none had the peace & utter unspoilt magic that Natureways gave us in the Shoreline safari. Almost everywhere we went to on land shared the wild animal viewings with several vehicles: on the river in the canoes it was just us, the guides & guests & the animals. We cannot wait for our grandchildren to be a little older so that we can take them & share this incredible time on the Zambezi with Natureways.

Amazing 6-Day Safari Experience with Meru Slopes and Tours!
We recently had an unforgettable 6-day group safari with Meru Slopes and Tours, visiting the Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire Park. The entire experience was smooth and seamless, thanks to Gift Tembo, who expertly coordinated the trip for us. The responses were quick, and the itinerary was planned out perfectly. Hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti is definitely a must too!
The jeep rides were a thrilling adventure on their own, often feeling like a fun rollercoaster! We’re incredibly grateful to our guide, Daniel, who has 20 years of experience. He expertly maneuvered the sometimes tricky roads, ensuring we always felt safe.
The food throughout the trip was delicious, and we were always full and satisfied. The lodgings were also very comfortable, allowing us to rest well each night.
Overall, we had an amazing time and would highly recommend Meru Slopes and Tours for anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable safari experience!
Plus side, don’t forget to tip the cook, driver, those who helped you with your bags or anything else! They tirelessly work with their heart, it’s a lovely sight. People are not pushy, everyone is friendly even at the lodges/hotels/camps we stayed in, we were very welcomed.
Lastly, there are a lot of bathroom stops along the way so stay hydrated with water or the free beers & cokes provided during the tour, as weather can get dry. Bathrooms are so clean too!!
I’m very happy with my 8 days in Tanzania, it was a very unexpected & flawless experience.

Friendly and very responsive
The operator organized everything really well including the parks we wanted to visit for a very good price with all food and water included. A private chef prepared all our delicious food. Our guide Francis was exceptional and took care of us during the entire safari. The operator kept in touch trough WhatsApp throughout the safari making sure that everything was going well. We also saw a lot of animals.

Very friendly
This was a trip of a lifetime and Blingson safaris made everything we could have asked for! From the pickup at the airport to the drop off at the end of the safari it was 5 star service by everyone! Charles, our guide was amazing! It seemed like he knew exactly where every animal was going to be and had tons of knowledge that he shared with us and we loved having the Jeep all to ourselves instead of being in a group of people! If you’re looking for a 5 star safari without breaking the bank then you shouldn’t look any further than Blingson safaris. Thank you Charles and Sarah for the awesome experience!
