Obed was an absolutely outstanding, knowledge, personable guide!
Highly recommend African Big Cats Safaris! This was bucket list and birthday celebration trip and it did not disappoint! Everything was spectacular from our guide Obed, to the accommodations and food, the staff at every camp, and the amount of animals we saw!
Obed is an outstanding guide. He has an answer for everything and taught us so much! He is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, personable, and knows his way around the parks! Do yourself a favor and request him as your guide!
All of the accommodations were amazing. We stayed mostly in tented camps on our 12 day safari which all had solar power, private bathrooms with plumbing and hot water, and comfortable beds with mosquito nets. They even turn down your bed and put hot water bottles in them to warm them up on colder nights. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and I especially enjoyed the soups! They sang for us every night and made my sister’s birthday extra special with a cake and birthday song and then had a dance party!
We saw ALL the animals and many up closer than I could have ever imagined from the safety of our Land Cruiser of course!
It was the trip of a lifetime made easy and very affordable with African Big Cats! Thank you for making our dreams come true!

INCREDIBLE
We will be forever so incredibly grateful for Taswira Safaris. They made our tour experience so unique, genuine and personal. I have travelled a lot, and have never EVER encountered such a high calibre of tour and overall experience. We travelled with our 3 kids and grandparents. Our tour guides Halpha and George went above and beyond at every turn. They catered for all of us with ease - our young kids, their grandparents (and us, the parents, in between!). Behind the scenes Caroline had endless patience to customise our tour experience, answer any questions and make all the bookings etc. All we had to do was turn up! Once again, we will be forever grateful for the Taswira team for giving us a multi generation family holiday we will all never forget!

Excellent experience
We - a family of 4 - had a wonderful 5 day trip to the Chimpanzees and the Gorillas in Bwindi. Everything was perfectly organized and we had a lifetime experience seeing these primates in their wild habitat. The hotels and food was excellent. Our guide and driver Richatd was extremely friendly and helpful during the whole trip

Kenya - Incredible experience from start to finish.
Incredible experience from start to finish.
Beverley accommodated every little request to make this trip perfect - the fabulous Hemingway hotel and activities in Nairobi with private tour guide James, seamless air travel to Masai Mara, very comfortable accommodation at Intrepids (with the BEST food), hot air ballooning experience and our excellent game driver Jonathan.
This is the third trip I’ve booked with Beverley and her team at African Haartebeest Safaris and each time she manages to impress me more.
Highly recommend Beverley for any East Africa Trips.

A professional travel agency that knows Africa inside and out.
We enjoyed both the spectacular nature of Africa and the tasteful luxury hotels.
Our guide was kind and taught us a lot about the animals and Africa, which allowed us to enjoy the trip more deeply!

Flexible, conforting, attentive, they made my experience unique. 100% recommendable.
I booked activities in Zanzibar, a 10 safari in Kenia and Tanzania and lemosho route hike to Kilimanjaro with Honest and zanzi trekking safari. They are based in Arusha, so the stronger points where in my opinion Safari and Kilimanjaro experienced which is managed by them directly. In Zanzibar and Kenia we had other agencies/people involved, this did not influence the experience is merely informative.
About Zanzibar, we got a guide assigned to us that accompanied us during the trip and welcomed us as we arrived to Zanzibar. We got a walk around stonetown and experienced other activities like blue safari, Nakupenda and Spice tour. I specially enjoyed spice tour. During the trip Honest was constantly in contact with us checking on us, this gave a feeling that I specially recommend anyone coming to this country for the first time.
We continued with Safari, we kicked it off from Arusha, where we first met Honest. My entirr experience in this country was unique and perfect thanks to his dedication, no buts, thank you honest and team. After we met him, we launched the safari were we got mixed with other people in a car as usual. The overall experience in the budget safari was very good, what refers to the agency I had a couple comments during pur trip like extra sleeping bags or itinerary changes that where handled on the spot, fantastic customer service.
Lastly, for the kilimanjaro trip, Honest came to greet us on the airport directly, again after a briefing of the trip we kicked it off with Justin. I can say that the kilimanjaro guide was very professional, Justin was a great spedition leader, very experienced and calm. At the end we had some extra costs that he took over as a commercial gesture, that we appreciated inmensely, again making our trip stress free and honoring Honest name.
Only good words, no buts.

Exceptional and professional!
I enjoyed the whole process of booking and doing a safari with Massawe Adventures! Their professionalism and knowledge was absolutely exceptional.
Idda (our trip organiser) went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable trip. She was very professional and couldn’t thank her enough for all the detailed information and for staying on top of things while planning. She made the whole process go very smoothly.
The places she selected for us to stay were very nice and comfortable. We were able to rest well, had good food and didn’t feel rushed despite having only 3 days to cover Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
The tour guide was friendly, very knowledgable and patient. He explained things well and took us to the best places where we could have close up of the animals. He was able to spot animals which we wouldn’t have been able to notice ourselves.
The trip was truly amazing and our family can’t stop talking about it. It will forever be one of the best trips.
Thank you Massawe Adventures!

Professional, courteous, helpful
I booked a last minute tour for Mikumi NP the day before arrival. Kihindo Tours responded promptly to my request and helped me book a one-day tour, with pick up from my hotel in Dar es Salaam. The driver was on-time, professional, and courteous an spoke English. We got tothe park at whcih point the in-park driver / guide took over and was similarly excellent. Hihglights of the animals I saw included elephants, baboons, zebra, giraffe, hippos, and a lion. I highly recommend this operator, I enjoyed the excursion greatly.
