Safari - packed with adventures!
We went on a three week safari with EWA to many parks in Tanzania. We saw all the birds and animals and found ourselves in the middle of the great wildebeest migration, wow. A very cool part of our trip was visiting four different tribes, including the Hadzabe hunter gathers. Our guides were first class and able to provide information on animals, birds, flora, history and geology of the countryside. Accommodations and food were excellent and tailored for those with special food needs. We have done some high end tours to Antarctica, Arctic, Galapagos, Bhutan, Sahara, National Geo etc. and Brian and his staff certain match or exceed the best. The tour was customized to match up to our eight member group and all the members personal need.
The trip was so fantastic for birds its convinced me to take birding up - I recorded over 200 species of birds, most with good pictures with a modest lens.
Each day seemed to top the next with new adventures and sights. Even our last drive to the Serengeti airstrip produced a pride of lions with three month old cubs and a leopard hunting through the tall grass. A great send off to a wonderful trip.

Once again perfect organized! At all places we wanted to visit the perfect accomodation was suggested and we had no problems with any oft the bookings. We had a great time, however, the trip (again) was much too short, means, we are planning the next trip and we'll do it with you again! Many thanks and kindest regards, Klaus

Our safari with Usambara Expeditions: punctual, dedicated and knowledgeable
For our two week early March 2016 Kenya - Tanzania trip we wanted to see friends, do all travel over land by bus, get some safari feel in Tanzania's Northern Circuit but focus on Ruaha National Park in the South and wrap up with Zanzibar beach days. Bookings were done from abroad, choosing Tanzanian companies based on reviews: we had no prior experience with any of them. Ultimately this means trust and with Usambara for our Ruaha safari that played out very well. So much so that after the safari they also handled our getting from Iringa (town closest to the park) to Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar and eventually back to Dar's international airport: a company that also handles your getting from A to B in a tailor-made way proved a real bonus.
Given that our time of visiting was not the best to spot game - long grass, dense bushes - the Usambara guide being local to this part of Tanzania nevertheless tracked many: unforgettable encounters with lions. lionesses and elephant families in particular. Ruaha National Park is firmly on our list for next time - be it in a different season.When that happens Usambara Expeditions will be our choice of safari company again.

Wonderful trip to Massai Mara and Lake Nakuru
We had a great safari with suburbs adventures - many animals, much laughter and fun. Our driver was fabulous and did his best to show us as much as possible. Lamech did everything for us to feel comfortable and was absolutely reliable. Any questions before our journey he always answered immediately and kindly. I do highly recommend "Suburb adventures" !
Thank you so much, Lamech and staff

Exceeded all expectations!
My two cousins and I were traveling in South Africa for 2 weeks. We booked a two day safari in the Kruger park with Kruger Flexi tours and could not have had a better experience! It really exceeded all of our expectations and was one of the very highlights of our trip. Our guide Dave was so nice and accommodating and he knew exactly where to go to see as much wild animals as possible. We saw the big five both days of the safari! One of the best experiences of the safari was to encounter two lions only 2 m from the car, wow! Our accommodation in the park was also really nice. The three of us shared a bungalow with our own bathroom, very nice and clean. In the evening we went for a night drive with a guide from the park and when we got back Dave had prepared a lovely dinner for us. We felt very well taken care of and had such a wonderful time! We would definitely recommend Kruger Flexi tours. Thank you so much Dave! :)

We had a wonderful experience and got to see all the animals that we requested to see.
Mwajabu Sultan did an excellent job in communicating and setting up our safari. Our driver was fantastic and knew just where to go to see the animals we wanted to see. He made sure we had everything we could possibly need and took care of us. This was a phenomenal experience.

Amazing Experience with an Amazing guide
Our safari with Epic Tours was absolutelly amazing, the guide was the best we have ever seen. We had a lot of fun during our trip to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Sereneti and Tarangire as Eli was not only proffesional, but passionate about the wild. We saw all animals that we wished to see and also a great insight of Tanzania as the guide was very informative about the country.
Thank you Ezekiel and Eli for great time with you in Tanzania

Excellent Safari ! A lifetime dream satisfied....
We enjoyed a four-day safari with African Scenic Safaris.... It was nothing short of excellent! The initial information provided by Amanda was accurate and helpful.... The guide, Tom and the cook, Charlie were the greatest, informative, friendliest, and the most humorous people you could ever meet... Tom provided so much interesting information and Charlie's cooking was sensational (both in quantity and quality)... we actually don't east this well at home.... we saw every animal and learned so much..... the campsites were good, clean and so much fun... We planned nothing as it was all done for us, but if we did plan a safari, then this was an excellent plan!.... The only animal we did not see on safari was a jaguar... but as we were leaving there was one wandering down the road towards us! (How did you guys organise that? LOL.... It almost waved goodbye to us!).... My only suggestion: give Tom a microphone as it was sometimes hard to hear him in the back of the landcruiser (but don't let him sing!... OK Tom?) Great fun and good money value... Asante sana!
