Tanzania safari good, but...
I booked a 4 days safari in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Right Choice.
On the day of the departure, I discovered:
1 The tour was to Tarangire and not Lake Manyara.
2 I had to travel with "Meru Slopes" and not with Right Choice.
3 The other travellers of my safari booked directly with Meru Slopes and had free pick up at the airport, hotel included...
So, if you travel in Tanzania, book with Meru Slopes directly!

Top of my bucket list was to see the gorillas in the Congo. It was a dream come true and to make travelling easier we were introduced to Barak who helped us with our visas and get us across the borders with no trouble. He also took myself and my girlfriends to a local market to go shopping which i give him a lot of credit for too. He not only stayed sane, he managed to get us some bargains. We spent a few days with Barak and I found him to be kind, happy, funny and helpful, all with a constant smile which is so nice to be around. I recommend him to anyone travelling to this area!!

Best experience ever
Awesome African safari experience.
Thanks to Wild trace Africa Safari tours and her team of experts.
We booked a two weeks safari after reading reviews about this company and the incredible, greatest Kenya tour operator simon milambo who happened to be the sole owner of the company, and believe me, the experience form the point of booking to the end of the trip surpassed our expectation. The safari trip take place in jeeps in small groups (We had 7) so all get a window seat. Our guide Obama was simply excellent! He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the animals, birds and the country, not to mention the local peoples culture. Very fluent in English and little bit of French, Spanish and even Italian, something that we found quite incredible with him. Obama often spotted animals before we did and we were lucky enough to see lion cubs playing and male lions prowling next to a herd of wildebeest that later took to their heels for the incredible wildebeest migration across the Mara river. This trip was not just like any other trip, it was a onetime breath taking safari experience of a lifetime. I would thoroughly recommend simon milambo and wild race Africa safari adventure for all your African safari destinations for an excellent African safari experience like no other.

Tanzania safari
Every thing worked perfectly, guide expert, prudent and friendly, the 4wd toyota was dated but mechanically in good order: no problem occurred during our 10 days trip in Serengeti Lake Manyara Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire Parks.

Great Safary, poor organization
Our overall experiencie was pretty good because we could see tons of animals and the big 5 but there where things about the company that didn't work well:
In the website offers it's said that they do the game drives with 4x4 vehicles and a picture of a "jeep" appears, but when we asked in the office they said that they only have pop-up roof minivans and they had to speak with safaribookings to change it. For the moment, they didn't...
We where supposed to sleep in a guesthouse in lake nakuru that was surrounded by nature but they said we could sleep in an upgraded place so we accepted and it turned out to be a hotel in nearest town, which for us was a "downgrade".
We also had to change our guide/driver on our way fron Nakuru to Masai Mara. This is not a problem but it was strange. It was even stranger that the second guide we had to meet was suposed to be "Paul" and it was "David" without informing.
David was great but he knew nothing about our itinerary and he asked us what was it. He had to call the company a couple times to solve his questions.
To end, the day before we left, our car had a problem in the engine inside the Masai Mara and we had to leave the park stopping every 5 minutes. The next day, we had to wait until the engine was fixed to leave to Nairobi.

Amazing experience in the North of Tanzania
Just come back from Tanzania: it was a great experience with my family!
Savanna Explorers organized 6 days in the north of Tanzania with safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro.
Our guide was very kinded and also well prepared in anwering all our questions about Tanzania, animals and parks.
We stayed in lodges and in tented camp: all the accomodations were in line with expectation and our requests.
Savannah Explorers absolutely recommended.

Exceptional customer service and highly experienced, friendly and professional staff.
We'd been considering going through a larger company, but figured we'd also check out some smaller ones, including Instincts Safaris. We requested a quote and received a reply within a day from the co-founder Niels. He personally worked with us to customize our safari and make all the arrangements for our trip efficiently and thoroughly.
Our guide Rabani was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the region. We were really looking forward to the gorilla hike, and it surpassed our expectations. The hike did take four hours and was quite rainy (and muddy), but we were able to gather some amazing sights that made it worth the while. Accommodations were comfortable, especially refreshing after being outside all day. It was a wonderful trip, and I'd certainly choose them again!
