Excellent communication and enthusiastic about the local tours
Prior to our 10 day safari tour, my family of 5 adults booked the Materuni Waterfall and Coffee tour with Leonard at ngoteasafaris in Arusha, TZ. Leonard was very responsive throughout our e mail booking process. His guide Dany picked us up in a very nice passenger van. Dany is very knowledgable about all the local culture and the Kilimanjaro area. We drove to the trail head for the hike to the Materuni Waterfall which is windy and bumpy. Dany was very patient with our questions and we started our education about the Materuni Tribe. The hike was beautiful - I'd say begineer to moderate level. The paths are narrow and it was a gorgeous day so there were other hikers. It is incredible to say you saw the waterfall from Mt. K. snows. The tour included a typical Materuni lunch made by the locals. All foods made on hot fires with natural grown fruits and plants. The banana soup was the stand out. My kids say it was their best lunch of our vacation! After lunch the Materuni members taught us how they make coffee up in the hills. What a great hands on experience. We crushed, roasted and drank the coffee that we made. The Materuni are wonderful people. They are welcoming and so joyful. Lots of singing! I would HIGHLY recommend this tour. It is a long day from Arusha but worth it.

Incredible team for an incredible experience!
My friend and I booked our Mt Kenya trek through Phine Safaris and they did not disappoint. Right from the beginning, the team responded to my many questions, thank you Kelvin, and provided details about the packages they offer. We were able to customize our trip and add a stop at Ol Pejeta conservancy at the end HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
Our guides, Joseph and Tim, and our cooks, Harrison and James, worked incredibly hard to keep us motivated, and well fed. We ate delicious meals. They catered to my dairy-free, pescatarian diet. ALL the meals were delicious. They treated us like old friends and were very relaxed, kind, and knowledgeable, and were constantly checking-in with us. We also had the opportunity to learn about the various places, animals, and plant life along the way. They met with us each morning to talk about weather, hiking conditions, layering (clothing) advice, and what to expect.
11 out of 10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND booking with Phine Safaris!

Friendly and supportive
I had an incredible experience with Good One Tours in my recent vacation to Tanzania, They tailored my trip perfectly to my requirements, ensuring every detail was taken care of. Our guides Joshua and Aly were knowledgeable and friendly, making the journey even more enjoyable. Everything was arranged smoothly, allowing me to relax and fully immerse myself in the adventure. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to have a personalised and hassle-free travel experience!

Great value safari and Masai experience
Musa was very helpful in putting together this value for money safari with a Masai experience, at short notice. He is friendly and will find a solution to your needs, he even helped us with good value airport transfers after our trip.
We were picked up early from our hotel, as promised and driven out for an enjoyable breakfast, on our drive out towards the Serengeti. On the way, we passed by Lake Manyara, with baboons spilling onto the road and our driver kindly stopped to let us take pictures. After the short stop for breakfast, we transferred to the safari vehicle and began the drive via the Ngorongoro crater national park. On entering we saw an elephant amongst the vegetation and we were assured by our guide and fellow safari goer that we would soon be deleting these pictures in place of better ones - they were not wrong! Our guide, Fede, soon got us in a prime position to see three lion cubs feasting on a recent kill and then found the mother nearby. I think there is an element of luck with safaris but Fede's knowledge and experience, as well as good communication with fellow guides, got us to the right places at the right times. We got some great close ups during our trip, even with a male lion, as we were leaving the Serengeti. Although a brief rhino spotting eluded most of the group, one of our party managed to get a shot on camera and we were able to see as much, if not more than we could have hoped for, on a relatively short tour. Visiting the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, we were able to see a large variety of animals over 3 days (2 nights) and I think these are the best two options, if you are short on time/money. Although camping conditions are not for everybody, this is luxury compared to the Kilimanjaro camps - you have access to hot water for washing/showers and the toilets are mostly in good condition.
Fede was gainfully assisted by two young colleagues, who were both humble and friendly on getting to know them. We were served great meals by our small team and chef, given the remote locations and we got to make some stops for photo opportunities and comfort breaks.
I packed a 50L day bag for the 3-days and was able to fit everything that I needed, as food, water, tents and sleeping bags are provided. I would highly recommend taking a buff, as you will likely encounter a lot of dust.
This was my first safari and I thoroughly enjoyed it, standing up on a drive for the first time with the roof popped up was an unforgettable experience. If you have not encountered the Masai before, then a stop by their village for a brief tour and being greeted by some singing/dancing is a welcome and insightful addition to the adventure.
Overall, I am very happy with my experience and communications with Expedicion de Superheroes and would be happy to recommend their services.

Be carefull with this company. They do not comply and after paying they do not refund money. P
Please do not take this safari. It is false. It's fake. You woll probably lose your money

Experience counts!
This was our second time to Tanzania and we sought out Goodluck Kombe again to arrange a custom safari - we trust his knowledge and experience. Part of our group had flight cancellations that Goodluck was able to problem solve to make sure they got back back home when they planned.

Really enjoyed a safari in Nairobi National Park!
Joseph was very helpful and responsive! My parents and their friends really enjoyed the safari, saw a lot of animals and also had a good time in the Giraffe center and Bomas of Kenya.

Organised
I booked our day safari with Dallas Safaris, there are many operators offering the trips, because of the reviews read and value for money; not the cheapest and not the most expensive.
The trip was arranged and organised before leaving the UK, Dallas Africa Safaris kept me updated on the booking via email and booked the necessary flights across to the mainland for the day safari - all very efficient and reliable. Confirmation of pickup time was sent the day before, the driver was friendly and helpful; he was there to greet and drive us back to our hotel on return to Zanzibar airport. We were fortunate to see a variety of wildlife: lion, elephant, giraffe, baboons, hippos and crocodile to name a few.
All in all, a great once in a lifetime experience!!
Hakuna matata!
