3 days / 2 nights Mikumi - great first safari with Uhuru Travel & Tours
This was our very first safari. Mikumi NP and Uhuru Travel & Tours turned both out to be good choices for this purpose. We slightly modified the itinerary without having to pay extra for it - pick up at a city center hotel and drop off at the airport in time for our international flight back home. Mikumi NP offered everything we expected to see. One afternoon and one full day game drive provided enough time to explore the park.

Great, beyond our expectations.
We enjoyed our tour. The trip to Samburu was pleasant and our driver/tour guide was knowledgeable and worked tirelessly to provide a good experience.

Tailored Experience
Okay so where do I start from? so many good things to report from our trip. They provided us with exceptional service, from the start I felt he really understood what we were looking for, plus he was able to get what we wanted within our budget! He made some valid suggestions to our itinerary which in the end made a huge difference on our trip. The safari totally exceeded our expectations. The lodges and tented camps he selected had great food and facilities.

Beyond Expectation
All arrangements came to fruition without any problems. Everyone was there to meet us at each destination with a very friendly welcome. Hotels very good and in great locations. Great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to find many animals (including the big 5) for us to see at close quarters. Driving safe and secure. Hotels very good. Vehicle was very competent for the job but an upgrade may be needed shortly and that is the only reason this doesn't get an 'excellent' marking. Would pick this company and country (Tanzania) again.

Spent a really enjoyable day at Kikuletwa Hot Springs with everything taken care of by Zuri.
I was recommended Zuri Tours and Safaris by a friend and went on an awesome day trip to Kikuletwa Hot Springs with them. The Springs were just beautiful, so clear and blue! It was a wonderfully relaxing day. Emmanuel and Alpha from Zuri took care of everything and made sure the day was really special. I would definitely use Zuri again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, well run safari in fabulous Tanzania.
Safari to Ngorongor crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara
We had a really great safari. The driver was excellent and we saw amazing animals. We also had 3 children with us, and the driver got on really well with them. The communication before-hand was good, it took us a while to decide which lodges to go to, especially with the children

Pleasant Experience
From the outset Joe was always punctual and professional. He is an excellent driver and we always felt safe. His knowledge of the Serengeti and surrounds was excellent. He went out of his way to make our trip memorable and I would highly recommend him

This safari company is actually a middleman
Like another review I read I was shortchanged 3 different nights. Julias, who collected part of the money up front, passed me on the second day to another crook named Victor, who took the remainder of the cost of the trip, then managed to put me in 3 different vehicles during the 7 days, put me in an igloo tent instead of a tented camp 2 different nights, put me in a $30 noisey hotel another night and somehow managed to get me to all the stops on different nights than the itinerary showed. And only one night in the Serengeti instead of promised 2. The last night I insisted to the driver to take me to Planet Lodge the last night on a hunch and it was so wonderful there I stayed there an extra night and I just dared them to make me move, which they did not. I had such a wonderful time, mainly due to some drivers that actually cared for my well being, even though I could tell they had to talk to Victor about me going to certain places I was promised, that I only asked Julias to refund me $150 for the 3 nights they cheated me out of a proper place. Two months later he keeps saying he will pay me, but let us face it, if you do not have $150 you don't have a real company. Julias has a fake safari company that just takes part of the fee and passes you on to the crook named Victor who makes most of his money by pocketing the difference in the price of the promised hotel against the crummy place he tries to put you. And feeds you to different vehicles to pocket some extra cash when drivers have extra room. But despite this I met some wonderful people on the trip and great animals . And I promised Julias if he did not pay I would write him up......so here it is. If you are going on your first safari all you have to do is make sure they are in the safari association and then you are safe......I did not know this until I talked to people in Tanzania.

A wonderful introduction to a stunning country
We were delighted by the seamless service. Our guide and driver (a qualified biologist and naturalist) was amazing. The experience was highly personalised and tailored to our needs. The Amazing Gorilla staff were exceptionally responsive and catered to all of our wishes. All the safaris and the lodges were great and the people we met wonderful. And the experience with the gorillas themselves will the memory of a lifetime. Than you.

Amazing!
We shared our visit to Masai Mara with some friends, who had never done Safari before. We enjoyed their enthousiasm :-). In the park you find no traces of any human waste, the wildlife was abundant. The one thing we missed, were the big groups of wildebeest, but this time of the year, most of them are in the Serengeti.
In 4 days, we have seen Lions, cheeta, zebras, wildebeest, hartebeest, maraboe, mangoest, impala, topi, hyena, buffalo, gazelle, vultures, crocodile, hippo, eagles ....
We hope to visit the park again.
