Great experience!
In august we had a good time on safari with Best Day Safaris. We booked online last May with Peter and we were able to customize a private safari for 2 person: we spent 5 days on Safari, and we visited 3 parks Tangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater at the price and accommodation level we were looking for. We had a special guide that speaks italian, we had great time with him. Peter gave us valuable advice before starting the journery. The safari itself was amazing and our driver was an excellent wildlife spotter. We recommend them to anyone looking for a quality safari experience in Tanzania.

Great safari - Tarangire+Serengeti+Ngorogoro
As there seem to be millions of safari operators around Arusha I studied some trip advisor reviews and then chose Northern Circuit Adventure, for a 5 day / 4 night safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro, who happened to have a group I could join (Sept 4th-8th 2015). It was a great trip, Mike the owner took care of us in Arusha, our driver/guide Elias was very competent and nice, our old Landcruiser worked (didn´t on my last safari in Masai Mara), the food really good (thanks Sweetbart!) - so basically everything worked perfectly. Only room for improvement - warmer sleeping bags for the 1 cold night on the Ngorogoro crater rim (2300 meter above see level).

These guys know what they are doing
I was in Uganda for business. My job there depended on Encounter Africa Safaris being on point, on time, and on location when needed. Tolbert was all of these things and more. In addition to making sure our time there was smooth and as productive as possible, Tolbert also provided tons of useful information about people and places that we otherwise would not have known. I can not recommend them more for either safari or for news transportation services.

Incredible!
It was any experience of a lifetime. Even though we did not see any big cats, it did not take away that much from the experience.
I can't say enough about the entire staff being superb. Everyone was so accommodating. Being greeted by Denzel, who never forgot a name or what drink was preferred, was special. Being greeted by friendly faces by ALL staff members added to the wonderful experience.
Also our guide, Albert, needs to be given most of the credit. This man is incredible. His fund of knowledge on any subject is remarkable.
If there was any problem at all, it was the chef. All of the food was so succulent, my pants were getting tight. Wow! That man can cook.

Satisfaction gaurenteed.
It was the second time i have used Real Africa safaris, and the second time i have received excellent service. On this occasion i was flying to Nanyuki Am direct from the airport, so things had to be co-ordinated to be sure i got my connection/flight. All went well and I arrived in good time. Equally my return flight was co-ordinated well as the flight came in early. All my travel arrangement went smoothly, and I had a fabulous time. Thank you Real Africa Safari.

A Guide is more than a guide
My family of 6 people (including one 10 year old) recently returned from a safari in Tanzania organized by Msangi of Bright African Safaris. The trip was spectacular in every way, not the least of which was our guide throughout the twelve days, Athuman Abuu. I am writing this review to focus on the relationship between Athuman and our family. In essence Athuman became one of our family in that we spent all day together sharing incredible experiences. From what I have read and heard from other safari goers, this is not unusual at all. What was different was that we invited Athuman to join us for meals (we paid a nominal fee to the camp for his dinner). We never thought not to offer this when on the first night we discovered that he was to eat elsewhere. I can truly say that having out guide join us for meals enhanced the friendly, intimate time spent together in this very special experience. I highly recommend to other safari goers to extend this gesture to your guide.

Great time in Uganda as a single traveler
As an independent traveler, was a little worried if I might be lonely on a 9-day tour through Uganda. However, CUL tours was fantastic! Stephen and Milton designed a great custom tour for me at a competitive price point, and I never had to worry about being alone or bored. I received many quotes, and theirs was the best by far on both price and options. Being on this trip made me feel like I was traveling with a good friend who knew all the great local hangouts and best roads. I learned so much about the country, saw everything that I wanted to see, and had an exceptional time. This is a small but growing local company, that takes its time to design custom experiences for people. I recommend them highly.

Quick, efficient and friendly
Encounter Africa Safaris helped us secure necessary filming permit for Kampala. They were efficient, quick, know what they are doing and have very good communication back and forth.

Truly amazing experience with a first class company
We visited SA in August and booked the three day Lion King tour for our family of four. This was without doubt the most wonderful experience we could have wished for and one that surpassed all our expectations. Kruger tours (Dave) were fantastic in all areas and communication was brilliant prior to and during our stay in SA which was reassuring. Daves knowledge and personality are second to none and we are sure that our visit wouldn't have been half as good without him, he captivated our children with his tales of safari and impeccable knowledge of the animals and the environment in which they live, was the perfect host at all times and definalty put the icing on the cake! When we return, we will have no hesitation in booking with Kruger Tours. We must also mention Mark who was our guide in Kruger as his enthusiasm was a joy to behold, he too has a fantastic knowledge and both are a credit to their industry.
