Great Trip but ....
First, I can't emphasize enough how beautiful and scenic landscape and wild-life watching is! Our Tourguide showed us great places. Since all tour operators do more or less the same (travel plan, camping sites, food) its maybe important to know how Trip Advisor Safaris works: Its not an operator, but it provides your booking to sub-contractors. For example, the woman who took our payment was from Seven Wonders Safari, other people in our group booked at Hekima Safari... I don't say it's not good or bad, it's just not transparent and you feel that it doesn't matter at all which organisation you choose (at least in this price range). We definitely got a good deal with Trip Advisor Safaris, since they charge less than other organisations.
What I didn't like so much was the communication. Before we paid the deposit communication was fluent, after having paid, questions weren't answers anymore. This doesn't raised my trust but in the end everything worked out well and we were picked up at the airport as promised. The second thing I didn't like that much was our tour guides attitude from time to time. On our first day Umar guided us. He was really great and told us a lot interessting things. Unfortunately, he had to leave after the first day (for personal reasons as he told us) and was replaced by Amani. For my impression, Amani seemed a bit rude and not very motivated. One day he had our binoculars in the trunk and refused to get them for us even if we pleased him several times. As you can imagine... being on a safari without binoculars is not that helpful ;-) The worst thing for me was when he got off road once to get closer to a group of cheetahs (in his defense, a member of the group coerced him to do so) but it's forbidden to leave the trail and the protection of animals should weigh higher than annoying tourists. I know, a lot of tourist want to get as close as possible to the animals but Serengeti is not a zoo and I expect guides to follow the parks rules.
Even if I complained a lot it was an unforgettable trip and I can recommend strongly to do it - no matter with which organisation. By booking Trip Advisor Safaris you get the same quality as by any other organisation as long as your willing to deal with some intransparencies.

Clone Salim the driver/tour guide for Safari in Tanzania!
Having already seen the Big 5 in Kenya, it was a hard act to follow! Salim not only rose to the challenge, he excelled. During our month travel in Africa, he would be the 2 best tour guides! He was enthusiastic & kept searching for interesting experiences, with good commentaries. Unforgettable memories: 4 lionesses with 10 cubs, 5-hr journey search for wilderbeasts migration in Serengeti

Andy suggested several camps and helped me narrow it to the best one for my needs. Perfect!
Andy was wonderful. He offered several suggestions and then helped me choose the perfect tented camp. He communicated well and was always available. I highly recommend African Travel Consultants.
As for Hamilton’s Tented Camps — book it!

An amazing experiene with a kind and very knowlegeable tour guide
The tour was better than we expected: we were able to see an amazing number of animals, including a whole pride of lions after hunting a buffalo. The park itself is very beautiful, with its special colors. Our guide, Mr. Norman, was kind and very knowledgeable about both South African history and nature/Zoology. We ended the tour with an excellent lunch.

Everything was very well organized and accommodation was above expectation.
There was really nothing to complain. Everything was very well organized and I was positively surprised about the accommodations.
I would definitely recommend Roho Ya Chui and would always travel with again!

Great Customer Service
From the moment we met Frank at the start of our safari he made a genuine effort to make our time in Serengeti & Tarangire the best they could be. Our guide Frank was very knowledgeable and great fun to spend long safari days with.
Our cook, Pascoe, was also great, and we ate like kings. Organising our safari with Fatuma was easy. We couldn’t recommend this small safari company with a huge customer service focus.
