Fantastic Adventure
From the outset, communication with Encounter Africa was superb. They were extremely accommodating with our requirements and created a perfect package for our needs.
Once we arrived at the airport, our driver was there to meet us and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Communication was excellent at all times and when it came to safaris he was fantastically knowledgeable about all forms of wildlife.
The accommodation chosen for us was lovely, the vehicle was comfortable and the adventures we had were awesome. Thank you once again!

My African Experience
My trip to Tanzania back in 2010 was by far one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I still talk about it all the time to this day. I stayed with Afrishare for almost 4 months and loved every minute of it. Ibrah and others made sure we were 100% taken care of the whole time. Set us up on a Safari, a trip to Zanzibar, showed us around Tanzania and its culture. Best part about Afrishare was the close relationships made with everyone involved. They are all truly lifelong friends and I can never thank them enough for the life experience they provided me while I was there. Thank you Ibrah and Afrishare!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Thomas Zumbiehl
We have visited this park among several others during a honeymoon trip back in 1999. This was our first safari but we have been enjoying this so much that we still remember this as the best trip of our life and keep dreaming of getting back there.
This park has impressed us but its great outdoors, the large grassy meadows. We also saw cheetahs there.

One of the most interesting wildlife experience
In a previous travel, my wife and I have visited other parks in Tanzania (see below). We had great time watching the wildlife. That was our honeymoon travel (yes, we love wildlife !)
So, we had the wish to come back to Tanzania to see the wildlife again. As we stayed on one of the Zanzibar islands, we decided to take a short tour at the Selous Game Reserve. We choose this park because there is not so much tourists. We wanted a park where we could feel almost alone, in communion with nature and wildlife.
We were absolutely seduced by the park. It is really big, has some roads but is clearly saved to be a wild area where animals and birds can leave in the wild.
We have also appreciated a lot to have both car safari and boat safari in the same area. That was the first time we made a boat safari, close to hippos and elephants.
We spent one night in a tented camp. This is a really exciting experience. Maasai people were there to help us make our way between our tent and the lobby because wild animals move freely. That is fun.

Review about Tanzania by Thomas Zumbiehl
We made two trips for safari and they were in Tanzania. We like this country because the parks are not crowded, one feels like privileged to be in such place.
The nature is protected, wildlife is sanctified.

Enjoyed the stunning African safari of the life time.
It was a quick and a sudden decision for a safari tour. I checked with many sites, at last i found Big Time Holidays Ltd to match my needs.
They were quick responsive with reasonable rates.
We explored the Masai Mara game reserves with an expert local safari guide and sighted many wild species. Most amazing incident was tow male Cheetahs hunted a Wilder beast and feasting. We managed to fill our memory cards with the beauty of African landscapes & natural wildlife.
Big thanks to Big Time Holidays and we highly recommend you for best safari adventures.

Trekking for Gorillas with Umubano Tours
In April of 2015 I travelled to Rwanda and completed four gorilla treks, all organized by Umubano Tours.
Umubano Tours was highly recommended online, prompting me to reach out to its principal, Herbert, for an itinerary. Herbert was extremely helpful in planning the trip, always quick to respond with good advice. In country, my guide was Bosco, though Herbert also made sure to introduce himself and ensure I had everything I needed. Bosco was a fantastic guide, very personable and willing to help with whatever I required.
I recommend Umubano Tours without reservation. This is an excellent company that went out of its way to make sure my trip was a massive success. I will certainly use them again for any tours in regions they service.
