It exceeded all expectation.
Teri handled everything from start to finish. Our travel was taken care of with efficiency and style. Masha was the most knowledgeable guide and knew how to keep it interesting and fun. We all learned a lot as we fell in love with the Serengeti and it’s wildlife. I plan to go again next year!

TMS took care of everything and they couldn't have done it better
We discovered TMS on the vakantie beurs several years ago when it was a small company. By then Geert already stole our hearts with his way of thinking about a safari trip and how his company takes care of it. This year we finally made the trip as a honeymoon and it was better then we have expected. The preparation with e-mail with Jo was really nice, the self drive pack is excellent en the entire trip was as we have expected and better. We had an excenllent rental car and the book guided us trough the country passing Ithala, Mkhuze, Kosi Bay, Tembe, St. Lucia, Manyoni and Drakensbergen. All the accomadations where as expected, without any surprises. We saw the entire big 5 several times. We would advise anyone to book with TMS cause it feels like you are on a guided tour with all the privacy you like. Thank you very much and we will certainly use TMS again for a new trip.

Everyday was an adventure, with incredible views, beautiful accommodation and experiences to treasure always.
I look forward to seeing Uganda and much more with your wonderful company.
Heartfelt thanks.

First class experience
As we were searching for the right operator, we had few conversations with different companies. Out of all, Safarihub was the best. Vummy has been arranging and communicating with us and accommodate all our needs. We couldn't thank her enough for her patience. The trip from the start to the end was amazing, jaw dropping experience. We were lucky to be accompanied by the kindest and most patient guide, Antony. Our accommodation was superb except for chalet in Mbalageti when the lights were suddenly off at 4.30am when we were getting ready to check out for balloon safari. But other than that, everything was perfect. It's a shame that we couldn't stay longer. The trip was so meaningful to us. We managed to see all the big 5 and so much more. Antony tried so hard and go extra mile to make sure all our dreams come true. We hope to come back again and meet everyone. I miss Serengeti already and I miss the calmness and peaceful of the place. God bless all of you at Safarihub!

My safari with Bushdrifters exceeded all of my expectations--what an extraordinary company!
I can't say enough about Bushdrifters! In preparing to go on Safari with a friend, the two of us were advised that the most important factor to consider was getting a really great guide. Bushdrifters provided that and more. In addition to having encyclopedic knowledge of nature in Tanzania--the animals, the plants and the terrain, Patrick--our guide--also has a deep respect for, and love of, the natural world. In addition, he was kind and thoughtful, has a great sense of humor, and always had an eye out for our safety. What's also great about Bushdrifters is that they will work with you to plan the kind of Safari you want and they will bend over backwards to accommodate your needs.
Bushdrifters recommended three lodges for us to stay in--and they were all great. They chose lovely, small lodges and camps in wonderful settings. We took their first recommendations, because each place they chose fit our preferences and our budget, but they are also able to work with people who want fancier or more basic accommodations. Also, while we met other travelers in the lodges, we were alone with Patrick on all of our game drives and in our transfers from place to place.
Finally, we were pleased that Bushdrifters is a Tanzanian company and that by booking with them we were supporting the local economy. In addition, booking a Safari directly with them eliminates having to pay a company outside of Tanzania acting as an agent for the Safari guides there. For that reason, it was significantly less expensive for an equivalent, or much better, experience.

Almost there but something is just not right
Throughout the planning stages Gosheni was very helpful and overall the safari was nice. But I am writing this review with mixed emotions. During the planning process there was a huge emphasis placed on the company having new vehicles and permanent guides. The vehicle that we had for our safari was fantastic and new, but it was not owned by Gosheni. Instead they had subcontracted our safari to another company. The guide was friendly and gave us a great trip but is not a an employee of Gosheni, and instead works for another company. In the end we were delivered with a great trip, but I am left with a bit of a sour taste. Their website is really focused on how great they are because they employ the best guides. They claim to be a reliable and honest operator.
We traveled in low season so it still seems very strange that they subcontracted our trip to another company, named Masai Safaris. I read several bad reviews about companies that Sub-contract safaris to other companies and the mess it can end up it. So we specifically chose a company that seemed to run their own trips. Apparently this is not the case, so I can't recommend this company even though the safari was well planned and delivered.
Responsive, pleasant, accommodating and professional
This was my second several day wildlife tour with Clive from Johannesburg to Kruger. His knowledge of the habits and habitat of the animals is impressive and his love of Kruger is infectious. Big five? Two out of two early on the second day. And that just scratches the surface of what there is to see and learn in the park and nearby areas.

Everything was PERFECT! This experience exceeded all our expectations!
Everything with our booking and with the tour itself went PERFECT!
We had an amazing time at Delta Camp and enjoyed every minute of it. From the communication through email, over contacting Khwai and making sure everything will go smoothly, Jibha did a great job in setting up an unforgettable experience for us. We also feel especially grateful for the upgrade that we received which made it even more special. It exceeded all our expectations and we will definitely book another experience with Jibha Safaris in the near future. Highly recommended!
