Our most amazing travel experience so far
My husband our 8 year old son and I booked our trip to Tanzania a year in advance. It was my first time doing such a holiday and over that year I had many questions things like could we avoid snakes and would there be towels in the rooms I emailed tent with a view and the 2 wonderful hotels a lot and they answered every question fully never treating me like it was a silly question. Every aspect of our holiday was fantastic from being picked up at the airport to being dropped back off. The 2 hotels we stayed in where amazing (sable mountain lodge and the Zanzibari) Sable mountain was truly the most beautiful and amazing place I had ever stayed going to sleep accompanied by the animal noises is a truly awe inspiring experience.
The staff at Sable mountain where wonderful always smiling and chatty even at 5 am and Rama and Mbasha managed to show us so many animals from Zebra to Wild dogs and Elephants to worthog.
The Zanzibari is set In The most beautiful setting with quiet rooms where you can truly relax and our experience with the staff there was fantastic they couldn't do enough to help especially for Louie our 8 year old.
While we where on holiday we where lucky enough to meet Masa, David and chairperson Lili and see their passion for the work they are doing to help the local communities and the wild life. This holiday was a life changing experience for all 3 of us and I so hope to be able to travel with Tent with a view again very soon

Supper under the stars!
We spent one night at the Chogela Safari Camp on our way out of Ruaha National Park. The campsite, with room for camping vehicles and tents as well as tented rooms some now en-suite, was immaculate and we were given a large area, with a fire pit, in which to park our truck and set up camp. The nearby ablutions were more than adequate, clean as clean and the water hot. As we had run out of food when camping in the park we had booked to have dinner and on arrival asked if we could this served under the gorgeous night sky! Before we knew it tables were bought out and a fabulous buffet set up in front of us, which was soon laid with bowls of home grown rice, beef stew and fabulous spinach, all delicious. The staff simply could not have been more helpful. To make the evening complete the camp owner, Chogela, joined us for supper and we had a wonderful night hearing all about how the camp was set up and his plans for the future. After breakfast the next morning we sadly had to leave but if we were to return we would definitely stay again and would try to fit in one of the tours that Chogela runs from the camp. With thanks to everyone there.

Excellent Service
a group of 4 of us travelled to Tanzania in December over Christmas for a week of Safari. I contact Mercy from Eastern Sun around June/July about our prospective travel plans, she was wonderful and quickly set out an outline of the trip. Communication was excellent, and the service provided by Mercy and her team was good as I went and forth with her to make sure all details of the trip were perfect, and fit in with the rest of our travel plans. The lodgings Mercy picked for us were very good and we have a great Christmas meeting friendly people at the different sites! The driver also spoke well and had good knowledge of the area we were travelling in and the animals we were seeing and the trip would not have been the same without him! The whole group had the most amazing time with Eastern Sun, and I'm thankful that I picked this Safari Operator.

Quality on budget
I was recommend ACZ from a friend that recently went on Maisi Mara. Overall, I could not have been more satisfied with the trip. My budget was modest and they took the time to iron out low cost lodging and programs that fit what I wanted to accomplish. I booked a trip to Mt. Kenya with the organization of a guide a porter and also a cook. It was the most memorable experience.
Additionally, the Masai mari was all organized from pick up to delivery. I took the option to visit lake Navashna as well. I highly recommend Hell's gate park where you can bike with zebras.

My vacation was one of the most perfect vacations and I travel a lot - thanks to Shadrick!
Everything about my trip was perfection. Shadrick greeted me at the airport, got me through all border controls and obtained needed visas with no issues whatsover. He explained everything that was happening during the process so I wasn't nervous, given I was traveling alone. He always ensured I was happy and if there was ever a glitch in my schedule, an even better resolution was found. My trip was beyond expectations and much of that was due to Shadrick's professionalism and great customer service. I just wish I could have spent another week there!!

Safari and Zanzibar
This trip was planned to perfection by Roho Ya Chui, every connection, flight and accommodation was perfect. My safari guide was very experienced and helped me get the best of my trip. Zanzibar was a perfect come down after the excitement of chasing chui's!! I would recommend Roho Ya Chui for their excellent arrangements and the personal touch- answering stupid questions from Safari novices!

Absolutely magnificent!
The vacation was wonderful and we were really impressed by all the lodges and tented camps Active Tanzania booked for us. The staff was super friendly and the accomodation wonderful, clean, spacious, .... It truly exceeded our expections.
But it was really Msangi, our guide/driver from Active Tanzania, who made our trip one to never forget. He is a very knowledgable guide, calm, sticking to the rules, always good mooded and his English was good. He spotted a lot of animals and gave very clear information. He was able to answer to all questions we had.
For all for us this was an amazing vacation and there is nothing I could say that would need to be improved on what concerns the trip itself, everything was truly perfect for us. The kids had the time of there lives and this was absolutely what we wanted to achieve, and we did, thanks to Active Tanzania.
Also the communication and the booking etc went very smoothly, Mary is very responsive and kind.
I very much recommend them!!!
