Reliable and up to our expectations
We did a 5 day Safari (group of 6) through Tarangire, The Serengeti and Ngorongoro and were delighted with the service; great food, great insights from our guide Solomon, and very efficient and rapid communication with Gadiel to organize everything through WhatsApp. He even helped us arrange our onward travel to Nairobi. Would warmly recommend Good One Tours for your time in Tanzania's national parks!

Exceeded my expectations
I was a bit anxious to book a safari tour via email, especially with a down payment, but the great reviews convinced me. Jocky Tours was fast to reply and answered all my questions.
On the day of the tour I was greeted (punctually) by a friendly driver who brought me to their office for payment after which we proceeded to the safari vehicle. Our guide was Kikitu and we set off in group to Masaai Mara.
I had booked the 5 day budget safari and it far exceeded my expectations. This was mostly due to our excellent guide Kikitu who made sure we were entertained and had an amazing trip! When our first day did not go fully as planned due to unforeseen circumstances (road blocked) he made sure we were fed (as we were not able to reach our lunch spot) and when we did reach our destination he made sure we still had a wonderful evening. The rest of the week he gave us a premium experience with humor, interesting knowledge, making sure we saw the Big Five and a big smile.
Personally I did have high expectations for the accommodations as this was a budget tour but we had three meals a day, very decent accommodations and we definitely got value for our money. The meals were buffet with similar options yet enough variation to keep you satisfied.
The car was cleaned daily with a box stocked with water. I always felt safe during our drives even though the roads were bumpy (especially towards Masaai Mara), our guide was definitely an experienced driver.
The only “negative” I have to note is that we had one day solely dedicated to a long drive, but then again it was also a welcome rest as we woke up early most days and we had a very active and long day the day before.

This safari was a perfect
"Traveling with kids can be challenging, but Obag Africa Safaris made it easy and enjoyable. Our guide was Very Professional, engaging, and made sure our kids had fun while learning about wildlife. The accommodations were family-friendly, and there were plenty of activities for everyone. This safari was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation for our whole family!

Exploring Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and beach safari in Zanzibar
We went on a 10-day safari that included visits to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and beach safari in Zanzibar with my wife. It was really beautifully arranged by the Ngao Safaris authorities. The luxurious tent, cuisine, and service were all above our expectations. Mosses Lukuba, our guide, was incredible and went above and beyond what was asked of him at everything's. He constantly positioned us in prime positions to see all of the wildlife, and he was very informed.

Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly.
The itinerary is what made us chose this safari as it sounded great. Lots of communication with Lewis in the months prior to our start date.
We visited 4 different reserves which gave us varied experiences and ranges of wildlife.
Lewis and Jessie were superb. Jessie, our driver, navigated the tracks and could spot an animal which once we couldn't even identify with binoculars.
Lewis took loads of fantastic photos and videos which were incredible.
Best experience ever, exceeded my expectations. Definetly recommend it.

Exceptional experience, seamless planning & unforgettable memories
We made a 3 days Murchison safari in January 2025 with our guide Patrick. It was a wonderful experience. The safari was easy to schedule, easy to pay for online and communication was excellent. We were picked up on time on the first day of the Safari in a new looking and comfortable Safari 4 wheeler with bottled drinking water on-board. The guide was very good, providing a lot of information during the trip. In the national park , he was able to get us to where the animals were and we managed to see all the big five up close during the trip. In Murchison Falls National Park we were booked into Pakuba Safari Lodge where the staff are excellent and the food amazing. We experienced the awe-inspiring Murchison falls, made several game drives encountering the amazing sunrises and sunsets and of course the wild life, a cruise on the Nile upto the bottom of the falls, a visit to Ziwa Rhino sanctuary. Everything was perfectly arranged by Simba Africa Expeditions including the necessary permits, we just needed to show up and enjoy the amazingly planned trip.

Arcadia was prompt, responsive and knowledgeable.
Our safari with Arcadia was wonderful. They took care of everything, from the pick up at the airport, to lodging and meals, and all of the activities. We decided to add a day to our original plan to visit a nearby town, and they organized all of that as well within 24 hours. The itinerary was detailed and thorough. Both of the places we stayed during our safari were beautiful, and the meals were very good. My daughter and I had our own private guides, so it felt very tailored, and we could pivot as needed. Two thumbs up!

First class service
We have just returned from an amazing holiday, organised in conjunction with Saunterland Tours, who worked with ourselves to put together a personalised itinerary
This included feeding the Giraffes,the Karen Blixen house (Out of Africa), Elsamere the former home of Joy Adamson (Born Free), a balloon flight in Masai Mara, to visiting sights that inspired many scenes in Lion King, (pride rock, the echo wall of sound)
Our guide Simon Gathai, looked after us for the full trip, even selecting a guide for Mount Longonot who gently encouraged us during the accent, to checking out the driver collecting us for the balloon flight.It was good to have a guide who was so knowledgeable not only on the area but the wildlife
Nothing was left to chance. He managed to be in the right place, for a very close encounter with a lioness, and finding the elusive leopard, ensuring we saw not only the big 5 but the Ugly 5, plus so much more. We ended with beers and nibbles in the Masai Mara park while the sun was setting on our holiday.
Sautnerland tours did everything possible to ensure the trip was on eto remember from making sure we were kept hydrated with the supply of good clean water and personalised water bottles, even contacting ourselves during the trip to ensure everything was as expected.

An absolutely amazing Safari experience during the birthing season
We had an absolutely amazing 7-day Safari experience. Everything started off on the right foot with the incredibly smooth communication with Almachius in the early stages, which laid a solid foundation for the Safari. Almachius was able to provide customized solutions perfectly in line with our needs and budget. He also responded quickly and helped resolve any issues that came up, which was truly fantastic.
Our guide, Samweli, was another highlight. He was not only highly professional but also had a great personality. He could precisely and promptly locate the animals, and he had an incredibly sharp eye for spotting hidden surprises along the way. Thanks to him, we successfully saw both the Big Five and the Ugly Five. He also shared a lot of interesting and vivid facts about the animals, making the experience even more enjoyable. His positive attitude and excellent character added so much value to the trip. I highly, highly recommend him!

A Perfectly Tailored Safari Experience
Josero Tours and Safaris went above and beyond to customize our safari according to our preferences. We wanted a mix of wildlife, culture, and relaxation, and they delivered exactly that! The visit to a Maasai village was an eye-opening experience, and the game drives were nothing short of spectacular. We felt safe, well taken care of, and fully immersed in the beauty of Kenya. If you want a stress-free, well-organized safari, look no further!
