Great experience
I've asked and compared 4 offers from different agencies, and finally I'm happy to have chosen Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari! Couldn't do a better choice.
Our tour was starting from Arusha, including 1 day at Tarangire, two and a half at Serengeti, then Ngorongoro and finally Lake Manyara to get back to Arusha. Our guide was Yao, an experienced guide, ready to give us all the advices and to look for the wildlife. We've seen all we aimed to see and the Safary at the Sunrise was amazing.
All the places we've slept were super nice and confortable. The car was always clean and with plenty of water.
Thanks again to Yao, to Prince that was super-reactive to answer all our questions and to Mr. Makoninde that came to welcome us on our arrival.
You won't regret this choice!

Very professional, Personable, & Perfect for All Ages!!!
I’m a 70+ (years) a Great Grandma trying to keep up with the family. I was there just for the ride and had no plans for the Safari but was convinced last minute to go. From the moment I met the owner, and workers from Likana I had an experience as if I had won the lottery. They treated me like royalty. Budongo Forest was full of wonderful surprises and Murchison Falls was breathtaking I was constantly being educated about the area, and felt a need sense of belonging. I always felt safe. They made sure this seasoned citizen was comfortable, hydrated, and patiently waited while I kept up at my own pace. It my first Safari but won’t be my last adventure with Likana Safari.

EPIC adventure with great people:)
There is a plenty of Safari organising companies in Tanzania. Some are big, some are small, some are local some are not. As I'm a travel planner control freak I have contacted around 30 to make sure I chose well. As one of only few Relish of Africa have read my proposed plan, they did not come back with an alternative, they have also understood our budget and helped with finding the best accommodation possible still within it. They were also very responsive, I was getting a reply to even the smallest question withing a couple of hours. They cater with no problem for our dietary requirement (two of us were vegan), and also helped out with renting last minute a proper camera with serious lens.
Yes they are small company but that's why they listen to you, they go that extra mile to make the safari as memorable as its possible. By going with them, you are truly supporting local people, their family and community, not a company which runs from Amsterdam or Berlin.
We (4 people) went on 6 days/5 nights safari trough Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Natron. and it was EPIC!! We were accompanied by the guide Emmanuel "the eagle eye" and chef Pascal "the dancer", both men of many talents:) Their knowledge, the skills, the wit and the humour made this trip simply perfect. this is the easiest recommendation we all have ever made. We could not have been in better hands on our first ever African adventure and we will be back in the future for another safari in a different season:)
Emanuel, Pascal, Andrew and Richard - Asante sana guys and all the best to you:)

Profesionalism and experience
We were a group of 50 tourists using Afrishare for different safaris to various places and of durations from 2 to 5 days and we were all well beyond satisfied.
Personally I enjoyed the benefits of a very experienced guide on a two day trip to Tarangire and Ngorogoro. His profesionalism resulted in a magical half our alone for me and my group with an elephant herd.
The staff are friendly and easy going and eager to please and to give the customer great experiences of african wildlife.
I highly recommend AfriShare and will absolutely use them again next time I visit Tanzania.

Estleon Adventures was a fantastic tour operator.
They were very prompt in all correspondence. The actual tour itself was organized wonderfully and the camps that were booked perfectly suited our family. Our guide was fantastic, and a pleasure to be around. It does seem the guides are individually contracted so this may be variance to consider. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a significant amount of travel in the safari Jeeps.

Excellent no complains as I have been booking with rove ventures for more than 5 years now
Yes it is value for money, they are very very reliable in handling your booking and communications, and in best best service they provide. The tour is fabulous. This is the best best tour company I have ever had. Its much much better in all the ways. I think they deserve to be rated as 10 stars not 5

Amazing experience!
I did the Mikumi safari and the Udzungwa forest trekking in august 2023 and it was an incredible experience!
Francis is an amazing guide! He came to pick us up early and we drove all the way to Mikumi in the super comfortable safari car with water included! The two days safari went very smoothly, we got to see a good variety of animals and Francis kindly explained a lot of things to us! The lodges were very nice and comfortable, nice food. The trekking was nice and long, we really enjoyed it. I really think the experience is worth the money it costs, the services are good and they take very good care of you!

Lion King made my family feel safe, welcomed, and pampered during a wonderful safari in Tanzania.
Initially I booked directly with Lion King for my family's first safari because it was substantially cheaper than booking through a U.S. travel agent. Ultimately, I am delighted that I booked directly with Lion King because once we arrived in Tanzania every detail of our trip was taken care of. Our guides treated us like long lost family, our tours were well-planned and executed, and our accommodations were excellent. Our travel vans were very comfortable and reliable (we did witness break-downs of several Safari vehicles from other companies). From my first contact with Lion King to our return to the U.S. communication was prompt, responsive and clear. My family - aged 17 to 75 - all loved our guides Mwita and Joseph, and were amazed by the animals we saw. We appreciated our visits to the Masai and Mataruni villages, and believe we got great value and service for our investment. Many thanks to all the staff at Lion King, and especially Mwita and Joseph.

Red Africa Excelled in Providing a High Quality Safari, Filled with Wonderful Adventure
Our safari to Kruger NP with Red Africa was exceptionally wonderful! Everything went very smoothly and we were very professionally taken care of in every detail, from our initial pickup in Johannesburg, to our drop-off again. Jaco, our driver and top-notch expert on "all things Kruger and Big 5 + Wildlife", was a wonderful fellow to spend much time with as we traveled around. He is a veritable "fount of information" that makes everything so much more meaningful. The tour provided a wide variety of experiences, locations, and perspectives. We loved every minute of it.
The eco-lodge that was our accommodation in Hazyview was terrific, a luxury resort itself, and they accommodate crazy safari daily schedules very well, especially the pre-dawn starts to the day.
Keegan, our main game-drive driver and guide, was also excellent. He knows the park and the animals down to the smallest detail and has such an infectious enthusiasm for showing visitors as much as he can, with good instincts on where to look for the game. Both Jaco and Keegan truly love their jobs, which makes travel with them such a joy.
Red Africa was a great company to work with. All communications were well-handled, all schedules were promptly kept, and because of all we saw and experienced, the whole experience felt "priceless". We are blessed to be able to have this opportunity, and to see so many wonderful animals in the wild (all Big 5, plus dozens more!) behaving the way they were created to be. We also had a great time at the elephant reserve, interacting in neat ways with elephants in ways you cannot in the bush. Our tour of the Panorama Route and a boat ride was another way to see certain animals and just soak in and enjoy the scenery of Drakensberg Mountains and a piece of South Africa.
It is important to consider carefully a tour company for a safari in South Africa. You'll be together for several days and want just the perfect experience. We highly recommend Red Africa to be that company. The memories are going to last forever for us.
