Amazing experience!
I went on a 2-day safari with some of my friends and we were all very satisfied with the whole tour. Mussa is a openminded and happy safari-guide, who shared a lot of his knowledge about the parks and the animals, which is amazing when it’s your first safari. Between our two safaris we slept at a very nice hotel where the staff took good care of us - we were all positively surprised when we saw our beautiful rooms with a big private bathroom. At the hotel and throughout the tour we had some great food (breakfast, lunch and dinner). I would definitely recommend Mussa to everyone who is going on a safari here in Tanzania :-)

Great guide, with customized agenda, from an operator who knows Africa and cares about your safari!
With hundreds of tour operators to choose from, what’s important? Your guide, your agenda and an operator who truly understands Africa and cares about your individual adventure. E-Trip delivered a life-time experience! Explore with them.
Your guide is a make-or-break factor, who must speak your language, understand what you want to see, be experienced and capable to find what you want to see and be able to alter the program to meet your needs. E-Trip’s David, with an education in conservation and over 20 years of experience, exceeded our expectations. We urge you to work with any operator on selecting your guide (from profiles and ratings) before you book.
E-Trip provides complete flexibility to tailor your agenda to what you want to see and where you want to go, priced accordingly. You are not “stuck” with a fixed set of packages or combined with strangers. We wanted to see the herds, which are far in the north during September, and E-Trip made this happen. When you are planning, understand that the National Parks (Tarangire, Ngorongoro,…) keep a strict 24-hour window on entrance and exit time, so if you want to be there longer, then plan for more than one day. Ask questions, because every month is a little different in Tanzania. E-Trip provides for a legitimate guided cultural tour of a Tanzanian town, which may include a Masai village, but will also incorporate family living and African cuisine (if you’d like). This can be a longer, or shorter experience, depending on you. Avoid those many artificial Masai village tours!
Although this was not essential for us, E-Trip can also provide a safari that spans multiple countries, if that’s what you want to do.
Ben and Aurelie are westerners who have spent years in Africa, and live in Arusha. E-Trip is their company. They fully understand the land, the people and culture, and the game areas and animals, so they are fully equipped to provide knowledgeable, personalized advice as you plan and customize your safari. Ask questions and pose options – they will help you build your dream safari.

This company cares!
We had safari with Aardwolf in Masai Mara 29 September - 2 October.
When I was choosing among different companies for safari I noticed that Aardwolf has less reviews than some other companies, so I was hesitant about booking with Aardwolf. But when I firstly came into contact with Verah it was excellent communication. All questions answered professional and she was the only manager among those whom I've contacted, who wasn't trying to fit me in template schedule but was eager to help us choose the best options for us. Also what I like about her - she remembers everything you say: I've asked for binoculars, and she offered to give me one for free and didn't forget that. I've ordered food "no spicy" and didn't had to mention it any more - everyone along my route was notified about my food preferences. Excellent work for a manager!
Now about our guide. Julius is fantastic guide! I had a lot of trips in my life - Amazon, Galapagoss, Indonesia, and he is surely one of the best. In 3 days we have seen everything: leopard - twice! Cheetah - twice! Lions - three times. Hunting lion - also done! Of course a lot of giraffes, antelopes, zebras. More important - he loves his job and cares about environment and people around. I will remember when he just suddenly stopped our car in the savanna where many cars passed before just to pick up a can thrown by somebody. It makes difference! Also he has a lot to tell about wildlife. Very good man, excellent guide and experienced driver.
We definitely recommend Aardwolf, Verah and Julius for everybody doing safari!

A wonderful weekend Safari, short on time but big on adventure !
The communication and response times were excellent. I had decided at relatively short notice that I would like to do a weekend Safari whilst in Uganda for work. The Kombi nation team were proactive, informative and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.
The Safari itself, was a wonderful experience. Starting with the Game Park at Murchison Falls, I had the opportunity to see and experience some of the worlds most beautiful wildlife. We even managed to spot a Lion and a Leopard !
The highlight for me was definitely to be found on day 2 - a river cruise on the Nile to see Hippos, Crocodiles and all of the amazing birds. At the end of the river cruise, the beautiful and powerful Murchison falls.
Isaac - my Kombi Tour Guide was exceptional. Professional, personable and most of a lot of fun and a very safe driver !
I highly recommend any adventure with Kombi Tours.

One the best experiences, I will remember the sunrise at 6.30am thanks ‘ Diggy diggy amazing trip
We chose this safari for value for money and chose the basic accommodation 2 nights with 4 park drives. The tent was clean but in need of some improvements in the toilet and shower room, the hot water takes at least 20mins to start coming through but this wasn’t a problem. The bed was comfy but make sure you keep the zip down on your tent as monkeys can get in and rummage through your stuff, take a padlock for security. Torches are a must. The meals were very tasty, make sure you get an extra sausage at breakfast they were georgeous. The ritz it isn’t so make sure you are happy with basic because that’s what it is. We were very happy as we were there for the animals and thanks to our driver ‘Diggy’ we saw nearly all.... we decided to skip the last morning drive and stay out longer the day before which meant we could go further.... brilliant choice. I would definitely use skywide again but may upgrade the accommodation next time, the prices are reasonable so remember you get what you pay, if you what nicer accommodation pay more and choose a better one. Thoroughly enjoyed it

very experienced for realise individual tours
I work as a travel photographer and travel individually according to my own travel plan. For this I always book an off-road vehicle or safari vehicle with a very experienced and well-spoken driver, driver guide. I travelled 6000 km in 30 days through Kenya and the north of Tanzania, also in the not well developed north of Kenya at Lake Turkana. Maurice from Spotkenya Safari has provided me with very good drivers and off-road vehicles and has always found a good solution for problems that have occurred in the meantime. I can absolutely recommend Maurice and his team.

Outstanding!
Bespoke safari and Shabani have been nothing but the best in the service they offered!
Punctual at the airport pick up and drop off at the hotel for the first night, guide/driver Richard and cook Gideon are very well versed around the park/crater and just absolutely delightful to be around. Everyone involved has done everything possible to make this safari the best we ever experience and they have definitely succeeded. Honestly I cannot find anything to complain about even if I wanted to.
And all for a reasonable price! I was more than happy to support a local agency too.
Once again thank you to Bespoke, Shabani, Richard, Gideon and the good folks at the Raha Leo Inn.
