Unforgettable.
On the 3th of october 2024 we went to Tanzania for safari and before and after that we stayed at Zanzibar in the reef &beach resort. We had a very beautiful time. Very good resort and very friendly people. It made our holidays unforgettable.

Tanzania Specialist has a fantastic safari package that worked well for us.
We had a fantastic safari with Tanzania Specialist. Our driver/guide Tino was a great driver and always punctual. He made sure we could see as many animals as possible on our drives. He was very knowledgeable about the animals, the parks, the plants and the topography. He was very patient when we wanted to move ahead a little for a better photo or stop to take more photos of flowers. He knew the trails in the parks like the back of his hand and how to get to the best viewing locations. He communicated with other guides to find out where the animals were so we could go there right away and see them ourselves. I appreciated that Tino took care of jeep mechanical problems when they happened as best as he could considering we were in the middle of the Serengeti National Park.
The office staff were not as attentive to some details as they could have been and that is why I gave a 4 star rating.
All in all a great safari!

Everything we wanted to be and more!
Joel was ALWAYS available to answer our questions before the Safari and during our trip. He picked us up at the airport very friendly and we felt most welcomed since the beginning.
Our driver Deo was more than excellent!!! We felt so comfortable with him. He has a very good knowledge about the animals. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. In sharing his culture he made us feel like we were a part of Tanzania those days.

PROFESSIONAL AND RELIABLE
From initial contact to arriving on the ground the service from the Splendid Vacations team was professional and reliable.
John our amazing guide was on time always and full of knowledge. He was fantastic.
The accommodation choices by Dennis in the office were spot on and the trip was planned to perfection. I highly recommend that anyone looking for a safari in Kenya consider using Splendid Vacations.

Excellent communication, organisation and guides.
I can throughly recommend Kihindo Tours for a safari in southern Tanzania. My guides were hardworking, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I travelled solo and always felt safe. Loved the great wildlife viewing. Visited Ruaha and Mikumi National Park -5 day trip. I was limited on time but probably would have done an extra day in Ruaha. There is a lot of traveling on this trip which was clearly stated in the detailed itinerary that I received upon booking. Accommodation was clean, comfortable but simple. Due to the busy days I didn’t spend much time in the accommodation. I very much enjoyed my time on this trip.

A phantastic experience with a unique guide
For the background: Our trip with Lucas was a '21 Nights Tailor Made Trip', just for the two of us, leading us to Ntwetwe Pan, Nxai Pan, Tsodilo, Moremi, Kwai, Savuti, and Chobe River front starting in Maun and ending in Kasane.
Once we finished our joint planning, Lucas wrote in an email 'this journey will change your life' - and it did! Lucas guided us as guests into the realm of the wild animals of Botswana so that we felt close and welcome. With his extensive experience and profound knowledge of the entire fauna and flora he both taught and entertained us, but most memorable of all, he led us to many overwhelming encounters with fascinating animals both big and small, including all the iconic safari mammals, but also rare species like wild dogs, many birds, and more. These encounters felt new, surprising, and somehow even more exciting every day.
Our game drives usually started from and ended at our tent camps, where Lucas and his team, Mosa (the chef), Monametsi and Gisto, pampered us in every conceivable way and in a warm-hearted, almost family-like atmosphere. Delicious food and drinks, perfect camping facilities for the bush, very professional organization, and not to forget the smiles and laughter complemented our phantastic game drive experiences.

The best gorilla experience ever
We went gorilla trekking in Rwanda at the end of October 2024. This highlight came at the end of an exceptionally beautiful trip through the country. Thanks to our driver “Diddie”, we were able to experience the country and its people in their most beautiful form. We were able to experience chimpanzees up close in Nyungwe National Park. We had a wonderful trip along Lake KIVU and always had friendly contact with the people in the country. But the highlight was without doubt the trek to the gorillas. After an hour and a half walk through the rainforest of the Virunga Mountains, we were able to experience a family of 23 gorillas up close and personal for over an hour. I would describe this experience as the highlight of all my wildlife experiences and would never want to miss it. Thanks to Hermosa Travels and especially our driver Diddie, our trip in Rwanda will remain an unforgettable experience

An Amazing Safari Experience With an Exceptional Safari Guide!
My parents I travelled to Tanzania in October 2024 with Uzuri Safaris. it's a 10 days Safaris + Zanzibar trip.
Planning our itinerary with Steven was straightforward and went smoothly at every step. With his help, we were able to change some itinerary and hotel we like the best.
Or guide, Salim, we were extremely nice and experienced. He put in a ton of effort to find all of the animals we wanted to see and show us incredible views. We spent pretty much all day every day driving around looking for the best sights. overall, it's an amazing journey and lift experience. Thank you Uzuri Safaris.

Very professional and helpful with all needs and questions
We are just back from a 3 day safari trip using viva safaris, any questions or needs I had sent via email got replied to extremely fast which was very helpful and professional, during the safari the food was great, accommodation was great, the staff were very welcoming it felt homley ( which is needed especially if you are travelling far it’s refreshing to have friendly faces) during the safari we got a good amount of knowledge about the animals. Definitely recommend this company. I also left something personal behind at the lodge and the staff have been extremely helpful in helping getting this item returned to me which I extremely appreciate! This shows the staff at viva safari care about you as a person throughout the experience and afterwards also!
