Great safari experience in Tanzania with Foot slopes.
Me and my boyfriend were in November on a 3-days Safari with Foot slopes. We visited Ngorongo crater, Manyara Lake and Tarangire. It was great. Everything was good planed. They picked us up on Arusha airport and brought us to our hotel. The next morning the safari started. Our driver was really kind, communicative and he also knew many things. The accomodation camp was great. It was clean and nice, all people were helpful, always smilling and kind. I would always go with them again.

Excellent service & great value!
I was very happy with the service received from Ewamanns Safaris - the price was very competitive, Erick was very attentive to my needs and offered lots of travel options that I could choose from. Pricing was excellent - I have not seen a similar offer anywhere else. Despite this, the level of service was above my expectations! The guides, hotels, food & the entire experience were perfect.

Great Tour!
My partner and I did the 5 day camping safari and had an amazing time. Freddy our guide was amazing. He spoke English very well and was very knowledgeable about the area and animals. He seemed much more patient than the other drivers and would let us sit and watch the animals and explain what they were doing and why, whereas other companies seemed to rush in, quickly take a photo then rush off again. Our chef cooked us great food which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was just us and one other couple in the group which was good as the car wasn't too crowded. We saw SO much in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater!! We were very lucky to see a group from the wildebeest migration crossing the river heading further north as it was quite early in the season. We saw everything in the big 5 except the rhino but unfortunately they are becoming more and more scarce in the area. I would highly recommend traveling with this company!

Serengeti adventure with Asili Explorer - lived up to all our expectations!
Going to Tanzania to see the wildebeest migration was a life long dream for me! So after making the decision to go the next step was to select a tour operator. There were 3 factors - price, quality of service and having a reliable tour operator to take care of all logistics once we were in the country. Well, I can honestly say that Joe and his company Asili Explorer ticked all the boxes. Joe was able to offer a variety of packages that worked with our budget, he was super flexible when it came to planning our dates and the sites we wanted to see. Service was brilliant making our whole holiday really easy and stress-free. The accommodation selected was wonderful - giving us a truly African experience. The best was placed we stayed in was in the Serengeti - the tented accommodation was not what we expected - it was better! Waking up in the middle of the bush was a magical experience! And finally our guide, Efatha - was a wealth of knowledge, particularly on birds and willing to answer our thousands of questions! Thank you Joe and Efatha - you made our experience a dream come true!

They stole our money
We booked a 7 day safari with ISIA. We have received word that they have gone bankrupt and they are not being honest and returning our money. I have tried to contact the owner numerous times and no response. HAs anyone else heard from them or understands how to get money back?

Changed itinerary in the morning of the tour.
We booked a 4 day safari with two nights in Seronera, Serengeti. They changed the itinerary in the morning when the safari started. We ended up having 1 night in Seronera and therefore no full day in the Serengeti. This way it is cheaper for them as we spent the first night outside the parks, that is why they did it. Given this change we wanted a discount of around 100$. They said we can have 20$ discount and if we do not accept we can have all the money back and leave. That was in the morning when the safari should have started. They could well have informed us the evening before when we paid, but they did not. As the choice was between no safari and changed itinerary we decided to join. The car was the oldest moving thing you can imagine and broke down in the middle of the savanna. They did not have tools with them to repair it. They did not have walkie talkies to call somebody for help. They did not have a rope in the car to tow away the car by another bypassing car. Imagine you get stuck in a water hole? In the end they repaired the car with the leather-man of another tourist who was in a car which stopped to help us. We ended up missing the last hour of our late evening safari because we had to bring other passengers to their camp. As we were very lucky we ended up seeing all the animals the next morning, but that was really pure luck. The parks are great and the guide was very friendly and did his best given the means he was given by the company. Again this was pure luck, all the other guides of the same company seamed not very competent. Food was ok. The overall organization done by the company was horrible. We booked with Trip Advisor Africa Safari, but basically this internet companies are selling their costumers to a Tanzanian operator. Ours operator was Sandland tours of Abraham Shaidi. The itinerary change was apparently the fold of Trip Advisor Africa Safari and its owner Seth Vincent. The bad equipment of the car is the fold of Shaidi. So even if you book with other companies ask for the operator and check its reviews.

Great wildlife safari.
Our wildlife safari with Siafu Tanzania Safaris was very good. Guide had quality and value. It was a dream come true because of our guide were the best ever. Our unique itinerary was not just good but great. We focused on the astounding nature and wildlife encounters and were introduced to the joy of nature. The guide had great knowledge and experience, which was inspiring, educational and environmentally conscious. Great job and thanks for the kindness and memories. I would like to recommend to other safari travelers.
