Excellent Private Tour/Holiday Package
We had a great time in Tanzania, thanks to Faustin and his team. He took us from the airport even in 3:30 am (because of our flight g hour), so we didn't have to stay until 7 am at the airport for him to come and pick us. We did safari in Mikumi National Park and stayed at Tan-Swiss Lodge (I highly recommend it). We had a private guide and private driver during the whole stay at the country. After the safari, the driver took us to Dar, from where we took the ferry to Zanzibar. There we were taken to Prison Island tour and Spice tour (again we had a private boat and private car only for me and my boyfriend). Our last days we spent in Nungwi village at Mnarani Beach Cottages, where we were just lying on the beach and collecting sunlight. After the holiday at Nungwi, he took us to the airport. Excellent Service. I will recommend him to anyone :)

Excellent
The experience lived up to our expectation, and Dan was informed and flexible to our needs. The accommodations were first class, food good, and we saw all the animals we had hoped to. The customized trip to a Water School project in Nebbi District went according to plan, and was a lot of fun.
The only criticism was that the original vehicle we were given had seat belts which didn't work.
Great safari with Matoke Tours
In February we made with Matoke Tours / Easy travel a 15 days trip to Northern Tanzania. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. It was really fantastic! We have seen a lot of migration, many lions, cheetah’s, kills, birth of a zebra, black rhino’s and so much more.
Everything was perfectly organized. The accommodations and the pace at which we traveled were perfect.
Compliments for our guide Benedict. He discovered with his "eagle" eyes animals we barely could find with binoculars. A great guide and driver. He knew to steer the car always so that you had a perfect position for filming and photography. We had told him at the beginning we have been several times in Africa and knew a lot about the wildlife. That he picked up very well and gave us no standard but the more specific information, so we learned more.
All this means that we can look back on a great time.
Benedict, Matoke Tours and Easy Travel thank you for this wonderful experience!

Good safari and great food
Mike was a great host and we had absolutely no problems contacting him. He met us (my husband and I) before we left for the safari and explained us everything about our 4N/5D safari. The safari was great. Solomon, our guide, made sure we spotted all major wildlife during the safari. He also had great knowledge about the terrain. Moosa, our cook, deserves an outstanding ovation for his spectacular cooking skills. In the middle of nowhere and after a long, tiring safari he managed to put up a delicious pizza (i have no idea how!). The only department which perhaps needs a little work is the planning; the safari could have been a little more adventurous if our preferences matched those of others in the safari. My husband and i wanted to follow lions to see them hunt but the others werent so keen, so we headed to see hippos and rhinos instead. Perhaps Mike can speak to everyone about their preferences beforehand and try to accomodate everyone's common goals in the safari?
All in all, it was a great experience, much beyond our expectations. If i were to visit Tanzania again, i would definitely go with Northern Circuit Adventure for the safari. Great job, Mike!

Fantastic safari! Highly recommended!
If I could give more stars I would. Both guides on the tour (Dave and Mark) were very friendly, very knowledgeable and very accomodating. It was a real privilege to get to see Kruger with such passionate guides.

David W. is the Safari Master!!! :-D
Our drivers were always ready whenever we wanted to go. They helped us with our bags and were very contientious with helping us keep up with everything to make sure nothing was lost. Our driver, David was very knowledgable on safari and we saw all the animals we were hoping to see, AND more!! We saw lions, a cheetah with 3 cubs, a leopard, black rhino, elephants, giraffe, zebra, too many to list. It was an AWESOME experience and I feel that David was instrumental in making it that way! A true once in a lifetime experience!!

Safari of a life time
It's hard for me to settle back into my life at home after such an exhilarating trip through East Africa! Our group was ideal size of 8 and a mixture of well experienced Africa travelers and first timers. The pre-departure information was so good the newbies were just as prepared as the others. Everything ran like clockwork, the camp staff and drivers were fantastic, catering to all our needs with a smile, and their own personal experience and knowledge was clearly extensive. The vehicles were well equipped with charging facilities, fridges and they were water tight (a consideration if you are traveling in rainy seasons...). The timing of the trip was perfect as the game viewing far out stripped our expectations. Jamie's experience as a tour operator and as a professional photographer made this trip a safari of a life time for me.
