Truly wonderful, the trip of a lifetime
Elize and Johan gave us a warm welcome and immediately made us feel at home with our surroundings and with them. They organized a beautiful and varied trip for us. They arranged an open vehicle safari through Kruger Park with Andy who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate the bush. Elize, Johan, and Andy even provided a barbeque at our Kruger lodge, one in which a hyena, separated from us by a fence, came to visit. Between Kruger and a private reserve, we not only saw the big five; they pointed out and told us about 24 different land animals, 54 different birds, and the plants and insects on which they depend. The trip also included a kind of shore safari around Cape Town led by Richard, another friendly and knowledgeable guide; it included whale-watching (we saw 18), a trip to Seal Island, and a rare breeding penguin colony. Then too, Elize and Johan made history come alive as they guided us to cultural villages, Robben Island, Pretoria, and Soweto. The accommodations throughout were of high quality and often brought us lovely views from our windows as well as comfortable beds and amenities. I can’t say enough about Johan, Elize, and Andy. Their warmth, their willingness to meet every request, their concern for our safety and pleasure were evident throughout. We had wonderful talks on all sorts of subjects. We met them as guides, but we said goodbye as friends.

An unforgettable experience beyond all expectations thanks to our guide Adreano
The trip was very well organised. From the day of arrival until our departure we were pampered. I have been travelling with my family and two children aged 9 and 11. Adreano did do everything to make sure we saw all that there is to be seen. He is a very good and safe driver and very knowledgeable on all the species. If I would have the money I would go again tomorrow.

Amazing 3-day safari in Selous Reserve, perfect organization: definitely to recommend!
PERFECT! That’s how I can describe the safari we made with Kiliholidays in August. I was travelling with my 19 year old daughter and my 14 year old boy and we were 100% satisfied under all respects. Having limited time and budget, we chose Selous Reserve in the South, because it is only 5 hours by car from Dar-es-Salaam and offers an amazing experience of African wildlife during the dry season. Despite the short notice (few days) Mack, owner and manager of Kili, was quick and efficient in replying (overnight, both by e-mail and Whatsapp) and arranged perfectly our trip, advising us to the best to make the most out of the few days we had at disposal. His price was inclusive of everything and competitive compared to similar proposals found in the web. Our driver and guide Joachim was knowledgeable and always ready to answer our questions about Tanzania and wildlife, definitely an enjoyable company. Food was prepared nicely by cook Daniel, who took our preferences well into account.
On the first day we were picked up at the ferry dock from Zanzibar short before 9am, the travel to Selous was itself a worthwhile experience through Tanzanian inland, in particular the last 100 hundred chilometers of dirt road through small villages. Our comfortable 4-wheel private vehicle showed absolutely no problem during the three days and went successfully through several routine police controls. We had a quick lunch in a local restaurant on the way and arrived at Selous Hippo Campsite – a small suggestive campsite outside Selous reserve - right in time for a wonderful sunset boat safari along Rufiji River: two hours among hippos, crocodiles and an amazing birdlife, definitely a plus of this trip.
The following day Joachim drove us the full day through Selous Reserve, where we were overwhelmed with an incredibly abundant wildlife: dozens of giraffes, impalas, zebras, gnus, hippos, crocodiles, a few buffalos, lions, etc. They were often very close to our vehicle, which had a pop-up roof allowing us to enjoy all this at the best. Only elephants were difficult to spot on that day, but Joachim and our local guide Amir did not give up searching until we met a nice family including a baby elephant.
Accomodation was in a comfortable tent for three persons, Daniel served us breakfast and dinner under a pleasant veranda facing the river. For our day in Selous and the travel back to Dar he prepared tasty lunchboxes.
The 2-hour walking safari we had on the last day, accompanied by a local guide and an armed ranger, was really interesting and instructive tour and completed nicely our Selous experience. We left the campsite at around 10 am, as planned.
Back in Dar es Salaam, Joachim helped us get our tickets for the ferry back to Zanzibar on the following day and then drove us to a budget lodge he had booked for us as per our request: definitely an attentive complete assistance from the first minute to the very last one!
Should we get the chance to come back to Tanzania to visit the parks in the North (we are already dreaming of it), we will surely choose Kiliholidays again.

A wonderful experience with an excellent guide
A perfect 4 day trip which showed us the true wildlife and bush of South Africa. Our guide was excellent with a passion for his subject which shined through. But he also read us, his clients, perfectly and gave us an experience which catered to our level of interest. Accommodation was lovely in a private game reserve where the staff, food and setting could not have been better. The personal touches and general attitude of Red Safari was wonderful and this is a company I will be staying in touch with and using again for my next trip to Africa. Many thanks Jaco and Red Safari.

My experience with Chabo Africa Adventure was incredible and will now have lifelong memories.
The communication was very smooth and easy process. The service was extremely good and certainly lived up to my expectations. Also, the safari tour was really nice, we got to see many animals and our guide was very knowledgable with lots to add as we toured the park. He was a great professional at his job and highly recommend him to others who are traveling to Africa for a safari.

World Class tour operators
Our experience with Safaris to Tanzania with Dahlia Tours&Safaris was changed our life a lot, their Safari guides were easy to deal with, great communication and always able to answer our questions and offer advice. The Safari was our second in Tanzania but the hospitality and guidance from Dahlia Tours&Safaris was absolutely world Class, you will never know they operated from just last year unless they told you (very honestly).
We book with them very lately but we drop to Tanzania and amazed how everything was ready for us, from accommodation and transportation. Bryson, our driver and guide, and the company director, Brian, was amazing and truly local guides. They are full knowledge about safari and the local community as well, all the time they did their utmost best to make our trip enjoyable, delightful and exciting. We got to see almost everything we wanted, seen Big 5 was our life dream which come true. Our 6Days/5nights Safari was enjoyable I have ever experience.
Their Choice of accommodation for us was very amazing, we slept in tented camps in the Bush, with Lions roars so close during the night! The food was very best and so fresh no one will ever think that they can get that from Africa.
The Dahlia Tours&Safaris team has been nothing but down to earth guides.
