Friendly, reliable, well organised company that delivered on all it’s promises.
Minneh was very responsive and informative in her communication, which made it very easy to book our four day trip. Daniel collected us from our accommodation on time and was very friendly, courteous and professional. Alex was our tour guide who took us to the Masai Mara - he was very informative, friendly, knowledgeable about the animals and worked really hard to ensure we had a fantastic safari experience. We stayed at Lenchada tented camp, which is very basic but comfortable. Food was good and the area was clean with friendly and helpful staff. The safari exceeded our expectations, we enjoyed two and a half days in the reserve which we recommend.

It was a great experience to make the safari with African Savannah Trekkers
Together with my wife we made a 7 day safari, where we visited the following parks.
Started in Tarangire, then Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara.
It was a great experience, we saw a lot of animals, including many Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, Elephants, Rhinos, Giraffes and countless Buffalo's, Zebras and Wildebeest and many other animals.
We would not have seen some animals ourselves without our guide Horace he has the eyes of a hawk.
He drove us around for 7 days and managed to answer every question we had.
A tip is when you can not remember all the information of animals and plants he gives .
Take a picture of the book he has with him, from the page where, for example, the bird in question you want to remember the name of.
Horace drives very safe and fully adapted to our wishes regarding start and end times.
The hotels and tented camps were all fine.
Also the food and lunch were well catered for.
In the 7 days every day was an experience again.
Among the things we have seen , a territory battle between 7 lions.
And a leopard who killed an antelope and dragged it into the tree.
Two cheetahs who were eating a wildebeest.
And much more.
All in all, African Savanna Trekkers is a good company to experience a safari.

Yet another great holiday with Wild Wings
My seventh trip with Wild Wings, with more to come I hope.... I go on safari every year, and have always used Wild Wings to organise my travel. From the superb organisation in their George office (thank you Madi) to our trips with Simon in Kruger (many thanks again, Simon) to the wonderful lodges I've stayed in over the years (particularly Elephant Plains and the wonderful Kambaku River Sands), I can't recommend Wild Wings highly enough. They deserve all the plaudits they receive.

Great safari, honest & fun people
I loved this safari adventure! It is amazing when you see all of the animals (and so many) up close! But you have to remember this is real and not Disney. You have to work to find the animals sometimes. Sunrise Travel helped us see all of the “big 5” ... we got up close and they were also aware of our safety at all times. You need to know you can trust the tour operator, and these guys were so great. Plus, they took care of all of our tent camping and making delicious food. I made long time friends with one of the operators, Issa, and I hope you have the pleasure of booking your trip with him!
Climbing kili was amazing, doing it safely, even better
Now it is very popular to climb kili. It makes it seem easy and in some ways it is because it is not a technical climb. But you have to realize you are going to 20,000 feet! Next time you are in an airplane, realize how high you are. I was excited but a little afraid because I have asthma. African Sunrise Travel made me very comfortable. We all took it slow “pole pole” and on some times when I needed extra help, they helped me but didn’t make me feel like I was Standing out. I also paid a small amount of extra money (around $80 USD I recall) to have a porter to just help me with my backpack and water. It does help a lot to know you don’t have to carry 20 lbs all day! My guide was Issa and we still stay in touch today. I know the people who work for this company are trustworthy and will do their absolute best to create an amazing and safe experience for you! I have been on all 7 continents and this was the most memorable exceptional experience of them all!

Glad we chose them!
Our safari booking was a little last minute. We still got the best price and had an amazing time on the safari. The tukaone lodges we were set up in were nice, clean, safe and super pretty. The food amazing. Our safari guide Ashley did a tremendous job explaining, teaching and showing us the culture the animals and the park. We were never rushed. We got to see all the big 5 thanks to him. The only thing i would say needs a little work are the packed lunch boxes. The food seemed stale. other than that I don't have any complains or regrets. The car provided was neat and clean. Godson was always there if we needed anything making sure everything was fine, always in contact and only a message away on whatsapp or call. The safari still remains our best experience in Tanzania. Thank you for the amazing experiences Godson Adventures.

Exceeded our Expectations in Every Way. Way better prices than other operators we compared
I am stationed in Tanzania for a few months , and I still did a LOT of research before I committed to one operator. I wanted the best price for the best safari....is VALUE. It came down to FACE OF AFRICA ADVENTURES. They must have some awesome relationships with the lodges and camps that they use because the prices to include some of these lodges on our tour beat the competition often by hundreds of dollars per night for the same. We did a budget lodge and tented camp safari and it was perfect and a once in a life time experience for us. We did Safari drives every single day and thanks to the driver/guide, it just never got boring. He found so many animals, lots of lions doing the things lions do...and always seem to have his truck in the best position for photography. He really seem to have eagle eyes for finding animals...We saw the Big Five over and over again, and every other animal known to man! Face of Africa provided service second to none, and went over and above any promises made, threefold! The vehicle is perfect...and the staff is friendly and helpful with endless enthusiasm and knowledge! I recommend them heartily!
If you check our YouTube channel https://youtu.be/rtd-thZLq1M, by March 15, 2019 we will have a video on there about the Safari...what we saw, where we stayed etc. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? There are other videos about Tanzania in general too.

Best experience ever and I do mean the absolute BEST!!
I have a hard time putting into words the experience I had with Hekima safari. Arriving in Africa for my first time I had booked through a different agency who told me they would find me a safari that would work with my schedule. And how lucky I was!
I saw more animals in 4 days than I had seen in my entire life leading up to this, and yes every one of the big 5 was spotted.
Knowing nobody when I was picked up right on time at my hotel I was placed in a group of strangers for 4 days. Immediately everything clicked. The driver had such a great friendly personality with a wide knowledge of the area and the animals. And the food, EXCELLENT!
One of the owners of the company joined us just for fun which made the experience that much better. I left having made friends, seeing sights that seemed like I was dreaming and having an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
I recommend this company more than the 5 stars I was limited too. I almost want to quit my job and work for them they are that good.

Amazing safari experience with SafariBook Evolution!
It took us long hours of research and hundreds of emails exchanged before we have decide for tour operator so I would love to give you my opinion and recommendation for SafariBook Evolution. Hope this will help you out!
Firstly, why have we decided to go on Safari with SafariBook Evolution?
Friendly and prompt communication with Steve (owner), flexibility and willingness to meet our needs and kind of gut feeling ;)
Booking process was very easy and at the end we put a trust in Steve and sent 75% of the payment - we were travelling to Zanzibar before and we did not want to carry that much cash.
My 2 friends and I, we went for 9 days safari with following itinerary: Tanzania starting in Arusha - Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara with walk, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Empakai Crater, Kenya - Amboseli with walk. We had amazing guides, I could not wish for better company, we had a lot of fun and I learnt so much about animal, Masai culture and life of African people. In Tanzania our guide was Godlove Goodluck and in Kenya - Onesmus. We had also cook named Alifa - cooking is really his passion and food was tasty. Much better than in any African restaurant we had been :D
Everything was organized and yeah, sure, things did go sideway, as our car got broken, but what I appreciate is how the things were handled and what Steve did to make sure our trip is untouched (new car was sent, meantime rescue car camet to not lose any game drive etc). And to make it up Steve made us amazing surprise. We were flying out of Nairobi at 6 am so he arranged for us home stay at lovely Kenyan family. We had wonderful last night in Africa with his friends. We could not wish for more. Ah, one more great surprise from Steve! We had budget safari with basic accommodation to keep cost as lower as possible, and is like Steve would know us better, he booked for our last 2 nights amazing lodge with swimming pool and view on Kilimanjaro. After diving and 9 days in the car on bumpy roads this was like a dream!
I can honestly recommend SafariBook Evolution, Steve and his team for organization of your Safari. Steve - thank you so much for amazing experience and providing us great guides, this made all difference.
