It doesn't get more real than this
RedAfrica hosted us with great care and service orientation. I wanted a real experience and, from the people to the safari tours, I can say I was fully satisfied. No manicured lodges and bush, no perfectly traced routes, we really went into the wild and experienced great things. Our dinner by Oliphant River, the river safari and the daily outings all contributed to make this a memorable time.
On a personal note, we enjoyed spending time with Jaco, the company's owner, Geo and I.P. Jaco went above and beyond to make sure everything worked fine, driving countless hours, always in great mood and sharing his knowledge and love for nature. Dankie!

Professional service, nice staff, no stress
The safari at Selous was well organised, we enjoyed all our stay. The staff was professional, flexible and paying attention to our needs. Hippo camp, on the Rufiji river is a beautiful place. We really enjoyed the sunset boat safari. The park is very big and game drive lasted the entire second day. The walking safari was also very good, with an excellent and entertaining guide. I definitely recommend Kanuth Adventure Safaris.

Great safari with great guide
We experienced a very well organized safari to Mikumi national park in August 2015. Our guide was very helpful, friendly and made the best out of every game drive.
However, anyone who planes a safari from Daressalam to Mikumi national park should be aware that the drive takes a long time (7h) and therefore a two day safari is quite exhausting. Unfortunately we only had two free days and thusit was a great choice.

Serengti experience!
We booked with Savannah via a referral from a friend and were not disappointed. The booking process was pretty straight forward and Savannah helped us put together a program that met all our needs. The upgrade to the Kuria Hills was well worth it and was amazing. Our driver Lesley was knowledgeable and very polite, making sure our needs were met and being flexible on start and finishing times. I would not hesitate in recommending Savannah tours and the whole experience was awe inspiring. Four days we will never forget, thank you! Nikki

4 Days Victoria Falls Holiday Package
African Coast Travel and Tours were exceptional in helping me plan for my Victoria Falls holiday. I didn't know much, but they patiently and willingly guided me through the choice of package. They were always available to answer my questions prior to and during the trip. During the trip, everything was as promised, from airport transfers, the accommodation to the tour activities. The courtesy, punctuality and overall service was nothing short of stellar.
The tour of the falls, the Chobe excursion and the Boma experience are unforgettable. Team African Coast, you made the trip memorable. You have this amazing ability to make one feel like he/she is the only client. Keep up the great work guys!!!

friendly, efficient, and as wonderful as they promised
The best travel agency we have dealt with. The service was excellent. The follow up was great.Cuan was good at anticipating what we might enjoy because of his experience and this made the adventure better than we could have imagined..
Every detail that was organised by Ubuntu was meticulous and everything went to plan. The only problems we ever had , the whole time in Africa were on sections that Ubuntu had no control over ( airports)
It was the most wonderful holiday we have ever had and it far exceeded our expectations. This was in no small part because of the excellent assistance we received from Ubuntu

We warmly recommend this fantastic company
We found them here in Safaribooking and after looking carefully into their reviews we decided to book with them the six days hotel safari. Now after safari, all i can say is that as a family group of five people, we had a fantastic safari.
Our guide was superb and I truly believe he was one of the best – compared to others we saw during our trip – and equipped with one of the best car, which is very important in that kind of trip. Safaris,villages… we came out with the sense that we made the most of our trip.
Thank you

Excellent
We met Kilele through a friend of friends (her job is to organize upscale safari – so not for us), so it was relaxing not to be afraid of being cheated, as we had read on the internet from other travellers.
Frank successively offered several options until we find the most suitable for our desires, our budget, our planning, with good advice on the relevance of the course, the length of the steps, where to sleep, etc. ... (for example, an unforgettable walk with a Maasai guide close to the Lake Natron flamingos and through maasai villages).
We were able to talk both in French in English with Frank (but only in english with the driver and the cook).
So we visited (in 8 days) Tarangire > Natron > Serengeti > Ngorongoro parcs while camping (except one night in a lodge in Ngorongoro because of the cold), in a nice atmosphere (good vibrations with the driver and the cook, a good opportunity to learn more about Tanzania, learn some Swahili, ...).
Despite our initial reservations (for economic reasons), a safari with a qualified driver-guide really is a good bet: he knows where to find the animals while you only see a bunch of savannah, he can identify and explain the wildlife, and, most important, communicate (in Swahili) with other drivers in the park to find the best spots at a given time.
All equipments were in good condition (4x4, tents, sleeping bags, lamps, tables, chairs, ...)
Food was good and quite elaborate, given the material conditions, with a strong Tanzanian touch (we saw other tourists eat super standard stuff not appetizing).
Nous avons connu Kilele par une amie d’amis, qui organise elle-même des safaris haut de gamme (donc pas pour nous). Ça nous a mis en confiance (je pense à tous les récits d’escroquerie trouvés sur internet).
Frank nous a successivement proposé plusieurs formules, jusqu’à ce que nous trouvions la plus adaptée à nos envies, notre budget, notre planning, avec de bons conseils sur la pertinence du parcours, la longueur des étapes, l’endroit où dormir, etc… (par exemple, une journée de marche inoubliable avec un guide massaï à l’approche des flamants roses du lac Natron et à travers les villages).
Les échanges se sont faits en anglais et en français avec Frank, et en anglais avec le chauffeur et le cuisinier.
Nous avons donc visité (en 8 jours) les parcs Tarangire > Natron > Serengeti > Ngorongoro, tout en camping (sauf une nuit en lodge au Ngorongoro en raison du froid), dans une ambiance sympa (très bon contacts, en anglais, avec le chauffeur et le cuisinier, l’occasion d’en apprendre plus sur la Tanzanie, d’apprendre un peu de swahili,…).
Malgré nos réticences initiales (pour des raisons d’économie), faire un safari avec un chauffeur-guide qualifié est vraiment un bon plan : il sait trouver des animaux là où nous ne voyons que de la savane, les identifier, expliquer leur mode de vie, et communiquer par radio en swahili avec les autres chauffeurs dans le parc pour trouver les meilleurs spots à un instant donné.
Tout le matériel était en bon état (4x4, tentes, duvets, lampes, tables, chaises,...)
Les repas étaient bons, souvent assez élaborés pour des plats cuisinés sur place au camping, plutôt couleur locale (on a vu d'autres touristes manger des trucs ultra standard pas appétissants).

A fabulous holiday to remember
We had few queries for the date of booking the trip which I queried by phone and email, all we can say is that these were dealt with and answered immediately. we would definitely book with Dahlia tours & safaris again and again for our trip in Africa. This trip was from the very first day full on and every day packed with different experiences. We managed to fulfill two of my lifetime wishes which were to see Big 5 animals and hiking around Kilimanjaro National Park going to Natural beautiful waterfalls, Chagga tribe and war caves!! Also having big chance to swim in Hot spring near Kilimanjaro international Airport, first time on a trip like this which was made all the more enjoyable with having such a fantastic mixed group of Dahlia tours&safaris team, their driver guide Bryson and Kilimanjaro expert Rahm. Any trip is only as good as the guide and a special mention needs adding for Brian, their manager who did such a fantastic job of ensuring everyone, no matter how small or demanding of their request was looked after. I strongly recommend this professional tour company.
