Zanzibar & Safari: An amazing world, very well arranged by Makasa!
We are very content with the way our trip was organised. The company responded quickly and thought with us how to shape the program. She listened to our wishes, the result was a dream-holiday.
Our guides on both Zanzibar and on Safari were knowledgeable, friendly and flexible.
Specifically we liked Tarangire Park, Maramboi Tented Camp and MCF Kilimanjaro Lodge.
Impressed by the local food, atmosphere and people on Zanzibar, and by the rangers protecting the Rhinos in the Serengeti.
We would recommend Makasa to anyone going to Tanzania.
Thanks a lot, Selma!

Amazing Savannah and the awesome Serengeti!
A huge item on my bucket (oops! Barrel list) that got ticked off last month and it was nothing short of a dream come true. We did a 4 night trip to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater from 26th to 30th May and Imran of Safari Big 5 did a swell job of organizing the travel as per our requirements.
I have to give a special mention here to Nurdin - our very able and knowledgeable driver, who knows the Serengeti like the back of his palm. An expert driver whose passion is wildlife, he drove us around in Serengeti (it's a 14000 sq km national park, so obviously one can't cover it all) and we were absolutely lucky to sight ALL of the BIG 5, among other adorable birds and animals. And our timing was right, since the Wildebeest were also migrating towards the Mara, so the sight of thousands and thousands of Wildebeest on their migratory trail, which is considered the world's biggest wildlife spectacle, was the icing on the cake.
The African black rhino can be sighted only at Ngorongoro, and guess what?? We saw him there too in all his royalty!!
All thanks to Nurdin and his knowledge, his dedication, his humility and his work.
The Sopa Lodge at Ngorongoro was top class and the Serengeti Seronera Lodge at the Serengeti was also quite good (reviewed both separately).
Would recommend Safari Big 5 to anyone who wants to plan a trip to the amazing Savannah.

The ultimate, authentic safari you always dreamed of!
We just returned home from our week long Moriti Private Safari, I am pleased to say it exceeded our expectations in every way! The owner and guide Shaun Taylor, is a wonderful young man who has a deep knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the bush. His care and attention to every detail made this trip a dream come true! We saw so much, learned so much, and ate so much wonderful food that the week couldn't have been any better. Our private chef, Lindsey cooked up delicious dishes at every meal, and we enjoyed her company along with Shaun and the other support staff. The accommodations were five star all the way, and I would highly recommend this company for your dream safari!

Remote Beauty
Once you enter the National Park, Skeleton Coast reveals a stunning beauty. You may not expect spectacular wildlife sights. We spotted only few animals – jackals, cormorants and a dead hyena. But if you stop and linger you experience the exceptional mixture of ocean, desert and history in form of shipwrecks and abandoned mining facilities. And in the northern part of the Park many plants like welwitchias colorize the desert dunes.

I have now travelled through Africa with Masihambe Afrika on 3 safari's, East Africa, Wildlife and Game Parks, and Namabia, and would not travel with anyone else. All 3 safari's have exceeded ALL of my expectations,and more! All the guides have been friendly, professional, and have an incredible amount of knowledge. I would go again tomorrow. A fantastic way to experience Africa.!!

The PERFECT safari experience with an amazing outfit and guide!
I can't say enough great things about our experience with Duma Explore and Shange, our guide. From the moment we arrived they took care of every detail for us. The Duma camp is beautiful, the vehicle is clean & comfortable and the guiding was excellent, definitely ask for Shange if he's available. He has 18 years of experience and was a wonderful person to get to know throughout our trip. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Three weeks we never will forget
Thank you so much for the three greatest adventures weeks we have had. We traveled through South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana.
We saw every animal we could ever dream of. Beautiful sceneries, places and fantastic national pearls.
The guides from Wild Planet Safari, Thale and Ryan, made the trip unforgetable. The knowlage about every animal, flora, fauna and places were explizit. Ryan could spot a animal from a great distance and Thale would make up the best dishes. Since the trip was a personal trip with the only two of us, we were able to take full advantage of our guides and were able to stop when we wanted, get the game drives we wanted and last but not least get the photos we wanted.
The food was delicious, variated and tasty. We still talk about all the different delicious sausages we had every day in addition to dinner. We had all the great camping sites with comforting tents. We espesially remembering the campsite at Mapungubwe where the bushbuck walk next to us whilst we had breakfast, and the monkeyes with some cheeky monkey business.
If you want a tailor made and personal trip, with guides that have the knowlage we would love to recommend Wild Planet Safari with Thale and Ryan!!
Thank you so much for the tour.

Amazing Safari Trip With Good Price And Services
We are a group of final year medical students who were joining Asili Explorer for a 7-day 6-night safari trip after our attachment in Haydom Lutherans Hospital. We all find the trip memorable and satisfactory with a reasonable price.
Throughout the whole safari, Joe, our guide and the owner of the company, never let us down in finding the hidden animals and offering detailed descriptions. He was very experienced guide who worked for a long time before opening up his own company. He had no problem in communication with us in English. We were very lucky to see all the Big 5, especially leopards which always hide themselves on trees in the daytime and are very hard to identify. He is also very nice and willing to share with us the different cultures of Tanzania during mealtime.
We chose to camp in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The experience was excellent. The campsite was beautiful and the tent offered by Joe was quite comfortable to sleep in.
The food offered by Issac the chef was also wonderful. We had different dishes everyday. They were all very delicious and were out of our expectations. We usually had lunchboxes in the daytime and a full course meal with soup, main courses and desserts for dinner at the campsite. Joe also mentioned to us that they can prepare special meals for vegetarians or other specific requests.
Overall, Asili Explorer is a quite new company yet with experienced and passionate guides. They offered us an unforgettable safari trip with a good price and excellent services.

great safari with duma!!
The safari we did for 1 week with duma was great. The guide, Ebeneezer, can spot wild animals from incredibly far away. he is a very friendly, knowledgeable and reliable guide. We really enjoyed talking to him about wildlife but not only...he is also keen in speaking about economics, politics and the general situation of Tanzania. We definitely recommend a safari with duma!!
