Excellent trip
We had an excellent time with Nature's Land Safaris when we visited the Serengeti. We stayed in Mbalageti Luxury Tented Camp for one night. We were able to see all of the big five plenty of times and had a great time. There were no breakdowns and everything went according to plan.

Great time in Mikumi and Zaanali National Parks
Me and my daughter had a great great great experience with Selous for our 3 day safari tour in Mikumi and Zaanali, from DES
Selous very fast on responding to emaisl when organizing the trip.
Everything as described: driver on time at DES Airport when we landed. Brought us to the Airport Hotel. Safari guide on time the day after to bring us to Mikumi. Very knowledgeable about the region, the people, locations and anmals. Was lucky enough to find 8 lions starting a hunt and we were right in the middle. Great time in Zaanali too, including the river boat and the hippos And our luck: nobody else in none of the 2 parks, felt like in a private safari, with private driver and chef. Back safe on time in DES, a great gerat experience. Thanks again to the 3 of you, Nestor, Norbert and the Chef.

An amazing weekend!
We were only two girls who wanted to do a Selous safari in that weekend, an intense adventure on a jeep that really changed the way we lived our Trip to Tanzania. Very comfortable car, we slept at Hyppo camp and I really enjoyed it!!! Great Driver and great chef that followed us during all our stay. Warmly recommended

Fantastic tour
We choosed this operator due to great rewiews and affordable prices, and they did not dissapoint us. We sent on the four day- five night safari and found this lenght perfect because we found all the animals and was happy when we were finished. We had a great tour with our guide Dennis and our chef and caretaker Rodrick. Dennis is a professional guide that knows so much about the animals, nature and masai-people, and we learned alot from him! He drove to the right places both with using his radio and not. Couldn't been more happy with our happy, friendly and professional guide :-) Rodrick made us all our meals, cleaned up, helped us with tents, packed the car - and was always happy! The food was great and always on time, Thank you! would absolutely recommend this tour operator it you like camping and living very close to the animals.

Amazing safari experience
We just returned from an amazing Tanzanian safari experience. This was our first trip to Africa and so really did not know what to expect. After speaking with a friend who had done a safari a couple of years ago and from researching online, we finally picked Bright African safaris due to their stellar reviews on Trip Advisor and a few other sites. We were not disappointed!!
Throughout the enquiry and booking process, Msangi (the owner of Bright Safaris) was very prompt and detailed in his responses. The booking required us to make the full payment before the trip - I was a bit apprehensive but it seems to be the norm and based on what others wrote about Bright Safaris, I made the payments. All payments received prompt acknowledgements.
From the moment we were picked up at the Airport by Msangi to the day we were dropped off at the airport by our guide, everything was perfect and happened like clockwork. We stayed at some really amazing hotels, the food was really good, the service top rate and most importantly we had a really good guide, Authman, who made sure we experienced everything an African safari had to offer. We saw all of the Big 5 (including an amazing experience with a pride of lions on the last day), got to interact with the local people and every request we made was adhered to.
At the end of our Safari, we had an extra day before we left Tanzania. Msangi allowed us to keep the car and guide an extra day, at no charge, so that we could do some local sight seeing and shopping in Arusha.
I strongly recommend Bright Safaris to others. We came back to the US with a big smile on our face which is what Msangi promised us. I highly recommend Bright African Safaris.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Irene
Interesting variety of biomes in Tarangire with its swamp and dry scrub lands and boba trees. Very beautiful landscapes. Able to see packs of elephants and herds of hoofstock and even some lions there. Loved our accommodations at Sangaiwe tented lodges.

Amazing wildlife in North Tanzania
The weather in North Tanzania in August was perfect, not too hot, not too humid, with good cool breezes off and on. The variety of wildlife was very plentiful and we were able to see a little bit of everything, even though it was the tail end of the main migration for most of the wildebeast. The density of trees at Lake Maynara made it harder to see wildlife then at Tarangire, Ngorogoro, and Serengeti; but the vistas of these parks were all outstanding and unique. Visit Lake Natron only if you want to see a volcano, otherwise it has limited hiking and wildlife viewing. A day hike of Mount Kilimanjaro is a worthy experience as quite a variety of climate zones can be viewed in 1 day. Moshi and Arusha are both urban centers and are an interesting contrast to the quiet of most of the National Parks. While on safari we stayed in tented lodges that were practically equivalent to motels, except for the lack of potable water and their bucket shower system in Serengeti. In Tanzania we found that lunch is often served later then our usual noon hour that those of us in the US may be used too. We did not have much chance to try the local food, but hotel provided excellent Indian food. Transportation from Kilimanjaro airport to Tarangire, Lake Maynara, Ngorogoro were paved and smooth with minimal traffic issues. But the road between Ngorogoro and Serengeti was the worse bumpy gravel road on our trip. The roads around Lake Natron were unpaved dirt paths that often required detours through dry river beds that made it necessary for a good 4x4 all terrain vehicle, much like the US forestry roads are unimproved in the US. Our guide was very experienced and spoke good English, he was friendly, and knowledgeable about all the local wildlife and plants. Tanzania is a great country to visit for safari because almost everyone in the tourism industry speaks English, the country is very stable and safe, there is a wide variety of climates with various types of animals that can be visited all within a few days to a week of travel, and the people are very friendly.
