Looked after everything
We only had limited time, three days, and we had extensive email correspondence with Simon about six months earlier when he gave us prompt and patient answers to all our many questions. We took his advice about where to go, where to stay and he took care of all the many details, airport transfers etc. Everything went like clockwork. Would recommend Eastco to anyone.
Our driver was friendly, helpful and reliable.

It was a really fantastic experience to travel with Lindo Tanzania Travel
We had a great safari about 7 days, visiting Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti Park and Ngorongoro crater. We saw a lot of animals an a gorgeous landscape.

We really felt very comfortable with him.
Overall we were extremely satisfied with Lindo Tanzania Travel agency and we recommend the company to anybody who really want to experience the really adventure which are offered by Lindo Tanzania Travel through its professional skilled tour driver guides.

Something we will Remember for a Long time
We made a three days safari with Northern Circuit Adventure to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. It was a great experience and we saw many animals and changing landscapes. Thanks Mike, our guide Dennis and our cook Gabriel for making experience great.
Our guide Dennis has a good knowledge of animals and plants and was always able to answer our questions. We can definitely recommend Northern Circuit Adventure safari to others and this is something we will remember for a long time!
Asante!

Unforgettable Vacation - Kilimanjaro and Safari
My husband and me spent two wonderful weeks in Tanzania, all arranged by Shadows of Africa. What can I say, this trip has certainly become a trip of my lifetime. Kilimanjaro climb was well organized; we had a nice team guiding us to the top. The guide Rashid, was very motivating and keeping it positive in challenging moments when I was about to give up on the way to the mountain. For this I am sincerely grateful as in other circumstances I would probably quit along the way. As for safari all I can say , had an amazing time. We took 5 day safari to Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. All parks are beautiful, but Serengeti was the place worth staying for days and if I come back I will choose to visit more days in Serengeti for sure. Driver Timothy was funny, witty and informative with wildlife facts and safari stories. Food on safari was also good and tasty, lunch boxes we received were very generous in size and portions in comparison what we saw with other people on picnic spots. For us this package was exactly what we wanted, we didn’t go on Zanzibar but maybe next time..

We would recommend Chalo Africa for those looking for a unique and responsible wilderness experience
The game safari industry in Kenya caters basically to a western clientele. That's why it was a refreshing change to come across an Indian company like Chalo Africa that caters specifically to Indian needs. More importantly , what made us happy was that we were looking for a more specialized wilderness experience, keeping in mind that we make many visits to sanctuaries and national parks. We liked the fact that they were willing to experiment and help plan a holiday away from a cookie-cutter approach and keeping in mind our desire to get an offbeat wildlife experience. Sangeeta from their team, made several suggestions on what we could do to get off the tourist trail and get a more intimate wildlife experience.
I also like the fact that they tie up with counterparts in Africa who believe in the principle of 'responsible tourism' and take that very seriously. The bushcamp they suggested for us, had no walls constructed, (so we had wild animals coming to sniff our tents at night !) and use of resources like lights and water was restricted to the minimal. We would recommend Chalo Africa for anyone looking for a unique and responsible wilderness experience!

Disappointing
For my husbands birthday, I booked a 6 night safari. I made the mistake of booking with Julius t. Safari in Kenya. Although, he has excellent reviews for Kenyan safaris, he subcontracts out safaris in Tanzania.This is how we ended up with Sunny Safaris. Our driver guide Khalifa, was unfriendly--not engaging at all. His English was poor. he tried to change the itinerary to suit his needs. We relied upon other guides to find wild life. We paid $6000 usd --very disappointing---older beat up land roovers
The people here have great knowledge and I would use them and recomment them to family and friends.
I found the person whom I dealt with really understood my requirements and she far exceeded my expectations. I had a wonderful time in Zanzibar, an island I would definately like to visit again in the near future. The people here have great knowledge and I would use them and recomment them to family and friends. very professional and friendly.

Unforgettable
Totally tailored to what we wanted, brilliant trip- we don't have a single negative comment except we wish it could have gone on for longer! An absolute trip of a lifetime, would recommend Khangela Safaris to everyone looking to have a unique African Safari.

Blue skies, Red sand, amazing scenery and wildlife,fantastic experiences and lifetime memories.
Planning a holiday is much of the pleasure and with Blue Sky Namibia that was certainly true. From the start it was clear that much care was taken to tailor the tour to the travellers to achieve a happy result and an individual experience.
Four of us, all experienced travellers, journeyed to Namibia and from the time we were met at Windhoek by Pieter Mostert, tour operator,guide,driver and friend it was clear that we were in for an exceptional holiday.
Transport was in a very comfortable, purpose modified Volkswagon Transporter which reliably took us from the Orange river in the South to the Kunene river in the North and from The Shipwreck Coast to the Namib Desert and Etosha.
Accommodation was chosen to give different experiences from a floating cabin on the Orange river, tents in the desert with stars to see, stone lodges in a desert winery, rooms built round a huge boulder in the desert with magnificent views and a variety of accommodation to view wildlife, prehistoric artifacts and the history of Namibia.
Pieter who had a lifetime in conservancy before becoming a tour operator was a constant companion, source of information and a magnificent friend. It was obvious everywhere we went that he was much liked and respected.
As a result we had a truly unforgetable experience which has set a standard which will be hard to repeat.
We can highly recommend Blue Sky Namibia tours and Pieter to anybody seeking an exception and unforgetable journey in a wonderful country

A wunderful experience: less luxury, more nature.
The tour guide is a very experienced man. Hes still accompained from his colleague since many years. The two men are very motivated to let the guest see and know everything which is possible: "reading" the nature and animals, explaining background, changements, developments. They have a lot of patiences, can specially for those who love wait, who have enough time, who like to search and to oserve the animals for more than just a few minutes. With Kangela Safaris there is no rushing around in the bush: there is Quality instead of quantity. Khangela Safaris is a Partner for People who like to come very close to nature and animals by all their senses, for people who like to walk. We loved the comfortable Camping in the bush right next to the waterwhole with the lovely selfmade meals on the fire, the beautiful evenings with storytelling... and linstening to the Sound of the animal.
