A culturally inspiring and adventurous experience of a lifetime!
I had the joy of going on a weekend safari hosted by Jafari and his colleagues to Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara national park, and it was one of the highlights of my trip to Tanzania! They were all extremely knowledgeable not only about the animals, but also about the local Masaai culture.
On our drive out we stopped at a Masaai village where we were welcomed with a traditional dance and then got to tour their village, which to this day is still one of the most powerful cultural experiences I have ever had. Jafari’s team was mindful to orient us prior to the visit so that we knew how to gratefully recognize their hospitality. In each game park our guides knew exactly where to find not only the larger animals, but I was amazed at how they could spot birds and reptiles perched in trees or along river banks out of the corner of their eyes while (safely!) driving! During the animal sightings they would share bits of information about the animals, proof of their wealth of native expertise. They gave us time to get all the pictures we could ever dream of, also offering to take pictures of us ON safari – always an important picture to remember!
All of these things are an essential part of a safari, but what made the whole experience was how gracious, kind, laid back and truly “Tanzanian” the whole team was. The camping accommodation was comfortable and clean, the food prepared by the cooks in the team was DELICIOUS and beyond my expectations, and they made us feel welcome and cared for in the relaxed African style. I have recommended his team to my friends who are keen to go on a safari, and I plan to travel back some day to go on another adventure with Jafari! Wageni, mwakaribishwa, Tanzania yetu, Hakuna Matata!!

Convenience, reliable and Enjoyable.
The journey to serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro via Arusha was amazing.
We were picked up by Mr. Imran himself once we reached Arusha and than straight to the Hotel.
We had our dinner the first night and woke up early in the morning to start our Safari to serengeti and NgoroNgoro.
Everything went as planned. We saw the animals. went for game drives with good reliable cars.
Had a good driver and a very good cook with us. The food was amazing.
All in all a very good experience.
we had our lifetime experience with safari big5
It was one of the most amazing trips we had, from the hotels we were given, the food, hospitality and most of all his full time communication with us and the driver during the trip, incase of any problems he would solve them right away and made our trip just the way we wanted !
Beautiful hotels that we were given in serengeti, ngorongoro and karatu, not forgetting the tour drivers which we had who made the trip worthwhile.
I would surely recommend anyone for their tours in Tanzania , No one knows Tanzania better than Safari big5 (y)

Kalahari Adventure.
A special custom adventure (it was so, so much more than a safari!) for my wife and I. Part accompanied self-drive in 4X4 Hiluxes and partly in Wild Planet's customised VW Truck.
Apart from the usual first class Wild Planet food, service and Wildlife spotting we had some major desert adventures, the highlight was Ryan Organising the 4X4 trail in the Kalagadi for the morning of my wife's Birthday, she loved driving those dunes - then to cap it we saw lots of Meerkats (very close!) - her favourites.
Personally I loved watching the lions hunting in Pilanesburg and found the desert scenery absolutely breath taking.
We saw so many different species and had such a wonderful time that we have made our minds up to travel with Wild Planet again and again. (This is the third trip we have done with Ryan and they just keep getting better.)
If you want a tailor made Safari with the most knowledgeable guides I have met go no further than Ryan and Thale of Wild Planet.

Outstanding service
I pick Flexi Tours based on the reviews and I am very happy to say that all positive comments reflect my very good experience. Everything was perfect. Ted, who guided us, was absolutely outstanding. Dave was also very kind to assure we met our expectations. They did everything possible to help us get the most of our time.

Perfect Kruger tour with Dave
We went on the leopard crawl tour with our tourguide Dave. Everything was perfectly prepared and the guide was very funny and friendly. We went to the Kruger park for 1,5 day and saw lots of animals. Dave knew a lot about them and could tell us everything we wanted to know. We were just with our own group (5 people), so it was possible to ask questions. The accomodation was great, we slept well and the shouwers were okay.
We also did some other trips that day, everything well prepared and Dave managed it all. We had zero concerns during the entire tour.
We would really recommend to go on tour with Dave: you definately will see a lot, have fun with the guid and you will never forget the tour!

I’ll never forgets this nice experience!!
Thank you so much for everything!!
I had a wonderful 5 day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Lake Manyara I really enjoyed watching wild animals! Especially I could see lions and they were very close to us. I’m impressed by wild animals and wild nature. Then Mike is very kind to me, he is a wonderful and smart person, drivers also make me happy!! He is a nice person too. I attended this safari alone, but I could make friends who attended from another safari company. I’ll never forgets this nice experience.
Asante and see you Mike.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Ellen
The swamps are a nice different compare to the other parcs. Also enough hippo's to spot.Early in the morning you can see the Kilomanjaro. You can spot a lot of animals.
