fascinating and relaxing
East Africa - Those who have been there once will be fascinated. No image or video can reproduce the infinite expanse of Tanzania. You just have to experience it for yourself - the sun on your skin, the unique scent of the country, the fantastic flora and fauna and last but not least the hospitality of the people. Everywhere there is something new to discover and enjoy. The different national parks, from Serengeti to Arusha National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater as well as the tanzanian culture were definitely worth the long journey from Germany. If you want to escape the snow in December and enjoy the turn of the year in the sun like us, then Tanzania is the right place for you. We met Asseri as a reliable and friendly safari driver who liked to make a little fun and always smiled. In addition, Asseri is happy to respond to individual wishes when planning your trip. For example, there is the possibility to pet giraffes in a lodge and make dreams come true (like the one from my mother). Another conclusion of this trip: During the 2 weeks vacation I experienced only 5 minutes before the turn of the year people who were running around hectically, because everyone should have his sparkling wine. Every now and then I remember it back and I try not to rush through the city centre. Rather open the door 2 minutes later and enjoy the day with its little things. I think that's the way to enjoy life. That's why I think Africa still has a lot to teach us. If you want to embark on the adventure to get to know an enchanting world in which everything is a bit different than in Germany, you should make your way and book your holiday as soon as possible.

Amazing all inclusive safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Hell’s Gate.
Great safari at an even better price! We had a wonderful, knowledgeable driver for 4 nights and 5 days. He was very open to suggestions from all of us in the group, if we wanted to stop for a pic of one of the thousands of (less exciting) animals he did. He also stopped at stores and ATMs along the way when asked. Everything (except specialty drinks) was included in the price, we never had to pay out of pocket for park entrances, food, lodges, etc. Great experience all around, highly recommend!

Hillary has jointed us to company Blue mountain safari. Before he didn't tell
Hillary sold us the tour from company Suricata safari, but when we come to Arusha he has jointed us to freelancer how he have said, but later we have known that it's the company blue mountain. So Hillary has layed to us. That's terrible.
Plus Hillary asked to pay a tips for 10 dollars from each per day. That's terrible.
Guide Emanuel has ugly behavior. Every questions from us and others make him angry.
When we asked to stop him behind the animal he become angry too. We didn't asked him to stop more then one two time per day.

so much to learn and couldnt get enough
We both got home without a problem, thanks for the lift to the airport and getting us on the plane. I went straight back to work over the weekend on the night shift, really strange after the super time we have had. Just wanted to say a personal thank you and to you for the amazing way you look after us both.
This was a worry for me with the amount of driving on the itinerary. From the first moment we got in your vehicle we were at ease. And for the remaining 12 days, you never took a chance with our safety on the roads, that is so important. You made those very dangerous roads look safe. Well done.
As well the driving, you looked out for us at every point, you even gave me time to relax as I knew we were both very safe in your company. Thank you for teaching us both so much about your country, you love Uganda and that comes across beautifully, don’t change!
We had a fabulous time and will be telling everyone about our experience and GoExplore Safaris and brian for organizing such an amazing trip for us

Amazing Holiday wonderfully planned.
We had the most Amazing time in S. Africa thanks to Ryan at Perfect Africa. He put together a wonderful package for us visiting Victoria falls, Imbabala, Hazyview & Kruger park. Each lodge was perfect and he arranged all the transfers to perfection.
Our Holiday was so good we have booked 2 more going to Tanzania & Zanzibar on one & Durban & Kwazulu Natal area on the other.
The Lodges & camps he has booked for us look superb. We recommended him to our friends & they also had the most wonderful time & are going to re book.
Ryan has a passion for Africa that is evident in all that he does, & it is this passion that makes his holidays so special. You just tell him what you like & want to see & he does the rest. He offers advice & alternatives & all holidays are custom made.

Exceeded all my dreams of seeing wild Africa !
Our Safari was so much more than I expected. Jim, with Discovery XA is knowlegeble and enthusiastic about making sure we had a great experience. The accommodations were great, food was good, and the trucks were clean and comfortable. The drivers were just as enthusiastic as Jim, and very knowlegable about the animals. It was wonderful having a small group , 12, so we got to enjoy new friendships as well. I was able to see every animal that I had hoped and them MANY more. Even many beautiful birds. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing and learning so much about the lives of the animals in the wild. Watching them eat a kill, stalk and hunt, and even got to see a chase and kill. I cannot wait to go again! I also plan to try another trip with Jim and DiscoveryXA to a different country.

HIGHLY RECOMMENED TOUR WITH PROFESSIONAL STAFF
NOTE: The bottom line to a successful safari is your driver....period! His knowledge of off-road driving, translating local dialect, wildlife identification, and inside information on Africa is paramount to your safety and pleasure.
Our driver, Dickson Julius, was one of the best 4WD vehicle handlers I've ever met....and I personally know a LOT of good drivers, including F1 and NASCAR racing driver friends. His driving skills, stories, knowledge, and sharp sense of humor made our trip a remarkable experience that I'll never forget. Highly recommended! Be forewarned: This experience includes vehicle breakdowns, getting stuck, hot weather, and extreme terrain driving. It's as real as a safari gets and that's the beauty of and this trip.
The food overall on our safari was of good quality and served ample portions. All of the Massai warriors (who provided our protection) and staff we encountered were both friendly and professional. The days we spent "roughing it" in luxury tents (with functional toilets and showers) were stimulating in particular sort of way. There was just enough "grit" to get a realistic feel of camping while the calls of lions and hyenas lurking just outside your tent made your senses come alive. Anyone wanting to experience what it feels like living on the edge in the wild?....then this is for you. You will not regret it.
