a well organised Tanzanian organisation, gives you a safe feeling
We travelled 3 times with Antilope Safari.Every time It was a nice experience, no mistakes in the (flexable) organisation. Communication on the planning of our tours was correct and quick. A very nice and well informed guide.

Walking in the wild!
This is my second visit to Africa on Foot and once again it could not have been a more wonderful experience. From the moment I contacted Natasha at Sun Safaris to the hugs all round from our game ranger, Enoch, as we said our farewells at Hoedspruit airport, the whole trip was a sheer delight. The main reason for going to Africa on Foot is to be able to walk in the bush and learn about the flora and fauna. Enoch is a superb guide and he brought us close to lion, elephant, rhino and buffalo. It was a thrilling! His knowledge of all aspects of the bush and the folklore of the peoples of the area is consummate and we came away with a wealth of knowledge and terrific memories.

Ticked off the bucket list
A Safari holiday was always on our bucket list. It was a great experience and we saw a lot of wildlife throughout the trip as well as the migration in the Serengeti which is unusual for this time of the year especially near Seronera and up to Nabi gate. Our driver Eric was a jolly fellow always in high spirits with the knowledge of an encyclopaedia. We have now returned home with some very nice memories and 3 hard drives of pics.

Personalised service and relaxed approach
This was my maiden African Safari and I didn't have a clue what I was signing up for. The pre-booking communications with Mr.Loth gave me the assurance I was in the hands of an experienced & a flexible tour operator. Not being a big tour company, they were able to customise and work on my individual requirements, primarily around Photography. I was briefed on the tour plan in advance and the same was printed off when we started at Arusha. Bryson my Driver-Guide was the actual hero throughout the safari. His keenness to explore places and friendly approach towards other tour drivers enabled me to experience African Wildlife at its best. He along with the cook Gryson, ensured I had a comfortable stay. Though the vehicle looks a bit tired, I was surprised with its performance on the dirt tracks and while ascending the Crater. Whatever your budget, Ilmaasai have the willingness to arrive at a workable solution that's guaranteed satisfaction. Try them to experience Africa.

It was absolutely amazing.
This safari surpassed all expectations. It was my second safari with MMT and my granddaughter's first. This safari was in Uganda and the first one was in Tanzania. We both still talk about Uganda. Leslie was very prompt in answering all our queries, the service was excellent, and the experience was superb. I wouldn't hesitate to make another booking with MMT.

Bush Paradise
We have just returned from our third visit to Mala Mala & as usual, cannot speak highly enough of of our experience. Special mention must be made of Leon, ranger Adi ( previous Rangers Jonno & Paul) & indeed the entire staff who were courteous & friendly. The accommodation is clean, comfortable & attractive, the food is good & lots of it! Only wish was that the orange juice could be freshly squeezed & alcoholic drinks could be complimentary till say 8 pm!!

Very satisfied
Well I am sure a lot has been written about Ngorongoro and the safari trips within the crater. It is hard to imagine that such a vast wildlife sanctuary exists so close to human settlements. Once you descend into the crater all signs of human life are left behind except for the local people. It is truly a breath taking site once you are descending the crater and actually within the boundary. I am going to write this review from a photographic perspective.
Most people are interested in the wildlife. As far as that is concerned it is a mixed bag. Lions are plenty but depending on where they are in the crater they can be hard to find and photograph. I am not sure if there are leopards or cheetahs in the crater, but we never saw.
There are definitely a lot of grazers and interaction between the predators and prey can be fascinating if it is close to the road otherwise the action may be too far away. You can get very close to Cape Buffalo, Wildebeest, Zebras and of-course African Elephants.
From a birding perspective be on the look out as you descend the crater early in the morning. There is a vast diversity of avian life form and they are not shy at all. The accommodations surrounding the Crater are truly amazing for the most part. As far as I am concerned every time I go to Tanzania, I always make a stop at the crater.

Lifelong wildlife experience in Tanzania..A must for any bucket list.
This was our second visit in Africa,my wife and i visited Kenya in 2009 during which visit we had a short 2 day safari at Masai Mara..and then on to the beaches around Mombasa.
This past january we booked a 5 day safari in Tanzania so that we could experience a proper full blown safari experience.We managed to see plenty of wildlife including the big 5 though some animals were harder to spot and not as abundant as others.
The weather was pleasant and comfortable ,accommodation was very good ..we stayed in a tented lodge,a proper small hotel and a tented camp.Once we got to know our guide/driver and him us we got on very well with him and took his time answering all our questions.
All in all it was a wonderful experience and we are already planning another visit, this time to see the mountain gorillas.
