A rugged place with beautiful rivers.
My wife and I went in November at the beginning of the rainy season. The weather was generally good, and not too hot. We saw a good number of animals, but with the coming rains they were often staying in the forest more. However, we did see cheetahs, lions, giraffes, hippos and a variety of birds. They come down to the river more during the dry season.
The river camp we were in was in a beautiful spot, with permanent tents and an open covered common area. The staff was very accommodating and the food was good. The guides tried very hard to find the animals for us to see, but they were scarce at times. We also cruised on the Kafue River and some people went fishing. The river was pristine and quite beautiful.
Very scenic, huge variety of wildlife, comfortable accommodations, good food.
Samburu National Reserve was a great park to visit. It's a little off the beaten path so we had the scenary and wildlife viewing more to ourselves. I saw a greater variety of wildlife in this park than in any other I visited. The accommodations at Samburu were comfortable, the food in the lodge was very good and overall, from my experience, I would highly recommend it as a place to visit.
Kenya is the best wild life reserves on earth
Yes i love Samburu National park a lot, bcz its having a unique semiarid weather conditions. I love there is abundant Bird life is there. The great big cats you will not miss anything, particularly the elephants due to its dusty conditions the back drop of Elephant shots will come out amazingly.
If any one will ask me do you recommend Samburu park, with out any hesitation i will vote to it.
Thanks.

Experience of a lifetime!
To say the least, this was the experience of a lifetime. Tanzania Expeditions made this trip the best it could be and surpassed all expectations I had for it. Everyone from the porters to the guides were amazing at all times. Food - Amazing. Hospitality - Amazing. Porters/Guides - Amazing. Whole Trip - Amazing. You can tell that the people working for this company truly love what they do and love making sure their clients enjoy it as much as they do. This is the first and only company I would recommend to anyone traveling to Tanzania!
This company is the most amazing and humble you will find in Tanzania!
Viewpoint Adventures will not only give you up close and personal views of animals, but they provide a service that is like a family. The guides will give you LOTS of information and make sure that you're comfortable.

UNI Tanzania Experience
Coming to Tanzania has been an eye opening experience that I will never forget! I learned about the culture before going, but I learned so much more as I was there thanks to our guides Idi and Noel. From seeing and teaching in a school to walking around town to driving in the Serengeti, there was plenty to experience and 9 days was not enough time in Tanzania. I will be coming back someday soon and definitely reccommend Viewpoint Adventures!

Fun, Knowledgeable, & Professional
This was my first time going to Tanzania, and Viewpoint Adventures made my trip memorable! The guides speak very good English, so there was so problem with communication. The service was excellent. The guides are very very knowledgeable about every Tanzanian- the history, culture, animals, fun facts- they know it all and are happy to talk about it. They are also super fun guys to be around, I was constantly laughing! I spent a week and a half in Tanzania and we were always with our guides, and by the end of the trip it was very hard to say goodbye to them! The safari tour exceeded all expectations. Our guide made sure we saw all of "the big five" before we left. I highly recommend Viewpoint Adventures for your safari trip! I fully intend to travel back to Tanzania someday and I will be sure to go through Viewpoint Adventures again!

Honestly better than anything I could have expected.
Justin and all the guys at Tanzania Expeditions went above and beyond for both our trek up Kilimanjaro (7-day Lemosho route) and a 2-day camping safari in Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Parks. I went with 3 college friends and we're all active guys in our late 20's and decided against going with one of the more expensive luxury outfitters. What we got was better than anything else we saw on the mountain. The tents were great, the food was plentiful and delicious and, most importantly, the group was so much fun. The guides, Erick and Frank, and all the porters took such great care of us and made sure we had a great time. Their energy was contagious, and it was obvious that we were having more fun than any other groups on the mountain. I would definitely recommend them.
Also, when searching for companies, it was really difficult to find a local outfit in Arusha that seemed legit. Justin's communication was excellent the entire time and I felt really safe going with them as our tour guides on Kilimanjaro as well as our safari outfitters. I wouldn't change a thing, and I hope I can someday go back.

They made our honeymoon experience feel like heaven on earth
My wife and I have always wanted to visit Nairobi Kenya and so after our wedding we decided to go there for our honeymoon. Initially, we didn't wanna go for a Safari since we thought we couldn't afford but then we visited the offices of Surf Africa Tours to look for alternative hotel accommodation. As we were waiting to be served, we over heard a price quote for a gentlemen who had a son called Daniel and immediately my wife jumped on it and sure enough we got a very reasonable price for a complete Safari which included a tour from Nairobi - Masai mara- Naivasha- Nakuru and back to Nairobi. We had a blast through out, they were professional. knowledgeable and fun people to be around. Some parts of the roads were a little rough but the drive was extremely good and careful. We would like to come back and use tem again and again. Thank you Surf Africa Tours, you rock...:)

Simply the best choice we made on a Safari
We made the best choice ever: Surf Africa Tours was highly recommended by our friend (Frances) who used them in March, 2015 and what a wonderful time my 6 years old son and me had. The choice of accomodations has been excellent, nice cars, safe driving, great care to satisfy our desires and reasonable price.
We strongly reccomend especially for a safari with children and probably will be back someday to see other areas.
