Great and kind attention
We spent 5 days around Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with It Started in Africa. Everything worked as a clock, they were on time for every pick up at the airport or lodges. We chose level A accommodation plus level B in Ngorongoro. It was a good selection of place, and it is totally worth the extra money we spent.
The attention from the moment we requested information through email (Joao always answered back in less than 2-3 hours) until they left us at the airport the last day was really good.
The guide and driver (Simon and Zaire) had a wide knowledge about the area, animals and plants (plus an amazing sight that helped us to spot those), which enriched our experience. Very helpful and friendly.
We totally recommend the company.
If you are planning to go in the coming months and doubting because of ebola, from our experience we can say that is not a real threat.

Very unpleasant!
It has been a terrible experience with KetSafari Tour.
The only thing they seemed to want is your money and for the rest they didn't care. And the option we had chosen was not even so cheap.
We paid to spend more than a week sitting on a van everyday and travelling for more than 9 hours per day which was a boring and tiring experience and didn't worth the money paid. Once at the lodges what we were doing was sitting in the van (again!) for 2/3 hours to go out on safari with the most silent and speechless driver. On top of this it was even more irritating that we haven't seen much. I know that the safari experience is not like being in a zoo and you cannot predict wether you will see some animals or not but every time once back to the lodges there were bunches of people excited as they have seen many of the big five (especially the most difficult ones). And it was clear that it wasn't only luck but definitely they had a professional driver.
This made us upset all the time. The only 2 sentences our driver was able to say were that we had plenty of time and places to visit so we would have seen something and also he was begging us to invest money on him so we could buy him a new van and he could start his own business!
On the last day, on the way back we refused to stop for lunch despite it was already paid as we were looking forward to end that pain that was making us feeling SO sick!

It was an amazing well rounded experience , in the safari lodges, and the guides provided.
We were 12 travelers on the safari , the communication and the accommodation for the requests fulfilled by our agent MS Monique Dean was appreciated. The lodges recommended were of high class to our expectations, and the guides through out the journey were very informative about south Africa. we ere able to see the big 5.
mind blowing, awesome and very personalised tailored to suit you and you family
Beena and Umang the tour directors are very enthusiastic and genuinely want you to have a fantastic experience. This helps immensely as it takes the stress off the tour and you can relax that you are in best hands.
Communication with how you are getting on and any other personal needs such as a sim card, advise on shopping locally is always at hand.
Selection of the safari parks which can fit into your budget as well as their recommendation about balloon safari made our trip memorable.
The safari guide is very well experienced and makes sure you enjoy and get to see some memorable animal life including lions chasing buffalos and hyenas feasting on a zebra and lion preying on a gazelle.
watching animals in their own home at such close quarters with wild life was unthinkable for me and my family but upon safari made it a reality safely, comfortably and enjoyably
I would highly recommend you to book upon safari for a very well priced high quality tour.

Unforgettable East African Safari
Going on a safari was a very singular experience and unlike any trip we've ever done so far. We were very happy to have booked with Wildebeest Safaris. Noah, the proprietor, was very easy to talk to and, while planning for the trip, I had to make several changes in the itinerary and hotel bookings in consideration of the time and the chance to visit all the places in our very long list. Noah was very flexible and he made all the changes without complaint. Our focus on this trip was to be the Great Migration of wildebeest, and we weren't disappointed. Our guides took us to all the best places with the highest chances of witnessing this phenomenon. Our guides were Dennis and Hamza, both very friendly and easy to get along with, and very patient in answering all our questions about the animals and ecosystem in all the parks we visited. We were also very pleased with the accommodations, as they booked us in the best hotels suited to our budget. We were also able to spot all the Big 5, with the help of our very experienced tour guides.

Passionate and enthusiastic
Martin's passion and enthusiasm made our game drive even more memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide! We definitely recommend Elephant Herd Tours!

A fantastic travel agent
I went to Namibia in October 2014. It was my 4th trip with Sun Safaris over a period of 5 years. They are absolutely the best. Sun Safaris listens to what you, the client, want and adapts the trip which is truly customized. They know the countries, lodges and camps inside out. Their advise as well as the itinerary has been outstanding on all 4 trips. They are also excellent at planing extra activities (special hikes or hot air ballon for ex.) or recommend restaurants. In summary: For Africa, I highly recommend Sun Safaris and will definitively book my next trip with them.

Perfect trip to Lake Navasha, Mt. Longonot, and Hell's Gate
Our two day trip for five adults was organized exactly how we asked. The overnight stay at the cabin was a great choice and the chef that came along made delicious meals.
I would definitely use Tropical Vacations again!

Professional and prompt service
I have worked with Journeys Beyond for years but only now have I had a chance to experience their product on the ground and it's safe to say I couldn't have had a better experience. All of our arrangements ran smoothly and on time with professional and engaging staff to answer any of our queries that we had along the way. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Journeys Beyond to anyone.

A well established and very ethical tour operator, highly efficient staff, sociable and welcoming
I get lost of words on expectations. Africans have a way of reminding us they don't operate on the clock but EAV showed to be proffesional in all operations. Timely communication, the guide for a choice of safari, and all preps. The picnic pack was awesome, i enjoyed that long tour at Ngorongoro Crater with the two gentlement giving the history and even making a mark by helping me capture pictures of the wild animals which will remain part of my files. Actually they beat my expectations in all angles.
I would actually recommend EAV for any and every friend searching for tour related service in Arusha and i wish to grow and remain one of the good examples of quality service delivery in Africa.
