If it is Kenya or Tanzania, it has to be Africa Celebrity Tours
One of the best ground handlers and tour operator in Kenya and Tanzania. Hands on and would be there by the side of Guests at any point of time, which makes the difference, from rest of the crowd. The accommodations provided are right at the heart of the game reserves, with the best of facilities. superb vehicles along with drivers/guides who are more than willing to assist guests the best possible way, to make their trip, the most memorable. Unlimited safaris and unlimited drinking water are the key points.

Amazing experience, kept having to pinch ourselves
What an amazing experience. We went to two separate safaris with Hello Tanzania, Saadin and north Tanzania as well as had a driver organiser for us while staying in Zanzibar. We only got organised once we arrived in Tanzania and nothing was ever too much trouble. The personal attention we received made us feel special, it really was exceptional customer service. We didn't know what to expect and stayed in some amazing places, that exceeded our expectations. We especially loved 'Tent with a View' and 'Mapito Tented Camp' for location, style, size (we like small), quality of food and accommodation plus professional friendly staff. Totally 5 star!! We wished we stayed longer in both places!!! Our safaris were amazing because of the accommodation but also the experience of seeing so many animals so close - we really had to pinch ourselves that we were really there. What a memorable experience. Thank you Mwajabu for everything.

“An amazing safari experience from start to the end!”
Me and my husband went to safari in Tanzania (Serengeti, Tarangire and Lake Eyashi) in last November organised by The Story of Africa, and we had an amazing experience. From seeing the big cats and the big five were really fun and wonderful. Tuma our guide made a real effort for us to see as many animals as possible, including the hunting and samba mating! He also guide us with the story of those wildlife animals.
The chef Marko also very skilled and what a fun company - good food and we love his spaghetti :) Thank you also to Elizabeth who has been replying our emails back and forth in preparing our customise itinerary. We love the suggestion to visit the bush man and learn how they live and visit the iron process making by Maasai tribe in Lake Eyashi. I would suggest to The Story of Africa to improve their website or social media by uploading more client's pictures. But, overall we love to comeback and go safari again with The Story of Africa. Cheers!

We had an excellent experience that included tons of animals on safari & spectacular Victoria Falls
Michelle at Thorn Bush safaris did an excellent job! She was very patient with me and my friend and our endless questions. She made herself available 24-7 and was available over skype.
The safari in Chobe National park was spectacular. We saw lions, giraffes, crocodiles, hippo and buffalo - all on the first day. The lodges were air-conditioned and the pools were lovely. Our trip to the stunning Victoria Falls was the icing on the cake!

9 day Photographic Safari taking in three Nature Parks in South Tanzania organised and led by Chris.
This was a very intensive safari through 3 of Tanzania's Nature Parks at the end of the dry season led by Christopher Bartlett, who was a fountain of knowledge. I have only just got around to viewing some of the many stunning photographs obtained despite being a novice using a new and unfamiliar camera, I am very grateful to Christopher for his help and advice in this respect.
This tour was organised on a very tight budget so the accommodation was basic but adequate - quite an experience to have Elephants and other animals walking past the door in the middle of the night!
A very memorable experience and having now recovered, would very much like to go on another one!
Highly recommended.

I would reccomend Southern Destination, especially Camille, to anyone going to Africa!
There were 11 in our group traveling from California, ranging in age from 34 to 78. Camille was our agent. She is amazing. She would respond to all questions in a timely manner, even at a time when so much was going on in her own family. We traveled to 3 countries by plane, van or boat. We were always met my friendly guides at each destination. Our accommodations at each stop were wonderful. The tents at the safari camps were nothing like the scouts use. We called it "glamping", glamour camping. Camille was always available to us throughout our trip. I am only sorry I didn't get to meet her in person. Anyone going to Africa should use Southern Destinations. They exceeded all my expectations.

Amazing experience
I went on a safari to Ngorongoro Crater and the entire trip was absolutely amazing. I was actually staying with Tanzania Safari Land as a volunteer, so it was super convenient for a weekend getaway.
Shayo, the owner, arranged everything for me and a friend. The price was totally affordable, and the lodgings/tour guide/vehicle were all great. If you want a friendly, easy, and economical safari experience, then Tanzania Safari Land is definitely for you!
I also went on a trip to Zanzibar another weekend through Afrishare, and they booked my plane tickets and hotel as part of a package, and it included one sunset boat tour and snorkeling with a guide. Also an amazing trip!
We did Dolphin tour and our guide was well experienced
the service was Very good ever and with all details

More than perfect safari with Jackson and EasyTravel
As I decided to organize myself a 3-day safari in North Tanzania in February 2015 (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Manyara), I contacted 10 companies per mail. All of them responded quite fast, but EasyTravel offered me the best program and price. The correspondance with them was always very friendly, personal, clear and fast. Although I was a bit anxious after having made the full payment in advance, I was relieved that everything went perfectly well, the minute we went out of the airport on arrival in Tanzania (our first time in this country). We spent 3 nights in very nice lodges, which were recommanded by EasyTravel. Now the most important thing : our driver-guide Jackson! Travelling with him was just perfect : safe driving, sometimes not too fast to enjoy the landscape, sometimes fast to spot impressive animals. He gave us many informations about the animals and the country (I didn't expect to learn so many things!!), but he didn't talk all the time neither, that was perfect for us. Thanks to his patience and very acute and trained eyesight, we saw all the animals we wanted to see and many more... He was very adaptive and agreed to pick us up very early in the morning. All in all, I couldn't recommand more EasyTravel and Jackson for a perfect safari!
