Wonderful vacation with beautiful sites and accommodations.
African Travel Waves Safari did everything they said and then some. We had excellent communications prior to our trip and they accommodated all of our requests. They were prompt, polite and very knowledgeable about what is needed in a successful safari. We traveled to three parks and the lodging and meals were wonderful. The game drives were excellent and we saw many many African animals up close. Our driver, Tom was a great guide for us. He knew what, where and when to look for all the animals we saw. I would recommend them without hesitation. Paul and Kris.

Wonderful, Wonderful Safari
We had a ten night safari with Makasa that took in a night at Olpopongi Masai Village, a day at Lake Manyara, 4 nights on the Serengeti and two days in Ngorogoro Crater. After that Makasa organised our internal flights, transfers and accomodation on Zanzibar before we came home. Every part of the safari exceeded our expectations. Our accomodation in various lodges and tented camps was superb. Our driver and guide, David, was wonderful and extremely knowledgable. He really made sure we saw as much as we possibly could whilst we were with him. We managed to see all of the 'Big 5' and had amazing close encounters with lions, cheetah and other animals that were absolutely incredible. Everything, from the initial pick up at Kilimanjaro Airport to our departure from Dar Es Salaam was flawless. This was our first safari, but it definitely won't be our last. I cannot recommend Makasa enough.

Great Safari adventure and life-time experience on Kilimanjaro
Me and a friend did get in touch with several companies for the Kilimanjaro trek and OT offered the best value for money. Another reason for going with them was the effort and patience they had with us. Sarah, our main contact at OT, was very helpful and always very fast with her responses.
I ended up booking a Safari (4 days - 3 nights) with them since I had more than one week of free time before the trek started. I did Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater and ended up with an amazing experience. The driver, Issack, did a great job and we saw the big five and millions of other animals. I could not ask for a better adventure. The equipment was great, even during rainy days and our car did not break down compared to many others which we saw along the way. Issack and Ngosi were great company and tried to help wherever and whenever possible.
Since I requested about volunteering as well, yet did not have time to spend more than a couple of days volunteering, Sarah had the brilliant idea to put me in a hostel which normally hosts only volunteers. I ended up with long conversations with the responsible of the projects/organizations and the volunteers and were able to visit an orphanage for one afternoon. And, as cliché as it might sound, it was most likely the most fun afternoon I had in Arusha.
The Kilimanjaro hike was also well organized with great experienced guides and porters. We had a great time the whole week and successfully reached the top of Africa! The food and tent was perfect and the guides were able to help us in any situation. Even my friend who had troubles coping with the altitude from the 3rd day on was able to reach the top and this is very much due to the experience of the guides - Ally and Rama. Thank you so much again!!
So if you are planning on going to Tanzania for Safari or any other activity, Original Tanzania will definitely provide you a great experience all along the way.

Great Trek
The trek was excellent and we had a great time going up Mt.Kenya. Both of us successfully reached Lenana Peak, so that was a bonus. We were amazed at the beautiful scenery and enjoyed a relaxed and well-organized holiday with the added benefit of a great accomplishment. Thanks so much for your help organizing things... I would definitely recommend Beacon Safaris, as you all did a great job!”

Wonderful time
As our first family safari, we thank Beacon Safaris and particularly Victor our guide and of course Robert for organizing such a great trip for us. The amazing animals and breathtaking sceneries were enlightening. It is the best adventure we have taken so far as a family.

Incredibly Fantastic
We enjoyed our safari with Beacon safaris and Mweri as our guide. The animals were incredibly fantastic. We were very lucky to see all of the Big Five. Our driver was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Thanks Beacon for organizing a lifetime adventure, we will cherish the memories for ever.

Excellent service, Excellent guides & porters, Excellent management
I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro via Rongai route and visited Ngorongoro Conservation Area in December 2014, with a big group (28 people) from Thailand. George and his Kilimanjaro Brothers team did a great job taking care of us. George and his team tried their best to ensure all of us would reach the top. And we were pleased with our group's summit success rate (26 out of 28 people or 93%).
During my summit attempt, my porter, Zacharia, really helped me, motivated me, stayed with me all the time and walked with me all the way to the end. He was the light in my darkest hours. Without his support, I would not have made it to the Uhuru Peak.
All in all, I highly recommend George Mtaki and Kilimanjaro Brothers!
