We could not expect a better service than what Nature Responsible Safari Company provided us.
It is often said that a safari greatly depends on the quality of the safari company; and Nature Responsible Safari Company is definitely the responsible for the memorable success of our 12 days safari tours in Northern Tanzania. I am also adding that a great company is due to a great manager and Fransisca is that one. From the first contact, through all the planning process, up to the welcome at arrival everything was made by Fransisca to make our holidays being at the best.
During the preparation phase Fransisca continuously made her best to understand my wishes and propose me a program that suits them. She was proactive, as I asked for a canoe safari on Manyara Lake, she checked the water level was sufficient, then came back to me with another alternative at Arusha NP. She also proposed me several options with different prices.
At arrival, she came to meet us at the hotel in Arusha prior to leave for the safari trip. She even offered us some Masai sheet!
Our guide was highly experienced and able to spot animals from far. He clearly understood we were not there for rushing from one spot to another and could spend 1 hour or more at same place as long as the spectacle there has worth.
I can only recommend Nature Responsible Safari Company to everyone.

I would not go anywhere else....
My first trip with African Encounter was about 12 years ago. Elaine and Patrick provided knowledgeable, personalized, professional, detailed advice and trip planning. I was a first-time visitor to South Africa and that was my first safari. My experience was so outstanding that I've engaged African Encounter as my sole travel provider and willingly recommended them to friends and business associates.
I cannot overstate how happy I am with this company. They treat me as if I am their only customer and have never steered me wrong. I use Elaine and Patrick to plan my travels one to two times per year with absolute confidence. They know their business hands-down! I will continue to trust them with my travel needs and unequivocally recommend them to anyone.

Fabulous
From being picked up to being dropped off we had an unforgettable experience. Our guide Nick was just brilliant, he was so patient (same questions being asked over again), his knowledge was phenomenal, he went out of his way to make sure we saw lots of animals even though it was the rainy season. We were very well looked after throughout and there was much hilarity mistaking rocks for animals! Can hardly wait for another holiday in South Africa and the Kruger. Well done Wildlife Safaris, top class company.
Simple and Enjoyable
My colleagues did a safari tour to Africa in January,it was a 10 day safari where we covered two countries;Uganda and Kenya.In Uganda it was so much fun, where we went to visit the mountain gorillas. With a good driver guide Charles in Uganda it was so great…..TRhanks to KWSS for a safari well organized.

Attention to details and great guide made for a wonderful trip.
Went to Uganda with Matoke, 10 day tour. Wim provided many details during the planning of the trip regarding travel times (very difficult without local knowledge), camp and food accommodations, and activities. I was able to tailor the whole trip to my desires, and everything went beautifully. My guide was Musa, a long time guide, with lots of local insight to the culture, landscape, flora and fauna of Uganda. He clearly takes pride in being Ugandan, and travelling alone with him for 10 days was informative and always pleasurable. Our schedule included many long days, and Musa endured them all with a smile. I would not hesitate to recommend Matoke to anyone considering African travel, and would ask for Musa specifically if I return to the area.

Great Stuff
We booked our trip with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris as a group of 10 medical practitioners. We wanted to visit Kenya and Uganda.It was a nice experience that none of us would not wish to forget.
One of the most spectacular trips I have ever done!
Communications to organise the itinerary and finalise the bookings, were prompt and efficient, and everything went according to plan during the trip which was absolutely fabulous. The guide's knowledge of all the tracks was remarkable and as a result we saw loads of birds and wildlife.

We will think of this outstanding and very successful safari for the rest of our lifes.
We were greeted by our excellent driver Confidence, who went out of his way to please us. A very safe driver, too. The accommodation and food were very good and the game drives very successful. We did see the chimpanzees and the gorillas both after one hour walk. Everything was well organized and the day drives not too long. We can only recommend Matoke tours!

Honeymoon in Tanzania
It Started in Africa organized our honeymoon in Tanzania. We did the south of the country and visited Selous game reserve and Zanzibar. Joao was very prompt to reply to all our emails and phone calls, we were received by a lovely driver in the airport and the safari guide was awesome. There was some confusion regarding the hotel where we were supposed to stay in Dar es Salaam but apart from that minor issue, everything was flawless and the zanzibar stay was unforgettable. Thanks Joao, Baraja, Martin, Sylvia and Lawrence for making our dream honeymoon reality.
