Friendly and well organised, flexible.
I went on this safari with my two sons and their friend. It was a fantastic experience, and although expensive, worth every penny. The journey to and from Arusha was quite long, but, the scenery changes throughout as you climb towards the crater. The journey also provides an insight into Tanzanian life as you pass through the villages and bustling towns. However, the highlight is the extraordinary crater. Your first view, after passing through the Ngorongoro entrance gate, is quite staggering. The shear size of the expanse in front of you is mind blowing. When you get down to the crater floor you are immediately surrounded by wildlife and we saw four of the big five, including an intriguing encounter between two female and one male lions, some wildebeest and a hyena. We had a lovely picnic at the water hole, with hippos bobbing out of the water only a few yards away. The flamingos and pelicans were another of my personal highlights.

Reliable and attentive
We did the 7-day Machame hike... Which we decided to decrease to six (as we learned we're just not campers) for my husband's 49+1 birthday. The Kisaza team really celebrated the event for him in a surprising way. Michael and Ezekiel were our trek guides and they took great care of us from the beginning. They clearly knew I was the liability and they stayed by my side. Michael prepared us at night for the next day's hike and Ezekiel often set the pace. We decided not to summit because I was suffering from altitude sickness but they continued the trip just as encouraging. We'd undoubtedly take them again, if for some reason we wanted to camp!

Truly Wonderful and Memorable
We had one of the most memorable safaris in Tanzania. We saw more than 70 lions, hundreds of elephants, thousands of wildebeest and zebras and many other different animals. Our guide Juma went above and beyond to make our game drives in the parks wonderful. He handled the vehicle expertly and kept us safe along the highways and the parks.
We were struck by the splendour and beauty of Serengeti and Ngorongoro that made us feel like we were in an Animal Planet shooting set. The accommodations and food through out the trip were outstanding.
I would love to have another go of this trip.

In anticipation world of uncertainty, have the confidence that this company will come through for yo
On any guided tour, the guide will be the determining factor between a good trip and a excellent one. On this 4 day Gorilla tour, our guide was Smith. He is energized, enthusiastic, and clearly loves his job. I would recommend him for anyone coming to Uganda to experience the Gorillas. As experienced travellers, we never expect things to be perfect and will likely forget all the things that exceeded our expectations and will laugh about all the things that weren't quite what we expected. Come to Uganda with an open mind and enjoy it for what it is. I believe that we got good value from Lulu and would recommend them to future travellers.

Super speedy and professional - could not have asked for more
Engaged Off2Africa to organise a Kruger and Victoria Falls trip as a last minute trip (in early January) while in the thick of the Christmas season, and Chloe the manager was so speedy and professional with all her response! Everything was organised very quickly - and all details were thought of and taken cared of. The trip itself was fantastic too - great selection of hotels and activities. Could not have asked for more and and I highly recommend Off2Africa indeed.

wondeful safari
We have done safaris before and found them through safaribooking.com and were never disappointed.
Mountain worries offered a wonderful 4 days 4nights itinerary and lodging. I had told about my gluten free diet requirement and was provided with required meals. We saw a lot of wild animals and got see local people. I was one of the best holidays we have had. Everything was great thanks to Gasto, Rehema, Innocent and Osman

Better than expected
This was my first Safari and I usually never do tours with companies or operators. But the experience was wonderful, the organization for the natural reserves and the places to sleeps was very good. Our guide was Francis ("The Faru") always had a good attitude, a nice smile, very respectful with the animals, a very experienced guide that I would recommend 100%

the door to a world of emotions!
in October we went to visit the Serengeti park after a visit to Mwanza on Lake Victoria. Our driver, accompanied by the cook, came to pick us up at the hotel with a covered (and very comfortable) jeep and in just over an hour we arrived at the entrance to the park. Our guide, very knowledgeable and very kind, took care of everything and assisted us throughout the visit: documents at the entrance, tour of the park, explanations and stops and overnight stay. The guide knew all the other guides we met while exploring the park and this is very important because the guides exchange information in real time on where to find the animals that live in the wild. We were thus able to see live, in their natural environment, an incredible quantity and variety of animals: elephants, lions, herbivores of all species, monkeys, birds, warthogs, crocodiles, but above all hippos. We spent the night in the "very noisy" savannah near a river crowded with hippos and it was the most exciting thing of our trip: hearing the animals roar in the night, but being safe inside a delicious little house! A safari is an unforgettable experience if you are accompanied by a trained guide and you rely on a good organization, like Ayo Jenga!

Amazing experience
It was our first safari trip and we weren’t sure what to expect but Emma put us on ease by answering all our questions and doubts and gave us some great advice and tips. Everything was well organized from start to finish, all we had to do was relax and enjoy our safari adventure. It was simply amazing to experience so much wildlife thanks to our experienced and patient guide Abrahman. Not only was he a great driver but as well spotted many animals that we would have easily missed. We spend around a week in the various NP-Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Each of them well worth it and the accommodation was lovely.
After the safari we flew to Zanzibar for a few a few days and enjoyed the spice tour, the beach and water activities at our hotel. The only pity was that we didn’t have more holidays left!
Many thanks to Emma and her team at Sunset adventure safari for the great service and adventure! In addition thanks for getting our lost luggage at airport safely back to our hotel!

Excellent 3days safari
Could not have asked for a better safari! Booking process very smooth. I travelled solo and meet a bunch of nice people, the vibe was great. Jonhy Jackson (the driver) was really kind, patient and knowledgeable about the animals. We were impressed by how he could predict animal’s behavior so he would move the car to be able to see them from the best spot. Really recommend Axis and hope you are lucky to have Jonhy as driver!
