Wonderful safari
When I was planning my safari trip to Kenya, I studied and received offers from many companies. In the end, I chose Africa Starpal Tours & safaris because they offered the lowest price. But this was just the case when the low price was not at the expense of quality. Africa Starpal Tours & safaris fully fulfilled all its obligations. Everything that we discussed in advance met our expectations - the route, hotels, car, national parks, absolutely everything. Everything went exactly according to plan without a single glitch. I would like to separately write a few words about our guide Morris. He was a wonderful guide. When we drove through the national parks, he really tried and looked for animals in the bushes and grass, and did not just sit and wait for someone to report something interesting on the radio. And thanks to his efforts, we were able to see almost all the animals that could be seen. We just didn’t manage to see a leopard. But, as Morris says: "This is not a zoo, and no one can give a 100% guarantee to see all the animals." But we were able to watch a whole family of 9 lions devouring a buffalo 4-5 meters from our car! I would also like to note that Morris is a very professional driver. He drove us very quickly and at the same time safely. During the entire time, there was not a single time when he created an emergency situation or missed a hole in the road in the dark. So for his skills as a guide, I give him 5+ and for his driving skills - also 5+ !!! Well, he is simply a nice person with whom you can talk, joke and laugh. Well, that's probably all. Naturally, I will recommend this company to all my friends if they decide to go on safari. Thank you guys! You are real professionals!

The amazing vibes of Serengeti
During our trip (duration 7 full days) we visited for 3 days/2 nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and 4 days Zanzibar, staying one day in Stonetown and 3 days in an all inclusive resort in Nwungi Beach. The weather in Serengeti was marvelous - sunshine 16-26 degrees Celcius, however, as we were there at end of the rainy season we had the chance to see the Park dressed in green and the rivers and lakes full of water (green grass all over, green bushes etc). So the scenery was amazing. We booked our safari with Serengeti African Tours and everything went on smoothly. Dickson, our guide, was an excellent driver, which counted a lot as many paths in the Park were full of mud and water and it was easy to stuck. He also knew all the spots with the animals and plenty of information about them. The tented camp and the lodge we stayed were very nice. Accomodation was more then satisfactory and the food great. In Zanzibar we went without a tour operator. We stayed in Park Hyatt in Stonetown and Riu Palace in Nwungi, which were great, great breakfast, by the beach, excellent service, with one bad night in Riu, were a cocoroach walked on me while sleeping and they changed us rooms until they spayed and clean the room next morning. For some hours before our flight to Athens we booked a room in Tembo House which had good service but the room was terrbily hot as the air condition was either too weak for that room of mulfunctioning and did not improve although we complained about it. Overall I think that it vital that in Zanzibar one stays in 5 stars hotels otherwise one risks more to face inadequacies that spoil the trip. Weather in Zanzibar is not so good as it it hot and VERY humid and you stink from the first 5 minutes that you walk out. However, the nature is very nice and while you swim and saty by the beach it is nice. We were lucky to have an excellent taxi driver when getting around in Zanzibar (Omary), which is vital as the roads and the traffic there are madness, especially when it gets dark and I do not recommend for anyone to self drive there. As I am a traveller who likes to be independent and I like to rent a car wherever I go, I consider this as a serious disadvantage of Zanzibar. Also, one thing I want to mention is that as a woman travelling without my husband I faced some ridiculus problems especially at the domestic airport of Zanzibar and Arusha when traveling to and from Serengeti. The personel of FlightLink in both trips tried to cause me problems in order to offer solution which called for TIPS! When I was flying to Serengeti they lied to me telling that my flight was canceled ( the plane departed on time after 2 hours, eventually with me inside as an employee of the Zanzibar airport said to the personel of Flightlink something) and when we were returning to Zanzibar they did not load my backpack, weight 8 kilos and a backpack of another italian lady, weight 2 kilos, and the explanation was that plane was overloaded (there were many empty seats, as it was low season) !!! No male passenger faced the same problem, altough they had huge and heavy luggage! Coincidence ? I do not think so. When my backpack arrived with the next flight after 90 minutes they "helped"me carry it to the taxi, hoping for tip which I did not give of course! Last, Ï want to mention the VISA and ZIC insurance that add almost 90 euros or dollars on the budget of the trip without any justicication ! It is just an easy way to exploit - but not sustainably - the tourists that visit Tanzania. These 2 charges make sure that we will not come back, although we had a very good time, plus the fact that the trip is not very expensive nor too long, so it can be repeated by the same tourist.

Zulu Nyala: An Unforgettable Adventure
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the entire team at Zulu Nyala for providing an extraordinary and unforgettable holiday experience. Immersing myself in the serene beauty of nature was truly the highlight of the trip, and every moment will be cherished as a treasured memory.
The outings were exceptional, each surpassing expectations. A special mention goes to James, whose professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail elevated our St. Lucia tour and boat trip to an unforgettable level. His warm demeanor and dedication made every moment special, from the breathtaking views to the thrill of dipping my feet in the sea.
The Lion Safari was another remarkable highlight, fulfilling our lifelong dream. Musa, our ranger, brought an unmatched sense of adventure and humor to the experience. His expertise and sharp eye for spotting wildlife were remarkable, ensuring we didn’t miss a single opportunity for awe-inspiring sightings. Musa’s determination to help us witness a lion up close, combined with his passion for his work, was truly inspiring.
One of the most memorable experiences was the elephant interaction, which was nothing short of magical. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will forever hold a special place in my heart.
The game drives within Zulu Nyala were equally breathtaking. Every detail felt meticulously planned, allowing us to fully appreciate the natural beauty and wildlife of the region.
I would also like to commend the entire Zulu Nyala team for their exceptional hospitality. From Percy’s warm welcome at the airport to the impeccable service throughout our stay, the staff demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and a genuine commitment to ensuring our comfort. Their efforts made the experience seamless and truly extraordinary.
Thank you once again for creating such an incredible adventure. Your dedication to excellence has left me with memories I will cherish for a lifetime.

Unforgettable, Authentic Tanzanian Safari Experience Tailored to Perfection with Local Expertise.
I recently returned from an unforgettable safari with Benson Safaris Tanzania, and I cannot praise them enough! Their local presence as a Tanzania-based company truly sets them apart, offering unparalleled insight into the region’s culture, landscapes, and wildlife. As a solo traveler, I was impressed by their attentiveness—they carefully listened to my preferences and crafted a perfect itinerary tailored just for me. My journey included the Serengeti National Park, Tarangire National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Crater.
My guide, Zablon, was exceptional in every way. His remarkable skill in spotting wildlife ensured I saw the Big Five and countless other species, exceeding all my expectations. As a local from Arusha, he shared the rich culture of the area, an experience I will always treasure. His knowledge of the best spots for landscape and wildlife photography was invaluable, making the trip even more special as a hobbyist photographer.
Benson Safaris Tanzania’s meticulous planning was flawless. From luxurious tented lodges with incredible food and breathtaking views to unforgettable experiences like a walking safari, night safari drive, and a hot air balloon ride, every detail was handled with care.
One of the most memorable moments was meeting Benson, the company’s owner. His passion for Tanzania and commitment to creating exceptional experiences for his guests were inspiring. Hearing his story was a privilege and a testament to the heart behind the company.
This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and I wholeheartedly recommend Benson Safaris Tanzania to anyone seeking an authentic, personalized, and truly unforgettable experience in Tanzania!
