Well organized operator, with excellent guide and material
Luitours was very responsive to our questions when composing a 15 day Southern Tanzania safari in accordance to our wishes. Khalifa proved to be an excellent guide, very friendly, knowledgeable and a good, proactive, thinker and organizer.
Strongly recommended and good value for money. We would hesitate to make another booking with Luitours.
Note: Older travellers (like us 80+) should be aware that travelling times of 7-8 hours may be required to cover 300 kms on some days.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tanzania
We had an amazing five-day safari with this agency in Tanzania. Each day was exceptional, filled with unforgettable encounters with the local population, thanks to our guide, as well as the excellent work of our chef. The food was delicious and varied, making our experience even more enjoyable. It was truly a wonderful human adventure.
What impressed me the most was the patience and deep knowledge our guide had of the three parks. Always smiling, punctual, and professional, the team strictly followed the planned itinerary, ensuring a seamless experience. We were incredibly lucky to see all the animals imaginable in their natural habitat. I believe this was made possible thanks to our guide’s dedication and expertise, allowing us to witness such incredible wildlife moments.
I have wonderful memories of this trip and sincerely thank the entire team for everything they did for us. I wish them great success in the future and highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania.

An Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Adventure: Gratitude to Our Guide Sam
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was an unforgettable experience, and I am thrilled to share my thoughts. The mountain itself is truly magnificent, with breathtaking views and diverse landscapes that change as you ascend. From lush rainforests to barren alpine deserts, each stage of the climb offers a unique and awe-inspiring experience.
Our guide Sam and his team played an instrumental role in making this journey successful. His knowledge of the mountain and his experience were invaluable. He was not only professional but also incredibly supportive, ensuring that we were well-prepared and well-cared for throughout the climb. Sam’s ability to manage the group’s pace and his keen attention to our physical and mental well-being made the challenging journey much more manageable.
I particularly appreciated how Sam encouraged us during the tough moments and shared fascinating insights about the mountain’s history and ecology. His positive attitude and leadership skills were truly inspiring. Thanks to Sam’s guidance, we were able to reach the summit and witness the stunning sunrise from the mountain, a moment that will remain etched in our memories forever.
I highly recommend choosing an experienced guide like Sam and his
team for anyone planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

smooth communication and responds quickly
I left Zanzibar for 2 days of safari, day 1 Tarangire and day 2 Ngorongoro. I didn't have to do anything, Musa organized everything for us. Someone picked us up at our hotel in Stone Town and I was dropped off in Jambiani at the end of this magical trip. Musa took care of everything, plane ticket, shuttle and safari. We ate very well during the two days and our guide "matcha" is the best. Thanks to him we were able to see very closely: lion, zebra, elephant, giraffe, pelican, hippopotamus, baboon and many others. I highly recommend. You will love it! Thanks to the whole team of "expedition superheroes »

Anipa tours made our safari perfect
From the original conversations with Imelda who spent countless hours helping me plan our stay and answering all of our general questions and concerns to spending an amazing 4 days with our guide Tony Anipa really were amazing.
Also must say a special thank you to both Imelda and Tony for working hard to retrieve our luggage which BA did not deliver until 2 days into our holiday. Imelda collected the luggage from the airport and organised transporting it 300km across Kenya to our location.
Highly recommended.

Experience of a lifetime with extremely helpful and friendly guide
We did a four-day tour to see the golden monkeys in Volcanoes NP and the gorillas in Bwindi. Be sure to ask for Smith on this trip— he was a fantastic guide throughout the whole journey.
Upon picking us up in Kigali, he was immediately warm and friendly, and constantly went out of his way to show us sites we were interested in, and give us tips and information about local customs.
He expertly guided us out of the city and across the border into Uganda, using his charm to befriend all the police and border guards and locals we interacted with, many of whom he knew personally. Before dropping us off at our hotels each night, he phoned ahead to make sure the staff expected us. We had absolutely zero problems and were always on time for our excursions.
He is also an excellent driver, and we always felt safe in his vehicle, even with children darting into the highways, or on steep dirt roads in the mountains of Uganda. The journey would have been very intimidating without his help!
We passed through Kabale, his hometown, where he introduced us to his lovely family and showed us the local markets before we spent the night at nearby beautiful Lake Bunyonyi. We think he is an excellent guide, a kind person, and somebody we would seek out again whenever we are in his region.

The great guide mirambo
We just completed an incredible 5-day safari in Tanzania, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the first to the last day, every moment was a dream come true, made even more special by our guide, Mirambo.
Mirambo was simply exceptional: knowledgeable, passionate and always attentive to our needs. His knowledge of the local fauna and flora is extraordinary, and thanks to him we were able to spot the Big Five at close range, as well as many other animals in their natural habitat. Every day he surprised us with perfectly planned routes, always finding the best places to observe the animals and enjoy breathtaking views.
In addition to being an expert guide, Mirambo is also a wonderful person: friendly, patient and with a great sense of humor, he made the trip even more enjoyable. He told us fascinating stories about the local culture and traditions, making us feel truly immersed in the magic of Tanzania.
The organization of the safari was impeccable, with comfortable accommodations and delicious meals, always accompanied by spectacular views of the savannah. Every detail has been taken care of with great attention, making this experience absolutely perfect.
If you are thinking of a safari in Tanzania, we recommend you without a doubt to rely on Mirambo: thanks to him, our trip was far beyond expectations! We return home with our hearts full of emotions and with the desire to return soon. Asante sana, Mirambo!
