Far beyond expectations
Just a few weeks ago we were immersed in astonishing landscapes with the most wonderful animals and colours around us.
When we booked the Safari tour (thanks to a completely random situation - got the agency name from a friend), little did we know that we would have experienced a once (hopefully more) in a lifetime trip.
The tailoring of the offer was extremely efficient and fast, though very informal (WhatsApp). The entire trip was shaped according to our needs and modified numerous times to address changes in dates and accommodations. No sign of frustration was shown by Marry, the agent who organized everything for us.
Once the confirmation fee was payed there were no more contacts until we landed in Kilimanjaro. We were a bit worried as we believed some of the info had not been shared.
Long story short, the entire trip was far beyond expectations. The level of the accommodations was above anything I had ever witnessed. The lunches during everyday game drive were awesome and much better than most of the other people’s lunches in the picnic areas. Almost always cooked and tasty lunch boxes. Private driver/guide and car for the 2 of us. The driver himself was really nice and available. No stress for any reason and no pressure to leave very very early in the morning. He was not mad even if he had to often wait 20/30 minutes for us to be ready.
Safari experience was amazing.
The only thing that I would like to point out is the following: the level and the quality of the agency is much higher then they are showing. Communication was a bit off and the overall “front page” looked a bit sketchy and not completely trustworthy, which made you doubt in some moments if you did the right choice.
As soon as you step in the first park, everything changes. It becomes clear that they know their stuff, the hotels, and they have great connections. We have had a much better holiday with them than with other agencies who offered less for double the price.
Value for money: 10/10
My only suggestion to them would be to invest some more energy and resources on communication, infrastructure (website, references etc), and pre-arrival info so that clients have everything clear and taken care of before they even have the time to have any doubt.
100% recommended.

Very accommodating, nice people
Went for 3 day hike to Kilimanjaro. Great price and overall good experience. Only complaint is sleeping bag which did not keep you warm enough at night. Recommend buying your own because it is below freezing at night

Amazing Safari Experience at a Great Price!
Overall, the safari was a wonderful experience! The drivers were very dedicated and did their best to find as many animals as possible, while also sharing lots of interesting information about the wildlife and nature.
There was plenty of food provided during the trip, although vegetarians had to make a few compromises with the available options.
Unfortunately, some changes in the tour schedule were not clearly communicated, which caused a bit of confusion, and one overnight stay was not booked correctly.
Despite these small organizational issues, everything else was truly enjoyable — and considering the good price, the overall experience was absolutely worth it!

Overall good experience, but we were not informed about the additional fee before arrival
We had such a wonderful time on our first safari with James! He always managed to get us the best spots to see the animals and patiently explained every species in great detail — you can truly feel how much he knows and cares about wildlife. He’s also really funny and responsible, which made every ride both safe and enjoyable. My friends and I had so much fun, and even our carmates were lovely — the whole experience was unforgettable. I’ll definitely miss it (and James!) 💛

My first Safari trip
My first safari trip was wonderful memory and experience. Good recommendation and arrangement by Ways Of Africa - Thank you! The area concerned me was, late response for the final confirmation of the agenda and payment as it took longer time that required several approaches from my ends.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Gerjanne Bosman
I didn't like it that much. Maybe because i fell in love with the Serengeti and we have visited Ngorongoro after the Serengeti

Pastory was always helpful and informative
Pastory was an excellent driver and guide. He was always eager to assist and offer advice . He contributed to a truly wonderful family holiday and lifetime experience.

He was very knowledgeable and interesting
The pick up was prompt and the much-needed arm blankets were provided for the cold, early morning drive. Our driver was very polite and had a good knowledge of the park and the animals. He kept in contact with other game drivers/rangers to find out where the best game was located so we could get excellent viewing. By 09h30, we had seen Lion, elephant, buffalo, Leopard and just some very distant Rhino and plenty f Giraffe,Zebra, a set of just born hyenas and plenty of impalas.
Only negative was that we returned mid-afternoon and I think other game drives continued till closing of gates

An adventure of a lifetime

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with the moonstroll safari team. Dylos is an amazing guide with such a wealth of knowledge about the animals and how to find them. He was always happy to answer any questions about the animal and their habitats, as well as about the history and culture of the areas. His knowledge of the parks was also very impressive, there are so many winding roads and pathways, and he always seemed to know where they led and how they all linked together.
We also had three porters with us who shadowed us in a backup vehicle. They put the tents up and cooked our meals, and made sure we were always catered for. The food was fantastic, especially considering how remote we were at the time.
Our trip as a whole was incredibly successful although we did face some challenges along the way. We managed to see almost every animal you could imagine: cheetahs, lions, wild dogs, leopards, hyenas and much more, all within the first couple days.
We did have some car problems that we couldn't fully resolve until Kasane but this just demonstrated how incredibly resourceful Dylos and his team were in keeping the vehicles running.
All in all, I would say that this sort of trip is not for those who are faint of heart, but for those who want a real adventure and relish a challenge.
