Overall good service - planning stage was average, execution of tour was above average/fantastic.
Planning (average):
During the planning stage, tour operator was very helpful in making changes to the itinerary based on what we requested for, and provided different options for us to choose from along with recommendations as well. However, our names were mostly mis-spelled (we were occasionally even given names which were not ours), and sometimes the questions we had would remain unanswered (e.g. whether luggages with wheels would be allowed; whether we need to bring cash in the local currency instead of just USD) and we would need to do our own research through the internet which honestly defeats the purpose of having a tour operator, in my opinion. Nonetheless, the execution of the tour was near perfect.
Execution (above average):
Upon arrival at the airport, our guide, Stanford, greeted us warmly and enthusiastically and was diligent in providing us with a run-through of our overall itinerary while assuring us that he would give us reminders every now-and-then about what would be happening next, what time to gather, etc - which was helpful as not everyone in the group was fully aware of the itinerary. He would also readily provide answers to our questions about the things/animals we saw, places we visited, etc, and even provided further information that he thought would enhance our experience (e.g. the local culture and practice). One big plus point for us (as we were there mainly to see the animals) was that Stanford has really good eyesight - he spotted animals hiding in the bushes alongside the roads/highways even though they were about 50-100 metres away and we were travelling at speeds of 100km/h or more. Stanford is an amazing guide who not only paid attention to our needs and moods/emotions but also enhanced our experience through casual conversation and explanation of how things worked in the areas we visited, while keeping us aware of what would happen next (so there would not be unwanted surprises) and made us feel safe and secure at all times.
Overall, we are satisfied by the services provided and will definitely engage their services again in the future.

Unforgettable 5 day ultra luxury safari experience
We had an amazing 5-day ultra-luxury safari with Mellivora African Travels. Everything was perfectly organized, from the luxury accommodations to the professional guiding and seamless transfers. We explored Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire, enjoyed incredible wildlife sightings, and stayed in beautiful lodges with exceptional service. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made every day unforgettable. Highly recommend Mellivora African Travels to anyone looking for a premium safari experience in Tanzania!

The best experience ever, thanks to Michael!
The company itself is already an inspiration. They all are very helpfull, they think ahead and they always make sure you are getting the experience you want. Beforehand, our friends booked this stay and we read a lot of promising reviews about this company. Well, everything was true. They plan everything for you so you don’t have to think about anything from being picked up at your stay in zanzibar, to taking the ferry, to being picked up with a nameboard and taking the train (or in our case, going with the car) to arriving at mikumi and the stays they arrange are amazing. For us dutchies (from the Netherlands) that already is a big plus. But, i have to say, there is only one person who have made our safari and the whole journey in Tanzania as perfect and wonderful as it could be. Our tourguide named Michael is one of the most special persons we have every met. He is kind, has a good and pure heart and he knows a lot about the animals. Everywhere we go, he had a story to tell, information to give and questions he could answer. He brought his book with him and have all the information about the animals that there was. Now, in the Netherlands, we have a lot to tell to our friends and family other than showing them the pictures. He is kind hearted and has love for the animals and the wild life, something that makes the experience for us a thousand times better. Without him, our experience would be good but now, because of Michael, it was perfect. He knows all the good spots of where the animals hide, we even got to see hyena’s and lions (more than once!!!!!).
Michael, thank you for everything! If we ever go back to Tanzania, we will come again to Mikumi to meet you. Every friend or family who is interested in going to safari in Tanzania, we will recommend your company and tell them to ask for Michael as their tour guide.

An extremely professional driver‑guide good at spotting wildlife
I have just finished my unforgettable safari trip in Kenya, and I cannot help writing this sincere review to express my great gratitude to our driver‑guide Mr.Songe. This journey has become one of the most precious travel experiences I have ever had, all thanks to his outstanding professionalism.
First of all, I would like to speak highly of his great professionalism. Whether we were travelling on the long‑distance roads or staying inside the wildlife parks, he performed perfectly. He knew the whole reserve extremely well. With rich experience, he could efficiently locate different kinds of wild animals for us. Thanks to his sharp observation and deep knowledge of animal habits, we spotted plenty of wildlife that we hoped to see within a short time during our game‑viewing drives. Meanwhile, he drove safely and smoothly on rough country roads throughout the whole journey.
Besides his excellent wildlife‑finding skills, his tour service was absolutely impeccable and considerate all through the trip. He was always patient, warm‑hearted and responsible. He arranged our daily itinerary properly, reminded us of safety rules ahead of time, and tried his best to satisfy our reasonable demands. In addition, he introduced local culture as well as facts about wild animals, enriching our safari experience greatly.
Overall, this was a fantastic trip. I strongly recommend this travel agency and their well‑trained driver‑guides to anyone planning a visit to Kenya. I will recommend them to my relatives and friends without hesitation.

AMAZING Shout out to tour guide Michael!
My wife and I had an absolutely amazing time on this safari. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The adventure itself was beautiful, and seeing the wildlife in their natural habitat was an unforgettable experience.
What made this trip truly special was our tour guide Michael. He was fantastic in every way. His English was excellent, he explained everything clearly and in great detail, and he always took his time to make sure we had the best possible experience. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and passionate about his work. Honestly, I cannot stop complimenting him – he made this safari so much more enjoyable.
This was without a doubt the best adventure I have ever had, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tanzania. If you’re thinking about booking this safari, do it – you won’t regret it!
Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

A professional and responsible team that can organize an amazing vacation, ensuring everything runs
We had an amazing experience with Family Leisure Africa Safaris from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout the entire booking process, and every question was answered promptly and professionally.
The team was responsible, reliable, and organized everything perfectly, allowing us to enjoy a stress-free vacation without any delays or complications. Every detail of the tour was well planned, from transfers and accommodations to the safari experiences themselves.
The service exceeded our expectations, and we felt that the tour offered excellent value for money. The safari was unforgettable, giving us incredible opportunities to see wildlife and enjoy the beauty of Kenya.
A special thank you to our guide, Shem. He always seemed to know exactly where to find every animal. Even when other vehicles were leaving, he confidently knew where we would find a rhino, a lion, or a leopard. His knowledge, experience, and instincts were truly impressive.
Beyond being an exceptional guide, Shem is a kind, caring, and genuinely warm person. He was always happy to share fascinating information about the animals, nature, and local culture, and he patiently answered all of our questions. His passion for his work and his big heart made our safari even more special and unforgettable.
A special thank you to the entire team for their professionalism and dedication. We highly recommend Family Leisure Africa Safaris to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized African adventure.

Kind, available and professional
We spent the weekend with Roby, our designated driver and guide from Jocky Tours and Safaris. The game drive and the safari were amazing. We had the chance to see elephants, cheetahs, lions, giraffes, crocodiles and pretty much everything possible in Kenya. I would recommend 100%

Fantastic from start to finish!
We found it hard to decide which company to trust when organising our holiday but decided in the end to go with Rafiki tembo as they gave us honest advice on what tour would be best for us. It was amazing, Geoffrey and Jonathan made the whole experience unforgettable, everything was explained with so much knowledge and answered every question we had. I’d recommend Rafiki tembo and Geoffrey and Jonathan to anybody visiting Tanzania!
