My contact person at Oakland Tours and Safari was Felistus, she was very prompt to replying any email and very professional, upon arrival my guests had a wonderful holiday experience and of course a gift from the Oakland Tours and Safari team.

Review about Tanzania by Jan Hendriks
Tanzania has much wildlife in parks which are not so crowded visited. For that you need a good gide to bing you near the animals. We had an excellent guide. The known parks are to expensive and there are to many tourist being there. In Mikumi it is cheaper and there are a few tourists and you can see all the game (except the rinoceros.

An excellent tour with Mnyau M. Abi
We booked our tour with Mr. Mnyau M. Abi (0686085022) from Das Es Salaam and went there by bus. Mr. Abi waited for us at the bus station and from that moment we were in very safe hands. With him we went to the national park where we made very beautifull pictures because he drew very near at the animals (even the lions). Also he knew the answers to alle our questions on the park. In the park where only 3 other cars and there were very many young animals. The next day we went to the Sanje waterfalls in Udzungwa Mountains National Park. At the top of te waterfalls we had an excellent vieuw and saw the rare apes. Mr. Abi took care of our breakfest, lunch and accommadation (of course after which we made clear our desires) and even took care that we got the tickets and the right bus back to Dar (he got the faretickets which we could not get at the bus station). It was for me and my wife a very relaxed tour in which we saw and experienced more than we had expected.

Great safari
The tour was great, ask for Joseph as a driver. Great to see the migration in Masai Mara. The animals obviously don't care how much you pay for your tour. Lake Nakura was a little bit boring after the visit to Masai Mara, rather spend a day more in Masai Mara then going to Lake Nakuru National Park. Organisation at Great Horizon Trails is a bit poor, as I had to pay an advance which was claimed that they did not receive it, so i had to pai it again in cash. I had to wait for over 2 month to get my money back and it required many phonecalls. But tour was still great.

well planned
The accommodation choice could have been better. Other than that, it was well planned and executed. The van was great for a small group as well. Most importantly, Freddy was trustworthy!

Safari 2015
the trip was very good,the driver Gibson was fantastic and informative.The food was good and the tents were fine. The safari was great for the price.
good experience: responsive, available and committed
I have been working few times with Hello Tanzania for booking of plane and boat tickets and they have always meet my expectations through a good face to face and email communication. The director of the agency did not count her time to remain available late in the evening to hand me over the tickets. One day she even forgot to take her commission for the service the agency provided ! I have refered them to my friends and they were satisfied with the services.

Superb 3 days Masai Mara safari
Grateful for this company for services offered; from tour van, tour guide, accommodation and smooth ride to game park and back to the city. My friends and I enjoyed this trip and planning to visit again.

Excellent day at the start of a 9 day safari adventure
We arrived in time to have lunch overlooking the Ngorongoro Crater from our hotel. We were up before sunrise and set out to the gates. As the first vehicle into the crater, we instantly spotted a white rhino. From there we experienced the sunrise over the crater as we continued to see all the animals we had dreamed of seeing on safari, including lions finishing off a meal from the night before, elephants, ostriches, baboons. We had breakfast looking out over the hippo pool - very scenic and beautiful spot for a rest. Later on, we were fortunate to be able to see a serval cat hunting its prey. We headed back out of the crater in time for a late lunch. Prior to departure for the Serengeti, we enjoyed one last sunrise over the crater.

Great experience Serengeti budget camping with Big 5 and so much more!
Before the start of our trip I had good contact with Kanuth by e-mail regarding our itinerary, the down payment etc. which was very pleasant. Our driver Vumi picked us up at our hotel perfectly on time and even on our first day at Tarangire Park we were already amazed by the beauty of the park and all the animals we saw. Serengeti and the Crater were even more beautiful and Vumi showed us all the best spots and was very patient with us. He always made sure we had a good spot to take (amazing!) pictures. Our cook Eric made sure we were never hungry :) We saw the Big 5 but so much more! So many hippo's, zebra's, ostriches, all kind of gazelles, hyena's AND a lot of cheetah's! We really felt lucky, I can recommend this tour it was really one of the best things we ever did. Be aware that the camping is very basic but this didn't bothered us because we like to be in the outdoors and the nature and animals made it all so worth it. Thank you Vumi!
