If I could give this company more than 5 stars, I would give 11. What an experience!!
Well, let me start with communications … from the very beginning. It was clear, Alice understood exactly what I was looking to accomplish and delivered. This safari delivered value for the money in service reliability and support … 100%. The icing on the cake was our tour guide, brother John. Tour guide #1 … caring supportive, helping where he could…I had stomach issues the entire trip, so he adjusted some drives to help. John made sure he found the animals … even in what seemed barren, he made the drive worth it not coming up empty. John, you are the BEST!!!
I chose mid-range and I was very comfortable with the accommodations. Yes, I would do another tour with Morningstar … with John of course!
Thank you guys for a wonderful experience! If you are considering Morningstar for safari don’t hesitate

Kind and knowledgeable
My experience in Tanzania was invaluable. It was my first trip to Africa, and thanks to Nortaz Safari I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.
Our guide, Freddie, was very experienced and thanks to him we were able to see all of the big 5. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Paul for being so flexible in proposing various plans.
The Four Seasons in Serengeti was the best of all, and if you ever go to Tanzania, it's a place you definitely want to stay.

Excellent journey
We have very much enjoyed the drive through North of South Africa, heading to Kruger NP. Our driver Tiyani gave us plenty of explanations about the surrounding areas and the country itself. He selected perfect places to stop as well. We highly recommend him!

A great experience for the whole family.
We booked a three-day stay with Kilipath African Safari. Lydia was very helpful and accommodating from start to finish in planning the trip and arranging all the arrangements.
After arriving in Arusha, we visited Tarangire on the first day, and the next day we drove to the Ngorongoro Crater with the same driver, Mayunga. We were happy that we were able to observe wild animals such as elephants, zebras, giraffes, leopards, lions, hippos, flamingos, buffaloes and others in their natural environment of beautiful nature. We were also lucky and saw the big five, although the rhino was very far away, at least that's what the driver told us. :) The driver was very communicative and was able to answer our questions about not only the animals, but also the lives of the local people, interesting facts from history and some information about tribal conflicts.
On the third day, together with our guides Lydia and Geofrey, we visited the Materuni waterfall with a breathtaking view of Kilimanjaro. During the ride to the waterfall, we used the time to chat with our guides and learned a lot of interesting information about the life and customs of the people of Tanzania. After swimming in the waterfall, we visited a local village for lunch with a demonstration of coffee processing, including roasting and subsequent tasting. At our request, the guides took us to a shop with truly beautiful goods, where we bought local pictures in the Tinga tinga style. :) All services provided and arranged by Kilipath African Safari were at a professional level and we recommend this trip to the mainland.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Guide Kikitu
Our 5-day safari with Jocky Tours and Safaris was an unforgettable experience and absolutely worth every dollar.
We visited Masai Mara National Park, a Maasai village, Nakuru, Lake Nakuru, and Hell’s Gate, and from day one everything was well organized. I traveled with my girlfriend, and during the trip our group grew into an amazing mix of people from Spain, Romania, the USA, South Korea, and more. Thanks to our guide Kikitu, we quickly became one friendly group and had great fun throughout the whole journey.
Kikitu is an outstanding guide in every possible way — extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, an excellent and safe driver, always on time, very well organized, and genuinely friendly. His English and communication were great, and he was especially good at keeping the whole group connected. He truly was the glue that made this experience special.
We were incredibly lucky with wildlife sightings. We saw giraffes, zebras, gazelles, buffaloes, warthogs, cheetahs, lions, leopards, black rhinos, hippos, and many more. Honestly, it’s hard to think of an animal living there that we didn’t see. Kikitu always seemed to know exactly where to go and when.
The safari vehicle was in great condition. Some roads were rough, which turned parts of the drive into a bit of a roller-coaster — free massage included 😅 — but that’s part of the real safari adventure.
Accommodation was okay and clean, nothing luxury but perfectly fine for a safari. In one camp the hot water was not working, which is worth mentioning, but the hotel pool later was a great bonus. Food was good, though a bit repetitive (mostly chicken, rice, spinach), but the fresh fruit was exceptional.
The price was very fair for what we received, and the value for money is excellent. Tips are welcomed by the staff but never forced or asked for — you tip only if you want and if you feel it’s deserved, which we really appreciated.
Useful tip: if you plan to pay at the office, bring cash.
Card payments have a 5% bank fee, which can add up (for us it would have been about $55 for two people)
— much better spent during the safari itself.
This was definitely not our last visit. We are already planning to come back with a bigger group of friends and even our parents. We were not sure if this kind of trip would be suitable for older people, but now we know it absolutely is - and we could easily imagine it even with kids, as we saw other families doing it.
Highly recommended, especially if you get Kikitu as your guide.

The booking contact person, tour guide, and customer service were exceptional.
Paxton, our safari guide, made the 6 day venture so enjoyable. He was kind, competent, and quite knowledgeable. He had a calm, patient spirit. I appreciated his assertiveness when it came to finding opportunities for animal sightings. He was also adept at explaining the social behavior we were witnessing.

We Tour Safaris exceeded our expectations in every way.
Our first contact, Maureen, is exceptional with clear and timely communication. She is a delightful person and greeted us on arrival with warmth and delight. Our guide, Paxton, is a gem. He is professional, knowledgeable, flexible, has a good sense of humor, and is an excellent driver! Highlights included a bike ride/hike in Hells Gate, close-in hippo sightings at Lake Nakuru , and seeing all the animals possible in Masai Mara. Our multi-generational family of 6 will treasure this experience for a lifetime. Thank you, We Tours. You’re the best!
