*The Heart of the Trip: Our Guide, Karim*
The true highlight of our trip was our driver and guide, Karim. I cannot emphasize enough how incredible he is. Karim is easily one of the most experienced and knowledgeable guides we’ve ever met.
*Expert Spotter* : Thanks to his keen eye and deep understanding of animal behavior, we managed to see the Big 5 and so much more!
*True Professional:* He was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure every day felt like a new adventure.
*Knowledgeable* : He didn't just show us animals; he shared fascinating insights about the ecosystem and wildlife that made the trip truly educational and worthwhile. We couldn't have asked for a better companion on this journey.
*The Route:* Nature at its Best
*Tarangire* : A stunning start with its massive baobabs and endless elephant herds.
*Ngorongoro Crater:* A breathtaking "Garden of Eden" where the density of wildlife was simply mind-blowing.
*Serengeti* : The vast plains gave us that classic African safari feel and some of the most dramatic wildlife sightings of the trip.
*World-Class Accommodations*
The lodges selected by Shayona Safaris were exceptional. We stayed at Friends Camp, Zuri Camp, and Sopa Lodge, and each one offered:
*Hospitality* : The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail.
*Atmosphere* : Every location was peaceful, clean, and perfectly situated to immerse us in nature.
*Comfort* : After a long day of adventuring, coming back to such beautiful and well-maintained camps was a luxury.

An amazing trip that will stay with me forever!
Firstly, I was a female solo traveller that had never done this type of trip before.
I chose the 11 day trip with Kajie Safaris.
I primarily chose Uganda because I wanted to experience and see the mountain gorillas. I did not really know what to expect other than I would see amazing wildlife. I chose this company from the reviews and also how they replied to my emails so promptly and how friendly the replies were.
I was blown away by the service I received. I had my own driver called Arafat…. who was amazing, so knowledgeable, friendly and as a solo female I felt exceptionally safe. I would 110% recommend this company and Arafat…..
The accommodation was exceptional and the food was always a very high standard. The staff at the lodges were always friendly, helpful and had great smiles!
I am still on a high from all my experiences and would highly recommend Uganda and Kajie Safaris as a place to visit and create amazing memories !
Thank you Kajie Safaries and also Arafat !!

Great personalised 5 day TZ trip made extra special thanks to our wonderful driver-guide.
My mother and I went on Safari for 5 days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro for her 70th birthday.
Simba was wonderful to work with as we built a personalised 5-day trip - and was very patient with the many changes I requested! He helped us arrange a cross-border transfer from Kenya, and booked the itinerary and lodges we wanted. He was always quick to answer my messages or calls both before and during the trip.
What really made our safari trip go from good to great was our lovely driver-guide, Abdul, who took care of myself and my mother as though we were family. He was very conscientious - he was always checking in with us to see what we wanted, what was going well, etc, and strived to give us the best day each day. He was also an excellent driver, not just on the game drives, but on all the highways/city driving as well - he was careful but confident and I never felt nervous in the car once. Lastly, I really appreciated how much he appreciates the animals in the parks, I have seen other guides try to get animals attention/wake them up/get in too close and he was not about that at all, he really respects the animals and that we are in their space.
All in all - a great and memorable trip!

Thrilling and peaceful experience we will never forget.
Our 4 day Tanznian family adventure explored the Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater was unforgettable. Agama tours provided very safe and exceptional service. Lake Manyara was peaceful and green, The Serengeti was vast and wonderful, every drive brought something new, Ngorongoro Crater truly amazed us, we felt a natural wildlife we belonged, with animals everywhere we looked. Every game drive was a fantastic and new discovery, Francis making the journey deeply enjoyable.

Amazing
Michelle was a fantastic travel agent. She made excellent bookings at a competitive price. The only problem we had was with the car rental company, but she resolved it quickly and made sure everything went smoothly.

An Unforgettable 6-Day Adventure with Loren Africa Safaris
An Unforgettable 6-Day Adventure with Loren Africa Safaris
If you are looking for a seamless, exhilarating, and deeply professional safari experience, look no further than Loren African Safaris. We recently completed a 6-day expedition, and the planning and execution were quite simply, flawless.
From the moment we landed, it was clear that every detail had been meticulously thought out. However, what truly transformed this trip from a "vacation" into a "once-in-a-lifetime experience" was our incredible guide and driver, Ally, and also the main reason we highly recommend them.
* Expert Spotting Skills: Our guide had a legendary "eagle eye." We saw things we never would have noticed on our own—camouflaged leopards, distant prides, and rare birds—all thanks to his deep knowledge of the terrain and animal behavior. We also spotted the black rhino, an endangered species, all thanks to Ally's observation amidst a hundred zebras surrounding one of the 74 rhinos in the whole of Serengeti!
* Safety & Comfort: Driving conditions in the bush can be challenging, but we always felt completely secure. He was an exceptionally skilled driver—smooth, steady, and mindful of our comfort over every bump, not only in the jungles but also across towns and main roads.
* Professionalism & Character: It is rare to find someone so consistently punctual, honest, and polite. He was always there with a smile before our scheduled departure, and his integrity made us feel at ease throughout the journey. A good conversationalist, Ally made it easier for us to enjoy his company on everyday matters as well as our many questions which he answered very patiently.
* The "Extra Mile": He didn't just drive us from point A to point B; he anticipated our needs. Whether it was finding the perfect shade for a bush lunch or adjusting the itinerary to ensure we were in the best position for a sighting, his dedication to our experience was unmatched.
From a planning and selecting properties/parks - I would suggest you do your research.
Loren African Safaris delivered exactly what they promised and then some. They take the stress out of the logistics so you can focus entirely on the magic of the wild.
Don’t hesitate—book with them. You won’t regret it!

Our tour operator was the best.!!! Extremely knowledgeable and made our Safari unforgettable.
After a lot of research I came across Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safaris. I contacted Matt Jensen and was impressed by his knowledge ,enthusiasm and commitment to ensuring that our Safari would be the best experience ever. He did not disappoint. Everything, from the staff, accommodations, meals, and of course the daily Safari drives were top notch. Having traveled a lot I have to say this vacation was unforgettable and a longtime dream come true for me.
