More than wonderful !!!
We can not show enough high praise for Arina wild adventure and Lian and her whole team. From coming personally to pick us up at NBO airport to every single step including border crossing for Tanzania - making sure no one has any kind of problem including Yellow Fever Card and finally dropping us at NBO airport for return home - she and her team were constantly along side of us. They chose wonderful accommodation and particularly for Serengeti and Ngorongoro were over the top. All drivers went beyond call of duty and put extra time and effort to show us maximum wild life. Their communication skill in English language were also very good - no
Language barrier for English speaking tourists. And we were 16 friends from many countries across the world who all travelled a lot in their life and at the end everyone agreed that ‘ This was their Best vacation of lifetime’. We all would strongly recommend this company / Lian and when we come back again in future for Kenya / Tanzania Safari, we absolutely are going to use this company.

Ashendiye Festival in Lalibela with amazing guide, Muluye.
What a fantastic few days in Lalibela, exploring the wonderful rock hewn churches and palaces of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Muluye is a brilliant guide - so knowledgeable about the history and culture of this special place. He guided us through the hidden passageways while giving us just the right amount of information and responding knowledgeably to our many questions. The festival taking place while we were there was the icing on the cake - the singing, dancing, drumming and the whole spectacle made this such a unique and memorable experience. I would definitely recommend this trip and Muluye.

EAU/RWA: Every wish was met; individually planned, excellently executed, and thus highly recommended
We wanted to include a guided segment in our African trip that focused primarily on visiting national parks and wildlife viewing.
We got in touch with Bob through a recommendation from friends who had traveled with Emerald Safaris several times. Beforehand, we had picked out a few destinations in Uganda and Rwanda that we were keen to visit or see. Working with us and responding quickly, Bob put together an itinerary based on our ideas while also recommending a few destinations that fit better into the schedule—offering the same quality of experience without requiring endless hours of driving.
As planned, our guide Lucky picked us up at our hotel in Kampala after we had spent a few days there. The time we spent together was exhilarating—a journey from one highlight to the next. Whether it was spotting the shoebill stork, rhino trekking, game drives in various national parks, crossing the equator, or the lodges we stayed in—we couldn't imagine how things could have been any better. In Lucky, we had a guide who was always highly professional and knowledgeable. He introduced us to the history and culture of the countries we visited, showed us things that would otherwise have gone unnoticed, facilitated unforgettable encounters with the "Big Five," and ensured we usually arrived at sights and attractions before the crowds. And then there was an unexpected surprise, too. Simply fantastic! We would love to travel together again anytime!

Reliable Madagascar-based tour operator with excellent service and communication.
We booked a 20-day - Discovery East - West-South tour with Soul of Madagascar and travelled with our 8 years old son. The communication with Theresia was seamless, she made sure the itinary was personalized according to our needs. Our guides were Michael and Tahiry and our driver Manoa, they were all well-prepared and knowledgeable and made our trip unforgettable. They even made sure I had a birthday cake on my big day :). I would be happy to travel with them again, we had the perfect trip!

The tour itself was good
I fully satisfied with the guide and the driver. They were very kind and nice. They made the tour more fun. Thank them a lot.
The tour itself is really worth well.
BUT the operation side was not good.

Gofan is a reliable partner in safari bookings
I have been using Gofan Safaris for many years for my safaris in Kenya. They have taken me to the Maasai Mara, Ol Pejeta, Aberdare, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Nairobi National Park. Their vehicles are upgraded and their drivers are excellent. They often do a nice job of positioning themselves for great animal viewing. We've consistently had a great value for our money as well, and I appreciate how they are flexible to offer just about anything that we'd like to do, and can make solid recommendations for different price points. They seem to be well respected within the industry and they can negotiate good positions and take favors from lodges. I've even had them pivot on a dime based on changing conditions at the last minute. We're very pleased with Gofan and hope to continue using them for a long time!

Passionate Guide is a exceptionally reliable, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely caring operator.
Booking our 10-day Kenya and Tanzania cross-border safari with Passionate Guides was the best decision we ever made! From initial planning to final drop-off, their communication and reliability were unmatched—owner Beatus personally put our pre-trip anxieties to rest with expert guidance.
The service and value throughout the journey were phenomenal. The border transition was handled seamlessly by both crews, and the Tanzanian leg was extraordinary, featuring attentive drivers, expert guides, and sit-down table lunches in the wild. While the Kenya portion could use a bit of refinement in vehicle comfort and roadside dining to match the outstanding standards set in Tanzania, the overall experience was phenomenal. Even when minor vehicle issues arose on rough terrain, the crew fixed everything instantly.
Having Beatus step in as our guide toward the end was an incredible bonus. He shared his inspirational vision for Passionate and even invited us to visit his family home on the way to the airport—a heartwarming, personal touch money can't buy. From witnessing the Great Migration river crossing to spotting the Big 5 and exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, Passionate delivers a top-tier, highly trustworthy, and unforgettable safari experience!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Serengeti Access Safaris
I had a truly wonderful experience with Serengeti Access Safaris. From the beginning to the end, everything was well organized and the team was friendly, professional, and very helpful.
The safari was an incredible opportunity to experience Tanzania’s beautiful landscapes and wildlife up close. I especially appreciated the excellent communication, hospitality, and attention to detail throughout the trip. The whole experience felt comfortable, enjoyable, and well managed.
I’m very happy with the service I received and would definitely recommend Serengeti Access Safaris to anyone planning an unforgettable safari adventure in Tanzania. A truly memorable experience!

We did a 3 days safari in Serengeti and a ngorongoro. We saw all the big five and the trip was amazing, mostly thank to our excellent guide Humphrey, who was very well prepared about the story and the places where to find animals, other than a very careful rider.
Also the food and the whole organization was excellent.
