They are good
I talked to this company about 3 days gorilla trekking. We have many misunderstanding at the beginning. But they can listen finally we start the trip with them. The driver Andrew is an experienced guy. He drove us to the hotel and took us to taste the local food. Its a good time.

Memorable & fascinaitng! (a few problems with our guide)
We saw a ton of wildlife. The guide was knowledgable about what we were seeing and of course his own Maasai culture. He was interesting to spend time with. He taught us songs and Swahili words. He went out of his way to get us close to amazing sightings of animals and teach us about the animals and scenery
We had been intent on using a company that was locally owned so our investment in this experience stayed in the country. Samson’s Safaris coordinators, Stacey and Kimani, were eager to please us and responsive to our feedback or questions during our safari. We could reach them by WhatsApp. The lodging they assisted us in selecting for this private safari was good, as was the food. The tea farm tour they booked for us was thorough, interesting, participatory and the lunch there was delicious. Our stay at Maji Moto Eco Camp was my favorite. Each hotel or camp was between good to outstanding.
I would have chosen a 5 star rating except for our guide being repeatedly late when we'd made the extra effort to awaken very early for his specified pick up time. Waiting for him continued, even after we asked him to be prompt. Also once he didn't have enough money to pay for our park entrance (hundreds of dollars) and asked one of us to cover for him. His Land Cruiser had at least three seatbelts that didn't work, so we couldn’t use the row behind him, which would have been the best place to be to view the sights. It would have been easier get in and out of the side doors from there too, and be able to hear his descriptions of the scenery and animals.

good service
This was our first time in Africa, and overall, the travel agency's service was very good. If the driver had a better attitude, our experience would have been even better.

Fuss free tour and comfortable stay
Decided to go with Nhalalala Travel because of the many positive reviews. Had 2 young children so booking a safari tour was a no-brainer. We booked the 3D2N Kruger Safari Tour with Panorama Route. Booking the tour was straightforward, simple and fuss free. I truly appreciated that Norman was super responsive, prompt and comprehensive in his replies. I’d think that the highlight of the trip was the hotel venue, Kruger Gate Hotel. Glad that it was an option as part of the tour package. Their viewing deck was amazing - we saw a family of elephants right in front of our eyes! Truly a magical and unique experience. Being just a minute away from Kruger Park’s entrance makes it extra convenient and no time wasted. It was also nice that the tour guide was friendly. Some areas of improvement, however, is that clearer communications during the actual tour would be good. For instance, we only knew who will be picking us up and at what time the day before. We were also only told the day before our sunset drive that children below 6 will not be allowed, this is despite us informing in advance of the age of our kids when confirming the tour. Thankfully they managed to find alternatives by engaging another Safari guide to bring us out in the afternoon instead. Still, it would have been better to have known upfront about the conditions and limitations earlier. There were also times where I felt some uncertainties when my queries were not answered timely during the tour, e.g. we were told to be at the lobby by 6am but waited till 6.15am for the tour guide to arrive. It would have been nice to give me an update of the whereabouts and estimated arrival time if late. Hence, I strongly suggest to iron these details out in advance if you were to book the same tour. Nevertheless, the overall experience is still lovely and I’d recommend first-time travellers with limited time to try out this tour with Nhalalala!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Eric Barter
Tarangire National Park felt smaller than the other two. Maybe it was. It was our first day so we didn't know that this park was smaller, so this did not affect my day at all. This park has many animals as well. Because of the size, we saw animals much more often and saw them pretty closely.

Very Good Work
The Operator’s service was very good in terms of finding an excellent Driver - who at the same time is the Tourist Guide.
I would advise future clients who are moving from the Airport to the meeting point to get an Uber instead of paying a taxi. The difference is almost 8x.
Also, prevent from not having wifi connection during the Safari since some of the budget camps do not count with wifi.
Overall the experience is amazing!
