Trip of a lifetime!
Truly a trip of a lifetime! We were greeted at the airport by Stanford--he was our driver & guide. His sparkling personality and contagious laugh definitely made every day fun and exciting. We came during the rainy season, but no rain and everything was so green and beautiful. Our tour ended up being just my son and myself, and the safaris also ended up being private and phenomenal. Stanford would join us on safaris and always found so many animals for us to see. The lodges we stayed in at Hwange (Hwange Safari Lodge) and in Chobe (Chobe Safari Lodge) were beautiful and very comfortable. The food was excellent as well. Hwange Safari Lodge has a lake just across meadow and the animals are always coming to drink water and graze--so exciting. One night a large herd of Cape Buffalo visited, we were so close we could hear them eating!
The lodge in Victoria Falls (Beyete) was also a beautiful accommodation. On the safaris we learned so much about every different animal, also many birds, dung beetles, & the different brush and trees that each animal can eat. We wanted to see a lion so the safari guide was following the footprints in the road to find them..and was successful. We also spent time in Victoria Falls, including a boat dinner cruise and a Boma Drum Show dinner. I would highly recommend this Safari company and will come back for another Safari with African Zim.

Great trip!
We had a great trip to Ngorongoro Crater with Lomo Safaris. The safari was amazing, and Lomo did a great job with our transportation and communications. Our guide, Boni, was very friendly and knowledgeable about all of the wildlife that we saw. I definitely recommend this company.

Spectacular attention and very organized
Savannah Adventures officials are very professional. I arrived in Victoria Falls and was very well received at the airport. The other day they took me on a two-day safari in Chobe National Park in Botswana. The safari from another world! Many animals and extraordinary nature.
We slept in a campsite in the park. The food, the attention and the care of our guide was a great differential. Ahhh, we heard the sounds of the animals at night!!! Incredible!
Thanks to everyone from Savannah! Thanks Matthias!
We will return without a doubt!

Adventure of a lifetime
Raymond provided us with an unforgettable safari experience! We visited during calving season so we got to see lots of baby animals! We enjoyed every moment of our 7 day safari from:
1. The Chase: Raymond will do all he can to get you to see as many animals as possible, while sharing his extensive knowledge on each animal. Don’t worry, Raymond is a very safe and experienced driver!
2. The People: We met some of the most kind, incredible and resilient people along our journey (including Raymond!). It was amazing to share cultural experiences and learn about the lives of not only locals, but also of the people in different tribes that you will get to visit.
3. The Food and drink: This thoroughly surprised us! We were spoiled with freshly cooked meals everyday, even on game drives. The Jeep also came fully loaded with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Thank you Raymond for making our first safari adventure so special!

Raymond is exceptional, his deep knowledge, warm personality, and genuine care transformed
**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Raymond – An Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tanzania**
From the very first day Raymond picked us up, he was more than just a guide—he became like a big brother and a true friend. His warmth, kindness, and genuine care made our personalised 7-day safari in Tanzania an experience we will cherish for a lifetime. Raymond’s extensive knowledge, patience, and passion for the wildlife and culture of Tanzania shone through every moment of our journey.
We explored the breathtaking landscapes of Tarangire National Park, the vast plains of the Southern Serengeti, the stunning Ngorongoro Highlands and Crater, and the serene beauty of Lake Eyasi. Raymond’s expertise led us to witness an incredible array of wildlife, including giraffes, elephants, lions, cheetahs, rhinos, hippos, hyenas, zebras, wildebeests, and so many more. In total, we saw over 40 different animals and countless birds, including majestic eagles. Each sighting was accompanied by Raymond’s insightful commentary, which deepened our appreciation for the natural world.
We also got a birds eye view of the serengeti from an unforgettable ride in a hot air balloon.
Hot, fresh meals were provided daily along with unlimited beverages onboard the jeep. The accommodations were also fantastic, and was the perfect balance of providing a true sense of being immersed in a real life safari, along with the comfort of modern day living. This can be tailored according to your budget, and personal preferences.
One of the most memorable aspects of our safari was the opportunity to meet and interact with local tribes, including the Maasai, Hadzabe, and Datoga people. Raymond facilitated these encounters with respect and care, allowing us to learn about their traditions, way of life, and the challenges they face. These interactions were humbling and eye-opening, adding a rich cultural dimension to our adventure.
Throughout the trip, Raymond’s driving skills ensured we always felt safe, even on the most rugged terrain. But beyond his professionalism, it was his ability to connect with us on a personal level that truly set him apart. We shared conversations about life, cultural differences and similarities, societal pressures, our goals for the future, and what truly brings us happiness. These discussions made the journey not just a safari, but a deeply meaningful and transformative experience.
Saying goodbye to Raymond was incredibly hard. He wasn’t just a guide; he was a special individual who made this once-in-a-lifetime experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for a safari that combines adventure, knowledge, cultural immersion, and heartfelt connection, Raymond African Safaris is the one you need. We cannot recommend him highly enough—thank you, Raymond, for everything! 🌍✨🦒🐘🦁

The best guides in the most comfortable camps with unparalleled service
I went on a photography safari with Sam and his team back in 2023 and was in absolute awe over his and Paul's ability to spot animals before anyone else, the level of service that their mobile camps provide, and the kindness and friendliness that each member of his staff brought to the experience. Somehow, and I don't know how, they exceeded that experience on my most recent trip with Early Kingfisher through the Central Kalahari up to Makgadikgadi.
Once again, the tents and beds were comfortable and clean, with camp chairs always set up on our porches during the day, and our bathrooms ready to use with hot water whenever we returned from a game drive. The food was excellent again - somehow the meals and desserts and teatime were even better this time. Sam has made small improvement here and there along the way, most you wouldn't notice. But one big one was electric lights in each tent and each bathroom, making getting ready for bed at night and prepping for the day so much easier than relying on the lanterns that were present on the previous trip.
The staff was both invisible and accessible. Always there when you needed them, but all but disappearing when you didn't. That said, they are so kind and friendly, you were always happy when they were there.
Sam was our sole guide this trip, and he provided the expertise and passion I came to expect after the first safari. That, combined with the guidance of David W. Shaw (our photo guide), made for sitings you wouldn't believe. Some highlights included an adventure when Sam spotted a leopard our last night in the Kalahari and we followed the big cat at a distance, observing it getting ready for an evening hunt. The next morning, Dave spotted another leopard on our way to a lodge, this time a smaller female in a tree. We stated with her for several hours as, like the male the night before, she showed no fear and plenty of curiosity. And so, so, so many lions. Sam is so passionate about the wildlife, he is happy to stay with them as long as you want.
I cannot recommend Early Kingfisher highly enough and I look forward to sharing the experience with friends and family next time!

Very good customer care
I used Mtango Safaris Tours to Ngorongoro National Park on February this year, i realy enjoyed to have with me an excellent Tourguide named Frank, he explained to me really in details about Animals i had seen on that day. He also gave me enough time to take pictures around Ngorongoro Crater.
This was my second time to use Mtango Safaris Tours and will not be the last one because they offered good services always and reasonable price if you compare with others.
I told them that next trip they should drive me to Serengeti National Park ( That is my next trip will be again with Mtango Safaris).
Likewise, on my way to Zanzibar, i stop in Dar es salaam for one day, there i met the Manager of Mtango Safaris Tour named Agripa (very friendly guy) and he invited me to get Lunch in Kipepeo Beach. while i was in Dar i also used Agripas Car and i don't have to pay anything. This customer care i got from Mtango Safaris Tours i will really not forget.
Hope to see you soon for the next trip.

Beyond expectations
It was first time for us and had no idea what to expect. Was a bit worried as the price given to us was extremely cheap compared to other companies so didn't know what to expect. However, it went beyond our expectations. Communication with Davies was good. Damien, Maleo and Tito where fantastic (guide, supplier and chef). Mr T was our contact person in Arusha and he was very helpful and came to our rescue when the driver went to the wrong hotel for another client and caused some delay. Due to this the company offered us, as an apology, complementary meal at the hotel on our return. That's excellent customer service! Food during the safari trip was excellent (plentiful), driving by our guide Damien was very skilful and we got plenty of opportunities taking photos and information about the animals. It was amazing, saw the great 5 but two quite far away so don't forget your binoculars (you can rent it from the company if needed or hope that a kind fellow traveller will lend you theirs). It does get quite cold at night so make sure you bring some warm clothing, especially if you are camping. Campsites are shared with other companies, very basic toilets showers (cold/some may have hot shower but the tanks are small....and a bit run down actually). Some of the group members paid extra to stay in a lodge and the lodges looked amazing, was very surprised how cheap it was (when asked how much they paid for the trip). I never thought of asking about it as I assumed it would be mega expensive as in the prices given by other companies. However, camping was fine as you get a very nice sunset/sunrise. Another advice, it does get very dusty, people with long hair should get a leave in conditioner or hair oil. I would definitely recommend Suricata if you are on a budget.
