Lulu went above and beyond every step of the way!
The most magical experience anyone can have! Our guide Boaz helped us see more than we could have imagined and went above and beyond to maximize our animal viewing and comfort. Lulu from Sacred Wilderness was so thoughtful and responsive, she worked with us every step of the way to customize the perfect trip for us. She also even met us the first evening we arrived at the hotel to go over our itinerary. We can’t wait to go back to Tanzania with Sacred Wilderness and recommend them for anyone considering the trip of a lifetime!

Reliable, considerate, local, knowledgeable, would choose again!
We chose Tony Mobile Safari based on availability, package content, price and reviews. We wanted a versatile safari experience of 3 nights during the New Year and were happy to find an option offering a boat cruise on Chobe River, 1 night in Chobe National Park and 2 nights in Savuti. We preferred choosing a local and independent company, although it seemed like a bit of a gamble due to payment in advance. Everything went completely smoothly, though, and we were left feeling ecstatic with no complaints whatsoever. High recommendation to anyone travelling to Kasane for a safari adventure!
Our guide, Mabuta ("Jack"), is among the best in the business for sure! Very knowledgeable and quick to identify different animal species, full of funny and interesting facts and anecdotes, and an obvious passion and respect for nature. He was also incredibly considerate (or he could read our minds) as he stopped the Land Cruiser and was very patient in letting us observe different animals and plants from elephants to dung beetles without rushing (which is what we have experienced with some other companies). We managed to see a lot, thanks to Mabuta's excellent tracking skills and top class bush rally driving skills. Even driving bumpy and swerving tire tracks at full speed, he always warned us of bushes and tree branches. We found two lionesses with their cubs snoozing in the shade of a tree, completely obscured from view from the road. We also made it in time to see a leopard and a pack of eight African wild dogs spotted by another accomplished guide.
Our accommodation was assembled by Disha and tasty vegetarian food cooked in abundance by Ta. We were very comfortable in our tent with army style cots for beds and an adjacent bathroom (warm shower available!). We also felt very safe as the team was so sharp in recognising animal calls but had a calm and confident demeanor. The Land Cruiser had a fridge so there was always plenty of cold water and space for soft drinks, yoghurt, etc. Second breakfasts and tea breaks were enjoyed at specific locations in the nature reserve with excellent views of e.g. a hippo in his pond or a dazzle of zebras.

Very helpful
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a 3 days / 2 nights safari trip, and everything was organised perfectly from start to finish.
The trip from Zanzibar to the mainland was very well arranged: on-time pickup from the hotel, smooth transfer to the ferry and train, and great support during all connections between the ferry and train. The transfer to the lodge was also very comfortable.
The lodge, located in the middle of the forest, was beautiful, authentic, and very comfortable. Lunch, dinner, and breakfast were excellent, with fantastic views from the hills.
The safari itself was amazing. We managed to see all the main animals, and our guide was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He shared a lot of interesting information, which made the experience even more special.
We are very happy that we chose Kihindo Tours and would definitely recommend them!

Awesome safari trip
Well all I can say is excellent communication from the booking to the end of our safari, our driver Innocent was absolutely a delight to spend the days with him, very knowledgeable and friendly, he would go out the way to track any animals you wanted to see, the tent we stayed in was luxury as well. Thank you for giving us a memorable experience.

Memorable experience and well organised.
Our 4-day camping safari was a fantastic time in Tanzania with the professional tour organizer Herbivore African Expeditions. We explored Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater and it was an unforgettable adventure. Camping brought us closer to nature and made the experience more immersive and peaceful. Ngorongoro Crater felt like a hidden world, filled with animals at every turn. Our 4 safari was deeply inspired by nature's beauty and Tanzanian thrilling wildlife action. Best safari experience.

Safari amboseli masai mara nakuru
We had a blast doing amboseli nakuru and masai mara safari.
Our guide/driver mwololo was very professional and knowledgable.
We were able to see the big 5 and then some.
On a single day in masai mara we saw a leopard, cheetah and a pride of lions. Which isnt a very common thing.
The tour company replied to our request very fast. We contacted them maybe 3 days before the safari. They sent us a detailed itinerary with lodges, what we will be doing and price list.
Very professional pdf

Excelent!
Everything was incredibly easy with them. Ali and Jack were absolutely amazing with us from start to finish. They took care of us at all times, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment, and they showed us the incredible wonders of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli.
Jack has an excellent eye for photography and managed to capture some truly stunning shots for us — moments we will treasure forever. The whole experience exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for better guides. Highly recommended.

Shayona was on top of things, from the pick up at the airport to the game drives, they were flawless
I really enjoyed traveling with my girlfriend to Serengeti, Tanzania with Shayona Safaris as our tour operator.
We had a great time and experience and this was made possible through the thorough planning and satisfactory service from Shayona Safaris.
We saw a lot of animals, thanks to our guide Revo, and we learnt a great deal about the Serengeti park. We will be visiting the park again in the summer for the great migration and we are going to be working with Shayona Safaris for sure.

Helpful, responsive, understanding
Elly and Prisca from Manka Safaris were great, they responded to all of my questions and tried their best to ease my worries as a first time safari booker and find solutions that were comfortable for everybody. They were available every time we needed them, even during weekends, they waited for us at the airport and also drove us back to the airport. And they also reserved for us the only flight back from Kilimanjaro airport that wasn't delayed because of heavy rainfall that evening. :)
We really enjoyed our first safari, we got to see a lot of animals up-close, the jeep was comfortable, we had water, juices and beer for the entire road trip. The only downside was that it was really hot the first day.
As a conclusion, I highly recommend Manka Safaris. We will be back for a safari in Serengeti. :)
