Excellent and professionally organized Tour Operator for Safaris
Based on the recommendation of a good friend who is a professional and extremely experienced traveller, we got in contact with Teamwise Tanzania Travel earlier this year, with only a very rough idea of the journey and safari we had in mind. It didn't even take a day before we had the first proposal for an itinerary from Teamwise, with parks and places to visit, recommended lodges, extra excursions etc.. Another week of fine tuning in close exchange with Teamwise and we were basically set to go. From the first contact and througout that process Artem and his team proofed to be excellent professionals, extremely experienced, knowledgeable, responsive and reliable, always able to adapt the itinerary to a few changes we thought would be nice as we learned more about the options. Then finally came the day when we boarded the plane to Arusha, with our itinerary in hands and the promise that our dedicated driver guide Reginald would be at the airport, pick us up, and completely guide and manage our safari all the way up to us flying out for a week in Sansibar at the end. And so it was. What followed could not have been any better. Everything worked perfectly according to plan, the lodges were great, the meals were great, all extra tours and safaris Teamwise had booked for us were well planned and organized, all people we met along the way were super friendly and helpful, and we just had one of the greatest travel experiences of our lives.
Our Teamwise driver guide Reginald spoke fluent english and was absolutely amazing. He was not only our always friendly and good humored "North Star" and guardian angel on this tour, he was the one who always had a profound answer and explanation to any of our questions about land, culture, people, animals, geology etc. etc., he found and spotted any wildlife you might be able to see in that part of Africa, saw and circled any bump and hole on the dirt roads before we hit it, and brought us safely and on time to any of the destinations. There was never any reason to be concerned about anything.

Professional, thoughtful planning which matched our interests perfectly - highly recommend
This is our second trip organised by Indigo Safaris. Our first was a self-drive trip to KwazuluNatal which was so beautifully and thoughtfully planned by Shannon that we decided to use Indigo Safaris again for a trip to Greater Kruger. Yet again Shannon matched our individual needs and wishes perfectly, and was there for us throughout the trip. We had a fantastic safari with incredible wildlife sightings. Highly recommend Indigo Safaris.

Flawless Booking Experience and an Incredible Guide
Out of four safari companies we contacted, this was the only one that catered to our custom requests from day one, while the rest just sent standard quotes. Every change we requested was updated immediately, and all our questions were answered the same day. Outstanding customer service!
A special mention goes to our driver and guide, Hasan. He was simply perfect for us. He respected our privacy while seamlessly anticipating our needs. His English was brilliant, and he often knew what we wanted before we even asked. Hasan is extremely knowledgeable, highly experienced, and wonderfully patient. Plus, his driving style was exceptionally safe and smooth.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience or a better guide!

Responsive
David/Pedaso Safari gave me comforting experience while booking the safari by timely and mindfully answering my queries. The pickup process and alignment with the safari guide was smooth. Though there were several vehicle/guide changes during the trip, David was always a call away for any inconvenience, so the overall experience was good. However, though I had explicitly asked about max members in a jeep before booking and was said 7, throughout the trip I never saw mine or any such similar jeeps with less than 8 people. So I felt I could have made an informed decision if the right number was told before booking . Thanks

Fantastic experience, super helpful and happy with their services
We had a super well organised holiday and great experience. Accommodation and everything like we discussed upfront, real value for money and super helpful once we arrived in South Africa. A couple of meetings upfront with Marieke to design the trip, a few further changes discussed and Marieke really has taken the time to organise things very well. While everything was great, the Sungulwana lodge experience was just unbelievable, all the people there where super nice and helpful as well.

Noah and Jovan were very knowledgeable and had very good instincts on where animals should be
A very enjoyable tour. We explored a lot of Mikumi National Park and found nearly all species. We learned a lot about both animals and birds as well as the different national parks in Tanzania. We do recommend Noah and Jovan as guides

The service we received from Lion King Adventures was exceptional - it couldn't be bettered.
We had never been on a Safari before.and we had never been to Africa. So, we were totally dependent on our tour operator to plan where we would visit, when and where we would stay.
We dealt with Elia and Naurey for the administrative side of our trip. They were very professional, they always answered our queries straight away and tailored our trip to perfectly meet our needs. They provided us with all the information we needed about our trip and about what we needed to do prior to our trip - such as which vaccinations we needed and when, additional insurances etc.
All airport transfers and pickups ran smoothly and the drivers were very friendly and helpful.
Salim was our Safari guide. He was excellent! We couldn't have asked for better. He was so knowledgeable, so caring, so friendly and so patient. It was like being driven round by a good friend. He worked so hard to ensure we got the most out of our trip. From experience, he knew where to find animals and birds etc. and what they would do next, so he always managed to get us in a good spot to capture the perfect photo. We told Salim that we weren't just interested in the big 5 as we loved all creatures, so he was constantly scanning the surroundings pointing out lilac rollers, eagles, kingfishers, lizards. Salim did make sure that we saw the Big 5 too. Prior to our trip, we had hoped that we would see certain birds and animals. We did! And so much more!
Entry to all the parks was seamless as Lion King had sorted everything beforehand. We visited Tarangire, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. We stayed two nights in the Serengeti and that was our favourite place. Hearing the animals in the night was something special.
All the accomodations that Lion King arranged were wonderful - we particularly loved the Nyota Luxury Tented camp in the Serengeti.
Lion King Adventures did an incredible job arranging our adventure of a lifetime and we would highly recommend them.
