A perfectly organized safari in Tarangire National Park — a magical day among elephants and baobabs
We had an unforgettable safari experience in Tarangire National Park with Majestic Wins Adventures. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, and communication before the trip was smooth and professional. The drive from Moshi via Arusha was long but incredibly scenic, especially with the beautiful jacaranda trees in bloom along the way. Once inside the park, we were amazed by the iconic baobab trees and the peaceful, wild atmosphere. Tarangire truly lives up to its reputation as the kingdom of elephants – we saw so many herds throughout the day. In addition, we spotted giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, gazelles, and even young foxes near their den. Lunch with a view of the river, where elephants gathered to drink, was a special highlight. We also enjoyed watching playful monkeys and colorful birds around our resting spot. Our trip was organized by John, who made the experience even more special. He shared many interesting facts about the animals and nature, and as someone who loves wildlife, I really enjoyed listening to him. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had the best possible experience. I would highly recommend Majestic Wins Adventures to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

The guide was very attentive, professional, and patient
Our Maasai Mara safari was wonderful. Our guide was kind, polite and friendly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We saw so many animals because of the experience and expertise of the guide and it was simply incredible. We chose Bridgids Africa Adventures based on positive reviews and we were very pleased with their service. Communication was easy from the start and they responded very quickly. We stayed in a luxury lodge in the Maasai Mara and the experience was wonderful. Everyone was kind and attentive. We could see countless animals from our lodge every morning while having breakfast. We really loved it!

Amazing 5-day Mt. Kenya Trek – Highly Recommended!
We had an incredible time on our 5-day hike (Chogoria - Sirimon route). From the very beginning, the communication with Charles was super friendly and smooth, he answered all our questions very quickly.
On the mountain, we were accompanied by an amazing local team of five. Everything was perfectly planned out and the team was always on time, which we really appreciated. Our guide, Leonard, was amazing; he knows practically every plant and animal species on the mountain and we always felt in very good hands with him.
Our cook, George, was always smiling and the food was excellent. They really make sure you eat enough and that the meals are right for the high altitude. A special shout-out to Nelson, who looked after us so well at every camp and all the other porters, who did an amazing job as well.
A huge highlight for us was the Mackinder Valley between Shipton's and Old Moses. The landscape is just stunning. The views and the giant plants there are something you have to see for yourself, very unique nature.
By booking with them, you’re supporting a local, truly hardworking team rather than a big travel agency. All in all, it was an amazing experience and we gained so much from this trip. We would definitely do it again!

We really made the right decision with African Big Cats Safari!
African safaris had always been on our travel list, but we were unsure it would be worth the cost. We were wrong! Our only regret is not going on safari earlier.
We chose African Big Cats Safaris (ABC) because they were highly recommended by friends of ours and they were so flexible in designing our itinerary. We wanted to spend a few days in Kenya, to see Nairobi and visit the Amboseli National Park. ABC was able to start our adventure there, using a Kenyan safari company, Essence of Kenya. Our guides, Sam and John were wonderful, especially when one of our duffels was delayed. And our transition into Tanzania was easy, switching guides at the border. In Tanzania, we concentrated on four areas: Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Southern Serengeti near Ndutu, and Central Serengeti (the Seronera area). Each area was different, but all were fascinating.
As for our accommodations, each of us had our own vision of how each day would end. Would it be: a refreshing dip in the pool? A cool drink and a good meal? A campfire with other travelers? ABC made sure we would all be happy. And we were. Our accommodations were mostly tented camps, luxurious and comfy.
But as anyone could guess, the game drives were the real main features. Watching the animals living their daily lives in their own natural world was incredible. We witnessed giraffes snacking on high tree limbs, families of elephants strolling along with babies at their side, prides of lions lounging in the tall grass, gazelles frolicking, cheetahs stalking, the leopard sleeping in a tree. And I cannot forget to mention all the other animals: hippos, alligators, water buffalo, zebras, baboons, rhinos, hyenas, warthogs, and thousands of birds. We saw them all and more. And all of it was amid the great green expanse of open plains and savannahs (it was January). Truly magical!
It was all made possible by ABC and our fantastic, brilliant guide in Tanzania, Festo. I cannot say enough about Festo. His knowledge of Tanzania, of the animals and their habits is unbelievable, not to mention the delicious picnics he brought and his ability to know the perfect place to park the Land Rover for a great photo. Between the four of us, we have over 5,000 photos – after we deleted the duplicates and fuzzy ones. Festo had a knack of making every game drive into a new day of discovery and insight into the natural world of Tanzania.
As for tips for travelers to Tanzania, we came prepared for mosquitoes, cold nights and hot days. However, perhaps because it was January, we experienced no mosquitoes, warm days (ok, hot in the direct sun) and pleasant evenings. We did use our warm clothes in the evenings at the Ngorongoro Crater rim, which was nippy due to the altitude. So, my best and only real tip is to let African Big Cats Safaris do your planning and let their guides take care of the rest.
On a personal note, I have breathing problems walking, especially on an incline. I noticed we always had a tent close to the dining and social area. Asante, ABC! And Festo was always there, urging me to walk “pole pole” (Swahili for “slowly slowly”). Such care and patience! Asante, Festo!

Utterly amazing!
Agness was a joy to deal with on booking and with all the admin.
Mandela was excellent dealing with the logistics before and after the safari to ensure we saw and did everything we wanted.
Our driver Frank was sublime! So knowledgeable and a great laugh. His expertise in knowing where the animals could be found ment we saw all the big 5.
Our assistant guide David was excellent too, he knew so much about all the animals and took amazing pictures.
Over all I can not fault the team. From start to finish everything was taken care of and we felt so well looked after.
Would highly recommend !!!!

Professional, sharp eyes, local and entrepreneurial, great communicator, wonderful guide
Did three tours with Afri Nature, the sunset cruise on Chobe (run by other agency), the half and half day trip (half on game drive and half on boat) and a full day game drive, all at Chobe National Park. Spotted 4/5 of the Big 5 in the full day game drive (Chobe doesn't have the Rhino) including super close viewing of the elusive Leopard. David is extremely talented in spotting animals and birds. And he explains animals behaviours very well, guides with passion. The fact that he is a local and his company is his own gives me further reason to support him (always prefer supporting local firms). All in all, an exceptional guide, will highly recommend
