A great well organized and managed safari
Mwema organized a nine day safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Various lakes and game reserves. The driver/guides were extremely well informed,very responsible and courteous. They took us to the exact places where the wild animals were,including all the big five, and a lion kill etc.We are totally satisfied with them. The camps are surprisingly very modern and guarded by Masai quite safe. In one camp I had a hippo walking one meter near my head in the night. Non-vegetarian food was very good, vegetarian could be better. All in all an absolutely wonderful experience.

Great experience of Uganda with an amazing driver
The pre-Safari communication with Simba was okay. We just expected a more active approach from Simba to send us guidelines and practical information since it was our first Safari. However we didn't receive such a practical info automatically. We had to send every time our questions to get answers. So a suggestion would be sending a standard practical info file to tourists so that they can organize their trips properly.
Our best part of our Safari service was our driver. Xavier was a great driver and guide. He was very punctual, responsible and expert in his job. We had an amazing experience of Safari with him, he took us everywhere and explained everything to us. Meanwhile we also had many interesting talks during the long Safari driving with him. We were very happy having him as our guide and I strongly recommend him.
The lodges booed by Simba were very nice too. My two favorite ones were gorilla mist and Forest camp. Gorilla mist was an incredible experience. The last lodge at lake bunanoyei, however, was not very proper. It was not very clean and comfortable.
In general we had a good experience with Simba and we are happy with our experience :)

it's fine
We were lucky, for 1 day we saw almost all the animals that live in the park. Excellent guide Bob - the most daring of the guides, drove us to the car to the lioness almost immediately. We arrived at 9 am, at 13.00 we had lunch, and after that we continued the safari until 4pm. Lunch cost $ 5 per person. The road from Dar-es-Salam was very dangerous, a lot of wagons with cargoes, our driver many times went to a meeting and miraculously we managed to avoid a collision. This part of the safari - very spoiled the general impression. On the way back, the gasoline ran out and the driver did not have any money with him, he asked us to throw off him for gasoline $ 5. Nobody returned them, of course.

A thrilling experience!
A thrilling experience! face-to-face with lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, zebras, giraffes, antelopes...in the wonderful scenario of Amboseli, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Amboseli is a relatively small park, but with so many different landscapes, included a dry lake. Masai Mara is an evocative place, where you understand the real meaning of infinite. Our guide Steve made his best to let us see all the animals possible, and also to enjoy the different landscapes. While in Masai Mara we experienced a rainy day, but our driver was great in driving the muddy tracks and wade across small rivers. Accommodation was also great during the whole trip. An unforgettable trip!

It was very good organized, easy going 6 days safari
Company met us in Arusha airport. After night in a hotel we started our 6 days safari.
First day was Manayara, actually we didn't see flamingo there, but we saw hippo very close. After a night in good camping we went to Serengeti NP for 2 days. It was awesome there - many gnus and zebras. We also saw different cats - lions, cheetahs, leopards.
Every day we had excellent dinner and breakfast with hot meal made by our cook. And also we had lunchboxes in the car, but the lunchboxes were not so good.
The only problem, which upset us was that
the program of Suricata said "Day 5 : Ngorongoro Crater tour .
After breakfast, proceed directly to the Crater floor for a full day crater tour with picnic lunches. Later proceed back to tarangire in the evening"
But actually we had only half day safari in Ngorongoro, we were upset of this fact.
But it total everything is very good. We recommend this company!

Review about Botswana by eric
Very few human settlements, so more nature and wildlife which roams freely. Nice weather, sunshine all year-round and cost of living is quite afordable.

A Day Well-Spent
While staying at Rukiya Safari Camp in October, 2017, we enjoyed a full day's drive in Kruger National Park on the 20th. Our guide wisely had us up and out of camp very early so that we could arrive at the gate before opening hours. If you delay too long, you may find yourself waiting in line at the gate! With no queue at all, we entered Orpen Gate at 6:30am and drove east. Traverse in Kruger is limited to the tarmac roads, so sightings are limited to what can be seen from the pavement.* That said, there is no shortage of animals within view. We enjoyed sightings of cape buffalo, impala, elephant, giraffe (including a tiny calf), kudu, zebra, wildebeest, steenbok, hippo, vervet monkeys, baboons, and all manner of birds including white-backed vultures, a brown-headed parrot, and black bellied bustards. We enjoyed short stops at clean comfort stations (with lovely views) and spent our lunch break at the very scenic N'wanetsi overlook on the Mozambican border. The previous day's visitors were unpleasantly surprised to find the on-site restaurant closed (without explanation), so we planned ahead and brought a packed lunch. We enjoyed the remainder of the day's drive and didn't leave the outer gate until 5:30pm. To view notes and photos from my visit, please see https://sway.com/iceKprWZZflXVlQB
* The on-road restriction is required because Kruger allows tourists to self-drive. Staying on roads ensures that visitors are safe and environmental damage is minimized.
