Very helpful and have me good guidance
I traveled with my wife and 4 kids. They had an amazing time spotting the animals during the safari. The guide was an amazing knowledgeable guy, he was really nice to us all especially with kids. The lodges were very basic but I will search next time for other options. I don't know if there is a better accommodation options or this is just the quality there. But to be honest in pamoja villas people were an amazing staff, very cheerful, helpful and welcoming although there are limited resources. In terms of budget I think I had a good deal for such a big group.

Eunice Odhiambo was veeeeeeeeeery kind! and very professional!
Honest opinion.....I stayed at Taita Hills, the hotel is located at a very good place, great views and it's beautiful and relaxing, the hotel staff were also very kind and very friendly, especially at the pool, the dining area, the drivers and the chefs. However my biggest disappointment was they don't offer full day drives for the safaris. Only 2hrs in the evening and 2hrs in the morning. For me it was a huge disappointment since I'd been in Maasai mara where there's like 3/ 2 hrs the evening before and a full day drive the next day which was totally worth it. You get more time to explore and enjoy seeing the animals which was my main aim....while in Tsavo the whole experience was dawned down to just the hotel experience. Not really what I wanted. But for those that enjoy peace and quiet and plenty of rest , Tsavo is good for you.

Well knowledged and always responsive
I think the service provided was well organized but by researching the cost of the actual itinerary it was definitely over priced and doing on own would cost about 3k less but only I'm to blame cause I didn't do my research due to time constraints Basically paying for transportation which once you are there is cheap and hotels which even in supposedly high season were plenty. If this package came with 3-4 excursions prepayed then it would be easier to justify the cost. Safari.com did an excellent job getting it organized quick and professionally and were very receptive to any questions

Able was very friendly, informative and always eager to please
We considered several operators and value for money with Ibanga was very competitive.
All in all we had a great 12-day trip, with a couple of minor irritations on advised times to travel between places compared with the actual.
Our mid range option lodges were all comfortable, to the point we would have liked to have more time to enjoy the facilities and just relax occasionally. (Note: my wife and I are at retirement age).
We did not expect the extra cost for the safari guides that apperaed at each park who expected a fee.
Summary - excellent and a lifelong dream to sit with gorillas achieved.

Great experience
Our tour guide goodluck was amazing and very knowledgable. Fantastic hotels. Great food. Lovely people. Lovely country. One complain would be The car had an issue and it took a lot of persuading to get the company to send a replacement which was the only downside of the trip. If it weren’t for that then it would definitely be a 5 star! Amazing hotels, safari and guide.

Theodore is very kind and polite
Marvellous views but so quickly past ! Theodore was very kind but doesn’t talk much. I would have appreciate to know about the places we passed by, the different cultures and a bit of history. But I guess it’s a shuttle, not a guided tour. So everything was fine ! I felt safe and this is important. Thanks again !

Great Communications - Always in the know
We loved our safari for our family of five, including teenage and grown boys. Don’t miss the Greenfire Lodge - the setting and accommodations are amazing with views right into the nature setting. Wayne at Kruger Safari is quick to respond and pleasant.

If they get there, top service
The trip started a bit chaotic, communication fault about the pick up. After a bit back and forth everything worked out well. We had driver Willy who is a very good driver, nows good places to stop for a bite or a drink, he drives relaxed and save.

Well organized and an unique Safari experience
Our safari experience in Tanzania was truly unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to our driver and guide. He was extremely friendly and respectful, with a calm and reassuring manner that made us feel comfortable at all times.
He was very communicative and always attentive to our needs, regularly asking about our interests and adjusting the itinerary accordingly. He made a real effort to ensure we had the best possible wildlife experiences, often asking other drivers along the way whether animals had been spotted nearby, so we could reach them quickly.
His driving skills were excellent, even on challenging roads, and we always felt safe. In addition, he shared many interesting and insightful conversations about the animals, the Maasai people, and their culture, which greatly enriched our safari experience.
He also organized visits to a Maasai village and a children’s orphanage quickly and smoothly, showing great flexibility and commitment. Overall, he went above and beyond to make our trip special, and we can highly recommend him to anyone planning a Tanzania Safari.
