Great safari experience
We had a wonderful safari experience with Eddie at Kruger national park. Eddie is a great guide, he takes the time to explain what we are seeing with a great sense of humor. We never thought that we could learn that much about nature and wildlife. In addition, we got the best experience at the best price available. We recommend as a driver/guide to anyone wishing to live something beyond imagination. Thanks. Pascal and Annie

For the money I expected more
I did a mid-range safari and the other people in the group were camping. We saw many animals and we all got along well, but we were always the last people to leave camp each morning. I feel like we missed a lot of the best viewing. We all wished we could've gone out early in the morning and then come back to break camp down. There were also some communication issues with our guide and cook. I felt bad. I overall had a decent trip, but the other people in my group had a terrible time (no pillows, not warm enough blankets at night, etc).

Quality Safari Operator
We were on a 4 day safari to Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. I had arranged for this via email and whatsapp by reviewing and confirming the itinerary with Albert (owner). He was responsive and always available. He organized the trip to my liking and at the lodges I preferred. My wife and I had a private land-cruiser with a knowledgeable and delightful driver/guide Tom. We had a wonderful time, saw the "Big 5" and more. I had not been able to see a leopard in the previous trips to this area and had 2 sightings this time. The lodges were very comfortable and the food very good. The game drives while 'bumpy' allowed us to experience the reserve. I recommend this operator highly and without any reservations. Thank you Albert and Tom.

AMAZING! Efficient, kind, caring, extremely knowledgeable
We did a12 Day Safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania. Karen Maki was on top of everything! Plus she had the patience of a Saint - we had so many questions!! She also found us tickets to the Sheldrick Elephant Sanctuary - a miracle as we should have booked them months in advance.
The Safari vehicles were clean and in great working order, no breakdowns at all.
our Safari guides we James, Alex, and Adam. They knew everything and answered so many questions on the animals, their behavior, eating habits etc etc. The well being of the animals were very important to them. the food was good, the accommodation was excellent and everyone was very friendly and accommodating.
I HIGHLY recommend The Shadow of Africa tour company

Chloe was so helpful in planning our trip to Cape Town, Krugar, and Victoria Falls
Off2Africa was absolutely monumental in getting our South Africa trip in motion. We could not have found such exceptional accommodations without Chloe. We had the best time, and everything went so smoothly. We have been raving about our time in Capetoen, Krugar, and Victoria Falls to our friends. We still can't decide which location was our favorite! This was the trip of a lifetime, and we are so pleased Chloe and Off2Africa were able to make it happen so easily!

So knowledgeable of all the animals and birds he could answer all the questions we had
Tapestry of Africa was a great safari company. We had two of their drivers and both were so kind and courteous and easy to understand. They had great driving skills especially when I thought we were going to get stuck in the mud he said no problem and got plus out and continued on with the Safari. It was a great experience and I was amazed at all the animals that we were able to see.

Unforgettable Trip With Avocet Tanzania Safaris
We recently went on a 3-day unforgettable trip with Avocet Tanzania Safaris, and it was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of our lives!
From the very beginning, we were impressed by the professionalism and hospitality of the agency. Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable, who not only provided information about the destination, but also explained the beauty of nature, the lifestyle of the animals and the local culture in a great way.
Every moment of the safari was breathtaking! We saw wild animals such as lions, elephants, giraffes and countless other animals roaming freely. The comfortable vehicle arrangements, excellent food and excellent hotel management throughout the trip made our experience even more enjoyable.
We would recommend a safari trip with Avocet Tanzania Safaris to everyone. If you want a real adventure and great service, this is undoubtedly the best choice!

A Dream Safari for the Family
Our grandmother had a dream of bringing the family—ranging from 7 to 73 years old—on a safari. The moment the youngest child in the Ngorongoro Crater exclaimed, "This is the best day of my life," we knew the dream had come true.
We explored several safari options, but the decision became easy when Sondre, the manager of Tanzania Explorer, provided all the relevant details and followed up on our questions promptly.
Returning home after the safari, we felt that we had experienced a trip perfectly planned by a team of professional and service-minded individuals. They couldn't have done anything better.
Tailored Itinerary Summary:
Arrival & Dar Es Salaam: We arrived late at night and spent three nights at Tanzania Explorer's villa north of Dar Es Salaam. The villa offered enjoyable activities like a boat trip to the beautiful Mbudaya Island and a full day of sailing on a catamaran. The kids loved the tuk-tuk transportation.
Lake Manyara & Ngorongoro Crater: We took a morning flight to Arusha, where our guides, Sam and Joshua, picked us up in Landcruisers. They took us to Lake Manyara National Park, where we saw incredible wildlife, including monkeys, elephants, and antelopes. That evening, we arrived at Pakulala Safari Camp, located on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. On our way up, we spotted hyenas, buffalos, and elephants. The camp exceeded all expectations.
Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti: The next morning, we descended into the crater, where we were treated to stunning wildlife and scenery—a memory we'll cherish forever. Afterward, we headed toward Serengeti, where we witnessed the start of the migration. That evening, we arrived at Asanja Moru Bush Camp in Serengeti.
Serengeti Safari: We stayed three nights in Serengeti, with Sam and Joshua providing incredible wildlife sightings. One unforgettable moment was watching a herd of over 30 elephants mixed with 15 giraffes at sunset. The smell from a large pool filled with hippos will also stay with us forever. For the kids (ages 11 and 7), this was the perfect amount of safari. The adults, however, could have stayed longer.
Zanzibar: After the Serengeti, we flew to Zanzibar via Arusha, where we stayed at the Michamvi Sunset Hotel for five nights. The hotel was fantastic, with excellent service, beautiful surroundings, and delicious food. The kids enjoyed every moment. We also had great experiences at both the Rock Restaurant and Blue Lagoon Diving.
Final Thoughts:
If you're considering a safari planned by Tanzania Explorer, I’ll quote Nike and say, “Just do it.” Our grandmother and the rest of the family are beyond happy with this incredible trip.

Unforgettable Safari Experience!
We had an incredible and unforgettable safari! Everything was so well organized. We could really just lean back and enjoy our journey to the fullest. The communication before and during the safari was perfect. Our tourguide David was really friendly, funny and we learned a lot about all the animals we saw. Also the food on the Safari was really good and delicious. Even some adjustions of the travel plan we asked for were no problem. Everbody was so friendly and courteous! Thank you very much for this great experience!
