If you don't pursue an ultra-luxurious experience, you can choose...
I had a personalized safari itinerary that only lasted 4 days, covering the central, northern Serengeti and Ngorongoro. As a result, much of the time was spent on the road. Maybe the animals have been hiding in recent years, so the ones I saw weren't as spectacular as I imagined, but the guide was still earnest in helping me look for them.
The wind and sand were enormous along the way. After the first day, I was covered in black from hair to toes, and my skin and respiratory tract were also full of sand. Later, on the return flight, someone suggested wearing a full-face visible veil directly, which would provide better protection.
Regarding meals, compared with other tourists' food, I thought mine was just average, which might be because I ate the same kind for too many days. I started having lunch boxes on the first day of hiking, and ended up eating them for five or six days in total.
It wasn't like the freshly cooked meals shown in online photos from other people, and of course I didn't see any other tour groups serving freshly cooked food either. However, I did see many people with hot meals, whereas all the packed lunch boxes were cold.
Accommodation: Maybe because I decided too late, I stayed in tents for two nights and in other types of accommodation for the other two. One place had no shampoo or body wash, and another had no hair dryer. If you need these, remember to bring them yourself.

The operator provided excellent organization, though food and accommodation needs improvment
Transport: Perfect. Our guide Nestor managed the flights Zanzibar → Selous → Dar es Salaam very smoothly, always punctual and reliable.
Safari: Very good. Comfortable 4x4 just for the two of us. Nestor was attentive, and we managed to see the “Big 3” (elephants, lions, buffalos), though no rhinos in Selous.
Accommodation: Lodges were adequate (mosquito nets, hot water), but overall quite basic with limited comfort and no extra amenities or blankets. We chose to spend the third night in a Dar es Salaam hotel instead.
Food: Could definitely be improved, lacked variety and quality.
Staff: Khadidja and Clara, along with the rest of the lodge team, were very kind and attentive. However, the lack of English skills made communication sometimes difficult.
Overall: Excellent organization and safari thanks to Nestor, but accommodation and especially food would need improvement.

We had a great time in Amboseli. Everything was organized including food and the stay in Nyati Camp. The elephants came very close to our car and our driver took us very fast to all the other highlights that the park is offering including cheetahs and lions. The view of Kilimanjaro was breathtaking. Asante sana Benson for organizing the memorable safari and beeing there for us whenever we needed help.

Funny, much knowledge, great eyesight for hidden animals and talkative
We had a great experience and saw so many animals! The Tour was mostly well organised, we got informed about our pick up times only late in the evenings, our tour plan got changed by the operator, which is why we sadly only had a little time on our last day.
The camp was good, it had everything we needed. Additionally the food was very good in the camp as well as on our safari tours. Our guides: Nestorin and Mtinangi guided us very well, looked out for all the animals and could answer all our questions.

Very good
The safari was very well organized. When we had questions, Suzan always responded very quickly on WhatsApp. Our Guide David was very good. We were able to see the Big 5 and many other animals in 4 days.

Amazing!
The tour was amazing. The accomodation booked for us was great especially Ambokili Cottages. Our tour guide, Tim, was excellent. He made sure that we are comfortable. He also knows all the amazing spots to see the animals and we managed to complete the BIG 5. The staff of the agency, Derrick, also updates us on how our experience is going to make sure we get our money’s worth. This tour is highly recommended.

Fantastic value for money
Kima Safari's one nighter at Nyerere NP is great value for money. From the staff at the lodge who made us feel at home, to our tireless guide Emmanuel who drove us over the two days, to seamless communications with Steven....all great. What a sunset river cruise. What a safari. Emmanuel drive us 40min into the park to ensure we sighted lionesses and their cubs on a kill.
Emmanuel is a huge asset to Kima Safaris.

A Perfect Blend of Nature, Wildlife, and Community
My family and I chose this tour operator for our mokoro trip in the Okavango Delta, and it was a gerat decision. From the start, Ralph was very professional, providing us with a clear and detailed quote. Compared to other operators, the value for money was excellent.
We absolutely loved our mokoro excursion with members of the local community—an unforgettable and authentic experience of being immersed in nature. Our walking safari was just as memorable: we encountered buffaloes, giraffes, and hundreds of hippos at an incredibly close distance. Guided by knowledgeable locals, we always felt safe and well taken care of.
Everything was perfectly organized, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations.
