Amazing safari experience with Avocet!
We took a private 3-day safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire with Waldon, who was an incredible guide! He was so knowledgeable about the animals, the different environments, and the history of each location. We saw elephants, lions, buffalo, rhinos (from very far away), ostriches, hippos, a ton of birds, lots of monkeys, zebras. It was all amazing and one of the best experiences of my life! Jeff at Avocet welcomed us at his office before we set off to outline our trip for us. He was really friendly and accommodating. We felt so taken care of our entire trip. All our meals were delicious and the lodge we stayed in near Lake Manyara was clean and comfortable, and in a gorgeous little setting -- a perfect place to relax at the end of the day. They even had some African drumming, dancing, and acrobats at night. I can't recommend Avocet enough. They really take care of you throughout the entire trip and Waldon is the best guide -- funny, kind, and knows just about everything about the parks you visit.

An Experience Abroad That Was Meaningfully Legit
I wanted to travel, experience, and learn about a developing country through the eyes of a volunteer. I wanted to travel somewhere and have an experience abroad that was meaningful. I didn’t want to be a tourist, but be someone who could bring something to a community in need and gain something from the local community members as well.
I soon decided that Uganda, the Pearl of Africa, was where I needed to go as a volunteer. Go Volunteer Africa was the perfect organization to go with and it was indeed. My experience volunteering at the orphanage with Go Volunteer Africa was wonderful.
On my first day as a volunteer I was taken to an orphanage which is part of the organization. As we pulled up to the orphanage, all the children ran out to greet me, fighting to hold my hand. I spent some time playing and interacting with the children and then spoke with the Director of the Orphanage.
I learned that most of the children were found on the street or in garbage dumps and brought to the orphanage. The woman who cares for all the orphans, is a wonderful woman and she has beautiful heart.
I am both happy and sad as I am about to leave the orphanage as I see both happiness and sadness in the eyes of the children when I tell them, I am about to go back home. My mind is flooded with a mix of emotions. I feeling nothing but pure happiness as I hope, I have contributed positively to their lives. Thanks Go Volunteer Africa for this great experience and can’t wait to see the children again.

Everything from A to Z was perfectly organized
To begin with we started with a briefing before my safari. This was done by Joan and he explained everything very clearly what to expect and what to bring. The next day at 8, the guide picked me up and my 2 day trip began. Together with other travellers we went first to Tarangire, slept in a beautifull lodge and the day after went to Ngorongoro. Everything was perfect. From the car, to the guide and the food. We saw so much and about everything our guide was able to tell something. Also congrats to the chef to make us these delicious meals. After all of this I was very tired, but alsof very happy. After this experience I had a debriefing with Daniel to improve the service even more for future guests.

Absolutely the best tour guide I have ever had!
Jartan was amazing tour guide. His knowledge of the wildlife was outstanding but also the land where the wildlife was and why!
Just when I thought this experience couldn’t get any better- another wonderful adventure would come thanks to Jartan’ s experience.
Jhartan treated everyone with respect and kindness. Not only was he great with the clients on the trip but also the bus drivers also plus his great sense of humor!😄
There were 10 people on the Safari - we all love Jhartan

Invested in client safari experience
The experience was amazing. Jocky personalized the itinerary according to our preferences and needs, including changes such as addition of one person.
Papa, our guide, was helpful, competent and knowledgeable. He always made sure to cater to our needs, so that we saw plenty of animals, including all of the Big 5 (including the elusive leopard 3x in one day!). It seemed that Papa is highly regarded amongst other guides, which allowed him to pinpoint where the various animals are dwelling based on other's chance meetings. He also made sure to position the car in ways that allowed us to observe and take pictures/videos from good points.
I would - and will - recommend Jocky Tours (and Papa especially) to my family and colleagues.

I recently had the pleasure of booking a safari trip with Shanjoy Safaris, and it was truly an experience of a lifetime! From start to finish, everything was exceptional, thanks to Patrick, the owner, and his incredible team.
Patrick's organization and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the trip ran smoothly. He was accommodating, professional, and genuinely passionate about creating unforgettable experiences for his guests.
A special shout-out to David and Tony, our drivers, who were nothing short of amazing. Their expert knowledge of the parks and keen eyes for spotting wildlife made every game drive an adventure. Not only were they excellent drivers navigating even the roughest terrain, but they also shared interesting facts about the animals and their habitats, making the experience even more enriching.
Throughout the trip, I felt safe, well-cared for, and constantly in awe of the stunning landscapes and incredible wildlife we encountered. Shanjoy Safaris truly goes above and beyond to deliver an authentic and memorable safari experience.
If you're looking for a safari company that combines professionalism, passion, and genuine care for their guests, Shanjoy Safaris is the one to choose.

Experienced and Knowledgeable
Lincons did an excellent job from planning our safari and keeping in touch throughout the 6 days safari. It was good experience and I would recommend Ramesa adventures.

Very professional and attentive
Our experience with TrueVine Safaris has been excellent. From the first moment, it was very easy to organize everything, and as soon as they picked us up from the airport everything went smoothly. We were able to do everything we wanted to do, and in a very comfortable way. In addition, they knew at all times what we wanted, our interests and even organized the stops for it, since we had already discussed at the beginning what those interests were. We arrived at the best places for birdwatching, and they even knew the best local guides for them, having them already on notice so that they would be available. A wonderful experience. Highly recommended.
