The best safari operator in Tanzania!
We came to Tanzania for our first ever safari and we were blown away by the efficiency and organisation from mountain warriors.
Special shout out to John de guide! He is the best of the best. Made our safari the best possible and made sure we saw all of the big 5 in our two days!
We love John!

Keefus was knowledgable, a brilliant driver and had great English.
It was a great safari, especially for the price. Food was amazing, guide was great and we saw every single animal. Thank you all!

Simply perfect
We booked the safari with the Bluechip group. Gilbert contacted us directly and organized everything for us and answering all my (many) questions. That alone was simply perfect! Our guide, Francis, with whom we went on the safari, was incredibly experienced and friendly! We saw so many animals, and the accommodations were more than perfect as well. I would definitely book future safaris with them again! Thank you so much for everything :)

Friendly, Reliable. I would highly recommend Cheneso and her team ...
We travelled to Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. To be honest, we initally chose Chenese by chance as our previous provider cancelled the service at the very last minute. We couldn't have been more lucky to find Cheneso Safaris. Cheneso is an amazing person. Very knowlegeable, very kind, very helpful. The same extend to her team. We've done several tours and, in the end of the trip, they drove us to Botswana, helped us to cross the border and also arranged transfer for us from the border to our destination in Botswana. I really look forward to use their services again.
The comany was very flexible and put all the efforts to adapat to our group needs. Very reliable, great company, nice car. I highly recommend them.

Once in a Lifetime Family Safari
We booked a five-day safari through African Big Cats and had the most incredible experience. Our family of four (mom, dad, 11-year-old and 9-year-old) had every expectation exceeded.
Our guide, Obed, was INCREDIBLE. He was patient and kind with our two very talkative kids, spending literally hours every day answering their questions about animals. He realized I love birds, and made sure to stop and point out interesting and rare birds and tell me everything about them. He was a great driver. navigating rough and windy roads with ease. He was generous and shared stories about his family and childhood, giving us a really special look at what growing up and living in Tanzania is like.
I know you can't predict what animals you will see, but Obed found EVERYTHING! Mama and baby elephants! A leopard hunting warthogs! Hippos playfighting! Lions lounging in trees and eating wildebeest just feet from our Land Cruiser! Rhinos!!!
If you have the opportunity to take a trip with Obed, DO IT. He is amazing, and I cannot say enough good things about him. Our safari experience was exceptional because of him.
Our accommodations were fantastic - everywhere we stayed was welcoming with great food. My family has dietary restrictions (no gluten, no dairy), and the chefs and staff at each lodge were so helpful and attentive, often going off menu to make sure we had wonderful meals.
We also spent four days in Zanzibar, which African Big Cats also planned for us which was also wonderful.
If you are planning to travel to Tanzania with kids, I highly recommend African Big Cats. They were communicative and accommodating both while planning and during our trip. This trip exceeded every expectation - truly an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Excellent service and communication.
We loved our experience with Hagyko. Bernard was very responsive and communicated frequently throughout the booking/planning process that gave us peace of mind and confidence that everything was being handled. From our pick to drop off we had an u forgettable trip. Our driver James was very knowledgeable and provided us incite into the culture and information about the animals throughout the trip. The accommodations and food were exceptional. I would highly recommend booking with Hagyko.

We really enjoyed the safari.
We were a little apprehensive when we started, but everything was perfect for us. Our guide Chombo picked us up at the airport on time and was helpful throughout the trip.
He even handled the language barrier well (we don't speak a foreign language well). It was perfect value for money. We highly recommend this tour operator.

Amazing
I had such a great experience with Amafrick Getaways. They were easy to communicate with, organized everything smoothly, and made the tour really enjoyable. The service felt personal and reliable, and it was excellent value for money. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a hassle-free, memorable trip.

Attentive to his surroundings and understood client expectations
Every second is a memory made with savannah adventures. They made sure the excursion was a meaningful one. Tracking wildlife and making sure we got value for the package. The tour wasn't rushed it was breathtaking and for a moment we forgot the worries of the world.

A Great Way To See Uganda - Bucketlist Trip
Booking was easy and safe. The tour plan was totally customized to our needs. Isaac made several suggestions that were perfect. (Frankly, I had no idea what a Shoebill bird was...but having seen one, I highly recommend that excursion.) Some of the highlights were gorilla trekking in Bwindi national park, chimpanzee trekking (Kibale NP), a game drive in Lake Mburo NP, seeing rhinos in the reserve, and seeing 4 leopards! We also added a white water trip on the Nile just north of Jinja and the "Source of the Nile".
Dress for much cooler weather in the mountainous southern part of Uganda, and for much hotter weather near Murchison Falls in the northwest. Long safari pants and hiking boots are a must when trekking for gorillas and chimps. If you fill out the visa form online, then getting your visa at the Entebbe airport is easy. Access to ATM machines is decent (and Isaac knows where they ALL are!!). Also, we use T-Mobile for cell service in the USA and international access to 4G and 5G was plentiful.
And don't forget to pack a good attitude! This is a once in a lifetime trip to one of the worlds best places to see wildlife up close and personal.
