Amaizing
Everything where very good! One night it was very very cold. But otherwise it was good. I will recommend the park to all our friends. We saw lots of lions, cheetha and other animals. The food in the Restaurant at Twee rivieren were excellent. The restrooms were clean all the time. We have a great time!

5-days budget safari tour. Manyara, Serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro, Tarangire
As I understand I had one of the cheapest safaris in Tanzania. So I think for $900 everything was really cool. My guide Com met me at the Kilimanjaro airport in the morning and we started the tour. If you chose the program I had be ready to spend 2 nights in the tent camps and 2 nights either in the tent or in the hostel for $20 extra per night. The tents were good, sleeping bags were offered. The meals were also fine (especially in the hostel). So if you are not afraid of bugs or sometimes the cold water in the shower, be sure, you would like everything! Thank you guys for your openness and kindness.

WS Safaris provided a safe, nice and priceworthy arrangement for the hike of my lifetime.
WS Safaris mobilised a service team staffed with competent, service minded, skilled, nice and helpful people. They took good care of our group from arrival at the Kilimanjaro Airport until departure one week later. They provided everything needed for the tour on Kilimanjaro, including good catering and water. The camping equipment was not the fanciest compared to other, more expensive, companies, but it was fully acceptable considering the price. WS Safaris also demonstrated credibility and fairness when calculating the final payment.

Review about Chobe National Park by capturebeautiful
So many elephants! Great guides and it didn't feel too 'touristy' or developed.

A great experience
Me and my boyfriend had a great safari experience thanks to Aardvark. We did a privat budget camping safari and visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorongoro (if I remember well, we did it in 6 nights, and 7 days). Definitely something to recommend if you are looking for a near nature experience! Our guide Godfreay was very knowledgable and made the whole experience even more interesting and fun. With him onboard you don't need a binoculars or to worry that you'll not see all hidden animals - he spotted animals from miles away! We could observe the nature and animals in our own pace, which we really appreciated. Our chef Moses was a real magician and made simple but very tasteful food.

An excellent value for money safari
We had a four day / three night safari in Selous Game Reserve for four people, staying at Hippo Camp. Although my wife and I had been on safari before and knew what to expect, my parents (who had never travelled to Africa before) were apprehensive. We selected Usambara on the basis of the best price being offered and equally importantly for the responsiveness of Alex at Usambara to the frequent questions and specific requests that we made. Usambara were very helpful and willing to make changes to suit our tastes.
The safari itself was well organisedand problem free. We had a full itinerary (two full days in the park, a boat safari and a walking safari), which meant that we were able to see a wide variety of animal and bird life during the time in the park. Hippo Camp was conveniently located near the park entrance and offered spectacular sunsets over the Selous river each evening. Accomodation was perfectly acceptable for our budget range, and the food and service were very good. The only downside was the fact that power was turned off at 10pm, making for a hot and sweaty night without fans. All in all, a very memorable holiday.

A great organisation that is as he says flexible. Do remember you are in Africa!
Booked this trip for my father and I and not having the time to do research I trusted Kenya Walking to do it all for me.
A couple of changes I would recommend - break up your trip don't do a 10 day safari - you'll get bored even if you love animals!
- Mara is by far the best though Amboselli and Tsavo East and West does have it's advantages.
.....Different terrain and animals
Overall quite good - there was a couple of issues that Otenio sorted. A couple of horrible situations that weren't fixed immediately though a rebate was sorted. (although it wasn't the cash we were after)
We overall had an great experience and although I was extremely hesitant even to the point I was worried no one would be there to pick us up and my deposit would go astray. They were professional and dealing with the team was amazing.
I wish I could give it excellent though there is a few things that did affect the trip on a short term basis. Including some of the accomodation. Very similar to the comments I read before going on this trip... A couple of things to sort out OT and you'll have a great trip
For Zanzi bar travellers - DO NOT STAY AT DHOW INN!!!!
They stole my dad's Prada perfume, some cash - a neighbours gold necklace and I still haven't had a rebate or anything of the sort - still waiting to hear back on this one from both Paco - the owner at Dhow Inn and OT if you can do anything?
Just ruined the last bit of our holiday.
Finally DO the Gorilla Trek I was worried it wasn't worth the cash... It was! Enjoy folk - So much more to do, though 3 weeks in Africa was amazing!
