Amazing Safari in Tanzania!
Thanks to Hamza, Noah and the Wildebeest team for an amazing trip! Noah was prompt and helpful in all his communications in the six months between booking and travel and answered all of our questions with patience. Our guide, Hamza, was fabulous and really made our trip, I'm sure he must have telescopic vision as he could spot animals from huge distances and his knowledge of the wildlife/birds and their behaviour was excellent. We felt comfortable and safe throughout the 6 days, from collection at Kilimanjaro International through to drop off at Arusha Airport for our flight to Zanzibar.
My husband and I did a 6 night private safari including one night in Arusha pre-safari. The accommodation was all very comfortable and clean and the food was always good. My favourite was the Tortilis Camp in the Serengeti where I had the best meal of our holiday.
I was slightly nervous of booking directly with a Safari company rather than using a local travel agent, but I need not have worried at all. Everything went very smoothly and we had the most fabulous experience, absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions regarding out trip to Tanzania :).

Honest and convenient interaction.
Everything is done with me in mind and hence i feel safe with thonbird in the midst of insecurities around us where exploitation is rife.

I met Nicholas Kiritu on my tour and he helped me finding the names of birds.
I can recommend African Skinner Safaris because of Nicholas Kiritu. He is emphatic person and he knows a lot of interesting things to tell about the wildlife. He studies nature since his childhood and loves to share his knowledge with everyone.
Thanks.. Kindly follow the link.. on safari booking in the link above

Lots of wildlife - but passive experience
We did the Northern Circuit, including Ngorongoro in December of 2017. The amount of wildlife seen was mind boggling. However, sitting in the car for 12+ hours per day started to get boring and the experience felt passive. Next time I would like to mix up the experience with fewer days of driving and include more culture or walking activities.

Our trip was worth every penny
We enjoyed our trip to Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. My family and I were received at the airport by the driver/guide who I must say seemed upbeat about his work. He briefed us about the entire safari and patiently listened to our queries etc. We were able to see most of the wild animals during the game drive, the scenery around the park was breath taking. We were amazed about the variety of bird species that we saw. We plan to another holiday in Tanzania and hope it will be as good as the one in Kenya.
Thank you StarMount safaris, you were very professional! see you next year same time

TRULY INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
The tour has been very well organised, we got all the necessary info before leaving. On site we found 2 great guides (Ali and Mau) who gave us lots of explanations and has been very friendly. We were lucky enough to see all the big 9! The accommodation in the lodges and tent camps has been as expected, clean and very well organised, very good food (good variety and choice). It was our first safari, our expectations have been met. One of our cars had an accident so we had to stay all in one for half a day but we were able to continue our tour without missing any parts (poor Ali had to work hard on the car!).
many thanks, a great holiday!|

Excellent Staff and Arrangements, Responds to eMails, Highly Recommended
I planned the entire trip with Chris over the email. He responded promptly to all questions. To reduce my cost, I paid in cash (a mix of $s, Rwanda Francs, and Uganda Shillings) at the start of the 3D/2N Gorilla Safari. I was picked up promptly from Kigali and brought over to the border where my guide/driver Steven picked me up and we continued to the Rushaga Gorilla Heaven Lodge where I stayed for 2 nights. First day was relaxation. Second day we started early and left for Bwindi NP where Steven arranged the easiest trek for me. The trek was [still] arduous [for me] and would have been better to have a porter who can carry your stuff as well as assist on the rough terrain. All of us slipped and fell several times over but that was part of the fun too! However, to their credit, all the staff on the trek were very helpful. Seeing Gorillas in their natural habitat was a magical experience. Since we were given the easiest trek, we were back by 11:30 AM, while many other groups hadn't even reached their assigned Gorilla family. Rest of that day was relaxation and on the final day, we started early and after lunch and stopover at Equator, we were in Kampala by 5 PM. Steven was very helpful, professional, and well-known to all. He answered all my questions and was knowledgeable.
This was a very enjoyable, relaxed and slow-paced safari. I highly recommend Encounter Africa Safaris to all - they did a great job!
One improvement suggestion: please include coffee as well as cold-drink as part of the lunch on the third day.
