The tour operator has WeChat, and deposit can be paid in RMB.
I took an 8‑day group safari tour with Eta Adventure Safaris. I am a solo female traveller from China. Eta Adventure Safaris operates together with Super Eagles.
Pros:
1. They have WeChat support. The deposit can be paid in RMB via WeChat, only 10 % of the full payment. It makes communication much easier whenever any issues come up during the trip.
2. Airport pick‑up and drop‑off services are free of charge.
3. I selected my own hotels and asked them to make advance bookings for me. All check‑ins went smoothly.
Cons:
1. Fixed group tours cannot be customised. I really wanted to see the wildebeest river crossing, which requires long waiting by the Mara River — some groups wait from 6:30 until 14:00. On shared group safaris you have to accommodate every passenger, so sightings depend purely on luck.
2. Tour guides are assigned randomly, so experience varies greatly. My first guide John was excellent and gave me a wonderful start to the trip. However, my second guide was consistently one to two hours late. We filed a complaint and got him replaced.
Summary:
Group tours bring together travellers from all over the world to share travel stories, which suits outgoing people. I would say this operator is worth considering if you book their shared group safari. It is a relatively large local agency. I met another Chinese tourist whose agency was terrible: that provider downgraded her accommodation without consent, charged for airport transfers and ignored her formal complaints.

Simply the best!!!
I would 100% recommend Joagro Safaris Tanzania.
The whole process from start to finish was impeccable!!
Jonas really helped tailor our safari seamlessly from start to finish. No request/ query was to big or small.
Both out guides (Ben & Samuel) were brilliant. Always smiling, great banter and a wealth of knowledge when it came to the animals & their habitat.

Joseph was very attentive to what we needed, gave suggestions to us and gave terrific service.
We had no difficulty getting in touch with him, he was always spot on.
He took us to historic sites, beaches, golf, gave us a good idea of what was happening in Kenya.
He was driving through some difficult areas without difficulty and managed detours without a problem.
He was flexible and able to change plans easily if needed.
Great choice for our group of 9.

Leslie was attentive, answered questions , provided a great safari experience.
Tanzania Choice gives a great experience. Great communication in planning and giving a safari to remember. Guides work to find the animals you want to see and provide information on them. Loved lunch.

Unforgettable
Georgious was very professional throughout the whole experience. After searching the web for quotes etc, she was the most outstanding by far with best quotes and advice on our tailored trip to the Masai Mara Safari. An unforgettable experience with Senior our guide and driver in the Safari who went up and beyond in showing us as many animals including a hunt and kill in the short time we had. Choose horizon hunt, you won’t be disappointed.

Exceptional Game Drive
We recently returned from a safari in Kenya, and it exceeded every expectation. The entire trip was seamless, beautifully organized, and truly unforgettable.
Incredible Wildlife: We were lucky enough to see many animals including lions in the Masai Mara.
Our Guide, John Mwangi, made the entire experience extra special. His expert tracking skills, deep knowledge of the animals, and great personality made the game drive exciting and safe.

Fantastic Safari with an Outstanding Guide
We had an amazing 4-day safari with Safari Line Defender, covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha. Our driver and guide, Andrew, made the experience exceptional. He was professional, punctual, incredibly knowledgeable, and always available on WhatsApp, making communication effortless during the trip.
Every evening, he explained the plan for the next day and adapted the itinerary to our group’s preferences, which made the experience feel very personalized. We were a group of 7, and he made sure everyone had a great time while keeping everything well organized.
We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, and Andrew’s knowledge and passion made every game drive even more interesting. I highly recommend Safari Line Defender - especially if you’re lucky enough to have Andrew as your guide!

Brilliant service, beautiful accommodations, and an exceptional guide!!
We had the pleasure of spending 5 days in the hands of Serengeti Clarity. After crossing the border from Kenya following 7 days of safari already we met with our Tanzanian guide KELVIN. We had seen so much already in Kenya and were wondering whether things could get better? But as soon as we entered the northern Serengeti park Kelvin was able to show us some sights we thought were not possible. We stayed a little later than usual viewing a spectacular moment one we will never forget. In the days to follow Kelvin shared so much knowledge about the wildlife and the ecosystems we travelled through. Any questions we had were answered with precision. We travelled as a family of 3 with our son who’s is 9 years old. Kelvin really made Thomas feel at home and took time out at the camps to play games and have fun when he was bored.
There is so much I can say about the service and guide we were given I could write pages and pages going into detail.
If your thinking about a Tanzanian safari look no further than these guys 10/10

Amazing week with Gilbert as our guide
My parents, my sister and I went on a safari for a week to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, the Serengeti (3 days) and Lake Manyara. We had Gilbert as our guide. He knew a huge amount about the different animal species we got to see, and he could even tell the difference between an elephant and a rhino from a distance of about 700 meters, which I don't understand how. He even knew that at such and such a time, we should be in such and such a place to be able to see a specific animal.
He also speaks good English and apparently French as well. Gilbert is a pleasant and kind person who knows what he is talking about. He was very considerate, both towards the animals and the other people on safari.
He also did everything he could to give us the best experience, and he succeeded. He answered all our questions and more.
I can really recommend Gilbert as a guide :)
