I had a great time with Benson!
I took a lower-budget camping trip with Benson. It was great working with him before the safari. He helped me pick the best palaces to go and the right times. On the day we left his guide, Simba, picked me up at the house I was renting and we were off. From that moment on, Benson took care of the rest. Our tents were set up for us, our meals were prepared, and there was always a nice bottle of wine waiting for us at the end of the day. Even though you are in a truck all day, it's tiring, so the wine was a nice touch.
The campsites he picked were very nice, but one of them had the option of upscale tents with beds. I wish I had know this was an option before hand as one night in a bed would have been good. The tenting area was nice too and there were hot showers.
Our guide did his best to take us to the animals we wanted to see. Most of us in the truck really wanted to see baby elephants and on our second to last day we found them! Being able to see the animals you want is part skill and part luck, but Simba was able to pull it off!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Cindy B.
Smaller area to cover - especially after being in parks like the Serengeti, but there is no need to search for wildlife! At the time of our visit, it was a bit more crowded with tourists than what we had encountered in other parks. The drive into and out of the crater is worth the visit alone! Amazing!

Review about Arusha National Park by Cindy B.
Beautiful and lush, loved this park! Lower number of game to see, but we were never disappointed - still saw lots of wildlife.

Interesting reserve to see if you have been to other traditional reserves.
For us Selous Game Reserve had two major advantages compared to other more popular reserves: Less tourists and different landscape. Unfortunately we went there in january, so the animal life was a bit poor at that time. But that was okey, since we saw most of the animals we wanted to see, but not so many of each kind. For example, we saw three lions, not thirty.
The walking safari was very interesting, too, and we had a really good guide.
Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Naomi
Not much wild life but was surprised to see a Lion with a kill and the a lone White Rhino being guarded by two rangers. As we were leaving the park what a surprised to be chased by a Rhino - that was the biggest highlight for me. Sad we could not see the famous Flamingo's as our timing was not the best.
Review about Hell's Gate National Park by Naomi
The best was the hike through the gouge - loved every minute of it and the guide a beautiful person who explained everything through the gouge and put up with all our joke, laughter and good time we had at this special place.

Jambo - the safari was a dream come true. The scenery is something no one can explain until one experience it first hand. The food was great and so was the accommodation. Loved the tenting lodges at Masi Mara Leisure camp and the people - a few of the high lights were going to the Masai Mara Village and being chased by a White Rhino at Lake Nakuru National Park and seeing the Hippo's come to graze at night time at Lake Nivasha Lodge. The two guides Simon and Eratus were the best. Their patients and knowledge of the parks was great and fantastic driving as well. The weather was cool at night and early morning which we never expected, that was great. We went in late April and early May 2014.
Review about Kenya by Naomi
Ok - the road to Masai Mara camp can get upgraded as that's a road that so many big vehicles use.

a great experience
My friend and I have visited Tanzania in March 2015 and we were lucky to have found World Tours and Safaris Tanzania and have them as our tour operator for our safari trip that went for 4 days (from 9th -12th Match 2015) in which we have spent the time of our life visiting Lake Manyara, the great and awesome Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater .. everything was delivered as promised .. they have sent us their agent to collect the remaining of the payment which was very nice for tourists who don't much about the place .. we were picked from our hotel on time .. met with our driver Masha and cook Musa who both did a great job .. then we met with Richard who genuinely made sure that everything was in place and right .. during the safari trip we have seen all the animals we hoped to see .. and the food preparation was very good .. i honestly expected some quick sandwiches for lunch and dinner .. but we've had good food soups, salads, main course, and even fruits for desserts, breakfasts had a good variety of eggs, hotdogs, pancakes, hot chocolate, tea and coffee .. before we have started our trip we were asked if any of us was vegetarian so they could modify the meals .. we have had a slight problem which was out of the guys hand .. and they apologized nicely and even paid our dinner and a hotels night after we got back from the safari, i would definitely recommend World Tours and Safaria Tanzania to my family and friends.
Thank you guys

I have used Africa Pathfinder Safaris twice....in 2007 and 2011. On both occasions Patrick was very professional, helpful and friendly. I would certainly recommend him to anyone thinking of visiting this beautiful country.
