An unforgettable and fantastic trip experience
The safari was done very professionally. From meeting at the airport to the flight back. Before the trip, a link was sent to the application, which describes the program with a description of each day. All accommodations are of a high standard, excellent food. Special thanks to Eli's professional driver and Amoni's guide. We were able to see all five animals and even more. We were able to visit all three national parks. It's fantastic. Support and resolution of any issues at the highest level. I recommend the Eyes of Tanzania safari company to all tourists who want to find a reliable tour operator.

Phenomenal Kilimanjaro Trekking
What an amazing week! I had the most incredible experience on the 8-day Lemosho trek with Zara Tanzania Adventures. From the moment we contacted them to inquire about the trip, they were fantastic and committed to ensuring that we were happy. We had an awesome team supporting our trek, with everyone going above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort. It was an unforgettable experience with truly amazing people. I highly recommend Zara Tanzania for Kilimanjaro trekking as they undoubtedly have the best support system!

Best tour operator in Kenya
These 6 nights, 7 days has been the most memorable time of the year so far! From to and fro airport-hotel transfers, to the game drives in Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli, Axis Africa perfectly organised everything. We visited all places we wanted to in a very systematic and comfortable manner. The choice of resorts for our stay in all the destinations was pretty good. In addition the 4 by 4 Land Cruiser with side and top open, we got is indeed the best vehicle which provides at most comfort during off roading in rough terrains and allows a 360 degree view of the surrounding.
Our guide Ben is the best guide we could have asked for. He is a pro when it comes to animal sightings during the game drives. He understands their behaviour very well and stops the car at strategic positions for capturing Nat Geo level pictures and videos. We managed to see the Big 5, the other big five and many more animals at different locations. His experience and off roading skills made our day long safaris the main highlight of our trip.
All of us had an amazing time and we thank Axis Africa and their team for the excellent service.

An unforgettable safari experience
From start to finish, our experience with Bienvendo Tours was absolutely fantastic. Communication was excellent right from the outset, every question was answered promptly and clearly, and all arrangements were handled seamlessly. The value for money was outstanding, and every detail of our trip was perfectly organized, including smooth and stress-free transfers.
The accommodation was amazing. Each evening we enjoyed delicious food while overlooking a watering hole, watching elephants play and hippos bathe, a truly magical experience for our whole family.
Our guide, Gedaliah, was exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to all our needs, even making sure our two daughters (aged 9 and 11) were comfortable with plenty of stops along the way. His passion for the wildlife and environment made every moment of the safari even more special.
We can’t recommend Bienvendo Tours highly enough. It was the perfect family adventure, and we will definitely be booking with them again, and requesting Gedaliah as our guide

There is no shame but the most shameless operator.
Vervet Safari was the 2nd operator that we selected after we found our 1st selected operator, Qualified Tours Tanzania, was not reliable. (Please refer to the comments under the name of my wife, Teresia) Vervet Safari was referred by my friend who had engaged with Vervet Safari for many years. Hence, we had full confidence with Vervet Safari and their managing director, Basili Augustino. We asked him to arrange a 15-day safari trip for us (9 persons) and fully paid the cost to him 1 month before we departed to Tanzania. The cost was all-inclusive, including accommodation, meals, airport transfer, Safari jeep, driver, fuel, national park fee etc. The first few days' arrangements when we were at Arusha were ok. When we left Arusha, the nightmare began. When we had left Arusha and stayed at Manyara, Basili borrowed from me $200 and promised to return the money to me when we returned from Serengti. In the morning, we departed to Serengeti, Basili suddenly informed me one of the drivers had left, and we had to wait for another driver. We scheduled to depart at 8:00am but delayed for over 2 hours. Due to the delay, we couldn't reach the tent before sunset. More unfortunate was that the head lamps of one of the deeps were malfunction. One of the jeep had to travel in the dark. Fortunately, we reached the tent safely at 20:00 but had wasted one day. After the dinner, we were told the tents fee had not been paid. We had to pay it ourselves. We contacted Basili. He promised to pay it back to me when we returned from Serengti. The next day, we continued our trip in the morning and headed to Northern Serengti. When we almost reached the entrance. the driver told us Basili hadn't paid the park fee. He stalled to resolve it and finally we had to stay overnight at the village outside the park as the park gate was to close at 18:00. We had to find the hotel and pay by ourselves. The next morning. we departed early and reached the entry gate at about 12:00 noon. At that moment, Basili still kept stalling paying the fee. In order to keep our schedule moving, we agreed to pay on behalf of Basili. Basili agreed and promised to pay it back when we returned from Serengti. With the help of the gate manager, we were allowed to pay with our personal credit card. Unfortunately, there was some problem with the payment system. We had to wait for another 2 hours before we could enter the park. When we entered the park, it was almost 16:00. When we reached the tents after a short tour of the park, it was 18:00. We had again wasted another day. We finished our morning game drive the next day and left the Northern Serengti back to Central Serengti at noon. When we reached the park gate, no need to say. we had to pay the fee by ourselves. However, the park manager did not let us pay by ourselves. He said the jeeps were under the name of Vervet Safari, and hence, the fee must be paid by Vervet Safari. We had asked the manager to help to see if there would be another ways, but we were unattended. Finally, we had to stay overnight at the village outside the park again. No need to say, we had to pay the accommodation and meals by ourselves. We were very terrified and left Serengti the next morning. When we reached the accommodation at Manyara, Basili met us and said sorry to us. He also promised everything had been settled and told us not to worry. However, he didn't return the money to me immediately. Instead , he promised to write an agreement to me, promised to return the money to me within 2 weeks after we finished the trip. We thought everything was settled as promised by Basili and kept moving on the journey. Out of our expectations, the fee for culture visits was not paid again. We also need to pay the fuel cost on our way back to Arusha. At the end of our trip, Basili didn't even arrange airport transfer for 7 of our team members.
Conclusively, we had paid USD7,8xx on behalf of Vervet Safari, but up to this moment (6 weeks after the trip), I have not received a dollar from Basili.
From my personal experience, I met 2 unreliable Tanzania local travel agents. One of it was referred by my friend, who had worked with Vervet Safari for years. I am wondering if I am really, very bad luck or there is some .........unethical practices in the industry? Furthermore, the inconsistent park management at the Central and Northern Serengti are another concerns.
I wish my comment would help the other travelers.

Excellent
After contacting lots of tour operators i shortlisted Josana tours for :
1) Joseph the owner was very patient and ready to make changes in itinerary as per my requirement.
2) His rates were very competitive compared to others
3) I had read few receives and they were all positive. I hence took chance booking with him but to be honest we, group of 8, were all happy with his services.
Our guide George really added value to our safari tour. In October, we could see river crossing by Zebras and wildebest all thanks to George. He took us to the right place at right time and his strong intuition helped us see river crossing in October. Also during our Safari he took us so close to animals that we could see them just few meters away. He was really knowledgeable and well in touch with other guides which helped us see almost all animals along with hunting. We also saw birth of baby deer. In short, safari with Josana tours was truly and experience worth it.
PS: ours was a private safari and all accomodations were customized.

Ayalew is an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide!
Hidden Ethiopia Tours brought Lalibela alive for my wife and me during our visit in August 2025. They were professional, flexible and very knowledgeable in their history and culture. We had a once in a lifetime experimce of being transported in time and space! We came away renewed in our understanding of orthodox Christianity of the Lalibela kind, but in our spiritual life, as well.
