Excellent
Gems of Africa was always helpful and replied immediately to any questions or requests.
I added on transport to and from the lodge and this was also very good, nice to meet other people on our way there.
I could never get hold of Aquila, but Gems of Africa was always available and reliable.
Aquila lodge was lovely, and the meals were very good - we all ate way too much.
The game drives happened at exactly the times they were scheduled, and free drinks at the end of the afternoon game drives were appreciated.
Aquila could have had more giraffes. And we never got to see the elusive mountain leopards.

The tour operator was well organized and professional
We had an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania thanks to our guide, John. We traveled in late December and spent most of our time in the Serengeti and Ndutu. John is incredibly patient, professional, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the names and behaviors of animals again and again (never getting tired of our questions), taught us simple Swahili. He proactively introduced us to local cultures and landscapes, not just wildlife. Most impressively, John somehow managed to find every animal we hoped to see -- and more. We saw so many lions that we honestly got a little tired of them by the end.
The most unforgettable day came when we got stuck in the mud in Ndutu for five hours due to bad weather. Despite the challenging situation and multiple failed rescue attempts, John remained positive, calm, and deeply attentive to our emotions the entire time, which made a huge difference for us. When rescue finally succeeded, he made sure we were taken back first, while he stayed behind with our luggage and the stuck vehicle for another two hours. We were lucky enough to continue our journey the next day, as John returned safely with everything around midnight. Turns out that the next day was the best day of the entire safari, as we had incredibly close encounters with all the big cats we wanted to see, and John managed to help us find every one of them.
Thank you, John, for being a great guide throughout the trip. We would be very happy to come back and travel with you again!

Excellent experience
In December 2025, we had a wonderful, tailor-made safari experience, visiting three national parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. Each of the three different locations offered a unique experience. We also managed to spot the Big Five. The organization was quick and smooth, and the accommodation (Eileen's Trees Inn) was clean and nice. Champion is an excellent tour guide, showing us many interesting things, and he is friendly and speak English well.

Very trustworthy company.
Very good Safari experience with Brilliant Adventures. Gladys organised us a very complete route with the best guide possible, Tumaini, who explains a lot about animals and knows more than 500 birds names!!! We couldn't be more happy with him. The accomodations were what we expected, nice food, good locations and all the facilities, very clean.

perfect tour for those who want to see the Big 5
We enjoyed a safari for 3 nights and 4 days, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro National Parks. All the meals provided were delicious and healthy! Even if you’re a vegetarian, there’s no need to worry—fried fish, salads, and fruits were served every day.
Our amazing guide, Rocky, made the safari even more enjoyable by explaining the animals’ gender, age, and sharing detailed insights about their characteristics and behaviors. He’s also incredibly skilled at spotting animals and predicting their movement routes.
Although we had to see the rhino from afar due to restricted access, we were able to observe the other Big 5 animals from very close. It was truly the best trip, and I highly recommend it!!

Exciting safari with Tazama Africa Holidays
5 star to Tazama Africa holidays.It was the best choice for our first ever safari tour to Kenya East Africa.
Our Safari ideas were simplified and very well suited for us.
The seamless communication directly with the owner Gitau is commendable with every detail explained to our satisfaction since it was our first ever Safari, we had lots of questions,we did not want it to be too long nor too short.We got exactly what we hoped for and even more.
Our driver Daniel who doubled as the guide was exceptional,from the time he picked us up we connected,very open minded and fun,he knows the parks perfectly.
We started off in Samburu National park,followed by Olpejeta Consevancy,Nakuru National park,our safari climax was the Massai Mara.
From the early morning drives with packed lunches and picnics(Mara)viewing wild animals at such close range was beathtaking.We had an istant where a cheeter literally crossed the road in front of us .
Daniel was on radio with other guides and it was fun driving to where others had found exciting citing of animals hunting or feasting.
Good job Tazama Africa holidays.
We will definately plan another safari with you.

Absolutely faultless- perfection
We have been blown away by the experience we received using Kihindo!
The communication from Philly through has been excellent. The value for money aswell we couldn’t believe!! We have experienced some unfortunate things during our travels across Africa in the past and we were so blown away by how amazing you all were. The logistics even when we changed our plans with our luggage, was managed excellently. All of your staff were so friendly and helpful and on time.
Thank you to our driver who took us back to Dar- sorry we didn’t catch the name - with the Beard!
And our safari guide Danford- he made our game drives so special, giving us lots of facts about the animals, searching for lions all over for us each day, even though we had spotted the big 5 on day 1!
We will be highly recommending Kihindo to all our family, friends and beyond. Thanks for the best trip.

“eagle eyes”, accurately spotting every different creature along the way
Overall, Antonio Safaris planned everything very well.
Each day’s itinerary was comfortable, and everything flowed very smoothly, we just had to relax and focus on watching the animals. The guide, who also acted as our tour leader, even shared the high-resolution wildlife photos he took, which was really important to us.

Great service to our fullest satisfaction
We booked a day trip from Zanzibar to Mikumi Park. To make it short: everything went absolutely smoothly thanks to the efforts of Reinie. All aspects of the trip where met exactly as described. Reinie checked on us before the trip and was available even on the day of the trip. The trip itself was great as well. In the park we were expected by our guide and driver who made great efforts to make us watch all the animals we were looking for.
We can only recommend Trvl with Deo and would be happy to book with them once we’re back in Tanzania.
