Excellent, with a drawback
We had an unforgettable experience during the safari: the guides proved to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and always ready to answer any questions. The surprise dinner in the savannah was also wonderful and made the trip even more special.
The only drawback was a car breakdown that took over six hours to fix. It was an unfortunate incident that slowed down the day, but it doesn’t take away from the professionalism and enthusiasm with which the rest of the safari was organized. Special thanks to Felix!

Kind, professional, accommodating, knowledgeable
We had a great time! Learned so much and saw a variety of birds and animals. Heaps of rhinos, elephants, zebras, and giraffes. All of the logistics went flawlessly. Highly recommend Sufiane!

Great knowledge about Lalibela
I had one day to spend in Lalibela, and Daniel organised a very interesting tour focusing on the most interesting carved churches. It was amazing! Lalibela has a unique kind of Christianity, and Daniel knows a lot about the history of the place. Also the tour that followed in Afar Region was organised by Dan Lalibela tours. It was remarkable and everything ran as planned. I can strongly recommend Dan Lalibela tours!

Tanzania Adventure
We were looking for a last-minute vacation destination (one month in advance).
I had it in my head that October was an excellent month to visit Tanzania (and I wasn't wrong).
After being turned down by a local agency because it was "too late to organize everything properly at a reasonable price," I remembered a jeep that had stopped for some participants of "Pekin Express" earlier in the year and the advertisement covering the rear wheels: "All Wheels Experience" with a picture of a gazelle.
So we contacted the company to see if they could help us. We had in mind Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, a visit to a Maasai village and the coffee plantations at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, and if possible, a trip to Lake Natron, all within nine days.
And… Mr. Edward’s answer was “yes,” a fully organized tour with everything we wanted except for Lake Natron, but in exchange, a refreshing dip in the Chemka Hot Springs (which, for those used to hot springs, isn’t quite that hot).
The total price, including airport transfers, comfortable hotels, full board, park entrance fees for the safaris, and a French-speaking driver-guide, was reasonable.
We toured the parks with Mr. Amani, who answered our questions and guided us to where the animals were, almost as if we had a pre-arranged appointment. We saw the Big Five, many other animals from all groups, territorial fights among monkeys, mating displays, vultures, hyenas and leopards feeding, lions with full bellies, cheetahs hunting, and lots of cubs.
After our safari with Mr. Amani, thanks to Mr. Edward, we visited a Maasai tribe during a ceremony. This allowed us to see them in their beautiful traditional attire, complete with accessories, and to observe their rituals without being distracted by our presence. An unforgettable experience.
The last leg of our trip was at the foot of Kilimanjaro. We hiked to discover a waterfall amidst breathtaking vegetation, encountered numerous chameleons, and participated in a coffee workshop where we learned the entire process, including a tasting. Another experience we won't soon forget.
And finally, we explored Chemka Hot Springs, where we were literally blown away. The pictures found online don't do it justice. A word of advice: bring goggles and a mask to see the bottom.
Otherwise, communication was easy and efficient. Plus, you're supporting a local business.

Memorable Safari with incredible Animal sightings throughout
I went on the 5-day all-around Northern Tanzanian Safari experience, through Tarangire, Serengeti, Manyara, and Ngorongoro National parks. Each was an amazing experience truly, my guides over all 5 game drives providing useful information throughout and driving to strategic anima viewpoints. Saw Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Cheetah, Elephant, Giraffe, Hippo, Zebra, and even Rhino from a distance! Driving through the grasslands across these stunning lands was the perfect scenic backdrop, and as I was a solo traveler meeting all the awesome people who paired with me on this journey added to the experience. Please go with Moria, they will give your dreams reality!

An Unforgettable 4-Day Journey with Wild Uganda: Professionalism, Passion and Personal Touch
My four-day journey through Uganda was nothing short of spectacular — a seamless blend of breathtaking landscapes, well-chosen venues, and exceptional hospitality. From the very start, Wild Uganda impressed me with their professionalism and responsiveness. Every enquiry was met with a quick, thoughtful reply, and their guidance during the tour selection process made planning effortless.
The itinerary itself was brilliantly crafted, balancing adventure, comfort, and authentic experiences. The choice of accommodation and venues reflected both quality and local charm, enhancing every moment of the trip.
A special mention must go to Andrew, my guide and driver, and now a friend, whose dedication and warmth elevated the entire experience. Always going beyond the call of duty, he proved not just a knowledgeable guide but an excellent travel companion, ensuring comfort, information, and entertainment throughout.
Even the occasional minor hiccup — inevitable in any journey — was handled by Wild Uganda with remarkable efficiency and grace. Their calm professionalism ensured the trip remained smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.
In every way, Wild Uganda delivered a truly unforgettable experience, showcasing the country’s wonders with expertise, care, and a personal touch that sets them apart. Highly recommended!!!!

Dan is an absolutely outstanding example of a professional guide - trustworthy, informed and caring.
When a trip to Madagascar was suddenly cancelled, I faced the prospect of being ‘stranded’ in Rwanda with no forwarding address. A stressful situation, especially as a mature woman and solo traveler.
Then I came across Daniel Shewalem of Dan Lalibela Tours in Ethiopia (NOT to be confused with Lalibela Ethiopian tours), who proved to be my guardian angel.
Dan helped me to book travel tickets, work through several unforeseen difficulties, and mapped out an absorbing itinerary geared to my interests and budget.
As a guide, he is an excellent communicator, and extremely knowledgeable, especially about the historical and cultural significance of Lalibela and the surrounding area.
Staying here was the perfect introduction to this extraordinary country where the landscapes roam from lush, rolling mountains, to vast expanses of salt plains, desert sands and vistas of volcanic rock that stretch to the horizon. And then there’s the Omo Valley, as richly diverse in its countryside as in its many tribal communities.
Dan ‘s care, kindness and professionalism are exceptional, and this far-reaching itinerary was successful because of his excellent resources: a network of regional guides and drivers who reflected those same ‘above and beyond’ qualities.
I have had many travel experiences in my 50+ years of globe-trotting and without doubt, Dan is a rare find. He created one of my most memorable adventures for which I will be eternally grateful.

Personalised and exceptional service
Rob listened to our brief and asked all the right questions (even asking questions that I had not considered!). The communication until booking was super efficient and we found ourselves booking in no time. The travel app allowed us to know exactly what we were doing and when, which was super. The actual travel experience was organised to the 'nth degree'. I could not have hoped for more local attention and help at the airports and the camps and anything in between. We did 3 fabulous camps in Kenya and everything went exactly to plan. It was just marvelous and Rob's team on the ground were just fantastic. It was a trip of a lifetime and we could not have done it without Rob's insight and experience and the organisation that Tailormade Africa provided.
