Wonderful tour company!
Our 6-day safari with Naseeb Safaris was fantastic. Stops included Kibale for chimpanzee tracking, Bwindi for gorilla tracking and we also visited Queen Elizabeth National Park. The views were stunning, the wildlife was incredible, and the whole experience was just unforgettable. Special shout out to Nasiib, our safari guide, who was absolutely wonderful. He was a super knowledgeable, which came in handy, as we had a million questions throughout the trip. Nasiib went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. We’ve made a lifelong friend. I’ll definitely recommend Naseeb Safaris to anyone looking for an amazing adventure.

Buyer beware, our trip turned into a nightmare of delays and non-payment of services promised.
I gave my review two stars to firstly acknowledge the great tour guides and hosts at our accommodation venues. The accommodation 'camps' were outstanding, the people went out of thier way to make us cared for, and the food was good and plentiful. The second star is awarded to the experience in the Game Parks themselves; animals appeared and behaved as expected. As a biologist, I could not have been happier with the experiences in these Parks. However, the integrity and reliability of African Marvel and their principle executives left a lot (everything) to be desired. It was humiliating for everyone to be waiting around at borders and accommodation sites for paymentd to be received from 'head office'. On the last occasion in Kenya, the manager of the site let us travel on and claimed that our accommodation at his beautiful site had been paid. We believe that this was not the case, and that he was being gracious rather than enduring the embarrassment of 11 of us being held 'hostage' to Marvels poor performance. As he said "this does not reflect well on our country".

Best experience we have had with any travel / tour agent. Exceptional service.
David’s easy communication and willingness to work with us to design the ideal itinerary made him a stand out from the initial enquires I made. Through the process he was thoughtful, responsive, knowledgeable, adaptable and honest with his advice. Our trip was perfect. He had curated the perfect blend of accommodation and activities for an affordable cost, giving us a few additional options for add ons when we arrived - all with pricing so we knew exactly what to expect. The app they use, along with extra tips for what to expect in the various places, was the perfect guide on the road as well as for sharing with family so they knew where we were! He also kept in touch throughout the trip to offer extra help, and we had a surprise visit to put a face to the name when in Swakopmund. We could not fault anything with our trip or with the experience with Jangwa, and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering a trip - David proved they could tailor the experience to any level of assistance or independence desired. We will be repeat customers!

Superior communications,promptness, itinerary without surprises!
We have experienced travel to 79 countries BUT have never experienced a private excursion with so much content and organization! We were picked up at our hotel in Dar Es Salaam by Eddie right on time after being texted what to bring!(passport and all). Eddie (alias Honoratha Shirima) spoke excellent English and efficiently took us to train station right up to the customs agent!
We rode the train to Morogora (good seats were provided)! We emerged outside to see a sign with our names and Meshack met us and escorted us to the Kihindo Tour Van. He was cheerful, English speaking, stopped on the way so we could enjoy the sights and baboons! He drove us the 1.5 hour trip to Mikumi National Park. And when we arrived he walked us over to a safari jeep where we were introduced to one of the most enthusiastic tour guides I have met! Nuhu Ismail is about 20 years of age and studied Wild Animals at the University! He had one more year of graduate work to do but you could feel his enthusiasm as soon as we met. He and his colleague drove us into the park and his English was flawless! His enthusiasm never ending! He showed us animals, followed a pride of lions so we could really capture their activities, had us watch a mother elephant nurse her infant talking the WHOLE time of the reproduction of pachyderms!
Then we were treated to a wonderful buffet for lunch! He was so attentive and concerned about our comfort and service! After a beautiful lunch we spent many more hours exploring the park! He shared stories with us about medicinal use of plants in Africa! It was truthfully magical! This young man has so much potential I felt honored to be on this safari with him!( and we had already been on two other safaris! None that could beat this one!)!
At 5 pm our ride to the train station appeared like clockwork! We rode back to DarEs Salaam quickly on the train! There was a huge chaotic crowd and we had taxi drivers accosting us to be their passengers. We were a little frantic when out of the crowd steps Eddie to escort us to his car! Pure joy to see a familiar face!
What a day! Organized! No surprises! No hiccups! If you are thinking of a short memorable safari think Kihindo Tours and Safaris!
I know you can’t select your drivers and escorts but if you can think of requesting Nuhu Ismail you will always be happy you did! But when traveling in this region we will always call Kihindo Tours and Safaris!

An Unforgettable Experience with Serengeti Sunrise Safaris!
Our trip with Serengeti Sunrise Safaris through the national parks of mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, their service was exceptional and every detail thoughtfully planned and executed with care.
Our guides, Meddy and Rajab, were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the full safari experience, even persisting until we had seen all of the Big Five animals. Their punctuality, attention to detail, and warm hospitality made us feel completely at ease throughout the journey.
From breathtaking game drives to seamless travel logistics and unforgettable moments in Zanzibar, every part of the trip reflected the company’s commitment to excellence.
I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Serengeti Sunrise Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and truly memorable Tanzanian adventure.
