Best Guide and Team
I just returned from an incredible East African safari, and it exceeded all expectations, thanks largely to our phenomenal guide, Julius, and the fantastic team at the tour company.
Our guide, Julius, was absolutely outstanding. His 18 years of experience were evident every single day. He was incredibly responsible, ensuring we were always on time to catch the animals at their most active. He is a man of great integrity, strictly adhering to the park rules to keep everyone safe and avoid penalties, yet his vast network of guide friends on the radio meant we never missed a sighting. His patience and compassion, perhaps from being a father of five, shone through. He was always helpful with our luggage and kept the vehicle spotless.
Furthermore, a huge shout-out to Narry from sales! He was incredibly energetic and helpful from the very first inquiry, answering all our questions promptly and making the booking process smooth and easy.
I cannot recommend this company enough, especially for Chinese travellers. They provide sincere, top-notch service that made our trip truly perfect.

They stole our money
5 pax, paid deposit 50% on mid Aug, arrived on 6th Sept and paid the remaining half in the office.
2 days no issue in Masai Mara, though there was a change of lodge (which they claimed their staff booked wrongly, but it's an "upgrade").
Highly suspect they book last minute.
Then 3rd day no accommodation was booked at the discussed Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge when we arrived at the lodge in the evening.
Driver claimed he got the funds for the park fees at 5pm then no reply from the operator regarding accommodation booking voucher since.
unreachable via phone as well.
Asked the lodge staff to check the remaining of the accom, no bookings were made under their name or our names.
Went to Naivasha Tourist Police Unit to get an advise but he said to go to Dosasha's Nairobi office to claim refund.
Lilian is nowhere to be seen in the office, only Alfa.
Another guy you should be aware of.
TLDR, we involved embassy, TPU HQ, and diplomatic police in Kenya.
They still haven't refund us.
It's a whooping USD 13500 for 5 of us.
Do not go with this operator.
Whichever staff name they claim they are, it's the same person.
Reddit has a year old post that someone got scammed by the same person as well.
They'll likely create another agency name and do the same thing all over again.
I've already have at least 5-6 groups of people around my travelling date that got scammed or last minute cancelled Tanzania part. They thought we can't get them cause we're foreigners.
If you're a victim, make it big.
Involve whoever you think can, only they will take action.
Someone emailed safaribooking.com and they claimed they'll take this operator off the list in the site.
I see it's still all and well here.

Professional organisation offering expected game drive in Masai Mara
The pick up at Nairobi is always a bit chaotic. Indeed, no matter where do you stay, a cab has to take you in the cbd where you will pay the activity (we paid in US dollars). Then, you directly go to Masai Mara in a nice 4x4 vehicle driven by your guide. For us, it was James Gichina who was really good during the game drive to bring us close to the animals and especially the big 5. Regarding the hotel, it fits the expectations, the food was good. To resume, it was a great experience to discover the wild world of Masai Mara,

Amazing safari, perfect service, great lodge, and an unforgettable visit to the Maasai community
Dear Daudi and the entire Asante Bibi Tours & Safaris team,
Jambo!
We hope this message finds you all well. First of all, thank you so much for being part of such a special moment in our lives — our honeymoon! Our 3-day safari to Mikumi National Park was an unforgettable experience, and we are so grateful to have shared it with your amazing team.
From the very beginning of the booking process to the very end of our trip, everything was handled with incredible professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. We truly felt taken care of at every step. Daudi, your coordination and communication made everything smooth and stress-free. Our drivers, Mhina and Kelvin, were not only skilled and reliable, but also warm and friendly. Rajabu, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and made each game drive so exciting and informative.
The safari itself was beyond spectacular — we were blown away by the wildlife, the stunning landscapes, and the peaceful beauty of Mikumi. The lodge where we stayed was equally amazing — comfortable, welcoming, and surrounded by nature.
One of the highlights for us was the visit with the Maasai community. That experience touched us deeply and gave us insight into a culture that is so rich and unique. It was truly one of the most memorable parts of our trip.
We can honestly say we had no issues whatsoever — only wonderful memories that we will treasure forever. Thank you for making our honeymoon so magical. We will definitely be recommending Asante Bibi Tours & Safaris to all our friends and family, and we hope to return one day for another adventure!
With warmest regards,
Sergio

Friendly
Very good safari but could have been a bit more clear on what the trip involved as he didn’t tell us some of the things that we needed and that we weren’t getting. Great value for money though and really organised

The best safari experience I could imagine
So after sending many quotes to alot of companies I decided to go with this company owned by John. The quote looked great but what would await me was even better. Because of the high season some of the accomodations where not available so we had other ones than that we saw on the quote, but they where much better. For the safari we had experienced guides and we where lucky to see the big 5 in 5 days of safari. The guides had a lot of knowledge about flora and founa and also about history and geography, so every question someone asked would be answerd, and they even liked being asked questions because it challenges them to think.
Overall I would really reccomend booking here if you want a unforgettable safari

A very personalised programme.
There was a lot of contact with Julie's before, he was responsive & listened to what we were looking for but was also able to make suggestions.
As a group of 5 we had our own land cruiser & driver/guide who was fantastic, really knowledgeable, professional, easy going & fun to be with. George made it a really enjoyable experience, we felt totally at ease & confident with him.
The whole trip was fantastic value for money, we stayed in fantastic places, I particularly liked Ol Pejeta & Samburu Simba lodge. Staff were lovely & very attentive everywhere, nothing was too much trouble, nice touches like a hot water bottle in your bed after a night drive!
We saw an amazing variety of animals, a lot of the encounters were really close up inc with leopard, lion & cheetah.
I would highly recommend Julie's Tact Safaris & George our guide.

Unforgettable safari experience with exceptional service
Our safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was truly unforgettable. From the start, communication was smooth, clear, and professional, making planning stress-free. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we saw the best of Tanzania’s wildlife while always making us feel safe and comfortable. The itinerary was well-organized, accommodations were great, and every detail was taken care of. We felt the trip was excellent value for money, and their reliability gave us complete peace of mind. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience.
