kasine and Joseph did their best as a group leader to provide our group of 24 with a great knowledge
However as a first timer to Africa i would have prefered a small and more homogenerous.I had signed up for this trip to learn all about East Africa .Chips/gorilla tracking and wildlife safari experience combinations are just awesome though.

Amazing Experience on our first Tanzania Safari
We recently went on our first Tanzania safari trip that Rashid from Wild Secrets Safaris organized for our family. It was 6 days trip to Tarangiri, Serengeti south and Ngorongoro Crater. We had a fantastic guide- Mussa who showed and taught us so much about the culture, wildlife and places that we visited. We made very good pictures thanks to Mussa’s expertise in tracking game and angling the 4x4 to get best shots. We stayed in nice comfortable camps with caring and attentive staff. Food was plentiful and delicious. I recommend Wild Secrets Safaris with absolute confidence that you will be in good hands.

AMAZING!!!
The operations manager (Leonorah) is the best. Efficient, reliable, friendly and communicates even past her working hours incase of any changes eg flights. I have travelled with them several times and i have enjoyed my vacations to the maximum and seen the worth of the money spent. I would totally recomend them.

Joseph from Mufasa T&T was prompt, helpful, and worked hard to ensure we had the very best safari.
After investingating three Kenyan Safari companies, we chose Mufasa, because Joseph answered all our questions promptly, and we were impressed with is attention to detail. We had a 14 day safari, and visited the following Game Parks & Reserves;
- Meru; Samburu; Ol Pejeta; The Aberdares; Lake Nakuru; Masai Mara; Lake Naivasha; Amboseli; Tsavo West.
Joseph was most helpful in advising whether we needed one, two, or three days at each place, his experience was invaluable.
Accommodation and meals were all inclusive and to a high standard, all game park fees were included in the package.
Our driver/guide Tony was an excellent driver, knew all the parks very well, and was a very nice man. After a very wet season, sometimes the roads within the Game Reserves and Parks were compromised, Tony handled every situation expertly. He was constantly communicating with other drivers as to conditions, as well as animal sightings. Although the 4wd Land Cruiser was aged, with probably many kms on the clock, Tony drove it very well, and we were on hand to pull other vehicles, usually vans, out of the mud. I would recommend using a Land Cruiser as opposed to the van option. Sometimes travel between Game Reserves is many hours travel, and the Land Cruiser was very comfortable.
In conclusion, I am so glad we decided upon Mufasa Tours and Travel, and do highly recommend them. If I am ever lucky enough to travel to Kenya again, I will certainly be contacting Joseph for advice and bookings.

Returning Home
In April last year I travelled with my girlfriend to Malawi. We wished to self drive the route Lilongwe, Cape Maclear, Mvuu Lodge, Blantyre back to Lilongwe. Communication from the start was prompt, informative and friendly. On arrival we were met by another friendly and knowledgeable representative with an excellent vehicle full with fuel. The representative also provided a mobile phone with all our required contacts and detailed directions for our trip. Our trip was a relaxed adventure, Cape Maclear is beautiful, laid back and a requirement in life. We moved easily onto Mvuu driving down the lakeshore road with all its bustle and then open spaces. Mvuu lodge is luxury, tranquility and nature all around you. We saw all the game we wanted guided by local experts who had an answer for all our questions. Malawi is stunning for its sights and people, Malawian Style ensures the whole experience is easy and relaxed. We will return to Malawi and we will be in contact with Malawian Style when we return.

Amazing African trip
If you are looking for a custom budget safari, organized by an honest, fair and really kind manager, you should choose Robert from African Wanderlust Adventures. We were 3 people and requested a budget tour. As for me, honesty and transparent priced are the most important thing, you will find it here.
We had a great guide Joel, the cook and meals were all good and the "standard" Toyota 4x4 Safari Jeep.
I recommend this company for best Tanzania adventures!

Very awesome and welcoming
We travel as a group of 6 did a Safari (8-day) package with Montez Africa Safaris.
The communication with Montez Africa Safaris throughout our time with them was reasonably prompt and it felt like they were always happy to help us as best they could.They kindly organised a local coffee farm tour at the tail end of our stay.
Our drivers throughout our time in Tanzania were all very nice and safely got us to and from our locations.
We began our time in Tanzania with the 8 days safari.We went to Tarangire National Park (NP), Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Manyara NP. It was about mid-October when we started our safari and we had already missed most of the migration but were lucky enough to see the big 5 (lion, buffalo, rhino, elephant, leopard) and some babies/cubs as well (baby hippo, baby elephant, baby impala, cheetah cub, lion cub). Our safari guide and driver, Joseph Zulfikar , was very informative throughout the 8 days, pointing out various forms of wildlife and fauna. He did a wonderful job making sure we got to see all big 5 and more - Asante! The accommodation organised for us between each of these safari locations was very comfortable (Eileen's Trees Inn and Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp,Rhino lodge)and the food was delicious.
Anitha & Justin came to visit us before our safari departure.This was a very nice gesture and they were very lovely. We all had a great time and would gladly recommend anyone else considering a Safari package to go with Montez Africa safaris

An once in a lifetime experience!
My wife and I have just finished a three-weeks tour in Kenya, a beautiful country that we both love so much. During our tour, we took a 8 days road safari with Tazama Holiday and Antony who made it an once in a lifetime experience for us. This is the rightest choice that we have ever made.
When I started my Kenya plan, it is quite difficult for me to pick up a safari company among so many named ones in Nairobi. In order to save time, I searched on Safaribookings and checked with a couple of companies whose quotation can match my budget and expectations. Tazama Holiday popped out finally because they has a very reasonable price and a very understanding owner Antony. My contact with Antony is always straight and frankly. He not only gave me his comments and suggestions on my itinerary, but also quoted in a very detailed and transparent way. Proof by facts, the safari with Tazama is incredible fantastic and value for money which will stay in my mind forever.
I am quite lucky cause Antony conducted my safari by himself with a brand-new Land Cruisier, and this made our whole journey full of fun and surprise. The accommodations he chose for us are not only comfortable but also have the best view. Whenever we had any little problems with the camp, he can always fix it up immediately through his kind relations with the camp management. My wife always likes to call Antony a problem fixer. Even more in Samburu, he gave us an update when the camp we originally booked was closed due to the flood.
Our game drives are really exciting and amazing both in the morning and the afternoon. We traced and witnessed the Special Five in Samburu, and the Big Five in Masai Mara. My wife and I prefer the giraffe and elephant, and he gave us a lot of chances to see these beautiful creatures in an unbelievable close distance and nice position, giving us complete satisfaction on our safari tour.
When Antony got to know that I will take a fly-in safari to Amboseli, he even helped me to book the air ticket with a very favorite price while not requesting me for any deposit in advance. Furthermore, he even provided us a complimentary drop-off&pick-up service to and from the Wilson airport. Antony, thank you soo much for doing me such a big favor.
Kenya is a destination that we will return for sure. Next time, maybe Tsavo West&East, Zanzibar and others. I think I will no longer trouble myself anymore. All I need to do is to just send an email to Antony, and let Tazama Holiday to arrange everything for me.
From my point of view, Tazama holiday is surely not the biggest, nor are they the No. 1 ranked company, but they are more personalized, more attentive, and more tailor-made, If you are expecting and planning a safari in this wonderful grassland, just go with Tazama!

Awfull experience, cheaters!
I had a tour with this "company" in december.
First of all, they do not do tours, they just resell tours of the BIG TIME Safaris - https://www.safaribookings.com/p570
Or maybe it is the same company operating under 2 names...
Due to bad communication from their side I lost 1 day of my safari + I had to pay 350$ extra for their mistake! They did not send me any compensation. Instead - they just started to ignore me once the issue appeared they, so I had to find solution by myself.
I Higly DO NOT Recoomend neither this company as well as Big Time Safaris!
