Great experience
The driver is quite smart as he knew the right spot to stop to see more animals. The chef is also great, as food was delicious and ready on time.
However, It is good to double check that all equipment for the safari are in the car before leaving.

They put in 110% effort and are wonderful!
My safari trip was amazing. This was my first time traveling solo and they made sure I was taken care of from start to finish! I had an amazing time and look forward to coming back and booking with them.

Best experience of my life. My family and I were well taken care of. I wish we had more time.
I have to admit we were a bit skeptical about booking with HillstarPRC because we didn't see much review about them, but I'm glad we did because as it turns out, it was one of the best decisions we ever did for our trip. We booked a 5 day Serengeti tour and couldn't be happier with the experience. They were very hands on, and they followed the itinerary to the T. My family and I were pleasantly surprised with their professionalism and care. We will definitely use them again for our next trip.

The perfect day out
Seka picked us up from our accommodation on the morning of our trip and took us up to the village of Materuni. There we picked up our tour guide and started our hike to the waterfall. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and a master at spotting chameleons which was a bonus! When we got to the waterfall we had time to relax and appreciate the view before we changed and ventured into the fresh Kilimanjaro water. After this we proceeded to the coffee tour where we were quickly served a delicious hot meal before being given the chance to process coffee beans in the traditional chagga way. Overall our tour exceed my expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and cannot complain about the price. I would definitely recommend taste of Africa tours to anyone who wants an immersive tourist experience. Thank you Seka for the memories!

Awesome company; incredibly professional, honest, conscientious. Recommended very strongly!
Adventure My Take is perhaps the best travel company we've ever dealt with and we've done business with many all over the world. They are extremely professional and prompt in responding to queries and making modifications to travel arrangements. Most of all, Tamara (the owner) takes personal interest in making sure that clients are satisfied. We were unfortunately hit with some bad weather in Kenya that affected our trips to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Tamara instantly made the necessary modifications, and upgraded our accommodations. She personally received us when we returned to Nairobi from Tanzania and drove us to our hotel.
Overall, I cannot recommend Adventure My Take more highly. It's a great company with a wonderful owner and staff!

Great Hospitality
The service was great, our tented camps were wonderful. We enjoyed our stay and the food was really good as well. The staff were friendly and could not do enough to spoil us and the kids/teenagers - they were always nearly creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere. Thank you so much for the great time we had. I look forward to returning with my family. Asante Sana!

Best experience ever
We started our planning 6-8 months prior to our holiday. Since the beginning, the "trip planner" from Soul of Tanzania helped us with recommendations and guided us on how to create our safari. We gave some input and insisted to stay to some accommodations but also the planner suggested to spend 1 more day in Serengeti and to we give other location; It was perfect.
We were a group of 4 people and we stayed for 5 days in Safari. The guide, Patson, was very professional with us and during our entire safari, he explained to us a lot of information. Also during the entire safari, he gave everything to see all the animals on safari, even he had to drive 2 hours in the opposite direction of accommodation.
It was amazing and we definitely recommend Soul of Tanzania to all our friends.
P.S. The food was very good, we had also wine and different types of juices during our entire safari.

amazing
This whole trip simply was amazing.
First of all, it was really well organized by Humphrey who , in addition, answered all our questions.
We saw all the animals we were hoping to see (buffalos, cheetas, leopard, lions, giraffes, elephants, and even rhinos, ...)
The food was really good and the driver Douglas was the best ( you could see he really enjoyed his work, and gave us a lot of explanations on the animals- with his experienced eyes impossible to miss any animal even far away !)
I would definitely recommend wild life oasis tour to anyone who wants to have a succesful and fun safari. Moreover we know for a fact that it is the most affordable tour that you can get among the numerous safari companies.
We are really delighted and warmly recommend this safari company !

P-E-R-F-E-C-T !
My wife and I have booked the 4-Day Selous Ngalawa Safari with Indigo Safaris at the end of October 2019. Our contact was Corinne Bly and she was perfectly professional : efficient, clear and nice. Nevertheless, it's impossible to write a review beyond on Indigo Safaris. It was just the service provider for the booking. The one that has leaded our safari in Tanzania was Bush Routes. But, once again, the service was perfect.
Just on little critical on that point : the information about our service provider during the safari was not clear. Corinne Bly told us that our tour will be conducted by their partner, Ngalawa Camp (the place were we stayed for nights in Selous). Actually, the real service provider was Bush Routes. Corinne Bly also gave us the name and the phone numbers of two contacts from Bush Routes but there was a changing of last minutes for our guide and we were not informed. In short, even if everything was fine, it would be better to be clearer, more transparent on these information, just to reassure the tourists that just dont't really know who they're really dealing with.
For the rest, everything was just perfect. A chance for us, even if we're supposed to share the tour with other tourists , because of a lack of booking on this period, there were just the two of us, with the guide, Romani. He is a truely good person, and professional too. That was one of our best meeting in Tanzania. He was a really good guide, and we've learnt a lot with him. We had the chance to share all those four days with him, including meals at Ngalawa Camp. Discussing with him about everything, even about life in general, was really really interesting and precious.
The program of those four days was nearly perfect and in compliance with what was announced : on the first day, Romani took us at our hotel in Dar es Salam, and we've drived for nearly six hours, across the villages. It was contemplative. After a short rest in Ngalawa Camp, we took a boat for a safari on the river with other tourists from the camp. It was so peaceful, and still contemplative. We've seen a lot of animals and we've watched the sunset on a little island. And the second and the third day, we've driven all the day, from about 7.30 a.m. to 05.00 p.m. in Selous Reserve. How to summarize it : it was just wonderful ! Even if we've read that it's not the most beautiful in Tanzania, and even if there are not all the animals we are expecting to see (for example, no rhinoceros), Selous Reserve is not crowed of tourists, and it's really appreciable. And there are so many things to see ! Contemplative, again and again. A little disappointment about our last day, specially the walk in the reserve. Clearly, it is a truely touristic attraction. It's quite interesting to walk in the bush after two days in the car, learning about trees and animals prints, bones and... poops, but it too formatted. And it's quite unpleasant to face an insisting guide (not Romani, a guide from the reserve) asking for a tip. So, this part of the safari was not necessary, on our opinion. We had more fun on our way back to Dar es Salam . We had two car breakdowns, especially the brakes (!), but it was like a part of the "folklore" : Romani (that is an outstanding driver and also a mechanic) fixed it quite easily, and it was for us a time to stop in a village.
Finally, about Ngalawa Camp, there are only good things to say : when we book a safari, there as so many offers that it hard to know what is good or bad, specially when you have a little budget. However, even with a little budget and a booking for budget tented camp outside Selous Reserve, with no doubt, it was wonderful. Ngalawa Camp is lost in the bush and is a real peaceful place to rest. The view is also contemplative (again, again and again !), and the common places really lovely. At night or in the very morning, to sit on the terrace of the restaurant, having a drink, a dinner or a breakfeast, watching at sunrise or sunset, by candle light, discussing with other people, was truely precious. The staff is incredible and generous, from the manager to the cooker. The food (breakfast, lunch, dinner and water included !) was so good and in quantity. They make you feel at home. As for the budget tented camp, don't be afraid ! These are more bungalows than tented camp : the walls are tented camp, but on a cement slab, with private bathroom. A lovely place for an honeymoon !
We absolutely recommend Ingido Safaris, Bush Routes and Ngalawa Camp !
