Exceeded all expectations
We found Ramble on here with not that many reviews but after speaking to Paul we decided to go with them. He answered every question we had before going very quickly via email or phone, and even helped organise other aspects of our trip not related to the safari. Edward was an incredible guide who treated the animals with respect and ensured we had amazing experiences. As a family of 6 it was looking to be quite an expensive trip so we were quite nervous beforehand. Paul and his team of drivers made every part of the trip as easy as possible and removed all stress so we were able to enjoy our time without worrying about transfers, timings and check-ins. Thank you so much to everyone at Ramble, we've had the best family holiday.

Professional yet personal
We took a chance booking with a small company for a family trip and couldn't have been happier with the outcome. The people at Ramble Africa Safaris had great communication and went the extra mile several times to make sure we were well taken care of, safe and happy.

Hyrax Safari office was helpful and very responsive.
Our experience with Hyrax Safaris was AMAZING. We couldn't have imagined the variety of animals we were able to see in such a short period of time. Our guide Sammy was ALWAYS in the right place at the right time. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, their habitats and how they interacted with the environment and each other. The $$ paid for the 3 day safari was WELL WORTH THE IT !! The Hyrax Safari was an EXCELLENT VALUE !

Great
In 2016 Sox was our guide for a private familiy tour (4 persons). At that time he was working for a different safari company. We travelled from the Victoria-falls through the Caprivi-strip to the Okavangodelta. From there we went to Makgadikgadi-Pans and to the Chobe National Park.
Sox cared very well about us during those two weeks. We felt save and comfortable all the time. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We could learn a lot about the wildlife and his home country and we had a lot of fun with him, especially in the evening at the campfire. Thanks for a great time!

Great Safari Experience
With Full Package Adventures we experienced a well organized and amazing 4-day Safari. This made our Honeymoon Journey, which we made together with our kids, unforgetable. The good planning, starting with Pick-up from the Airport, special wishes like vegetarian food, up to wonderful hotels, was done by Faraja, who answered all our questions in short time. One day we spent at different cultural sites and shopping possibility in Arusha with Kevin, who drove us safely through the busy city. Our great safari guide Gilbert showed us then all the wonderful places and wildlife and provided interesting information about the animals and also about the different cultures and moreover, answered all our questions patiently. With beautiful pictures and memories we ended the trip. Hakuna matata, Gilbert!

Amazing experience. Fantastic company.
A once in a lifetime trip to Mount Kenya. 4 day hike via Sirimon route. John was exceptional at communicating, quick replies and accommodating all requests. Kevin our guide could not have been better. Very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the mountain. Took us up at the perfect pace and ensured our comfort throughout. Ian cooked meals that I did not think possible on a mountain and Brian our porter looked after us so well. Would happily book through Papiro Adventures again.

A trip I am most proud of to recommend to my friends
It is very competitive for the safari business in Tanzania and we are lucky to know the Passionate Guides -- A small operator founded by Beatus. After comparing with another 14+ operators, we chose to go with the Passionate due to the professional suggestions, fast response speed and a better price. Even if we were still a little bit worried about the trip (as we've never been to Africa before) but we feel assured soon after we met Beatus and our guide Athuman at the JRO airport. After 7 days when we left, we were 150% satisfied with our trip and fully loaded with the valuable memory in Tanzania. After comparing with some of my friends going with other operators afterwards, I really feel there are several very good points worth my recommendation to the Passionates:
1. The safari jeep is in good maintanence: The road is pretty bad for transportation between and within the national parks (Especially the way to Lake Natron). Even if it is dry seaon in Sep, the safari Landcruiser can still easily break down on the super bumpy road. Our Landcruiser were all good across the trip and our guide Athuman drove skillfully and carefully. He also cleaned the window of vehicle daily to keep clear view for us. This is quite a basic requirement but many other operators still may not be able to notice it.
2. Willing to listen to clients' needs and act profesisonally: Since we met at the airport Beatus emphasized that it was always better discussing with our guide Athuman what we need in time. We indeed did as he suggested: We always discussed the next day's plan daily on the dinner table and told him what animals we wish to see. Athuman tried his best during day time satisfying our needs and provided us chances to take wonderful photos for the animals. Even if we spent long time for some day hurried from on location to the other, he would get up very early at 6AM with us to earn some time for our game drive. Good communication with the clients can make both sides happy, we really appreciated this from Beatus's team.
3. Providing professional gear and suggestions: We went to Antarctica before but were not aware of taking a professional camera for high resoluaiton shots. Therefore we prepared a camera with a heavy 60-600 mm lens with us for this trip. Before we arrived, we were checking if Beatus can provide us with bean bags for support the camera on the vehicle, and he prepared it for us for free as well as providing some useful suggestions for photo graphing for animals. This is a very good evidence showing their professionality.
When we went back home, Beatus and his team came to welcome and check with us the feedback for this whole trip. Throughout all these activities, I really feel they are seriously running this business with true passion in their mind for the career. And it indeed brought the clients like me unforgettable experience in Africa. Therefore, I recommend the Passionate for safari tour in Tanzania without any reservation.

never better
This has been an extraordinary journey that surpassed my expectations. The itinerary unfolded exactly as we had planned, and the accommodations were precisely what we desired. I wholeheartedly recommend our guide, Juli, to everyone. He exuded enthusiasm and a strong sense of responsibility as he guided us through the grasslands. We had the incredible opportunity to witness the Big 5 and encounter a multitude of other animals. The entire journey was nothing short of awe-inspiring.
