An amazing experience. Mountaineering, Safari and Beach in a single trip.
Wildlife in Tanzania is overwhelming. Weather was not that good, with floods and long power cuts. Accommodations quite good, not so the lunch boxes during the Safari. Same food for six days. Transportation and guide excellent. It was worth it overall.

Wonderful tour! Well organised and reliable tour company.
With some trepidation we investigated using a tour company based in Kampala rather than the UK. Caroline responded within 10 minutes to my initial online enquiry through this website, and from then on we knew we were in safe and competent hands. Caroline listened to our requirements and worked with us to develop a packed but amazing 17 night experience, taking in Murchison Falls, Kibale, QE Park and Ishasha, Bwindi, Mgahinga National Park, lake Mburo and 3 nights recovering on Lake Victoria! She then arranged Richard to be our guide and driver - an excellent recommendation. We found him to be safe and considerate at all times, extremely knowledgeable, not only about the wildlife but all things Ugandan, and a great 'spotter'.
All the accommodation Carol recommended, in mid range lodges, was clean, comfortable, well located and varied in style. We would not hesitate to recommend Gorilla Link Tours - any anxieties we initially had about working with a local tour company were totally unfounded and we discovered we had much to gain by doing so - not just financially but thanks to her wealth of knowledge and dedication to her customers.

Amazing experience
Fantastic 6 days safari which I will remeber all my life! We were on safari in november and I must to say that we were little bit afraid about the wheater but in fact it was sunny and it was raining only one evening( so you dont need to be afraid travel even off season).
If you are looking for quality,professional safari for a correct price than travel africa safari agency is the best option! We've visited tarangire national park,manyara lake,serengeti and ngorongoro crater(4 nights hotel/2 nights tents). From the begining the comunication was really easy and Mohamed was patiently answering all of our questions.
Even when my bag didnt arrive to the airport the agency arranged the transportation of my bag directly to the safari camping! Elisante was the best guide we could ever had (english/french speaking),he knows everything about animals and you can see how much he loves his job. We spotted all big 5 and many more..:) Our chef Meshek prepared for us everyday delicious meals(I didnt have a big expectation about the meal in the camping really),but I was pleasantly surprised.
After the safari we wanted to go to moshi instead of arusha and agency arranged it for us for free.Really,I have only superior words about the agency, they helped us with everything we needed that we could fully enjoy our safari stay. Highly recommended!!

Awesome safari!
We did a 6 day safari tour that included Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. The overall experience was amazing and Bartho and his team exceeded expectations. The safari package we chose was quite affordable and so the hotel at the start and end of the safari were fairly basic but definitely good value for the money. Our guide was Malisa and he was great. Friendly, fun, knowledgeable and just overall fantastic. While I am not sure how the animals we saw would compare to other trips at different times, we were blown away. Both by the sheer quantity as well as the quality. We were sleeping in tents for 3 nights and these were again fairly basic, but good value and added to the experience. Our cook was Jessi and he was also great. The food was mainly local influence from what we could tell and there was a lot of it. It was impressive what he managed to do on a camp stove. Bartho was very professional and great to deal with. Did everything that was agreed upon and was also full of knowledge about the local area. I would recommend this experience to everyone.

Excellent Zumbe Safaris
Zumbe Safaris and Mr Osman arranged for me a last minute tour to Ngorongoro. The communication was good. The driver was professional, friendly and on on time and the Safari was up to expectations. I hope to do a longer tour the next time with them.

A great Safari experience beyond our expectations
We made our 9 days safari arrangement to Mikumi, Ruaha and Selous with Dove adventure, all inclusive and we booked our 4 days in Zanzibar our-self stayed all time in stone town Tembo hotel, the Hotel was very nice facing the Indian ocean and with Swimming Pool, we had our lunch out of the hotel when we go for tour and even dinner two times. Jumbe from Dove Adventure suggested an amazing knowledgeable and friendly guide to contact for our short tours in Zanzibar, the guide was truly good and affordable and the same as the Safari guide (Michael), his wildlife knowledge is unbelievable, driving skills are perfects, searching and spotting animals during game drives left us wonder how he managed to see animals with bare eyes from a long distance that we had to use a binocular to identify the animal. Our favorite animals on this safari were Lion, Elephant and Leopard and we saw all of them and managed to be very close to Lion and Elephant in All Parks. We went walking with the ranger in Ruaha and did boat safari in Rufiji River in Selous, we also did a Dar es Salaam city tour before taking the evening boat to Zanzibar and the national museum turned to be our best place to get most information about Tanzania. All our Safari arrangements were perfectly managed by Jumbe from Dove Adventure.

Hannington - The Real Pearl of Pearl Afric T&T
The whole trip was a triumph!!! In terms of accommodations, locations, things we have seen, food we have tried, people we have met and wildlife we have been, just for a while but still, part of. To see all these animals in their natural scenery was magical. Watching gorillas in Uganda and then in Rwanda, when they are eating, playing, living basically, was the greatest and the most wonderful experience in our entire life. I fell in love with Uganda and Rwanda. Such a beautiful countries they are. But probably we was not be able to experience all these things if we would not have our Hannington. The guide, The driver, The tracker, The everything we have had during these two weeks in Africa. He made our trip unforgettable. With him we felt save and secure. Thank you Hannington. This was our first trip to East Africa but I am sure, not the last one. Get ready my friend, we will be back!!!

Staajabu experiences with mount Meru
We had a Staajabu experiences with this compagny!! We decided to climb mount Meru and Brian arranged everything for us. Brian and his whole family were so special and friendly. We could stay at their house and we feel so welcome. We ate delicious food and they want to help us with everything. The mount Meru was really amazing. We rent equipement with Staajabu so during the trip we were well equiped. A perfect 3 day tour with Hardson as the best guide. He knows everything about nature and history and is happy all the time!. We smile on every picture en we really enjoyed it. The 2 days of rain did not bother us and we were lucky with the good walking clothes and poncho's. The food was delicious during the tour and the whole crew was so friendly and helpfull. I really can recommend this compagny Brian Will arrange a wonderfull trip with your preferences. Thanks a lot for everything!

Great trip
We were picked up at the airport and was able to arrange a trip that day to Zambia. Liberty is a very personable and knowledgeable guide.
Also did the Chobe day trip with him, which was well organised. Thanks again
