Besta Tanzania Safari
We really enjoyed our 5 day northern parks safari with Serengeti African Tiours. We saw lots of birds and animals (big 5 included). By the 4th day we’d seen so many big cats we’d lost count. Highlight was a gathering by the river… a large pride of lions including 6 cubs, a herd of elephants (around 40) and a large herd of buffalo (50+). Our guide Ombeni was great. His knowledge of the local flora and fauna was truly impressive. I think he was even more excited at spotting the big 5 than we were. Our kids (13 and 15) thought he was awesome! Let’s be honest, on a once-in-a-lifetime safari like this, having the right guide means everything. If you’re looking for a professional and knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humor we’d definitely recommend Ombeni and Serengeti African Tours

Great Safari experience thanks to great Tour operator!
I recently spent 9 great days in Kenya with my wife and 2 children. Our trip was tailor-made. We suggested what we would like to see and what kind of vacation we wish, and Classic Explorers (run by Benson and Agnes) made our wishes come true. Since our arrival to Nairobi airport, everything went well, and we experienced Kenyan hospitality and friendliness throughout the whole trip. We visited Elephant and Giraffe Center in Nairobi, had a great dinner in the city, an unforgettable safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and than 3 relaxing days in Diani Beach. During the Safari days we had excellent friendly drivers, full of knowledge and eager to show everything there is to see in the Parks. We managed to see the Great Five thanks to them! The hotels (Sofa Lodges) suggested by Classic were within our moderate budget but the service provided was everything but moderate (spacious rooms, friendly staff, delicious European-style food loved by my children etc.). Summa summarum, if you want a great vacation, go with Classic Explorers!

Wines is extremely kind and thoughtful, and also, very importantly, super easy to communicate with!
We had a tour of Stone Town, a safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and we had a tour of the foothills of Kilimanjaro. Every single person who helped us through the whole journey was extreme kind and considerate and very helpful. We had a great time making friends with everyone and the tour was flawless. We will definitely be coming back and using Psalms Adventures again!

Very reliable operator, great experience, perfect service and communication
We booked a 7D/7N Comfort Safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara as well as visited the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes near Lake Eyasi (not part of the standard offer, but highly recommended). The safari was perfectly organised, we had a great guide (Ernest) with enormous knowledge of zoology and ornithology, a good vehicle and a well thought-through tour. All accomodation was really nice: spacious rooms, good service and tasty food, everything clean and all well functioning. The communication with African Big Cats Safaris was very good and fast in preparation of the trip. In all respects, I can only recommend to travel with African Big Cats Safaris. And of course, I can also only recommend travelling in Tanzania, it's a lovely country, really friendly, helpful and welcoming people, and definitely a wonderful experience one has to have had at least once in a lifetime.

Organised to perfection, I honestly couldn't expect anything more it has been amazing!
We are a UK 28 year old couple who came across Serengeti by chance and if you're reading this, I can't stress enough how important it is that you book Serengeti Smile (and request Champion, he's a legend!!!). Everything has been on time, if I had any questions prior to coming and whilst being here, they were answered.
The value for money is great considering you're spending about 11/12 hours a day in a jeep and seeing SO much stuff. Each day was spent in a different area and there was always a new animal or sight to come across - champion knew exactly where and when to go to get the best views/photos.
The accomodations picked by the operator were all good, we have slept well every night and had nice food. Some of the food has been amazing (pumpkin soup!). There was always a variety of food so don't worry if you're fussy. Packed lunch boxes are taken from these accommodations which again, have a wide variety of food to keep people satisfied. There is also unlimited water and fizzy pop whilst travelling around. Everything is thought of by Serengeti smile!
Champion is down to earth, funny and a pleasure to be around. He made an already amazing trip that bit more special and we will never forget him!
We hope to be able to return one day in the future but once again, if you're reading this then GET THIS BOOKED. You won't regret it.

Great service
We're really happy about choosing Nature Connect for our trip. Sorting out the details and booking was a breeze, thanks to Francis who was super quick in getting back to us and making sure we were in the loop. All our hotels were amazing.
Richard, our tour guide, was an absolute rock star. He filled us in on everything we wanted to know about Uganda and its culture, had the lowdown on all the landmarks and wildlife (even the birds!). If you are vegan, don't worry, Richard made sure that each hotel knew ahead of time our requirements. We mainly opted for local dishes, it's so good that you won't want to leave the country!
The only thing that held us back from a full 5 stars was the vehicle itself. We ended up spending quite a chunk of time in there and ran into a few minor hiccups. Still, on the whole, I'd totally give a thumbs up to this company.
