He was awesome.
The tour was great. Very knowledgeable tour guide, very informative. Would recommend even for people who live in the country. There is a very rich history of culture, the city and a lot of other things that one learns.
The view from the bus was awesome
Would highly recommend.

BEWARE OF THIS SCAMMER/CON ARTIST! Stole < $10K from US tourists
BEWARE OF THIS SCAMMER/CON ARTIST! If you come across Splendor Holidays and the owner Lucy Njeri- RUN. We made a mistake of trusting her partner Glory with Glorious Tanzania, who my best friend in the states has known for a decade. Glory was only able to provide services for TZ, so she referred me to her “amazing partner” in Kenya. We started planning this trip back in May of 2022.
At first Lucy was very responsive, the price was fair, and the itinerary seemed decent. Our entire trip was planned around the Giraffe Manor in Nairobi. She promised us that she got us a slot on June 5, 2023. We also requested a stay at Mahali Mzuri and she confirmed the dates were free. She confirmed that she had already booked these, and she asked for 50% deposit, which we sent. I sent the funds for a group of three travelers totaling $10,477. We had some conversations throughout the year, and she promised the trip was well planned and in March she claimed her sister died and she would get us a final itinerary.
On May 2, 2023, we were doing the visas when we found out her website was down. When we discovered that, I reached out. She stated that her friend’s mother had died, and she would get back to us. Glory went to Kenya to take Lucy to jail, she supposedly spent 3 days in jail. She admitted on video and via messages she used the money for personal reasons. She claimed that it was for funeral expenses.
When I was in Kenya I went to the embassy and the had me go to the police station, which is how we found out the police report number and court documents were fake. They watched the video of her “arrest” and find it very difficult to believe it was a police station. When Lucy was released, Glory sent me a photo of herself, Lucy, her mom and another person all smiling in a selfie, which is absolutely bizarre.
When I took it up on social media, a few people mentioned her sister died a few years ago. Not in March and Glory confirmed her mother stated the sister died before as well. Lucy, her cousin, and daughter have all been reaching to me and no funds has been returned. They sent a “contract” stating that they would pay it back in 10 months, it’s July and I haven’t seen a penny. The last conversation at the beginning on July, Lucy claimed she is still selling the land and it’s taking time.
She is still doing business and I am here to warn people to stay clear. Through my research, I found out she scammed a local tour operator in 2018 and he was unable to recoup funds. She also stole almost $3,000 USD from a tour agent in Uganda and wanted by police there. She also scammed a Canadian tourist out of a few thousand dollars too.
I hope reading this saves you from the trouble we have encountered.
Great

An excellent, mindful, friendly, and reliable tour operator.
Mousebird safaris organised a fantastic honeymoon safari for us. They were mindful, friendly, and reliable. They were open to our suggestions and able to make changes when needed. They were always very prompt to reply. A special thanks to them! We will always remember this trip.

You will have a fantastic journey with unbelievable emotions!
We found this tour through the internet. First, what we liked, was the pre booking deposit ( lower than in other firms). We just left the application, and our manager Veronica contacted us immediately. She is wonderful, communicative and professional person. She gave us all needed information, stayed in touch 10 days before trip. Moreover, she even gave us picture of the meeting person in air port.
The tour was good organised, the lunch was made fresh in hotel in Mikumi park. We had not only the variety of meal, but included drinks in prise.
Everything was really fast and easy, so you have just to enjoy animals ( we've seen all, except leopard)
After the arriving to Zanzibar, our driver was waiting us to get to hotel!)
Thank you, Safari tours Africa, especially Veronica!

First class service, very professional
Moonlight TE very accommodating. All staff are helpful and professional. They are knowledgeable. Safari staff were education al and knowledgeable. All the accommodations and transportations were more than sufficient. Frederick was reassuring with back-up calls to make sure we are enjoying all trips. On top of that, wildlife viewing exceeded our expectations : 27 lions in different occasions, 1 cheetah, 4 leopard and even 2 black rhinos at Ngorongoro Crater.
Thank you, Moonlight TE. I have no hesitant to recommend you to friends and future travelers. Asante Sana

It was a very good Safari in Tanzania
safari in Tanzania: We took a trip to Tanzania in July/23 and we chose Telly Safari through the Safari bookings website to do all the transfers, book accommodation and safaris. the chosen package was the 3-night Safari in the Luxury category. The company was always extremely punctual in transfers, the guides were very attentive, and the hotels we chose were wonderful and we stayed one night inside the Serengeti, a surreal experience. as we arrived early in Arusha after almost 48 from Brazil we stayed overnight in the city on behalf of the company as well and the last night before leaving for Zanzibar. Airport transfers in and out were included as well. I highly recommend the company!!

All the time looks after us to be sure everything is like we want
We have a great 6 day luxury safari with relish of Africa. All the time looks after us everybody Matias from the office. And Emanuel our guide-driver merite a special mention. Emanuel was very good driver in this difficult roads and he know a lot of things about animals and he try very hard to find all the animals that we wanted to see. All his explanation about wildlife was very interesting. He was very funny and pleasant. Definitely I will back again to do another safari with Relish of Africa and Emanuel. The lunch always very well organised and very good. All the time a lot of water in the car.
Everything was perfect.
