Excellent Moment with my Family in Tarangire with Furahia Tanzania Dec 14, 2022 unforgettable
I had a wonderful day trip in Tarangire, organized by the Furahia Tanzania Safari & Trekking Ltd which took place on 14th December 2022. The staff for the Furahia are on time in terms of time management. Their Manager organized his team so that everyone was on time. We firstly agreed on the departure time a day before the trip. He called us in the morning to check our readiness for the trip. We check out of the Lodge in the morning, had nice breakfast, and then the Guide came to pick us from the lodge. They had prepared nice lunch boxes for us , water and soft drinks of our choice. We started the tour at around 7.45 am and the Guide who was so conversant with the geographic surroundings , he narrated everything on the way to Tarangire. He told us stories about the maasai cultures, clarified on fauna e.g acacias trees, grass, and flora on birds and their behaviors etc. So the trip to the national park was so involving , interactive and enjoyable We arrived at the park gate at around 9.30 am, and we heard news that , they spotted a leopard one of the big five, a very rare animal to be noticed , that was seen on a tree, some 300 meters from the Tarangire Gate,. The guide was so fast to get gate permission protocol cleared and permit obtained within 10 minutes , we proceeded and enjoyed viewing the animal, relaxed on the site. We proceeded with the trip, saw many elephants, giraffes, Warthogs, Zebras, impalas, and Phythons hiding in the bush. The Guide Mr Gift Mbwambo, is so kind, professional, knowledgeable, with lot of sense of humor. He listens to our demands and try out to flex the routes to be able find out and see some animals which are rarely noticed in the afternoon. it was unbelievable that the Guide could link up with his colleagues to be updated where a lion was noticed on that day and he managed to pick us to see a relaxing lion close to a thorny bush. He could use the radio call and again was updated on where his colleagues had spotted the Pythons. The Guide was also good on time management, to the extent that we were able to pass by the Arusha Snake Park and thereby enjoyed viewing various snakes in the park and later enjoyed camel riding close to the snake park.. We returned to the Lodge at around 18 hours had dinner and waited for the World Cup match quarter final between Morocco and France In Summary, Furahia Tanzania Safari and Trekking staff and management are nice, organized, friendly, professional, on time , knowledgeable, hospitable, considerate, who can make your trip to accrue the value for money. Indeed you will maximize your safari enjoyment and your stay if you pick to be serviced by this company.

Amazing Safari
Macha - Our Favourite Safari Guide!
Macha did everything to fulfill the dream of the Big 5, even if that meant that we had to drive a piece of the route back.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Joy Zarry
This one of the best crater with a lot of wildlife, you don't need search for animals as it is a open place, it's like you in a zoo.

Best African country to visit
It my first time to visit this country, though it was my second time to visit Africa, I really loved Tanzania and its lovely national parks especially the Serengeti with it's endless plain followed by Ngorongoro crater.

Helped plan and book our dream trip in Greater Kruger, South Africa - thank you!
We booked an 8 day, 7 night safari in South Africa with Wandering Thru with stays spread out across two lodges.
This was our first time going to Africa, and on a safari so we really didn't know where to start or how to book.
They were incredibly responsive, found us some lovely options to choose from, were very flexible with changes and our asks in selecting the 2 lodges we landed on as well as dates, and arranged for all transfers between airports and between the lodges for us.
Payment was easy to process, and they were in constant communication with us throughout the process.
Made it super easy, and designed the trip of our lifetime for us! Thank you so much Ale!!!!
Would recommend to anyone looking to do a safari for a first time or not! We will return.

Outstanding
Michelle and the Explore & Travel Africa team exceeded expectations in every way. My wife, her family (10 people total) and I visited South Africa in March 2022 and Michelle planned the perfect 5-day safari holiday at Simbavati Hilltop for the family. She handled everything including pricing for the trip, communication with the lodge, one-way flights from Cape Town to the safari location, transfer from the airport to the lodge and outbound transfers and flights from Johannesburg back to the US. The lodge itself was 5-star and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for luxury yet authentic safari experience. Let Michelle handle all of your safari travel planning - it will save you countless hours of research!

Amazing safari provider with reliable and friendly service
We booked a customized 5-night, 6-day safari through Marst Africa. It was my first ever African safari and it even exceeded my expectations.
Our driver was very professional and a genuinely nice guy. He shared a lot of knowledge about the animals and the plant life in the national parks. Our car was a brand new Land Cruiser. The rent for a Land Cruiser was somewhat higher than for other types of cars but it was definitely worth it. The road conditions in the parks were sometimes rough but we had no issues thanks to the car.
We started with three nights in Maasai Mara. The national park was huge and we saw tons of different animals during the stay. We saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, ostriches, elephants, lots of zebras, warthogs, basically everything one might expect.
After Maasai Mara we continued to Lake Nakuru where we spent two nights. Some of the highlights there were rhinos, flamigoes and a pride of lions who came to drink from a small pond located right next to our hotel restaurant (Lake Nakuru Lodge) where they could be observed.
I can definitely recommend Marst Africa. Communication with them was smooth and everything went as agreed. We will be using their services again for our next trip to Kenya.

Great experience I'll never forget
One of the offers I got through Safari Bookigs was from Crossriver Safari. It was the most affordable one and after reading other reviews, we decided to pick that one. We weren't wrong!
The communication was efficient and easy going. The driver and Erick came to pick us up on time. The accommodation was nice and safari van was comfortable. The tour itself (Tsavo West and Tsavo East) was spectacular. Lifetime experience! We saw so many animals and the driver gave his best to show us everything we wanted. We have no complaints about anything. 100% recommended!
