Passionate about delivering a top rate mobile safari
The trip was excellent in all respects. Pilot and the team were attentive without being intrusive, were friendly, fun and caring. They worked together really well and ensured that all of our camping needs were met. Pilot went even went over and above to borrow a suitable lead to charge Steve's camera in the car.
We appreciated camping in 3 very different locations. Water was not easily available at the 3rd camp but it didn't seem to pose any problems for us "guests".
Setting up and taking down the camp three times was a feat in itself. No complaining - even when the camp had to be taken down in the rain; our tent was always up first and down last.
Pilot
His organisation and desire to provide us with the best experience possible was clear. Pilot's passion for all things "animal" meant some long game drives, with no clock watching - we loved it! We even did a short game drive on the last morning as caracal had been spotted. We didn't see one but it was not for the want of trying and clearly we could not understand the message over the radio and would have been none the wiser.
His knowledge of animal behaviour was second to none and he also indulged us in our interest in birds. Pilot's knowledge of the game parks and the "road" system was mind boggling. His level of expertise in driving in conditions that we had never experienced before was evident. The trip back to the airport was quite something as Pilot was determined we would not be late.
Pilot was good fun to be with.
Paulina and the food
The meals were of great quality with fresh meat and salads, homemade bread and cakes cooked in the "oven" over the fire. Speaking to others with experience of "safari" in the bush, baking bread and cakes is definitley not usual! The meals were wholesome and plenty of everything.
There were also plenty of drinks - hot and cold, always on offer.
We noticed that hand washing (hygiene) among the staff was frequent - and provision of water and/or wet wipes when out was appreciated.
General
The early morning call with "your water is ready" started each day nicely. General ensured the car was kept clean inside and out. He sorted our bucket showers and presumably had the task of emptying the toilet cassette - we have a campervan and know what is involved with that. Guests with another company told us they had a "long drop" which was not so pleasant to use. The idea of a portable cassette toilet is genius.
Elena
Naturally warm, friendly and easy to chat with, Elena looked after us well. She took a lot of care making our bed and tidying up. Elena also took a lot of pride in setting the table (she makes serviettes into wonderful shapes), serving the food and drinks and preparing the "picnic bag" for tea and sundowners. She has an eye for detail and likes things to be done properly.
We would highly recommend a Pilot mobile safari.

Perfect safari
I cannot praise Ramja Safari fully enough. They stood out as a very professional safari tour company from the very first moment including their excellent customer reviews, beautiful and clear brochure, as well as their very professional and attentive correspondence. Steve was always quick to respond providing helpful advice and customizing the trip to accommodate our needs. We were then lucky to be guided around by James, who skillfully took us around Maasai Mara, but also Lake Naivasha, Lake Elementaita and Lake Nakuru. Thanks to his experience and broad network of other drivers, he was able to track down all kinds of wildlife you can ever dream of seeing - always with a smile and good sense of humour. We also got acquainted with the Maasai people, as well life along the road as we travelled around. Be aware of tourist traps, i.e. souvenir shops, visit to Maasai village etc., which require a lot of bargaining if you don't want to get ripped off. Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience, which created lasting memories for all our family. Asante sana!

Destiny Explorers is absolutely the right choice for a safari in Tanzania!
We had a very good time with Destiny Explorers. Even before the safari, the boss Issa was always available to answer our questions.
The selection of national parks was perfect. We were very lucky to spot all of the Big Five. Our guide David was extremely friendly, polite and knew the answers to all our questions. Our guide had a wealth of knowledge about the animal world. It was fun to spend time with him. The visit to the Maasai was also very interesting and exciting. We also hiked to the Materuni waterfall and visited a coffee farm. We were very happy with the programme we had chosen.
The selected accommodations were also excellent. We were treated in a very friendly and courteous manner. We felt very welcome there. The accommodations were clean and the food was delicious.
Destiny Explorers was also willing to adapt the original itinerary to our ideas and wishes: in the end we were driven to the airport for another two hours - at no extra charge.
Overall, we would recommend Destiny Explorers in every respect! Destiny Explorers gave us an unforgettable time and a fantastic safari trip. The price-performance ratio is also absolutely right here.

Safari was good, guide less so…
I usually don’t leave a comment when I’m dissatisfied with a tour or service, but a safari is on another level in terms of cost, especially when you choose a private one.
First, the positives: the person I corresponded with by email to organize the safari was professional, and the safari itself was enjoyable. We appreciated the stunning landscapes and wildlife, although, as it was our first safari, we can’t really say if we saw more or less than others.
However, we had issues with our guide’s manners.
The first impression was terrible. The pick-up was scheduled for 8:30 AM, as confirmed by the company the day before. Yet, when we arrived in the hotel lobby, the first thing he said was, “I thought you had vanished.” We were confused, and he went on to say he’d been waiting for a while because, according to him, we were supposed to leave at 8:00 AM. Even after I showed him the confirmation message from his company, he didn’t acknowledge the mistake or apologize and simply carried on as though we were at fault. Not exactly the best way to start. My husband and I were bewildered and instantly uneasy about what kind of person we’d be spending the next four days with.
Unfortunately, there were several other moments during the trip that made us uncomfortable. For instance, one evening we had to share a table at dinner. My husband, who was drinking a beer, thought it would be polite to offer one to the guide as well. To our surprise, the guide ordered two beers without hesitation — and to make matters worse, he didn’t even say thank you. It came across as entitled, like he just assumed it was his due. This lack of basic manners, combined with other odd comments and behaviors, made us feel increasingly wary and uneasy around him.
In the end, we decided not to confront him to avoid ruining our four precious days. We even gave him a generous tip since that seems to be the norm. He probably has no idea how we felt. However, we can’t help but think another guide would have made the experience far more memorable.
Ultimately, it was the breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife that saved the trip for us.

Excellent 👍
Steve was good in communication and kept me updated. The safari met my expectations. Most outstanding was our tour driver. He was very friendly, dedicated, and knows Masai Mara very well. We managed to see the big five courtesy our tour guide.

Sweet and Caring Dad !
Our guide Daniel was very caring and sweet that made our trip beyond just visiting places. He customized the trip in the best way within the limited timeframe we had. Despite lots of traveling from place to place, he made sure we had enough time to enjoy moments at each spot, telling us “You are on holiday. Take as much as you need.” He was not just a guide but was a caring dad and mentor for us. If I get a chance to visit Kenya again, I will definitely ask Daniel as our guide.

Karibu safaris is well organized and client oriented operator
We had a 6day budget safari in December 2024 and we can only share positive thoughts. Our trip is 5/5 value for money, the tented camps/hotels were nicely chosen (nice and clean restaurants and friendly staff) and our drivers (Felix and Joseph) were top! They knew exactly where to take us to spot the animals (and always respecting them) and -most importantly- we felt safe when they were driving.

A trip that will remain in our memories thanks to Killimanjaro adventure safari club
A trip (2 adults + 2 teenagers) that will remain in our memories thanks to Killimanjaro adventure Safari club. 6 days of Safari with our guide Bonny with impeccable French. We were able to see all the animals of the savannah and 3 rhinos in the crater. We did the parks of Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu and the Ngorongo crater. The lodges are just perfect, the meals delicious. A big thank you to the entire Killimanjaro adventure Safari club team!

10/10
I can say that the whole Kihindo safari experience we had on the mainland of Tanzania was a 10/10.
We took a ferry from Stone Town, Zanzibar and when we arrived to Dar es Salaam, our guide was already waiting for us there. There is a 4-5 hour drive to the Mloka Lodge, and although part of the road is bumpy, honestly, it was not something that unenjoyable.
The lodge was very clean, it had an authentic vibe and we had all the necessary amenities.
The food was delicious- all of the meals were tasty and well cooked by the experienced chef they have.
The overall staff was very nice, helpful and always smiling.
Our special mention has to be our great guide, William, who was always careful and happy to assist us in any way. He was responsible for us for the whole stay and was also our game drive safari guide, thanks to him we had an amazing day, we saw a lot of animals and created core memories we will cherish forever.
We definitely recommend having him as a guide, if you have the chance, he is friendly and he does his job with passion and profesionalism.
Don’t skip this great venture into the wild heart of Africa! :)

5 stars experience: thanks Mukhusini and Roberto!
ASSANTE SANE to Savannah Explorers and our excellent guide Mukhusini for this unforgettable experience in Tanzania!
Mukhusini incarnates a role model for customer orientation, being always focused to make our trip meaningful and comfortable. He speaks both Italian and English fluently, and over the years he acquired a deeped knowledge of the local culture and traditions, combined with an outstanding level of detail on all the parks and savannah animals.
In particular, we appreciated his not common flexibility, having customized the planning according to our personal requests. Thanks for your patience Mukhusini!
Speaking about accommodations and organization details, we were really happy with the lodges in Ngorongoro and Serengeti: faboulous landscapes, professional and pleasant staff, high quality services (beyond our expectations).
Our experience could have been even more positive with a better accommodation in Arusha. To be honest, Cold Crest does not match the same bar of the other 2, you could benefit a lot from having a new structure there.
Last but not the least: thanks Roberto for what you have been doing for Tanzania and their smiling cute people.
Best wishes for the greatest future success!
Davide and Giulia
