Professional
I travelled with Makisala Safaris this September and visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Serengeti. Everything was so well-organized from start to finish; our guide met us on time every day and handled every detail, so all we had to do was enjoy the parks.
Tarangire impressed me with its huge herds of elephants, Lake Manyara was full of birdlife and those famous tree-climbing lions, and then the Serengeti was simply breathtaking with endless plains and incredible wildlife sightings. The accommodations were comfortable and perfectly chosen, and our driver-guide was knowledgeable, friendly and made the whole experience fun.
I highly recommend Makisala Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania, they made my journey smooth, exciting and truly unforgettable.

Splendid Vacations always recommended, absolutely amazing experience
Hi,
We just visited Kenya and Tanzania last month, under the guidance of Splendid Vacations, from New Jersey, United States.
The trip went through, as promised, thanks a ton to Rachael, our tour coordinator, you did amazing job.
All our guides who drove us for 10 days were amazing too. Very significantly Joseph, covered, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara and dropped us off to Tanzania. He was very knowledgeable and helpful even to other rides sometimes.
The 2nd guide was George, amazing young man and very patiently showed us all of Tanzania, Serengeti and Ngorongoro areas, and Lake Manyara, before dropping off back to Kenya. Also helped us with shopping at nice Indian place, where we bought Tanzanide.
Our 3rd guide was very knowledgeable as well, and patiently showed us Amboseli National park and Mt Kilimanjaro.
Overall, the hotels were nice and we loved our trip. Some wonderful hotel examples are Enkorok Mara camp, Sopa lodge, Mara Serena( we only stayed at Masai, but it has more locations at al parks), Seronera lodge, Olituku, Oilepo lodge etc
I definitely recommend Splendid and will look forward for future trips.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience: 5-day safari in Tsavo East+West plus Amboseli
We (2 persons) have started to plan our safari only a few weeks before departure and luckily detected safaribookings.com; received offers that matched the indicated fix dates and rough ideas.
All offers really sounded good and reasonable and we received them very quickly.
We went on with the offer by Bienvenido tours and did not regret. The communication went well, we were picked up on time, our tour guide Michael spared no effort to give us the best possible experience in terms of game sights.
A really nice trip!
If there is anything I would suggest to improve, it would be: enable a higher partial amount to be paid by credit card in advance (instead of cash).
Guide Michael is to be recommended!

Martin and his team organize unforgettable, personalized trips in Tanzania and Zanzibar.
Big thanks to Martin and his team! We had an incredible time in Tanzania and Zanzibar. He helped us plan the trip, made suggestions and managed to include all our wishes. We felt welcomed and safe at all times and always got quick answers in case we had any questions. The safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and lake Manyara exceeded our expectations by far. We can definitely recommend Martin and his team and will come back soon!

Very well organized and I felt very well taken care of
Everything from the initial communication with Sandra, the communication before the tour and during the tour , until the pick up by the guide Gerald and the experience and activities by Gerald was very well executed. This is a really good company which really makes you feel that you are a very important person and they do everything to make the experience the best for you.

Very good
I had a wonderful experience from the outset with a meet and greet at the airports and a wildlife relevant book;the guide was brilliant; the food was mostly very good;
The accommodation was excellent but I would have preferred slight upgrade on the Serengeti tent.
Overall highly recommended
I would easily travel again with Explore plus

Bless Africa is an experienced Tanzanian firm with top-class crew!
We climbed Kilimanjaro with Bless Africa and are 100% glad we went with this experienced, professional Tanzanian firm. Owner Gody was once a guide and his wife was the first female guide on Kilimanjaro. Although two other climbers postponed their trip at the last minute for family reasons, Bless Africa took just us two, with a crew of 11. Everything ran smoothly and we felt safe and well-tended the whole time. The guides were outstanding, the food was amazing, one of the team dashed to get good camp spots each day, and our private toilet was included in the price. Talking of price, it was notably lower than international companies, even after our hearts wouldn’t let us tip less 30%. The trip was enjoyable beyond our wildest dreams!

Amazing 4 days safari with Maliaki
We had a 4D/3N safari tour through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with our driver/guide Maliaki. Amazing park and wildlife! But even more important, it is our guide Maliaki who made our experience even more exceptional. His knowledge and passion shone through our journey with him. Despite having to deal with multiples technical issues with the safari car, he made sure we had a good time and worked extra hard to make sure we had all the best chances to see the Big Five (which we did!).
Thank you again Mali!

Wonderful experience!
We just got home from our amazing trip to Tanzania, organized by Destiny Explorers, and had such a great time! Issa was great to work with during trip planning, providing us with plenty of flexible options for our budget and timeline. He was always very responsive and available to answer all of our questions.
Our team on Kilimanjaro was the best! Elly and David were fantastic guides, and the whole team provided the support we needed to get to the summit. We are so grateful to have shared our experience with them!
Hans was our driver for safari and was wonderful at pointing out the animals we may have missed, as well as getting us into position to get great photos!
Our accommodations were very comfortable and each location made us feel welcome.
We were very happy with our decision to book with Destiny Explorers and would definitely recommend them!
