My experience was ideal.
We had a wonderful experience. There were three of us in the party. Our driver was experienced, knowledgable, professional, and friendly. The safari was booked through Buymore Safari. They were willing to work with my pick up and drop off in different locations with no issue. They made sure we were well taken care of. We stayed at Fisi Camp. This is a 10 tent camp with very personable owners who keep the camp small so that the bush feel is maintained. I loved it. The food was good, the tents and beds were comfortable, and the overall service was perfect for what we were doing. There are never any guarantees when it comes to the wildlife, but our driver did his best to give us the best experience possible in our wildlife finding and viewing. We got lucky with the migration timing, and the sight of wildebeests and zebras dotting the land for miles was awesome.

One of my best experiences in life
Kenya was amazing from day 1 until the end, and of course the visit to Masai Mara was the highest point of my trip. Everything was well organized, the camp was better than expected, clean tents, private bathroom, good food and very friendly staff.
I was lucky enough to see the begginning of the migration and that was superb! During my 4 days in Mara I had two guides and both of them were nice, helpful and friendly, stopping for pictures and activelly searching for animals.

Lifetime experiece to see the wild animals so close in their natural habitat!
The land of natural wonders.
I did a 4 day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and was able to spot all the animals very close except rhino. But is understandable that due to illegal poaching their numbers have been significantly reduced and according to our guide there were just 10-20 Rhinos left in the area. As they are also shy creatures, we were just able to witness one sleeping in the grass. Apart from that, we crossed numerous pride of linos, herds of elephants, crash of hippos, cape buffaloes and a couple of leopards.
If you ever think of a safari trip, Serengeti is a must!

beautiful trip
Peter was our first contact and kept a close eye all along, greatly appreciated. Did Kilimanjaro 1 day climb with guide Tibit, a very good guide and the 6 days 5 nights to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and enjoyed every minutes if it. Our guide Jackson was knowledgeable, funny and delightful. Saw all animals, visited a Maasai village. Lunches were very good and dinners always accompanied with a recap of the day with planning for the next one. Transportation was very good. Accommodations were good with a plus for Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel and Tukaone camps. Very nice and friendly staff at Octogone Lodge. Overall a wonderful experience. A really good group. Thanks to all!!!!

High quality and supportive staff
Geophery worked with us to schedule and customize our safari to Amboseli and Tsavo West, customizing it to end at Mtito Andei train station so we could continue on to Mombasa at the conclusion of the tour. Julius, our driver, was sharp eyed and helpful. We had a little cabin in Amboseli and a nice room at Tuskers Lodge in Tsavo West. kenan Tours is about the best bang for the buck in Kenya...

Incredible adventure!
It was my first safari! I very like animals and always wanted to visit famous Tanzanian parks. Although the trip was definetely not hakuna matata-style, it was GREAT! Mudy was a good organiser. He wasn't too intrusive and didn't make me to take decision and pay as soon as possible. Instead he answered ALL my numerous questions. When I arrived, he took me from the airport and explained a lot of things regarding Tanzania and safari.
For the first day in Tarangire we had 7 people in the car + guide, but it was OK since the car is very big. After Tarangire 2 people left, and for the rest of the trip we were 5 + guide and cook. The first night was in the campsite near the lake Manyara and it was a great place! We had small houses instead of tents and a majestic view of the lake. The rest 2 nights were in tents. Hot water was only in Ngorongoro, where the weather was cold like in my native country:D The food was great, everyday we felt like in restaurant! Tents were quite good, only sleeping bags were a bit cold. But Mudy awared me that I should take a warm jacket. I did so and was happy. The hardest night was the second one, which we spent in Serengeti, because we got into rain and I got some cold. Plus there was a hyena, wandering around our camp and it was quite scary to sleep, but now I understand that it was so adventurous! True joining with nature!:D
And of course, all the animals were just amazing!!! Huge thanks to our guide Rashid, who found all of them and told so much to us about them! In Tarangire we have seen 3 herds of elephants, numerous cute youngs and one very old clever female. In Serengeri we have seen my favorite cheetahs - a huge family of 1 female with 5 children. And of course lions were just our stars! We have seen them every day. In Serengeti we've seen 4 young lions, which were eating zebra. Next morning we woke up before the sunrise and managed to see a huge pride of 10+ females and one male, tearing apart poor wildebeest. We were just 10 meters away from them It was unspeakably scary and awesome! I did amazing photos!!! Thanks everyone for organizing my safari!

Amazing safari tour
We had a great week of safari in Tanzania by African Scenic Safaris. We were in Tanzania last November for two weeks. Our guide Tom showed us the beauty of different kinds of national parks. We went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti and Lake Natron. The difference of landscapes and views is breathtaking. Tom was a really good guide for us. He learnt us a lot about all the wildlife we saw on the road. His bird knowledge is amazing! We enjoyed the safaris very much. Thank you. Justin and Christine

IT WAS AMAZING! I wish every tour organizer would be like this
I was recommended to contact ITravel because a friend of mine did a safari with Freddy a few years back - And I'm glad he did.
Freddy (the owner) and ITravel are just awesome. Straight from the beginning this was a truly satisfying experience for me and my partner.
After initial contact, Freddy provided us with an example sketch of a safari and suggested a few options between 5 and 7 days.
He provided us with potential sleeping arrangements (camping and lodge) for every night, but always pointed out that we could adjust any part of the travel. During the entire process, Freddy was always available to answer all our questions and I always felt well-informed about what was going on and what to expect.
Even when we were already in the country and before the real safari started, he insisted on meeting us on the day before, to rule out any last-minute questions we had, discuss again the plan of the safari and catered to all our wishes: I asked whether it was possible to visit the Olduvai gorge, and he made it happen, even though this usually requires several days notice.
During the safari, Freddy and Pius (the cook) were always polite, helpful and fun to be around. They both have a lot of experience and know what they're doing. We were always safe and knew what was going on. The camping was adventurous and the lodges that Freddy suggested were absolutely marvellous.
And now to the important part: Freddy seems to be some sort of magician. I know that you cannot expect seeing certain animals and wildlife is not always predictable. Nonetheless, he managed to let us experience a leopard hunting and her cub, lion cubs, a pride of lions hunting, cheetah cubs, and more zebras, elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles, hyenas, ... hat I could count.
He knows pretty much everything about every animal and the national parks all around.
I am truly happy with the service Freddy provided us with, with the safari, accommodations and food and drinks we had and the level of personal entertainment (he is a very fun guy).
Summarising:
I cannot imagine anybody providing a better safari experience. ITravel is an amazing organization and I have never had a better tour organizer. I will definitely come back and book again with this amazing company.
PS: Feel free to contact me directly, I'm happy to elaborate even further on where we went and what we did and provide you with details of our trip.

Tanzanian safari was nothing short of spectacular!
We have used Sun Safaris in the past and have never been disappointed. Natasha was meticulous in helping us plan and coordinate our Tanzanian safari which included Americans and British groups rendezvousing in Kilimanjaro. We loved the accommodations at Gibbs Farm near Arusha and had the most amazing experience at the Asilia group’s Ubuntu camp in the Western Serengeti. It is a mobile camp that follows the Migration and it did not disappoint.
We will definitely be back!!
