not recommendable
Arrangements before starting the trip were managed well. The trip started with a delay of 2,5 hours. No explanations were provided, neither an information about the timing of the later departure. The accommodation in the tent lodge was not good at all: the mosquito net was not arranged, the bathroom was really dirty, food was acceptable, service personal rather rude. The bus we were transported in was not comfortable and noisy. The driver drove safely, was friendly and adapted to our wishes along the game drive. The game drive was nice as the wildlife we could observe was stunning.

Unforgettable safari experience!
We booked a 6 day safari with Ranger Afrika to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park and Lake Manyara National Park. Our trip was custom made and nothing we inquired about was a problem as Ezekiel's responses were fast, clear and professional. The game drives in all the parks were great and the guide had a lot of knowledge about every park we visited and all the wildlife. We spotted a lot of wildlife and our stays at Kubu Kubu Lodge and Maramboi Tented Camp were amazing.
We had unforgettable safari experience and i would absolutely recommend Ranger Afrika to anyone who wants to do a Private Safari in Tanzania.

it was very good trip with go explore safaris in tanzania
I would be so naïve if I had never planned this trip to Tanzania with this company after a period of searching on trip advisor and other travel websites I found go explore safaris and sent them my trip request for me and my daughters as they had gotten holidays from there college and I decided to plan for them a trip to Africa. Tanzania was the main destination so brian was the main correspondence person who responded to all my emails, he gave us a very nice tailor made trip proposal for 11 days in Tanzania visiting all the top destinations in Tanzania. so after a few emails and couple of questions we trusted this company and made our trip meet our expectations. my kids were so happy we had the very best of the trip we visited tarangire national park, Serengeti, lake manyara and Ngorongoro reserve which were so much full of wildlife and the evolving masai cultural visit in olpopongi in Arusha the lodges we slept in were very nice and clean me and my kids shared a very nice family room at Serengeti Serena lodge which had the best views in the plains hamza our guide was a very experienced driver guide and had a lot of information about his country and was happy sharing every moment making the trip so much fun I definitely have to recommend the services of your company to anyone travelling here in east Africa and looking forward to coming back to track the gorillas in uganda.
Fantastic experience, unbeatable service, great lodges, excelled in every aspect
Having only seen the reviews on safaribookings of a company I had never heard of I was stunned by the speed of responses to any query by Mr Otienio, I felt as if I was really valued. I asked if a safari could be modified expecting an extra day at the start or end yet I was given possibilities for during the safari where we could make the most of our time. Once on safari we found we were spending more time on game drives than with previous companies in fact we doubled the time. Our driver Rewer (Stanley) was great, we could spend as little or as long time as we wanted with each animal or bird whilst he considered where to get the best photos from. He listened to what we wanted from our safari - spending time with good views of animals rather than a quick view to tick a box and moving on, so not waiting for hours next to a bush waiting for a sleeping leopard to come out when all you could see was the size of a postage stamp and instead viewing heards of topi and zebra. The quality of our lodges was excellent - Tsavo East Voi Wildlife lodge fantastic lodge and location with loads of elephants visiting the waterhole, Tsavo West Negulia Lodge - dated but fantastic views and plenty of elephants and evening leopard, Amboseli Kibo camp - fantastic tent full of character with great views of Kilimanjaro, Naivasha Elsamere - beautiful surroundings, Nakuru Sopa Lodge - stunning quality, Baringo Soi Safari lodge - dated with fantastic views and very helpful chef, Masai Mara Sekanani Camp - fantastic tent in very private surroundings. Every lodge and tent was excellent each with their own character although because of the amount of time spent on game drives we did not spend as much time in the lodges. Please be aware that some of the drives between lodges can be very lengthy but this allows you experience the most variety of animals and views. The journey between masai mara and nairobe can be particularly problematic as there can be frequent massive traffic jams at the rift valley escarpment which can entail a 2 hour detour to avoid. Overall I was thoroughly impressed with the standard of service and especially considering the excellent price exceeded all my expectations.

3-day gorilla trekking in Bwindi, Uganda
We had an amazing experience in Uganda. The trip from Entebbe to Bwindi was fascinating and informative, as our guide, David, explained about the sights and Ugandan culture, and answered our questions. Tracking the gorillas was an unforgettable experience and more than met our expectations, thanks to Grassrootz who provided us with an expert guide and comfortable accommodations. Highly recommended!

Very exhilarating experience with knowledgeable and positive guides.
Best to start early in the morning, which gives you the best chance of spotting the Lions and Cheetahs, if lucky on hunt. Great experience, would like to do it again.

Your partner for the safari in Tanzania
I used their services for a 3-day safari in Selous, with lodging at Wilderness Camp, which is a great lodge with wonderful people.
Everything went as scheduled. The car they used was a good old Land Cruiser which showed its age but turned up confortable (as it can be with a safari 4x4). What was agreed was delivered in exactly the terms agreed. The safari was nice, and the driver Simon was a very good and knowleadgeable driver who managed to get us in the most exciting zones of the reservation, even thou he is "a man of few words", to say the least. So we did not really had a guide, but that worked fine for us, no worries here.
So all in all, Grassroots is a partner in which you can trust, and their prices are amongst the chepest you'll find for what is delivered.
Highly recommended!

We used the Safari Specialist
Having been on only 1 safari previously,many years ago, we certainly needed professional help in choosing how to maximize our safari experience. That's where Jono and his team came to the rescue. Jono listened to what we were looking for and put together a tailor made itinerary for the four of us. We had seen many group tours for safari but that's not what we wanted. We eventually had an amazing experience of three destinations in Zambia. We found Jono and the entire team meticulous in their approach and detail. Jono's intimate knowledge of Africa meant that the destinations were exactly what we were hoping for. Lions, leopards, wild dogs, hippos, elephant, you name it we saw it. Also we had the amazing experience of a walking safari, where we encountered lions and canoe safari where we encountered hippos and crocodiles up close. The entire process including all documentation, internal flights, transfers etc went like clockwork. We will definitely be doing another safari with Encompass Africa.

Last minute trip with world class service
My original safari vendor backed out on my trip the morning of my flight to Kenya. Luckily I found Kennedy and African adventures and began quickly communicating on my way out the door. By the time I arrived my trip to Amboseli was sorted with and excellent guide, Jackson, and lodgings. Kennedy demonstrates world class professionalism, prompt communications and competitive pricing. His knowledge of when and where to go is exceptional. I recommend his services without reservation. He will ensure your trip is as smooth as possible from the time you leave the airport until your face to face with an elephant.
