We are 4 adults who made a Safari southern circuit in private for 13 days with Raja Tours Tanzania.
Communication with Rajabu Msangi was very easy. We had excellent service. The guides were always very punctual, attentive and ensured our safety. The proposed route was very interesting and well balance. We enjoyed the reserve and the 2 parks. Everything was very interesting.The lodges, the hotels and the tent camp were good choices. The meals were excellent, plentiful and varied. We had a wonderful trip. We are satisfied with the trip to Tanzania (southern circuit) and we will not hesitate to recommend Raja Tours Tanzania for a safari. Good value for money.

Nice tours in Nairobi and Amboseli
The tours were nice but our guide in Nairobi tour went to wrong address and when he called to us we have not idea where was our accommodation.
The logistics for Amboseli tour was better, the guide was nice and quiet, he shared his passions about the amazing birds in the park.

Great experience with Kiliholydays
Great experience. We had a 7 days safari program (camping in tent) including Tarangire, Serengheti, Ngorongoro, Hazahabe tribe and Manyara lake.
The proposed program fully met our expectations. In particular, we appreciated the two nights in Serengheti which gave us the opportunity of extensive game drives during sunrise and sunset times. Our driver (Thomas) was excellent: accurate and well-prepared driver with a lot of experience. He made us see many animals (all the big five plus many others), giving us interesting information (we learnt a lot) and being a funny mate during our breaks. Our chef (Innocent) was very professional and accurate with a lot of experience too. He cooked many delicious dishes, including African cuisine (something that we really appreciated) and he always kept an eye on our preferences. The head of the company (Mack) organized everything very well.
The camping in tent requires a little bit of spirit of adaptation but it is very rewarding in terms of nature experience, especially in such a beautiful country like Tanzania.

It was a great experience with two very nice guides.
We had a very nice and organized Safari Tour with BMS safaris. Everything went according to schedule. Our tour guides (cook = Jafari + driver = Kennedy) were very nice and sweet. The food was very good. We saw a lot of animals which was great (and apparently is not always the case so we were quite lucky). Our driver was very patient and stopped when we wanted to take a look at something or went back when we asked him to. All in all a very great experience and I can highly recommend this tour operator and the two tour guides!

We felt cared for and encouraged. The team catered for an unwell member as well as supporting us too
The whole team contributed to the realisation of our dream to reach Point Lenana on Mount Kenya. One member of our 10 person team had a chest infection and was struggling. The way the team responded to this was inspiring and all os our family team made it to the summit. That said, the guides are very experienced and put your safety first at all times. A particular bonus for me was the outstanding cuisine! I will never forget the sunrise over Point Lenana. Thank you James and the whole team!

An incredible adventure that was so much more than we could ever expected!
Elijah picked us up at the airport in Nairobi and from there we embarked on 6 days of the most amazing sights and sounds and delights.
We stayed in very comfortable lodgings and ate well, but the best thing was how busy Elijah kept us off touring around the countryside of Amboseli National Park and the Masai Mara. We got to view everything from cheetahs and an elusive leopard to the magnificent birds that Elijah is so good at spotting. I got much better at it with his guidance.
We saw elephants and giraffes and wildebeests and zebras and so much more that if it weren’t for all my terrific photos it would almost seem to have been a wonderful dream.
I would recommend to anyone that is considering a Kenyan safari to contact contact Gracieh at Kenya Turacos Safaris.

Surpassed all of my expectations!
Clear communication, quick responses, safety, quality of lodging, excellent food, and knowledgable staff allowed us to enjoy the beauty of Tanzania in a most comfortable and enjoyable way!! Thank you Earthlife, Caudence, who handled our arrangements, and thank you Kessi, you are now a good friend! There are many tour companies in Tanzania. I requested quotes and narrowed it down by quick response, clear itineraries, nice lodging, and price. The quick communication that we received from Earthlife, as well as their assurance that this was OUR vacation and that they would make any changes that we wanted, convinced us to go with them. They swapped out a park for us, added a tour that we wanted, switched the dates, shortened one part of our visit, added another traveler. All inquiries were quickly answered. We were never left waiting or wondering. We were able to email and talk via WhatsApp to the company. Once we arrived, we were picked up at the airport and we were taken care of for our entire trip! Our guide, Kessi, took his job very seriously. He assured us that whatever we needed or wanted, he was there for us. Kessi is so knowledgable about all of the animals and birds. He could spot things before we would ever see them with our binoculars. He shared lots about the history of Tanzania and taught us Swahili and even sang with us! We joked and laughed a lot on this trip! It replenished my soul! So much natural beauty and friendly people happy to share their culture with us. Kessi assisted us when we wanted to purchase souvenirs, so that we could visit places with good prices and he helped us so that we would not be too bothered by people trying to sell us things. He would give us the facts we needed to behave in culturally appropriate ways. In addition, Kessi is a very good driver. I always felt safe. The drivers have to really concentrate on some of the rough roads and he was very focused to assure a good ride. He made it clear that we could see some good things if we were patient to wait. We had some experiences where other vehicles left and we got a good show! In summary, this was a trip of a lifetime and I would absolutely, undoubtedly recommend Earthlife Expeditions!

Excellent service, very friendly staff, well-equipped vehicle for self-drive tour
We have rented a fully equipped Toyota Hilux for a self-drive tour of four weeks in Malawi. The staff of Land and Lake were very friendly and supportive. Especially when we suffered two flat tyres on 1 day: the superb service of Land and Lake ensured that we got to our scheduled destination with a taxi without hardly any delay and that our vehicle was repaired and delivered the next day at our destination. Would recommend anyone to chose for Land and Lake when travelling to Malawi!

Perfect!
We found Dusty Roads on the safaribooking, with good reviews and many safari options.
I have contacted them per epost and had long dialogue with Molel, who replied patiently to plenty of question, suggested and discussed accommodation and tours, payment methods (we wished to use credit card) and much more.
When we arrived to Kilimanjaro airport, there were our guide, Emanuel, waiting for us.
On day one we visited local coffee farm (with Tanzanian dinner) - great introduction to Tanzania.
Safari was unbelievable! It was really a dream tour!
We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
We have seen a lot of animals. Our guide was very good to spot wildlife and knew much of all species. He had books (in English) as well, showing us photos and description of animals and plants. We were very lucky to have him as a guide.
We have chosen luxurious accommodation (lodges / hotels) - locations suggested by Molel were even better than we expected.
