2 day Pilanesburg Adventures - Luxury Safari
A brilliant trip, perfect length if you only have 2 days available, would have loved to stay for 2 nights if I'd had time.
Itu and Keith were both brilliant on the drive up and back (and through) the park.
Tshukudu Bush Lodge was beyond my expectations. Absolutely amazing and away from it all given its position inside of the national park. A very special 24 hours. Loved the boma on Saturday evening. The lunch on day 1 is served at 3 so I would say to pick up some snacks on the way.
The safaris were all great and lovely guide.

Fantastic trip, don't miss the opportunity.
Going on a safari was near the top of my bucket list, but even I can't believe how amazing it was. From beginning to end, from the booking process to the drop off at my hotel, it was absolutely incredible. Please don't pass up on this if you are in the area. The price was extremely reasonable and could not have asked for more from the staff and overall experience.

An spectacular country full of nature and great people
We were very well impressed with the country and its nature: we experienced the beauty of Kruger National Park as well as Cape Town and it’s surrounding areas full of great landscapes, awesome tours and tour guides and friendly people! The country is a must if you are considering visiting Africa.

Review about Kruger National Park by Arturo Mora
Kruger National Park is full of species (only in our second day of tour I counted at least 16 mammal species and many birds and other species). The landscapes are beautiful in particular in the South part of the Park and is very accesible to visit to everyone.

Our lives are changed because of this experience. Thank-you, Friends. We will be back!
Tanzania is an amazing country and a safari is an amazing adventure. And that's what my wife and I expected. But what we got from Ruth and her staff was on another level. It was not a "once in a lifetime" trip, because after taking it once, WE MUST GO BACK!! We discussed with Ruth what we wanted from our journey, and what we received exceeded all our expectations. Communications of the itinerary were excellent, and selections for accommodations were all top-notch and breathtaking. The value for the cost was amazing. I could easily spend greater cost in other parts of the world on other "bucket list" adventures and not get nearly the same enjoyment/amazement. I say this from experience, because this bucket list item exceeds all my others by such a huge margin, and in ways I never thought possible.
When we arrived in Tanzania and met our driver, Justine, at the airport, we immediately felt like we had just met a new family member. He was our driver, our guide, our good friend, and we can't wait to visit with him again some day.
We really loved spending our first day (to acclimate from the long flight) in Arusha, getting to see a bit of the local culture, enjoying some of Tanzania's gemstones, and seeing some local art (some of which moved me to my core - something I can say about only a precious few pieces of art). Even driving around town was fun to feel the energy of the people.
We spent some time in the Ngorongoro Crater, a few days in Serengeti Park, and were blown away by the splendor of wildlife, the biodiversity, the incredible expanse and many micro-environments within all of it. When is a good time to visit? Any time you can! There are really no words to describe how amazing this is. And nestled among these areas are some amazing archeological sites as well.
Our guide, Justine, was very knowledgeable and patient and was a great fit for us as we absorbed the splendor that was before us. He was incredible at spotting animals, and paid attention to the radio chatter that spoke of where certain harder-to-find species could be found. Just incredible.
We were able to spend time with a Masaai village during a ceremony - that was also among the most moving experiences of our lives, nestled among the beautiful hills of Endulen. We enjoyed doing something unusual - spending some time at a local school and bringing the kids some supplies and getting to see what some conditions are like in the schools during a classroom lesson. This was special for my wife, who is a school administrator in the US, but also special to me to see the joy in the kids. A bit unusual for an itinerary, but WildTouch made it happen for us, and we are so very grateful.
We spent a couple days in Zanzibar, enjoying the spice island and the architecture and street markets of Stone Town, as well as snorkeling with dolphins, exotic fruits on a sandbar in the Indian Ocean, and up-close encounters with Red Colobus monkeys. Not to be missed!
This trip did not just give us an amazing safari adventure, it gave us a love for Africa and Tanzania, the people, the places, the culture.
WildTouch Adventure is surely a National Treasure for Tanzania. I know others that felt their safari was an amazing 5-star adventure, and it was, but how did we get to enjoy something so much more than that?
We absolutely cannot wait to go back! And there is only one company that's going to manage that trip for us.

Personal service, terrific safari company!
Wonderful experience with Terrain Safaris Tanzania, its owner George Killas, and my guide Omar. I had only a couple of days at the end of a working trip to Dar Es Salaam and George organized a terrific private safari in Tarangire NP and Ngorongoro Crater - even though it was rain season (not that many safari cars around, which was a plus!) I saw many wonderful animals. I contacted about half a dozen companies and Terrain stood out because George replied to all my questions promptly and provided a lot of useful information. It's a smaller company and they make sure their clients are very well looked after -- on my last night in Arusha George even came by my accommodation to chat and make sure I was completely satisfied with the trip! Book with them, you won't regret it!

Great guide and great setup
Muza was a great guide who really cared about our wellbeing. The schedule was really good and we saw a lot of animals. The best was Chobe and the tour in the Okawongo delta. Double K was a really good guide in the delta. The lodges was also very good, especially in Victoria falls
All in all it was very a good trip. Highly recommended

Highly recommend this company!
This trip with Tanzania Safari Collection was one of the best adventures of our lives! Our guide (Jartan Laizer) and drivers were absolute professionals and kept us safe and informed every step of the way. They were able to answer all of our (many) questions and went out of their way to ensure that we had a fun and memorable experience. We loved learning about all of the animals and about the wonderful people of Tanzania! We saw all of the “Big Five” game and so many more amazing animals. Our guide Jartan and our drivers knew exactly where to go to provide us with the best safari experience possible. Thank you for this trip of a lifetime!

Awesome Kenyan experience with Phine !
We had the best ever experience with Phine Safaris. The guide Patrick was exceptional. Phil and Patrick made sure we had a memorable experience. I am eager to go back and would recommend Phine Safaris to anyone visiting Kenya as a group and for families.

Cliff is a calm, friendly and patient guide.
We had two tours with Cliff.
First one was
Spice farm,
Prison Island and
Stone Town
Second one was
Local fruit and vegetable market,
traditional village with mud houses,
local fish and furniture market.
Both time Cliff was on time, had a clean Bus with save driver, AC and water for us waiting at the gates.
Totally worth the money and time spend.
Cliff gives much information in German and English. He gives you time were you need it and knows his way around very well.
He bought some lokal snacks to let us try (fresh peanuts, grilled corn and delicious pine apple).
