Fun, brilliant, professional, respectful of animals and nature
Having Raphael as our safari guide was a true blessing! I felt completely safe in his hands throughout our trip —he is so experienced and knowledgeable that other safari guides would stop to ask him for advice on our drives. Not only that, he was funny, engaged with everyone in our group and looked out for each one of us with the utmost care.
As a vegan, I was concerned about food options, but Raphael provided me with amazing vegan picnic options to eat while out on safari. I was also concerned about disturbing the animals while we observed them in their habitat, but Raphael made me feel at ease because he was respectful of the animal’s space and we never disturbed their peace. I got amazing pictures and an unforgettable experience. You must book your safari with Mawe African Adventures.

Best experience of my life
Tanzania is the place. For many years I dreamed about a Safari in Serengeti and finally I had the opportunity to do it. Best experience in my life so far, the expectations were high and it went better than that. I traveled alone and I always felt safe and all the people were kind to me. I did the 5 day Safari at Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It's magical, you should see by yourself, if you respect the nature, nature will give good memories to you.
Special thanks to Barthoo, I booked the safari with him and he answered all my questions and take care of transportation from the airport etc.
Simon was the best guide ever, he is the genuine kind of guy, with a big sense of humour and technically very strong at driving and explain to you all your doubts even when you think you have crazy questions.
About the food? don't bother, just ask for chef Ndula to be your cooker and you will have the best meals in the middle of the Tanzania savana.

Amazing Experience!
Everything was amazing.
Safari - I was expecting more wildlife for 4 days. Hope to have a new opportunity to do a safari in another country to compare it.
Landscapes/beach - amazing. Good weather, views, water temperature and visibility.
People - very friendly. Negotiate on markets, not agressive on selling. Never felt insecure and everyone likes to talk with you (very curious).

Great experience. We used Beacon Safari tour operator. Excellent arrangement.
Tour operator did the arrangements well. The guide was superb. We were to spot Big 9s. Leopard with a kill on tree top. The hotels were classic.

Indescribably beautiful
The country is beautiful, the people are friendly, approachable, open, funny and always in a good mood.
The safari with NganiSafari was an unforgettable experience for me. I hit the jackpot with my driver, David. He always knows where and how best to master what. He knows the places where the BIG 5 hang out and knows great corners.

Easy Way To Get Out Of The City And See The Big 5
I live in Johannesburg and was hosting family members from the United States. After several days taking in the sites in and around the city, we wanted to get out of town to see some wildlife. We booked an all-day game drive in Pilanesberg with transportation to and from our residence. This was my first time visiting Pilanesberg, and I was not sure what to expect. We saw almost all of the Big 5 -- lion, rhinoceros, elephant, and even a leopard! However, we did not see a Cape buffalo. Impressively, we did get to see some interaction between elephants and lions when the elephants chased the lions away from a shady area.
The game drive vehicle was one of the largest I've seen, sitting at least 20. That wasn't ideal, but we sat in the front so we could hear the very-knowledgeable driver and it didn't feel like we were crammed onto an amusement park safari ride. During the lunch break, giraffes and other wildlife (mostly birds) visited the restaurant located inside the reserve. The restaurant itself had a nice selection of food -- even given the fact we had the limited menu created specifically for the game drive guests. The establishment was totally full, so the service was a bit slow.
Norman Muchacheni with Nhlalala Travel Agency provided transportation to and from the reserve. He was friendly and knowledgeable about the area and sites we passed. He arrived promptly for pick up and provided refreshments for the ride. Plus, the van was very clean. It was overall a great day and game drive experience.

Magnificent!
Only until I set foot on this place I understand why people say you will be obsessed with it. It was truly an experience that you’ll remember for the lifetime. I really enjoyed seeing the lions and cheetahs as they are such beautiful creatures and of course as well as the others. The scenery is so so different from other places in the world as here you feel that what the planet should be. Hope all these beautiful animals can live forever without their territories being invaded and destroyed. Thank you Marurumi Safaris and our guide peter brought us this magnificent trip!!

Tour operator was first class
We had a wonderful experience with Primate Safaris. Our original itinerary did not really suit us when we got there so Andrew and Michael reworked the whole plan until we came up with a compromise that suited all of us. Both guys were fantastic. They were knowledgeable, cheerful and extremely accommodating to all our whims every single day of the tour. In fact, all four of us in our party agreed that they really made the tour for us. Primate Safaris admin too, was really on the ball when it came to communication. Regan never delayed with his responses to our inquiries in the initial stages of setting everything up. I would highly recommend Primate Safaris to anyone considering the Gorilla Trek in Uganda. We felt safe and well taken care of the entire time of our eleven day tour.
