Wonderful four park, six day safari, big 5 and so much more
We just returned from a great safari/family reunion in Tanzania. Using two vehicles Afrishare took us to Tarangire, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, staying in great lodging along the way. Our experienced guides/drivers Fred and Hadji managed to put us in front of an amazing variety of animals, including the big 5, and safely transport us from park to park. They were very knowledgeable about the wildlife, the parks, and the country in general. The entire family had an awesome experience.

Great trip with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!
We have no reservations in recommending Tanzania Roadside Expeditions (TRE). Paul put together a safari itinerary based on our schedules and flight times, and the mix of national parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Arusha) reflected the wide range of ecosystems that Tanzania has. The actual itinerary matched what was customised/described to us over email communications.
Our guide, Ole, is very knowledgeable about wildlife, and is passionate about conservation. He was responsible in the way he conducted the safari (e.g. not feeding wild animals, or going off-road from designated driveways in the national parks – which we saw some other groups do), and we were taken good care of over the six days that we were with him. We got to see fascinating wildlife at a close distance (including lions, elephants, hippos etc.) and also learnt a lot about Tanzanian history and culture from Ole.
The choice of lodges / tented camps was excellent, and we enjoyed our stays in locations with very friendly and professional staff. This was a memorable trip for us and as first-time safari travelers, we are glad that we went with TRE.

Wonderful Safari Experience with Benson and team
At first when planning for the Safari, I was at a loss as to which guide or tour agent to go to as there were so many. I emailed a few and Benson responded almost immediately. We spoke on the phone as I needed to explain our special needs on the tour, he was very professional and accommodating at the same time. So I decided to book my tour with Benson.
Zablon, our very polite and patient driver picked us up at the Kilimanjaro Airport.
Benson met us at the hotel before and after the tour. He is really a hands on tour operator.
Our private guide on the Safari was Paul. He was a fantastic driver who was always alert and skillful on the roads even after a long tiring day. We managed to see the wildebeest migration across the Mara River, thanks to Paul, who was driving relentlessly to all the different locations where the crossing might take place before we finally found the right spot. The migration was definitely an amazing sight and we were very lucky to have witnessed it because chances of river crossings were quite slim in July.
A big thank you to all at the Mbugani Tented Camp, the staff, other guides, Benson and Paul for putting together a surprise birthday party for me.
This has been a truly unforgettable experience and one I will cherish for a long, long time.

Great experience with Tanzania Specialist, recommended for everyone!
We really enjoyed our trip through Tanzania. Everything was arranged by Tanzania Specialist down to the last detail. They really tailor the journey, so that it fits within your budget. We had 4 safari days where we have seen 3 different parks: Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Genuine recommendations. We have seen almost all animals that you could wish for! Even leopards! We have seen how an elephant drove a group of lionesses right in front of our noses. In addition, we slept in a tent camp in the middle of the Serengeti with the sounds of hyenas and lions at night, what an experience! Then we flew to Zanzibar to relax for a few days. In Zanzibar a surprise awaited me, my friend (now fiancé) asked me to marry me! He did this with the help of Tanzania Specialist. Thank you very much for that, you helped to make this experience unforgettable!
We are very positive about Tanzania Specialist. During the entire trip Tanzania Specialist is ready for you, that gives you peace of mind and then you can really enjoy everything. No worries about transport, food, paper, etc. Everything is arranged down to the last detail, really great! A must for everyone!

A weekend trip to the rift valley courtesy of Mara Triangle Safaris
It was late January 2018 when my friend and i reached out to Mara triangle safaris for the facilitation of a 3 day weekend trip to the rift valley which entailed a night in naivasha and a night in nakuru. Mara triangle safaris then worked with the dates we offered them which was from Friday 2nd August 2018 to 4th August 2018.
We thank the Mara triangle safaris fraternity since they booked for us best hotels which ended up to cost less than even what we budgeted for. The company catered for us very affordable transport with a Land Cruiser tour van and the first night in Naivasha country club hotel where in naivasha we toured several places and later on left for nakuru national park and a night in the flamingo resort Nakuru. We look forward to again contact mara triangle for our next trip soon. Good work Mara triangle keep up

Aramati Safaris made it possible
I have been bringing college students to East Africa for a number of years and I always book through Aramiti. When teaching 25 students at multiple sites around Kenya I need reliability and consistency. The staff at Aramati are knowledgeable, capable and extremely friendly. They work hard to understand the goals of our trip and the aim of the course. They then become partners. They ensure safety, timely coordination and work to create affordable bookings. I have been overwhelmingly satisfied with my experience and can’t imagine using anyone else.

Professional company - Friendly guide - Great safari!
This year in July my friend and I visited Kenya and went for a 4 day safari in Tsavo/Amboseli. We chose a private tour by Africa Celebrity. We are very satisfied with our choice. From the start, the communication with Muli is really good. He responds very quickly and was willing to help us with some practical things like booking a train and gave us advice about public transport.
The car provided was comfortable. Our guide Nash was fantastic. He was very friendly, calm and has respect for the nature. He was always on time and was able to tell us a lot about the scenery / the animals. He was driving very safe. The best thing about Nash is that he listens to his clients. We also had a lot of fun with Nash. He told us also more about the way people life etc.
Overall the safari was great. We absolutely recommend to book your safari with Africa Celebrity Tours!

8d/7n Safari Arusha, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengti, Ngorongoro
We did an 8-Day Safari tour with Meru Slopes. The communication with Geofrey was really good, the answers came really quick and everything was excellent organised. We got a pick up from the Kilimanjaro airport late in the night and had our first two nights for included in the owners hotel.
Our safari was guided by Simon and our cook Halidi (I hope i wrote it right :D) in a Toyota Landcruiser for four people (+ staff). The first two days we got our very own private safari, the 3rd day another guy joined is. So we were a really smal group, which is really good to experience the Nationalparks on our own ways and wishes.
Simon was just awesome. He had a lot of knowledge about all the parks, the animals and always knew the best places to catch some animals we were looking for. He always had some little stories to tell about any place, animal or former tours. We had a a lot of fun with him and you could really see that he loves his job. He promised us to give all his best to satisfy us - and as we could see really fast, it wasn't just a platitude. He really did everything he could do and much more in order to give us the possibility to be able to see some cheetahs and leopards.
Breakfast, lunch (oftens lunchbox since ad midday you are in the middle of the safari) and dinner was really good and diversified considering the possibilities the cook had on a safari.
The sleep over in a tent in the middle of the serengti nationalpark was an adventure for itself. We had giraffs, buffalos, elefants and even hyenas around us.
Especially if your guide’s name is Simon you can be fortunate and looking forwards to a lifetime adventure you will never forget.
We highly recommend everyone, who consider to make a safari in Tanzania, to book it at Meru Slopes. You won't be disappointed.

Excellant service on activities
In July 2018, my wife and I spent time at Victoria falls and we used Zambezi Expeditions for our tours including cruise on the Zambezi, guided tour of the fall on Zimbabwe side and a day trip to Livingstone in Zambia. Our guide Simon Munengwa, was great, very professional, nothing was too much hassle, the tours were exactly as we wanted to make a great visit to the falls, and I would recommend this company as they were cheaper that the one located in the hotel lobby.
