Great personalized service, excellent accomodation offered as well as smooth transport arrangements
I experienced great planning on short notice for my family trip to Tsavo East National Park. The service from transport, accomodation and meals were well arranged. The kids especially had a blast! Communication is excellent with emails and telephone calls. Tour was generally great! Looking forward to more trips in the future.

An amazing experience with a calm, knowledgable and professional guide.
We went on an amazing safari that far exceeded our expectations.
The safari was organised well and we stayed in hotels at fantastic locations with comfortable rooms and attentive and friendly staff. Our jeep was also very comfortable.
Our guide was Gerald who we can not recommend highly enough. He was calm, considered and professional, unlike other guides who are manic and constantly drive with one hand whilst talking on the phone! Gerald was extremely knowledgable about the wildlife, ecology and landscape of Kenya and we got the impression that he really cared about them too. We are particularly interested in birds and Gerald showed us as many different species as possible whilst still making sure that we didn’t miss any of the large mammals.
If I go on safari in Kenya again, I will definitely go with Features Africa and Gerald.

This was an incredible safari
Loved it. Very Professional. He was always at hand to answer questions and provide alternative service when we were outsourcing for a vehicle. He was always prompt friendly and gave vehicles in excellent conditions. We highly recommend Wildebeest Safaris.

Awful vehicle
After checking potential tours and their providers through the African Safari website, my husband and I recently booked a 3 night, 4 day safari tour to Selous and Mikumi with African Sunrise Travel. Their price was USD 980 (incl bank fee) per person +USD40 for the driver-guide, similar to other quotes we received.
Not everything was as described ( e.g., the Mpingo Lodge did not have WiFi), but the vehicle was a modified Landcruiser. However, we needed two vehicles: the first one was ancient (mid-eighties?) and a complete wreck. Rundown, inside and out. No thread on the tyres. Dangerous and not road worthy. It broke down within 15 minutes, and we had to wait for an hour before we were back on the road again with a replacement car.
The second vehicle was also very old but marginally better, at least the tyres were good. However: the air conditioner was not working, and therefore we were exposed to breathe in dust for most of the journey from Dar Es Salaam to Selous and from Selous to Mikumi (I am not referring to the game drives!). Our near new suitcases, other luggage items and ourselves were coated in a thick layer of dust. Nothing worked on the instrument panel. The odometer’s reading was stuck at 467000 km, no idea when that was. The seatbelts were only lap belts and therefore inadequate. There were no hand grips to hold onto.
In short: the tour was uncomfortable, unhealthy and unsafe.

My Heart is full with Happy World Safaris
My Son and I spent a week in the jungles and national parks in Tanzania. We saw all the Big 5 animals (including 1 of remaining rhinos in the country) and countless other animals. We slept in tented lodges, used "bush toliets," and solar panel for electricity. The animals were fun to see, but it comes as no surprise, meeting the local people was my favorite. We visited several tribes and played with the little children. My heart is full. It was an amazing time to spent with my wonderful son.
Joseph the Owner of Happy World Safaris was so special in making our trip a remarkable one, replying all our emails, the information offered was precise and very resourceful for our trip. Joseph who was our guide on safari too, was very Professional, Knowledgeable on Wildlife, Culture, Landscape and many other, He real took good care of us and with very good communication skills with the Local People. We had Johnson whom was a wonderful Driver driving us through tough roads, well familiar with the park, humble person and very knowledgeable. Every time traveling with my family on any country we prefer to eat on an America Big Restaurant and Joseph took us to Pizza Hut Arusha where we had a chance to meet Joseph's Wife and Johnson"s Wife, we had another interesting moment before flying out back to USA.
Joseph and Happy World Safaris I rank them the best (5 Star) and I highly recommend them to all who are planning a travel to Tanzania.

nice tour
Maryo tours Highly Rated
Our time in Tanzania was great and our guide Innocent i and the rest of the crew were amazing during our climb. The food was wonderful a and abundant and the crew made us feel really important. Their interaction with us made the trip more interesting and we couldn't have succeeded without their help.
Larry the waiter was great about teaching us Swahili and Danny our lead porter took great care with set up each day. I am still amazed at the way this group of men took such good care of us. They even sang to us on our last night as a celebration of our making it to the top, it was so fun at a time when we were totally exhausted.

Wonderful birding trip,including mammals exciting playing in the wild
It's a wonderful birding trip,21-day. Thanks lot to Joseph,our birding guide.We've got more than 480 bird species and more than 50 mammals,6 reptiles. We espcially had deep impression about various behaviors from Lions,Cheetals and Leopards. Joseph is very sensitive with the bird's sound. He is a very professional birding guide in Kenya and familiar with the birds site.
Joseph and his colleges, the drivers, Antony and David, give us kindly service. The arrangements are very good,I especially like the arrangements in Rondo Retreat and Massi Mara.
Wish we could have chance back to Kenya! Best wishes to you all!
