Arre Tours is a considerate adventurous guide who takes great photos!
Gheralta with Arre Tours was special!!
I went to the lifelong dreamed of destination of Tigray in January, 2026. During my trip I went from beautiful Axum to the famous church in the Sky, Abuna Yemata. Our transportation was smooth, and the (many) pictures taken were fantastic. I was treated with respect and had a great time.
For sure would book with Arre Tours again!

Epic Adventure with Goldfinch!
Like all the reviewers before me, I have been very impressed with Goldfinch. I travelled solo in August having booked in February with a deposit. I had the pleasure of Kelvin who helped me plan the best possible itinerary. This included Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Central & Northern Serengeti and foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro. I flew back from Kogatende airstrip to make the most of the 6 days that I had. I had a wonderful guide called Nuru who enabled me to see so much wildlife up close and personal including Lions and Cheetah! I got to see the great migration of Wilderbeast and Zebra make the dangerous crossing across the Mara river. I felt very lucky to have a very knowledgeable and easy going guide whose 20/20 vision was impressive!
The accommodation organised for the trip was wonderful especially the Serengeti Classic View Camp and waking up to see a herd of elephants pass 200 metres from the front of my tent! The local people I met were fantastic and I loved the culture and relaxed way of life. I had the pleasure of Joel as my guide on the last day who was very helpful and kind. Special thanks to Kelvin who organised my trip and was very efficient and fast at responding to emails. I got to meet him on my first and last day which I was very impressed with. The team at Goldfinch offers a seamless and exceptionally high level of customer service at competitive pricing. Thank You, Bernadette

Incredibly kind and learned is all there was to learn about the beautiful surroundings.
This trip is definitely worth your money. We had a great time with Mansoor and Bakari!! They were very kind and we saw everything we wanted and more. All in all it was a time to never forget and I don’t have anything bad to say. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, land and the culture of the people.
Tapestry of Africa was the perfect choice for our family safari (2 adults and 2 teens). A trip like this succeeds because of the detailed planning done beforehand and the professional staff who carry out the itinerary. Every aspect of our trip was taken care of correctly so our experience unfolded without a hitch. Simply put- it was a carefully curated and perfectly orchestrated experience led by professionals. The safari experience as a whole well exceeded our expectations. The introduction zoom call and subsequent itinerary planning with Matt Jensen was very helpful. The itinerary he crafted included each aspect of the experience we requested. He built out the trip including additional parks/ experiences and proposed a fantastic itinerary within our budget and time constraints. The communication and logistics planning was excellent from Hilda and Albert. They were very prompt in their responses and clear/ concise with instructions. The suggested packing list was very helpful. Our reserved camps/lodges at the mid luxury level were well chosen for location and amenities. Generally they were all excellent with very friendly and attentive staff. Our Nairobi city tour guide Elisabeth was lovely, very well spoken and friendly. She took us on an excursion to visit the Giraffe Center and the Kobe Tough ceramic bead workshop. Highly Recommend!
Our Kenyan safari guide, Vincent, was incredible. As a Maasai, he had deep knowledge of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, including its animals and their behavior as well as the geography and the culture of its people. He was punctual, conversational and energetic each day we spent with him. He clearly considered our safety while driving and guiding us through Kenya (Hells Gate, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru National Park and the Maasai Mara National Reserve) showing us the big five and many additional animals. Vincent was a professional guide from the start to the Tanzanian border where he introduced us to our Tanzanian Guide, Tony.
Tony was fantastic. He led us through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire Park. Tony was very passionate about animal behavior and the land they inhibit. Before starting our safari with him, he described the three core gears/ drivers of animal behavior and how they are integral to the life cycle and the land they inhabit. This explanation was profound and shifted our perspective and therefore our experience. Each animal encounter we had with him was supported by a breath knowledge from small rare birds to the big five. He took care while driving making sure we were safe and comfortable during each game drive. We were fortunate to have a very special experience with Tony viewing the Great Migration at the Mara River. Tony was incredibly knowledgeable about the crossing, explaining this Natural Wonder of the World in detail.
Our trip included a SCUBA dive experience in Zanzibar booked through Tapestry of Africa. Our resort Breezes was a lovely 4-5 star experience. We appreciated Matt Jensen booking us at the only resort on Zanzibar with a PADI dive shop on site, per our request. This shop was very knowledgeable and professional.
This was an experience our family will remember forever. The seamless planning by Tapestry of Africa made for a very relaxing and effortless vacation. We highly recommend Matt Jensen and Tapestry of Africa.

Exceeds expectations
Booked a mid range safari, six days among Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara. We found very good organization, not luxury (we didn't look for that) but confortable accomodations in spectatular environments. Guide Khalifa was great, showed knowledge of parks and animals, their behaviours and well prepared us about what to expect during a game drive. We were never disappointed. We've seen all big fives ++; leopard just once, quite hidden, lions 15 times! Rhino only in Serengeti. Wild beast migration is a must, no way the best wonder of nature you would get in touch. Manyara has no sense for me to visit, since the lake overflowed, very sad place; for us was on the way to the airport, but I would not reccomend it.
We didn't go to Masai village, too much "show" for us. I would suggest LKA to think about some visit in real local environment, such as school or farm, to get in touch with real life, that would have been interesting.

Unilateral cancellation, vehicle breakdowns, zero balance on refund account, police case opened
We booked a 2-week safari to Kenya and Tanzania with Inspired Budget Safaris and paid over 12,000 USD via Wise and PesaPal. The agency unilaterally cancelled the second part of our trip (Tanzania) and brought us back to Nairobi. They repeatedly promised a refund in writing. However, the payment platform PesaPal officially confirmed to us in writing that the agency has no money in their commercial account. The banking transfer references provided to us did not result in any funds arriving. Before our departure, we officially filed a complaint at the Police Station. Additionally, the Kenya Association of Tour Operators (KATO) officially confirmed to us in writing that this agency is not a member of their association, despite the information displayed. We are sharing this based entirely on our personal experience and official documents.
The first week in Kenya was problematic. The safari vehicle broke down almost every day due to poor maintenance, putting our safety at risk.
The agency changed our booked hotels without our consent.
They tried to compensate for these inconveniences with a 30 USD boat ride.
Furthermore, we discovered that the price they charged us was double compared to what other agencies charged our fellow travelers for the exact same activities and itinerary. For example: Masai Village visit for us 20USD/pp for other was 10USD; balloon safari for us 500USD/pp for others 425USD
I'm very disappointed with the way they worked with us and how they handled the situation. Every day they told us they were changing our car, even though they had no intention of doing so.

Unforgettable safaris, exceptional service!
One of the best agencies I’ve ever booked with! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They take care of every little detail, which makes such a difference when you’re travelling. Everything was perfectly organised, and you always feel like someone is looking after you.
The guides are amazing and really know the destination. They took us to some of the best spots and made every experience even more special with their knowledge and recommendations.
And Amina deserves a special mention. She is absolutely incredible, always checking that everything is going well, always available when you need her, and paying attention to every little detail throughout the trip.
You can tell that they genuinely care about their clients and want you to have the best possible experience. Couldn’t recommend them enough! ❤️

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with SafariGOATS
Our family had an absolutely incredible experience with SafariGOATS, and we couldn’t be happier with every aspect of our Tanzania safari.
From the moment we first reached out, Edna was fantastic. She was responsive, thoughtful, and meticulous in planning our itinerary, making sure every detail was just right. Her recommendations were excellent, and everything throughout the trip was perfectly organized, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the adventure.
Our guide and driver, Eddie, was truly exceptional. He quickly made us feel like more than just guests, we felt like we were traveling with a friend. His knowledge of Tanzania’s wildlife, landscapes, and culture was outstanding, and his passion for what he does was evident every single day. He had an incredible ability to spot animals, always found the best viewing locations, and made every game drive exciting and memorable.
Beyond his expertise, Eddie’s kindness, professionalism, and great sense of humor made the trip even more special. He genuinely cared about making our experience unforgettable, and thanks to him, it exceeded every expectation we had.
If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, we wholeheartedly recommend SafariGOATS. With Edna organizing the trip and Eddie guiding us through the Serengeti and beyond, we experienced an adventure our family will never forget. An easy five stars, we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.

Perfect!
We have just got back from our Safari with Raja Tours and it was such a wonderful, memorable and fun experience. We would highly recommend this company. We started in Kenya with our guide Robert showing us the Masai Mara. Robert was so warm and kind and easy to get along with. He was also so knowledgeable both in terms of animals and where best to go for sightings. Then we went across to Tanzania. Our guide here was Ramaa and he was also so lovely, friendly and very knowledgeable too. Both listened to us and tailored our drives to what we actually wanted to see and we saw everything by the end! We feel that they both made the trip even more special and we thoroughly enjoyed every day of our Safari. Both guides also gave us some excellent recommendations for activities. The communication was always good. We loved all of the different places we stayed too. The sites, service, location, food etc were all great. If we ever go back we will be booking with Raja Tours again! And recommending to family and friends!
