The best tours with Francis and jungle roam
Joining Francis Faru on a Bushwalk Safari, especially during our seven-day safari, and especially during the unforgettable days we spent in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, was an absolutely incredible experience.
Francis is one of the best guides I've ever had—extensive knowledge, calm under pressure, and passionate about wildlife and Kenyan culture. He handled every challenge with complete professionalism and made the day flow smoothly with his easygoing demeanor.
We were thrilled to see five of the "Big Five" (elephants, rhinos, buffalo, leopards, and lions) in the Maasai Mara! The park itself is a hidden gem, especially during this season, when the scenery bursts with life. Herds of zebra and wildebeest graze leisurely on the plains, giraffes move gracefully through the trees, and hippos wallow happily in flooded pools.
After our game drive, Francis took us to a Maasai village, which was a truly eye-opening cultural experience. The Maasai hospitality, their traditions, and their songs and dances added such a profound experience to our trip. It was both humbling and unforgettable.
We then traveled to Lake Nakuru National Park, where we saw numerous rhinos and a variety of birdlife, including pink flamingos. Afterwards, we headed to Lake Naivasha for a boat trip. On day five, we took a beautiful hike to the beautiful Hullsgate, where we descended into a gorge and saw hot springs.
We drove to our final destination, Amboseli National Park. Francis explained that Amboseli is the Maasai name for "Salty and Dusty Land." While it's certainly dusty, it's also a beautiful place where we saw hundreds of elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background.
This safari was a perfect combination of adventure, nature, and culture, all thanks to Francis's expert guidance. Jonlerome Tours exceeded all expectations—we highly recommend them.

The Vans are comfortable and you get a few stops a long the way for food/bathroom/ leg stretching.
At one stop we got to see some rhinos, which was pretty awesome. We loved our whole trip with safari link

The place that brings your safari dreams to life!
Our safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was truly unforgettable thanks to our amazing guide, Gerald Kani. He always drove safely, explained everything with kindness, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable throughout the trip. Thanks to his sharp eyes, we were able to spot the Big Five and so many other incredible animals. We felt completely at ease and enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend Gerald and this company to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Exceeded Expectations!
Africa was on my travel "wishlist" but I never thought I would actually get there
That all changed when our son was home for a visit over Christmas. He announced that he and a friend were going to Africa. They had selected DISCOVER AFRICA to plan their trip. He shared all the details with us and we decided it was an adventure we had to experience as well.
Our son connected us with Vihann Van Wyk at Discover Africa, the same agent he was using. Vihann was a pleasure to work with.
He coordinated our trip with our son's and tweaked the details as requested. Communication was a breeze through both email and WhatsApp. Vihann made suggestions as well as accepted specific requests from us to build a custom itinerary. No detail was overlooked. Some accommodations were adjusted to keep us within budget without sacrificing our experience.
All drivers, tour guides, experiences & lodging did not disappoint. All internal flights were on Airlink .... better than some regional airlines in the USA.
The weather was perfect too!
Our itinerary included:
*CAPE TOWN - Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel....very nice property with an excellent breakfast and beautiful outdoor dining. Must sees were the full day Cape Tour, Wine Tour to Stellenbosch, Table Mountain and High Tea at the Cape Grace Hotel.
*KRUGER NTL PARK - Lion Sands Tinga Lodge....a dream experience! Excellent private bungalow, twice daily game drives, delicious food, and a wonderful massage and facial at the spa. The staff was outstanding.
*VICTORIA FALLS - Shongwe Lookout Lodge...a modest property that met all our needs and saved us some money. We experienced the Zambezi River sunset cruise, Victoria Falls ( incredible!! ) , lunch at the Lookout Cafe and a visit to the historic Victoria Falls hotel for lunch.
*JOHANNESBURG - Marriott African Pride Hotel in Melrose Arch ....an upscale area with lots of shopping and dining. The Soweto Tour was an experience not to be missed. We visited Nelson Mandela's office and home. The Apartheid Museum was sobering and moving.
Lastly, every where we went we met the nicest people....friendly and helpful.
Excellent adventure! An experience like no other!

Knowledge and Experience really matter!
Myself and my lifelong friend used Brilliant for our Safari excursion. Lucky us!! "Lightness" coordinated all necessary information and led us through a fantastic itinerary! Our tour guide was "Bony", an experienced and knowledgeable guide. He made sure we were comfortable and satisfied each day of our Safari, exploring Tarangire National Park and Seregeti NationalPark! His kindness and consideration was much appreciated and spending so much time together, a beautiful friendship developed. We got to see so many animals in their natural environment, The BIG 5, and the Wildebeests Migration, crossing the river ... safely. I am missing our "African Massage" riding through bumpy dirt pathways in Bony's reliable and comfortable Jeep to find the best places to see the animals!
I will always remember our Safari experience with fondness and admiration for the Natural world of Nature!
We ended our trip with a few days on Zanzibar Island Beach to relax and reminisce through the wonderful memories created with Brilliant Adventures and Safari and its highly qualified staff! Highly recommended!

Awesome Kilimanjaro Trekking
We completed the 7-day Machame trek with Zara Tanzania and had an experience that will remain with us forever. I realized they were the right company for us from the beginning because they responded to all questions in a timely manner. We met Lema and Musa at our hotel, where they briefed us on the trek and checked that we had all the necessary gear. We met the rest of the team early the next morning and they are the true definition of excellence. They were friendly and attentive throughout the entire trip. The views and overall experience were special. I have total appreciation for the entire Zara Tanzania Adventures team.

Unforgettable Serengeti Experience
Our safari with Tausi Trails Adventure was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived in Arusha to our final game drive in the Serengeti, everything was perfectly organized and handled with a level of care that exceeded our expectations.
What truly set this experience apart was the impeccable service and the personal touch Tausi Trails brings to their safaris. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, striking the perfect balance between adventure, comfort, and immersion in the wild.
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, with a deep understanding of wildlife behavior and the Serengeti ecosystem. Thanks to his sharp instincts and experience, he led us down a route where we witnessed something truly once-in-a-lifetime — a lioness giving birth right in front of us. It was a breathtaking and emotional moment we’ll never forget.
The staff were kind, professional, and detail-oriented, always making sure we felt comfortable and cared for. From the seamless logistics to the warm hospitality, every part of the trip reflected their passion and dedication.
If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, don’t look any further, Tausi Trails Adventure will deliver a truly unforgettable experience.
