This was my first safari and I had a great time. I liked the ride and all the explanations from the guide. He was able to spot the animals and give some fun facts about them. We saw almost all the big five (missing only the leopard) and many others.

About: 261 Exp
An Outstanding Company
5/5

261EXP is a first-rate tour company offering customizable trips in Madagascar. After doing some reading and deciding where I wanted to go, I searched the internet for companies offering tours to those places, mostly national parks where I hoped to see lemurs and other wildlife for which Madagascar is known. I received a prompt response from 261EXP, and discovered that all their tours listed online are customizable, available as individual tours with a personal driver/guide.

Over the next two weeks, I worked with Christina Thomas via email to add two days to their Vezo Experience tour, so that I could visit Andasibe, as well as national parks along the Vezo Experience route from Antananarivo to the southwest coast. Arrangements included all my airport transfers, accommodations, daily breakfast, local guides and spotters, and the domestic flight back to the capital at the end of the trip. When I arrived, I was ever so happy not to be driving myself, or packed into crowded public buses!

My assigned driver, one of the company’s founders, has 17 years experience as a professional driver/guide. His driving skills were truly impressive, as he avoided potholes, straddled missing pavement, dodged errant pedestrians, animals, rickshaws, bicycles, and other hazards on the roadside, and managed to squeeze past hundreds of cargo trucks on the narrow roads. At one point I asked how he managed to memorize every pothole between Tana and Toliara. He just smiled and said it was ESP.

Apparently 261EXP has very good relations with others in the travel industry of Madagascar, because they provided excellent local guides and spotters for hikes in national parks, very comfortable accommodations in hotels with scenic locations, excellent restaurants, and courteous staff.

Overall, I had an exceptionally enjoyable and truly unforgettable experience in Madagascar, mostly as a result of finding 261EXP to organize the trip for me. I highly recommend this company to arrange a tour for you!

5/5

our safari to queen Elizabeth was lovely and unforgettable, we started with a relaxing evening by the campfire and set out early the next day for an credible game drive. we were excited and lucky to see lion, leopard and huge buffalos,
late in the evening that day we had a boat cruise in a water channel known as kazinga. this was filled with plenty of animals and birds to watch. our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, the car was so smooth abs comfortable, organic food was plenty for us to enjoy.

This trip was well- organized thanks to one Pius i guess was one of the tour guides. he created lasting memories for me and my son. even our value for money every penny counted, highly recommend wild breeze safaris.

Best experience ever!!!
5/5

Passionate Guides Tanzania is not just a company that you should do a safari with. It is the reason why you should come to Tanzania and do a safari! It was the best experiense ever! Michael, our guide, was the greatest driver we could ever have! He made his best so that we see every possible animal in the parks we visited, he organised everything, he answered every single question we had, he made us laugh and we felt safety with him from the first minute. Beatus, the owner, is a great guy too. He came to meet us personally and made us feel like we are at our home. And ofcourse all the communication we had when organising our trip was perfect! We came as clients but we leave as friends! Thank you guys for everything!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Laura & Marc
Overall rating
4/5

Tarangire surprised us with its beauty and charm. The abundance of baobab trees and the large elephant herds made it stand out. We particularly enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the park, as it felt less crowded compared to others. Simon ensured we had excellent sightings of giraffes, birds, and even a few lions. It was the perfect end to our safari adventure.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Laura & Marc
Overall rating
5/5

The Serengeti was an absolute highlight of our trip. The vast plains, teeming with wildlife, left us in awe. We were fortunate to witness the Great Migration, which was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The diversity of animals, including lions, elephants, and countless antelopes, was incredible. Our guide Simon always found the perfect spots for viewing, making the experience even more unforgettable.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Laura & Marc
Overall rating
5/5

The Ngorongoro Crater felt like stepping into another world. The stunning scenery, combined with the high density of wildlife within the crater, made this stop truly special. We loved spotting rhinos, a rare sight on safari, as well as large herds of zebras and wildebeests. The crater's unique ecosystem was fascinating, and Simon’s knowledge added so much depth to our visit.

5/5

The tour was excellent! It was everything I was expecting and more! The location selected was aiming best value for money and the booking experience as well as the support throught the journey was everything a traveller would need / expect. The sales and support team were always present and very helpful. They never let us alone and always reassure us with anything we were asking.

The Raddison location was a dream and the Safari organization was perfect! Evening safari / all day safari and morning safari was really a dream!
I personally recommend the early morning safari.

Also the transfer from JHB to Kruger Park was very good as the drivers were very helpful in picking us up from our location by the airport! Many stops for snaks and toilettes were much appreciated.

Incredible safari experience from Zanzibar to Tanzania
Overall rating
5/5

We had an incredible honeymoon safari experience in Tanzania! Despite the short rainy season at the end of November, we had almost only sunshine and just a few rain showers. A special highlight was our driver Simon, whose expertise and kindness made the journey unforgettable. Throughout the journey, we always felt safe in the vehicle. Additionally, Rehema, our contact person before and during the trip, provided outstanding support and ensured everything ran smoothly. The accommodations were perfectly chosen and offering great comfort. We also want to mention the freshly prepared lunches during our breaks – a wonderful touch compared to the typical packed lunches offered by other providers. Highly recommended!

Dream safari with an exceptional experienced guide
5/5

We had an incredible tour of Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area with an equally incredible and experienced tour guide in Wilson. I can not recommend it highly enough as it stands to be our best ever trip. Not only did we get to see every animal imaginable, we saw breath taking scenery, and learned a lot about the parks, Tanzania, and more from our excellent guide, Wilson. He knows the parks like the back of this hand and he can seemingly spot an animal many miles away in the corner of his eye. United Expeditions themselves were a dream to work with, from start to finish. If you were like me and found it odd that the reviews were too good to be true, that's because the level of service and attention to detail is truly exceptional. Every step of the journey, from planning to the final farewell, exceeded our expectations. Wilson’s passion (a true Tanzanian) for the wildlife and his deep knowledge of the ecosystems made every moment of the trip unforgettable.

We felt safe, well-cared-for, and completely immersed in the beauty of Tanzania (literally where it all began).

If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, United Expeditions and Wilson will make it the trip of a lifetime. Don’t hesitate—book with confidence and prepare to be amazed! Again my only incentive to write this to do give credit where it is duly deserved.
