Memorable safari vacation which exceeded my expectations
The trip With Zepisa African Safaris has far exceeded my expectations! Our first stop to Tarangire was spectacular. Right away we saw elephants, giraffe, gazelles and more. Next was our time in the Serengeti, amazing viewing from our jeep. Our tour guide Gilbert was the Best! He was sure to find us sightings of the elusive Leopard. We saw many Lions, elephants, wildebeests, hyenas. Gilbert was determined to find us the rare Rhinoceros. We spotted 2 Rhinos mating in the distance.
Thank you Zepisa African Safaris for an amazing and memorable trip!

Memorable safari
We had a memorable experience on our Tanzanian safari organised by Suricata. Had a bit of a mix-up for the first briefing but it was sorted quickly. Patrick, our guide was excellent- very knowledgeable and familiar with the local parks & terrain. He went out of his way to ensure we maximised game time during the safari. Accommodation and meals provided were comfortable and plentiful. All in all a great trip.

Amazing
Thanks to Mary for the excellent organization. We explored many options from different companies, but she suggested a tour that was the best. She answered all our questions quickly before the safari. Everything was exactly as described in the program. Special thanks to our driver and guide. He narrated a lot of interesting things about animals and their behavior, and also chose the best places for filming, having best view and perfect stopovers. He was very professional and fulfilled all our requests. Would always recommend Safari Zest Tours as they’re the best in planning your safari request!!!

Friendly, locally based organisation with great experience
My friends and I used Kilisa Tours to successfully climb Mt Kilimanjaro. They were friendly and helpful from start to finish, using experienced local guides and giving work to the people of their community:
This trip was a long time in the making and Naick/Kilisa Tours helped us to achieve this every step of the way. Kilisa seemed to be the most reasonably priced when we searched around but when we finally got onto the trek, we realised just how good the value was for our money. We had a team of 15 locals from the Kilimanjaro Region with us, including two experienced guides, Nickson and Livingstone. With their help we, as inexperienced but reasonably fit hikers, were able to reach the summit.
The team could not have been more supportive. In the long buildup, Naick was very patient and helpful in emails and whatsapp messaging, allowing us the time and knowledge that we needed to organise our trip. We got a thorough briefing and help preparing our trekking gear/clothes, at the hotel, on the night before the trek. Each evening we had a briefing about the following day, before getting a wake up call in the morning from our attentive host, Zakayo - who accompanied us to the summit on the final day and will make for a great future guide. We were treated to fresh ginger tea daily, as well as other hot drinks and soup to keep warm and big portioned meals/snacks for energy.
The porters in the team have great strength and heart. After we had stocked our smaller bags with the day's essentials, they would pack up the camp, including our remaining larger bags and move the whole camp to our next location - overtaking us on the way! At this point, as others have mentioned, paying for a private toilet for your group/self, to have as part of your camps, is well worth the money from the start.
Our guides were more than mere pace setters, pointing the way forward, they were knowledgeable about the local region, flora and forna. They have vast experience of climbing Kilimanjaro from all the various routes. Also, importantly, they were very humble, friendly, supportive, just generally good humoured company, as well as making for decent photographers for our small group!
The trek itself is manageable, as the guides will tell you, it is more of a mental test and taking things "pole pole" - slow and steady will get you to the top, while allowing you to enjoy the journey and some breathtaking views along the way!
Finally to emphasise again, this is a locally based company with local employees. They provided our small group of three with a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable experience. I hope that spreading the word with this review, will go some way to repaying them for their hospitality and the fantastic memories which they have given to us.

Very well organized
We went with a friend and everything was great! Well organized. Spectacular views. It's a shame that there weren't too many animals in Gorongoro. I recommend the balloon ride (northern Serengeti).
