Professional attitude with great service
From the first contact with Vanessa at Spirit of Kenya to the last day of this amazing trip..all I can say is one word “excellent”. Vanessa responded to all my queries promptly and professionally. Nothing was too much with the changes and always made me feel at ease. All the tours and service were organised with no glitches. Our tour guide George was great and worked the tour around what we wanted. I would highly recommend contacting Spirit of Kenya to organise your safari trip!

Awesome safari
My friend and I went on a 4 day safari to three different parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We were already in Tanzania when we booked the safari and the data was very flexibel. It was very easy to communicate with Allan if we had any questions. The 4 days of safari was an awesome experience. We had a really nice driver who drove us to all the beautiful places and made sure we always had the perfect spot to see the animals. The food was also very delicious and the cook made sure we were not short of anything. I would highly recommend booking a safari via Somewhere in Africa!

Fulfills every wish
GOSHENI organized our amazing 10 day safari through Tanzania's most famous national parks from end to end.
Starting from planning the trip to actually doing the safari, everything was perfectly organized. Gosheni showed us various itineraries and options for accomondations and we could pick and choose anything based on our personal preferences. William, our driver and guide, was amazing with all his experience he managed to show us nearly everything we wanted to see and with him as a driver you always feel save. Service throughout the trip was awesome and we could discuss our preferences for every single day anew with William.
Would highly recommend this tour operator and driver for every Tanzania first time visitor!

Amazing
It was wonderful, excellent punctual service. Great guides, with experience and knowledge. During the safari we had the opportunity to see scenes worthy of Planet Animal , lion hunting , hyena feeding..it was really sensational . Accommodation as expected, great meals, even lunch, which was served during the safari. I recommend

The company offers a great experience and we didn’t have to worry about anything because they schedule everything according to the tourist’s preferences. All the staff are very kind and sympathetic.

A friendly and helpful guy!
Ruaha is a less visited park compared to Ngorongoro, Serenghetti or Tarangire. That makes it a much more easy going tour. Less organisation needed. In ngorongoro we had problems bealcause a guy in the agency didnt say about a russian couple's flight to Sansibar. So we had to do it quickly. Ruaha is a quite place without agencies or too much burocracy. The guy did all I needed. Although at the gate there was a bit problem and I had to wait until the problem is solved but that went quickly. We drove many kms and saw many interesting animals in a quite not so crowded touristy place. Early in the morning or late evening the wildlife is so active. Aah I would even go there again just to be in the middle of nothing but the nature in the calm evening again and listen to the wildlife. I just love it! Food was so delicious and even hyenas were closeby because they smelled cooked meat so I heard them in the bush.

Organized, friendly, and helpful!
The trip was great value for the money. My only complaint is I didn't book a long enough trip!! The lodge was amazing, clean and the staff were so friendly. I had a great experience on safari and saw almost all of the big 5 thanks to my great guides! And the Panorama Route was amazing. Definitely worth booking through Mzansi Experience!

Great hiking experience with a devoted and extremely reliable organisation
We spent four days hiking with Robert Dimbo and his guides. The first day was a 4 hour hike to the Meru falls, going back to Arusha at night. The next three days we went up Mount Meru.
Both trips were perfectly organised, with Robert and the guide coming to the hotel the evening before in order to discuss the hike planned for the next day. Especially for the Mount Mery hike this was necessary, because we didn't have the right clothes. We had set off with the European long distance hikes in mind, but on the top of Mount Meru it is freezing and often windy, so one really needs more to be dressed in the style of a Himalaya trekking. But no worries, Robert and the guide checked all our clothes and the next day they took us to a place where we could rent the missing equipment before setting off.
For this kind of trips, a lot more people are involved than what one is used to in Europe, but it is also necessary. For our family of 4, we had 8 porters, 2 guides, a cook and the first two days an ranger from the park. Thanks to this crew, we had great meals during the trip. All these people did everything possible to make it a great experience. Bear in mind to bring enough cash for all the tips, but they are definitely worth it.
Robert himself is a good organisator and a very reliable man, and I was especially pleased to see how he treats all his people with respect. This was a far more authentic experience than watching Masai dancing for tourists in their village.
For the hike itself, make sure you are fit. With my 55 years and average condition, I only made it to the second hut. I stayed there while the rest of the family made the steep night walk to the top. Nevertheless, it is a memorable experience.

A truly wonderful experience for our family!
A truly wonderful experience for our family! We have recently returned from a very special trip to Kruger where Shoes was our guide for 4 days! We wanted to see as much as possible of the park and he tailor made our trip to ensure this happened. Shoes has a true passion for the park given that he was born there and his knowledge and enthusiasm was outstanding and made it a very special experience for both us and our children! We really hope to be back one day and will definitely be getting in touch with Shoes! Shoes' colleague Emmanuel was also a very warm and engaging person and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Panorama route with him!
