Ngorongo Crater Safari with Patrick!
We would highly recommend Sunset Africa Ltd. to anyone looking for honest, quality service when embarking on an African safari. After finding our family of five in a difficult situation due to another company’s incompetence, Sunset Africa Ltd. came to our rescue and made sure that we were taken care of. Godfrey, the managing director, ensured that we knew exactly what we were getting so there would be no surprises. Patrick, our driver, was knowledgeable, friendly, considerate, and made sure that we were able to see every possible animal in Ngorongoro Crater. While the kids’ favourites were the zebras, we all enjoyed the wide variety of birds, herbivores, and carnivores. Patrick’s patience, experience and long-standing relationships with other drivers meant that all of us – our kids ranging from teenager to toddler – had a memorable time.
Our sense of being taken care of did not end with the safari portion; Patrick coordinated with Godfrey to drop us off directly at the airport instead of changing vehicles in Arusha (as planned) to make sure we arrived on time. We have nothing but gratitude for the positive experience and are thrilled by the animals we were able to observe in their natural habitats!
Note that Sunset Africa Ltd. further specializes in mountain trekking, camping and lodge safaris, balloon safari, cultural tourism, beach holidays, hotel reservation and volunteering programs.

SED Adventures and tours did a great job
Wife and I just completed a 10 day Northern Circuit tour of Tanzania with SED. Beginning with excellent correspondence and planning from Laizer in the communications dept., who answered all of my questions and presented reasonable alternatives to potential problem areas for us, to our awesome driver/guide Anton, the trip went off without a hitch. We have taken several safari tours before, never in Tanzania, however, and were never disappointed in our guides, but Anton is the best. He is a very safe driver over some awful roads getting to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and his game spotting ability is amazing. All in all, a wonderful trip.

Very smooth professional dealings with our holiday...thank you so much it was brilliant!
Dealing with Robert was wonderful and put us at ease by his knowledge and experience on African holidays. All communications were handled quickly and his inside knowledge of everything was brilliant. The holiday was wonderful with all accommodation being excellent and central. The arranged flights/transfers and tours all went like clockwork. South Africa/Zimbabwe and Botswana will always be in our hearts forever...thank you so so much.

A lovely, amazing experience in the Masai Mara.
My four friends and I had a great safari. Our driver, Jesse, was awesome and continuously checked on me and my 3 friends to make sure we were doing well. Our camp accommodations were very good and we met a whole bunch of lovely people from around the world. All in all it was a great experience and I would definitely do another safari with them, perhaps in a warmer month.

What a wonderful time! The perfect way to celebrate our big event.
The booking process was greatly helped by easy WhatsApp chat with Edna from Falcon Safaris. Advance on-line payment proved straightforward. It turned out that the guest house we had booked, Mopani Lodge, was part of the same company and this meant all the logistics worked like a dream. Our visit was to celebrate our golden wedding, so we were hoping for something exceptional - and that is just what we got! Over our two day stay, we booked three of the activities from the extensive menu: a guided tour of Vic Falls, a sunset river cruse on the Zambezi, and a day trip to Chobe national park in Botswana. Each one of these was truly spectacular and awesome. We were pleasantly surprised by meals etc that were included but even more by the fact that we had individual guides, not shared with others, and all the guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. We loved the wildlife, and our guides could name all the birds we saw. As well as the abundant bird life, we saw hippos, elephants, giraffes, impala, lions (including one sitting in front of a recent meal of baby elephant...) and even a sable, an endangered species. And Vic Falls themselves - well beyond description! Our visit was in July which is round the best time of year to go, and it was a truly awe inspiring experience. Our visit was enhanced by our guide, Brave, who fed us with interesting facts while allowing us to fully bask in the glory of this wonder. We are left with so many wonderful memories and can only record our great appreciation for all aspects of our visit provide by Falcon Safaris. We recommend them without reservation. (One small tip for UK visitors if you go to Chobe. This is in Botswana, and you need to have a multiple entry visa for Zimbabwe. If you have a single entry visa you may be able to get an extension but only before you leave Zimbabwe. Otherwise you have to buy another one on re-entry!)

We had a great 2 day safari with Vuriva Complex & Safaris Limited in Tarangire and Ngorogoro
Firstly, in terms of the organisation of the safari, William, the manager, was very helpful in finalising the financial details and coordinating the logistical arrangements of pick up and drop off.
The safari overall exceeded expectations, as the guide also delivered excellent service and we saw lots of animals considering our safari was 2 days overall.
I would highly recommend Vuriva Complex & Safaris to anybody as they delivered an optimal service that was tailored to our budget and time restraints.

Top Service Standards, Before, During and After - Hello Tanzania we will meet again
Hello Tanzania, have provided us with a wonderful experience of our first time in Tanzania and the Mikumi Safari experience.
Mwajabu has been wonderful in answering and helping with any query I had throughout the process.
We were picked up straight from the airport, very early in the morning, Mwajabu had arranged an on the go breakfast for us.
Loads of drinks and snack were provided for the journey. Our safari was amazing, our safari guide/driver Bob was very knowledgeable and made the safari experience so much better, Camp Bastian was lovely and the food and service provided.
Mwajabu checked up on us through messaging throughout the safari and even after. She also helped arrange our ferry tickets to Zanzibar which was ready at our Hotel after the Safari.
Mwujabu and her team provided consistently professional and very friendly service.
We very highly recommend Hello Tanzania, we will be visiting Tanzania again, Mwajabu and Hello Tanzania we will meet again.

GREAT experience!
Great experience with Africanchallenge safaris! Kennedy was really communicative and helped me organize my trip to Kenya and answered any questions I had. He arranged for me to be picked up the morning of my safari and be brought into City Centre for pickup! My guide, Maxwell, was very informative as well and made the safari really fun! You also get to meet lots of people from other safaris which is really cool. I went on this experience alone as well which was great because you get to meet so many people from different countries! This safari is great for budget travelers and was an overall awesome time! Thanks Kennedy and Africanchallenge!

5 STAR service from Blackie. Highly recommended
I did a 3 day Gorilla Trekking tour in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Blackie was my guide.
Pre-trip, I had a lot of questions which Blackie answered in detail with great patience. The quotation was competitively priced for what I wanted.
Day 1 drive to Bwindi - the journey from Kampala or Ebb takes 10-12h so you are strongly advised to leave on time at 7am from your hotel. The Safari Van that took me was well maintained and clean, and it also helped that Blackie is a safe driver so the long ride was bearable. In fact during the long ride, Blackie was pointing out and explaining every unique wildlife sighting on the way to Bwindi which I would have otherwise missed. Fun fact - he is an ex-zookeeper! That explains the passion
