Our tour operator was personally committed to helping us retrieve personal papers lost on trip.
Our tour guide prepared personal itinerary copies for all four members of our family and thoroughly explained all details and answered any questions we had regarding the upcoming experience. He provided necessary transportation for us from airport to hotel and from hotel to airport. We felt cared for, provided for and trusted his advice and busing from restaurant to Giraffe camp in Nairobi. The connections from the airport in the bush to the camp site was punctual, safe, and enjoyable. Our safari guide was just fantastic and the safari camp was excellent. While in Zanzibar we experienced a wonderful old hotel and were served there by wonderful folks and an excellent transporter person from airport to hotel and back when we needed to leave. We will more than recommend the accommodations that we experienced. The tour guide in Zanzibar was also very personable and helpful giving lots of detailed information from his personal knowledge of having lived there his whole life.
We can't say anything but good about our whole trip Friday evening to Friday morning. All of our trip was beyond our expectations.

very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals the choice of the lodges were excellent
It was delightful to meet Hillary and Izikio at the Kilimanjaro airport. our safari started the next day in four days we visited Ngorongoro and Serengeti parks, very we had breaks for lunch and the packed lunches were OK. but the dinners at the lodges were very good the lodges were comfortable with hot and cold water .the roads are mainly bumpy if anyone has back problem this ride going to be really painful.
the night stay in Serengeti national park was unforgettable you can hear lions roar all night ,and sunrise and sunset are amassing it is a life experience not to be missed

Everything went according to plan and Hello Tanzania delivered outstanding service!
Meajabu was very helpful and “no” was mot in her dictionary.
We visited Makumi game reserve and were lucky to see the big five. The hotel was simple but ok. All the food was included, als during the safari.
We had a good experience!

Great experience!
We just finished a 5 day safari in serengeti, ngorongoro crater and tarangire national park and it was amazing! I was with my partner and we shared a jeep with 4 other persons (1 couple and 2 solo travellers). We arranged everything via Hillary, he was super helpful and did not mind answering all our questions several times. It was very easy to communicate with him via whatsapp before, during and after the trip.
Our driver/guide Mandela was a great spotter, we got to see all the big 5 (and the ugly 5!) several times during our time there. We slept in public campings which offered basic sanitary infrastructure, ideal for young travellers. Dionis was our chef, and every meal we were surprised about how good it was. The good dinner after a full day safari was really appreciated.
The overall organization was great, since our arrival at the airport everything was smooth and taken care of for us which allowed us to enjoy every day without worrying about any detail.
Thanks again Hilary, Mandela and Dionis for an unforgettable experience!

Ute at Roho Ya Chui was very helpful and quick to respond to all of our questions.
Ute was great! There was a slight mix up the how the local flights were booked, the airline was given a name that didn't match a passport but all in all Roho Ya Chui was outstanding. I think using a tour operator in a country like Zambia can make booking a safari much easier. And of the companies we worked with, Roho Ya Chui was among the best.

Murchison Falls National Park (Uganda) with Martin
Martin Janvier Kwizera has been an excellent driver and companion to discover the fauna and flora of Murchison Falls National Park. He has shown us the most beautiful spots and had a very good knowledge of where the animals were hiding in the savannah. Moreover, he has answered with competence all our questions. Last but not least, he was flexible and with a great sense of humour. Absolutely to recommend.

Trip of a Lifetime
After accepting an invitation to attend a professional conference in South Africa, I researched tours to supplement my trip. My goal was to see as many animals as possible. The positive reviews of Mmilo Tours led me to book with them, and it was a great decision. Easy to communicate with and fast response times, along with easy online payment. I traveled solo and was concerned about safety. Having a dedicated guide pick me up at my hotel put me at ease. I booked two tours with Mmilo, both led by Willem who is very knowledgeable and showed me so much. One tour was the day-long Pilanesberg Game Reserve and the other was another day-long tour of smaller animal refuges. I was game for side trips, and Willem drove us through Hartbeespoort Dam and other off the beaten path scenery. I appreciated that Willem communicated with me via WhatsApp once I landed in SA, so I never worried about pickups at the hotel. Patrick gave me a great tip about getting an early morning breakfast from my hotel, and I'm grateful for that tip because it's not something I would have thought of on my own! I added an extra tour last minute and it was no problem for Mmilo to accommodate me. I researched many tour companies before going with Mmilo and I'm absolutely happy that I did and recommend them to others. Will absolutely use again.

We were really happy with the agency and our agent Ute Sonnenberg
In reviewing any company it is the people that you work with that make the difference. Ute was able to not only give us the vacation we wanted, but make adjustments to our personal tastes. She listened to what we wanted and saw that we got it, rather than trying to fit us into her program, she adjusted the program to fit us! Everything went off as planned and without any hitches. Seems Ute anticipated everything we needed and when we would need it. We were really pleased with her service and professionalism! The Tour was lovely...in so many ways! Real attention to details. Top notch resorts, top class details.....Lots of laughs and fun! Plan to use Ute in the future, she is a real find and Roho Ya Chui seems to have all the right connections in all the right places. Would do it all again! ...or should I say "will" do it again.....the palns are in the works!
