Excellent Service and an amazing Itinerary
We booked our 12 days safari with Giltedge and were amazed by the great service they offered.
Very shortly after we requested more information Monique our agent already contacted us. She was very knowledgeable and put together an amazing trip for us that we will always remember. Everything was perfectly well organized and we didn't have to worry about anything. All we had to do was just to enjoy our vacation
We also want to highlight that Monique was extremely caring about our well being that went way above our expectation. Here an example. Due to the new Corona variant everything got quite chaotic and Monique even checked with our airline (that we haven't booked with Giltedge, if everything was still ok). And she checked on us even during the weekend.
We were extremely happy with Giltedge and can recommend them to everyone!

Great experience with the best team
The tour was great from all points of view. We choice Cubs Expeditions because they have 5 stars in the reviews and they deserved them i can say after 3 days spent togheter.
From the guys who speak with us, Humphrey, Mr T. to the guide and the cook. The guide drive us to the best places in Serengheti and Ngorongoro where we seen a lot of animals in various situations and always tell us the story of that animal or what happens there. The food was great, fresh and tasty, i think was the best food that we eat in Tanzania in our stay. The communication great, they help us every time we ask for something.
Highly recommend!
Thank' s guys!!

Unique experience
Humphrey arranged this trip for us impeccably. He was always ready to answer all of our questions before this trip.
We took a 3 day safari and everything was great: from airport transfer, to overnight accommodation and of course the whole safari trip: good food, good accommodation in tents, great guide and also we were lucky enough to see many wild animals. Only the rhino was short to check the whole big five list :)
Regards also to Mister T for meeting and briefing us at the hotel before we started.
The whole team, including the driver that picked us at the airport in Kilimanjaro, are great guys and we thank them for this trip.

Excellent all around service!!!
Our safari was amazing from start to finish. From start I mean my very first message to Migration I got Amos and he was more than helpful. I am a big planner when I do trips so I had A LOT of questions. Communication was fast simple and easy!! Amos was very patient with me and went above in beyond in answering every question I had. My husband and I were staying in Dar es Salaam so we had to catch a flight to get to our safari. Amos gave me option of taking us via bus or flight to Arusha/Kilimanjaro. He recommended airlines to book for the flight as well as hotels to stay at if we could not get a flight to coordinate with our safari times. Deposit and final payments were all very easy and the price was what was listed no hidden fees. Pick up from the airport was very smooth. Our flight arrived early so I was nervous but our ride was early as well. There was someone waiting outside the airport with a sign with my name on it and the number of people in my party, so we knew exactly who to go with. Our driver GodLove was excellent. The drive to the first park took a few hours but we felt comfortable the whole ride. On the way to the park he gave us some info about the towns and different passing landmarks. He asked what we wanted to see/experience while in the parks and then told us to keep low expectation. This was the best advice ever and changed the whole out look of the experience!!!! While inside the park he let us use his binoculars and took pictures for us through his binoculars so we could get better pictures on our phone. He also did a good job of maneuvering the truck so we could get good angles and views of different animals. He had a great eye for spotting things that we couldn’t see!!!! The accommodations at Octagon Lodge were great. Everyone there was very friendly and the food was amazing!!! THIS TOUR WAS WORTH THE MONEY AND THEN SOME!!!!!!
A few suggestions I have to someone looking to book is be patient. I understand you may have certain animals you want to see but you have to realize that these are wild animals in a huge park. Your tour guide cannot control where the animals are and they cannot make them appear. Express what you want to see and I am sure if the opportunity is available your tour guide will do their best to try to help you experience it. TAKE A SNACK WITH YOU!!! You don’t want to be in the middle of the action or on a hunt for an animal and then have to leave because you are hungry. There was a time when I wanted to ask when was lunch during our game and I am glad I didn’t because right at that moment we found a lion and right after that a cheetah but had I asked for us to go to lunch we would have missed all of that. Bring a professional camera and good binoculars if you have some. Be respectful of the animals. You are entering their homes so don’t bother them. Just be respectful and watch and observe you don’t have to yell at them and bother them to try to get their attention. You wouldn’t want someone coming to your home and doing that to you so give them the same respect.
All and all this was a great experience and I cannot wait to come back with the rest of our family

A perfectly run safari, fun and low-stress
Mazingira brought us on one of the most amazing experiences of our lives! Before even arriving in Tanzania, Johari was in constant communication, adjusting our schedule to fit our requests and clearly communicating what was needed as far as payment.
Johari and our guide David picked us up at the Kilimanjaro Airport and handled everything for us from then onwards. The game drives were amazing, with David pointing out animals we may have missed and explaining various facts about them. One thing I especially appreciated - while some other groups would take their pictures and leave, David knew when it was worth it to park and patiently watch the animals. This led to us seeing some very cool behaviors.
The lodges and tented camps we stayed at were excellent. Mazingira had coordinated everything perfectly, and even communicated that we were on our honeymoon. We had some lovely surprises from the lodges (champaign, cakes, flowers) as a result. It was really a great touch.
The tour was worth every penny and more! Thank you!

Excellent Tour Operator
Just finished a 3 night 2 day Safari with the best tour guide I’ve ever been with. Peter is excellent, very knowledgeable about everything, and knows all the best spots. Masai Mara was beautiful and we saw Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Buffalo, and many more just to name a few. This is my 3rd Safari and it is very rare to see all of these in one or 2 days. Peter found them all! He is very trustworthy and safe and you will have a great time. I will be back. Thanks Peter!!

Amazing 2 night, 3 day safari
Our trip was absolutely incredible! This is my 4th time to Kenya and 2nd time with Peter and Longclaw Expeditions. I won’t ever use anyone else again! Peter is so knowledgeable and professional. From the time he picked us up, we were taken care of and every need supplied. The pricing is also very fair. During our game drives, Peter always seemed to know where to go. We saw Cheetah’s eating after a fresh kill, elephants, hippos, crocs, giraffe, multiple lion sightings - several as close as 5 feet away from our vehicle (lions choice, not ours, haha). We saw multiple leopards and probably every animal Masai Mara has to offer. If you’re looking for a great safari, there is no need to look beyond Peter and Longclaw Expeditions.

Best Safari Ever! Thank you Mufasa!
I have done a lot of safari in my life and this one was from far the best!
First of all the organization by Mufasa team especially Joe was amazing! From the first email to meeting us before departure in the hotel to make sure we were still happy with the planning etc we felt super comfortable.
The one week safari was the best ever, honestly. Colin our guide was just amazing, funny, caring and really knowledgeable about animals, nature, areas and communities. Thanks to him, since he went far and beyond so we could see the big 5 we did even at least twice each! We even saw a kill and lions honeymooners!
The camps were all outstanding: location, facilities and staff. Waking up in a tent front of giraffes and elephants is priceless.
We definitely recommend Mufasa tours and pick Colin as a guide, i promise you, you won’t be disappointed. We miss him already!

Apodiformes exceeded the expectation
Silas is very accommodating and flexible. He made sure that we are well taken cared of during the full trip.
Isaiah, our private guide was also entertaining and very caring.
Well recommended for future trips to Kenya. They can customize the trip depending on your budget and preferences.
