A wonderful experience. We felt well looked after and had a fantastic time.
We are a family of four with two children aged 15 and 11. We had a fabulous and memorable safari arranged by Joseph with Tony as our excellent guide to Tarangirie National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorogoro Crater.
The standard of accommodation was very high. We particularly liked the tented camps in the Serengeti, and we saw an amazing range of wildlife including the 'Big 5' and many other animals and birds. Tony was the best guide we could have wished for; extremely knowledgeable, a fantastic driver, very patient with all of our questions and a lovely person.
We had excellent service from Joseph from our initial e-mails to all the way through our safari. Joseph was always quick to respond to e-mails and provide different itineraries until we decided on what we wanted. I have no hesitation in recommending Happy World Safaris for anyone considering an independent safari in Tanzania.

Incredible engagement and support all the way to the top
What an amazing trip! The guides were very knowledgable, spoke good english and were very supportive. We had a fairly big group going up fhe Kilimanjaro and almost every day there were people walking behind. Each time several guides stayed behind, never rushing them. One day someone had a hard time and we were falling so far behind we missed lunch (which you definitely need) and they arranged for porters to walk toward us from the camp to lunch with us, amazing. All the way to the top they supported us by keeping the mood up and guiding us through the darkness. Every guide that asked my name remembered it for the rest of the trip. And of course the wiater and chef deserve a prize, being able to cook so much food every night and making sure we’d eat enough. I have done several hikes and climbings but I have never had such amazing guides! Thank you Herman and crew!

Budget safari that delivered all that was promised
Right from the start all our e-mails were answered the same date, communication was excellent. I was worried about booking with a budget company, but as we wanted to do safari and a Kilimanjaro climb, it soon be came clear how expensive it would be with other holiday firm's. Mj's was in our price range and we were more than happy with the service, from being met at the airport to being delivered back, all went to plan and we had a fantastic from.
Our Safari guide Nelly, was great, informative, fun and very protective. He made our Safari experience wonderful. Also two of our group went on to summit Kilimanjaro, Machame route and the guides were helpful and looked after one of us that struggled with the excersion and altitude, to make sure he was able to reach the summit, then get him down quickly. All the food was great and tastie on safari and on the mountain. Tents were good quality and vehicles were good, I am sure we had a just as good experience compared to people who had paid a lot more for their holidays. Also the Keys annex hotel we stayed in before, inbetween and after was great, helpful fun stayed, lovely food and nice bar and really comfortable need, which are heaven after your Kilimanjaro climb. Really, if you are in any doubt about booking with Mj's, go ahead. They really do deliver what they say and I am sure you will have a great time.

Outstanding Service
The Service of Safari Source was outstanding. A big plus was that I could communicate with Monika in German. We had a whats app call I could her explain what I want. One day later she already sent me offers via email.
I used this company for the first time and I would highly recommend to everybody.

From start to finish, Boundless was dedicated to ensuring we had an amazing safari experience.
My partner and I went on a 6 day safari in the Masai Mara with Boundless Africa and we couldn't be more happy with how it turned out. From the planning stages, Annette was super helpful in ensuring the safari was what we were looking for and within our budget. Communication with her was easy and we did not have to wait long for her replies.
When we arrived, we were met by our driver and tour guide Shadrack. He really went above and beyond during the entire trip and was super knowledgeable about the area and the animals. He was very professional and personable and answered any questions we had. Although we knew it couldn't be guaranteed, we were able to see all of the animals we were hoping (including the big 5), and we owe this to Shadrack's knowledge and dedication to his job. He was respectful to the animals and didn't try to get into their personal space, which allowed us to see them in their most natural way.
We are very happy with our time with Shadrack and our experience with Boundless we would definitely use them again!

Fantastic Safari with Earthlife
I have just returned from Tanzania after an amazing safari. I travelled in a group of 16 with 4 jeeps. The itinerary, accomodation and all organisation had been done on behalf of us by our leader in conjunction with Earthlife and couldn't be faulted.
I would like to comment on our 4 drivers, Junior, Jeff, Kelvin & Daniel. They were all excellent drivers, the jeeps were always clean, they had an amazing knowledge of animals and culture, an incredible ability to spot animals hiding and always had us in the perfect spot for photos. We were lucky enough to see 2 crossings of wildebeest - what an experience - and the positioning of the jeeps was incredible. They were warm, friendly, kind, never tired of answering our questions, and with a great sense of humour. Thank you for generously sharing your amazing country with us. The four of you are a credit to Tanzania and to Earthlife.
Best wishes

A Wonderful Experince
Joesph became our friend, who is very nice, kind, helpful, and all the good things. I cannot believe me and my husband had such a great time. Joesph took very good care of both of us so we don’t have to worry about a thing but just to enjoy the trip we all had planned out! Joesph is very professional which made our journey extra ordinary! We definitely will go back again and explore more.
