Reliable Partner for private safari in Tanzania - great experience guaranteed
We went on private 12-days safari with Quest Horizon in September 2017. The itinerary covered northern Tanzania: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti and North Serengeti. We had a wonderful time, everything was perfectly arranged and we could fully focus on enyoying the nature. Recommended lodges and camps were great and food was really outstanding. We saw amazing nature scenes and lots of animals from pretty close distance - inluding big 5 of course. Our guide Fadhili was very engaged and thanks to his friendliness and sense of humor we had a lot of fun together. Fully recommended!

Helpful People and the Experience of a Lifetime
The service when booking the trip was great, my contact answered all my questions and was very responsive. The reminders for when payment was due were also helpful. The service of the people running the rafting trip was also excellent, they were all very friendly and helpful and I was always confident that I was in good hands. My raft guide was Boyd, who was insane but very good at his job and very friendly, haha. Sven ran the entire show, and he and Scotty were patient and comforting and exciting guides. Plus, doing a 4-day rafting trip with total strangers is a great way to make friends with fascinating people from all over the world!
The trip itself was significantly more dangerous than I realized it would be, but that's the way of doing crazy things in nature. I wouldn't take back this experience for the world.

Out of the world!
We were picked up at the Arusha airport by Geoffrey who introduced us to our guide Sereva and our cook Amidi, the best we could have asked for. Sereva is a leader in true sense of the word, he knew where to find the animals and had the patience to keep up with each and every one in the group and has the knowledge that enriches your experience. He accommodated every one's need with a smile.
Amidi's cooking was wonderful, we hogged on food at the end of the day and everything was delicious.
The safari it self is an experience that leaves you spell bound. They organised everything perfectly, we slept in tents on all the campsites where we were visited by various animals. The communication was clear and fast.
I would definitely recommend Meru slopes for a real experience, not a luxury experience mind you.

Fantastic safari operator, great communication, helpful with planning
I have only fantastic things to say about Nyasi Adventure! While planning our trip, we were overwhelmed with all of the options (where to visit, how long to stay, getting around inside the country), and the guys at Nyasi helped us out with everything before we even got there. They planned our flights inside, they gave us honest opinions on where we should go based on the time we had and what we wanted to see, booked our lodging, and took away the guesswork of planning. Specifically, we emailed them (and several other operators) about going to the Serengeti, and while the other operators said "sounds good, here's the price", Nyasi asked why we wanted to go to the Serengeti, then said they could make that happen, but also gave us other options that fit what we were looking for that better matched our timeline. They were quick to respond to our (tons of) emails, and overall very easy to work with. They let us make the decisions we cared about, and handled the rest perfectly.
When we actually got there, they were wonderful - every suggestion they had made for our trip was perfect. The communication between everyone was great too - we had indicated over email we wanted to see elephants, and our guides were made aware of that and made sure to spend some extra time when we came across some. I can't imagine a better safari experience, we saw everything I was hoping to see - elephants, lions, giraffes, hippos, even a blank rhino. Our guides were funny, courteous, and super helpful - I had a mobility issue on the trip that made getting around a little more difficult than normal, but it wasn't an issue at all. When we finished our tours for the day, we discussed what we were thinking for the next day, so we could change plans based on how we were feeling and what we wanted to see.
When we finished our safari we did hang around in Tanzania a bit more, but when we were concerned about having too much time at the airport before flying home, Nyasi set up a hotel for us, and even picked us up from the airport to take us to the hotel for our layover. We actually arrived an hour early, and thought we were going to have to wait for our ride, but he knew someone at the airport who called when we landed early, and we waited a total of 5 minutes. This is way above and beyond what I expected from a safari company, but it took all the stress out of our trip. In addition to the fantastic experience we had with them, it was nice to support a small business that was started and owned by locals. We've already started talking about our next vacation here, hoping to bring some friends and family, and will definitely book with Nyasi again!

Giada Claassen was effcient and very pleasant and helpful - a pleasure to work with.
We were very pleased with everything. The accommodations were well chosen and we were very satisfied. Our only criticism perhaps would be with accessing Oyster Bay Lodge. The road accessing their property is so rough and filled with big rocks which could be better cleared. We hit a pot hole and it ripped part of the wheel off. While all the roads are gravel in that area, their property's road leading to the main bldg for check in was by far the worst.

Absolute blast!
I've been on a few safari's/bush trips and this was by far the best time I've had. Absolute spot on service and the guys went out of their way to make sure we saw the full wildlife spectrum, not just a canned 'fake' trip.
Can't recommend these guys enough!

Best 6 days Safari in Kenya
First I thank the sun splash safari team, office staff and driver guide
for arranging for us the best 6 days safari in Kenya. Our safari started
in Nairobi city to Masai Mara Game Reserve on the first day, everything
went as planned and we had our first evening game drive in Masai mara , we
were lucky to see the lion, cheater and leopard on the first 30 minutes we
entered the park. Thank to our driver guide Ken who is Knowledgeable in
guiding stills. In Lake Nakuru we saw the rhino and Amboseli we had the
beauty of Mount Kilimanjaro with the elephants. I will highly recommend
my friend to book with sun splash safaris. Thank you Erick and the team.

Thanks Karibu for the amazing tour. All the arrangement is great and smooth, and good follow up.
Special thanks to Robert, Raymond and Dan Castro.
Raymond, our safari's guide is very patient and knowledgeable about the animals, he always try his very best to show us as many animals as possible, therefore, we were able to spot all the big 5!
Dan Castro, friendly, very enthusiastic and passion for his job, the tour to the elephants orphanage & giraffe center wouldn't be great if without Dan. We had great time!
And thanks to Robert for arranging the tour, speedy response regardless day or night, really salute that!
Glad that we have chosen Karibu Safaris. No regret at all.

From the moment our tour began, it was smooth sailing. Richard our guide was wonderful. So friendly, knowledgeable and truly made our experience one to remember. The service and organisation was amazing - we didn’t have to think or worry about a thing. Thanks Richard for such a personal experience. We look forward to doing it all again one day.
