Tanzania in April 2017
My wife and I took a seven day safari with Tanzania Expeditions towards the end of April 2017. We travel quite extensively. That's said not to boast, but to give context that we have experienced many different sights and tours around the world. Our experience with Justin (Owner) and Tanzania Expeditions was truly phenomenal. Justin was extremely patient and responsive during the process of setting up the ideal, customized itinerary for the two of us. We were able to spend time in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide, Emmanuel, is definitely one to request if you do go on a safari with TE. He is extremely experienced, knowledgeable about most everything we saw and also maintains an enthusiasm that is contagious. Emmanuel became more like a friend as the safari progressed, and he exceeded all of our expectations.
We were fortunate to visit during the rainy season and yet didn't experience more than an hour of rain during our seven days. We saw countless numbers of animals and the lodges that Justin organized were definitely high end.
Booking with Justin and TE comes highly recommended from me with no concerns or reservations.

Great Experiencie * Great Guide * Amazing place
From the very beginning was incredible. Noah was always very responsive and friendly. And Peter our tourist guide in Kenya was the best. He knew a lot, is a very nice person and thanks to him we saw the big 5 plenty of times!! . 100% recommendable the whole experience: Safari in Kenya + Wildebeest + and Peter as a leader. Thanks Wildebeest for this really nice and unforgettable experience ❤ ❤

Just wonderful
Booked with pride of Africa adventures. The whole family had the best time ever. The service was excellent. Steve is a gentleman always delivers what he says. The driver we had during our stay in Mara knew his job well. Managed to see all the big 5 in one day.
I would recommend pride of Africa adventures anytime.

A wonderful experience which totally exceeded our expectations!
This was our first safari, and it exceeded our expectations both as to the wildlife sighted and the total experience camping out in the wild. My husband and I are 74 and 68. Jane responds quickly to emails, and answered all our queries prior to the safari. She is a very good and knowledgeable guide, and as a photographer herself, knows how to position the vehicle for the best light conditions. We enjoyed the closed vehicle on the cold mornings, and one wet day, when some people in open vehicles looked rather miserable. It was also good on the long drives between sites. As a woman just over five foot tall, I could see well, and take good photos when the top was open, by standing on the seats. The crew are all friendly and effective and so we thoroughly enjoyed the camping. The food was wonderful, and plentiful, causing some expansion of waistlines! Jane has an excellent reference library of books about the flora and fauna of Botswana - these are always to hand in the vehicle which really enhanced the sightings. We enjoyed the convivial evenings around the campfire and Jane's skills as a raconteur. We would thoroughly recommend a safari with Ulinda.

Do not use this your operator
From someone who doesn't normally write reviews, I felt I owed it to possible future travelers who may fall victim to this company. Whatever you do, do not use Good Time Safari or deal with Victor Godwin. If you are contacted by them, find a different company immediately. This is a man and a company that shows little care and respect for their clients. So much so, that they steal money from them. After I paid the safari in full, Victor then asked me to pay the fees at the park entry, for which I would be reimbursed (he promised). This reimbursement never came. I felt taken advantage of and ignored after several attempts to contact Victor and arrange ways to get my reimbursement. This company is poor and unethical. Stay away.

A great journey with a big diversity in an original african country
The tour was very well organized by our professional and very competent guide Saidi.
We loved the tents in Dzalanyama Forest, The Thornicroftlodge in Zambia and Chembe''s Eagles Nest. All people who cooked for us were very friendly and offered a good standard.
The Southluangwa-Nationalpark was just amazing.
Since there was still raining season the vegetation was lovely green.
Thank you Saidi for this great experience!

"Perfect Safari and great company to trust"
Six days in Uganda and my holidays were amazingly unforgettable. I and my wife enjoyed our safari with Scovia as our driver/guide. She is humble, cooperative, intelligent and knowledgeable with excellent coordinating skills and this made us feel very comfortable through out our safari. We visited (mabeere ga nyinamwiru, the crater lakes, Kibale national park, Queen Elizabeth national park and Lake mburo national park) and we saw many beautiful animals and the sceneries. My favorites were the Chimps, the caves and the tree climbing lions, I couldn't hold my joy watching.
The accommodation and meals were excellent and well arranged. Scovia, the guide/driver made it more lovely and enjoyable with her perfect knowledge, experience and communication skills. This safari was definitely what we needed to get our minds off things and appreciate Africa.
I would definitely recommend "pamora safaris" for once in a life time holiday.

Wonderfully organized Kenya tour by BigTime Safaris
I arranged my first Kenya(Africa) visit through BigTime Safaris. It was a seamless arrangement. Martha was really helpful from aiding us plan the tour to helping us with documentation. Right from landing at JKIA to leaving was a friendly & comfortable experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed Hell's Gate NP, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Balloon Safari over Mara, Nakuru reserve. The safari guides were very knowledgeable and experienced. Spotted the big 5, cheetahs, hippos, and almost saw a chase/kill !!!
Will surely recommend BigTime to everyone...
Cheers!
