Very professional driver, excellent accomodation, wonderful places
5/5

Safari has been amazing. The place where we stayed, the Farms of Dreams lodge, was stunning.
We got picked up on time at Arusha airport, first day at Tarangire park, we could spot Antilopes, Elephants, Wildebeests, Zebras, Giraffes, Velvet Monkeys and from far away also a Cheetah. There are facilities at the entrace of the park. Tumsifu, our guide, has always been very professional, friendly and ready to answer all our questions. Packed lunch food was good.
Second day, Ngorongoro crater was very nice. The place itself is gorgeous, and full of animals. A lot of wildebeests and zebras, but we could also spot lions, hippos and a rhino from far away.
Third day, lake Manyara, very nice, more rainforest environment. Close encounter with elephants and baboons.
Farms of Dreams lodge was fantastic. People are very friendly and make you feel always good. I'd really like to be back there.
Only 1 little trouble in the beginning, dealing with payments. We would have liked to pay by card or bank transfer, but system was not properly working and they told us that the safari was supposed to be paid in cash only few days before leaving. But that got fixed easily.

Below average info and not very accommodating
2/5

The company did not provide much info or interpretation on the parks (Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater) they brought us to or the animals we saw. There was one guides who was a wealth of knowledge, but the other two guides (including our truck) barely said anything and when we asked something the answers were short and basic. Also, we asked to go deeper into the park to see the great migration and the drivers made excuses without trying to accommodate us, see how it could work or explain why it couldn’t. Finally, they promised us an “extra special” stop on our last day and then didn’t do anything about it even when reminded. Overall there was a lack of info and communication and they just told us what they thought we wanted to hear, true or not.

Very professional organisation, taking good care of tourists, porters and guides. Pole pole
5/5

Snowcap gives value for money. They responded quickly by mail to any request. Payment was possible though bank transfer. The team took the time to meet us before the start of the hiking, explaining well what we could expect and checking our materials. What is missing could be rented. Punctual pick up at the hostal. We felt safe and well supptorted. The director met us again after our return the day after to check if everything was up to expectations. The guides were very professional and really helped us to reach the summit. The guide also helped us in taking the appropriate decision to go done with one of our kids who suffered altitude illness.nFood was abundant and very good.

Wonderful safari
5/5

We were travelling with our 3 children and wanted a tailor-made 4 night Safari in Tanzania's North. Noah answered very quick with a very good and professional offer. Therefore we booked neary a year in advance and were very much looking forward to it.
The guide (Hamza) was very kind and an experienced and safe driver. He had also a very good eye for the animals. The hotels were carefully selected. We very much liked the Ilkome Safari Lodge (great Serengeti-View & Wildbeest Migration next to the lodge / extremely kind Manager) and the Tloma Mountain Lodge (huge rooms; location & staff was excellent...)

The car was maybe a bit older, but comfortable. Over all it was a lifetime experience for us and our expectations were exceeded by far. Thanks Wildbeest Safaris!!!

wonderful experience with barafu tours and safari
5/5

Did my Kili trek and safari with barafu tours & safari !

8 days trek up mt kili via the northern circuit route ( ended up doing in 7 days haha ) with 7 amazing guys !
4 porters ( emmanuel , abdul , philipo , yohana )
1 waiter ( benedict aka benny)
1 cook ( jonas )
1 guide ( nelson aka nellie)

followed by a day tour in moshi ( materuni village trek a little bit to the materuni waterfalls about 40 mins (one way) , after which did the coffee experience. drove back to barafu office and met up with the safari driver ( shirima ) whom then drove me back to my hotel for a short briefing on whats to come for my 4d/3n safari adventure.

safari, went to tarangire 1st day , serengenti 2nd and 3rd day, ngorongo crater 4th day and back to kilimanjaro airport, and off to zanzibar which chance also arranged for me, with a guy named cholo.

Jonas my guide for kilimanjaro set a very good pace for me since day 1 to ensure that i dont over exhaust myself, and he constantly helped me to take some pretty nice photos !

shirima my guide for safari was very knowledgeable and knows pretty much about everything i ask him about, and his a solid driver !

i had a really good time in tanzania, all thanks to barafu tours and safari . they handled everything impeccably well.

oh yea and the lodges they recommended for safari is really awesome ! ESPECIALLY FARMHOUSE !!!

Amazingly beautiful and super arranged
5/5

We had our safari in June (2018). It was super nice. The guide did a great job. Beautiful accommodations and we have seen amazing things. If we would go again, we will definitely book here again !!
I found the booking and compiling of the trip a real plus. You can make it as crazy as you want. We would recommend it to everyone.

Wonderful Uganda Vacation with Amazing Guide Eddy
5/5

Our plan was to do Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda. This was our first trip to Africa and we were apprehensive of how it would go. We wanted it to go flawlessly without any issues. Thanks to Prime Safaris & Tours our trip to Uganda turned out to be a memorable one. From the day we began our trip from our hotel in Entebbe to the time we returned back to our hotel – Prime Safaris & Tours made sure that we were safe, comfortable, and had the best time ever. Many thanks to Prime Safaris & Tours for making this happen.

Since this was our first trip to Africa we were not sure of where to begin. Using the ratings on Trip Advisor we contacted few tour operators in Uganda. We also reached out to few reviewers on Trip Advisor. Response from Cate of Prime Safaris & Tours was amazing. He responded the very next day with four different itineraries which not only included the Gorilla Trekking but also provided additional things we could do on the way to and back from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Through the next three months Cate patiently responded to over 40+ emails answering all our questions. Cate’s detailed and prompt responses made us feel comfortable and as we continued the email exchanges we felt even better working with Prime Safaris & Tours. Cate’s suggestions on various aspects of the trip was very useful and valuable.

Eddy, our guide was an amazing person and a great guide. He was courteous, kind, and took very good care of us - from the time he picked us up from the hotel in Entebbe to the time he dropped us off at the same hotel four days later - we were in good hands. He made sure that everything went off very well. As we drove through Uganda and did game drives and went from one place to another Eddy shared lots of information about national parks, its animals, Uganda, its history, culture, and its people.

The planning and arrangements made by Cate at various hotels was excellent. He chose some of the best lodges for us. Each lodge had its own unique features and flavors, locations were great, rooms were nice, and the folks at these lodges treated us extremely well. By selecting excellent places for us to stay, Prime Safari & Tours made our trip especially memorable. There were two outstanding lodges where we were treated exceptionally well by their staff – Mazike Valley Lodge and Buhoma Lodge.

We were very fortunate to have found Prime Safaris & Tours to help us plan and execute a memorable and lasting memory of Uganda for us. Thank you. We will definitely use Prime Safaris & Tours on our future trips to Uganda.

Mama Savana was very professional since the starting process. Alex always answered all questions right away. We went on a 7 day luxury Tanzania Safari, compared several safari companies and I can tell you Mama Savana has a very good price. All the places we stayed at were great.
Allen our guide was very friendly and professional, his spanish was very good and was always willing to make us feel happy.
We surely recommend Mama Savana. Thanks a lot Alex and Allen!!!
