Tanzania is a beautiful gem in the heart of Africa.
Our group of four adults loved Tanzania. Tanzania has always been a bucket list destination for us and it did not disappoint. On our Selous safari we saw a variety of wildlife including giraffes, lions, wildebeests, a lion, a water buffalo, hippos, and a variety of beautiful birds. In addition, the scenic beauty of the county is hands down amazing and the people are welcoming with a smile. We definitely plan to visit Tanzania again.

The organization and the trip to Selous was perfect.
We booked a safari trip to Selous for two nights/three days with Gecko Adventures. All the process was perfect, from the given information, budget, changes, requests and specially the attention given by Rama. The final price for the safari was competitive. Our trip was from Zanzibar by plane, and our lodge was the Selous River Camp. The accomodattion in a triple Mudhut was great, just in front of the river. All the staff in the lodge were nice. The guide of all safaris was very professional. The weather in july was perfect. No rain and a nice temperature.

A spectacular life time experience
My wife and I spent 8 days in Tanzania, our trip was amazing thanks to Afrishare safari that organised our vacation, we landed at Kilimanjaro airport where we met Ibrahim from Afrishare; he was very kind to come pick us up from the airport, despite his busy schedule, we drove to Arusha city to stay at Mount Meru Hotel; a place with scenic views, good dining area and good service. our stay there was only for one night; but we highly recommend it, we also got to take a tour around Arusha before sunset on a motorcycle, it was a good experience.
On our second day we met with our Safari driver and we started our trip heading to Tarangire National Park for an all day game drive, one of Tanzania's natural reserves, northerly located, we were lucky we got to see plenty of Animals; cheetahs, Impalas, Ghazals, Giraffes, many Elephants as well.
We stayed at Nimali Tented Camp; a luxurious lodge located on the boundaries of Tarangire park; we were amazed by the elephants located in front of the camp which made sunset look even more wonderful. the place is very warm and cozy, we felt as if we were in our own home, in the evening we gathered around the bonfire and enjoyed a very romantic dinner under the stars.
We arrived to Ngorongoro Crater on our third day; the most beautiful park of all. The crater is full of animals, we got to see the big five there, it was crowded with visitors since it was the high season, however Ngorongoro is most definitely a must. We got to see a rhino there
Our stay was at Ngorongoro sopa lodge; it's our favourite place of all places we stayed in, with amazing views and delicious food, however; it's much colder than the rest of the places hence its on the edge of the crater's rim.
Then we spent 4 days at Serengeti national park, with almost 15 thousand kilometers of endless savannah plains; We were lucky enough to witness the great migration where wildebeests, zebras and many ghazals crossed Grumeti River, and we did an air balloon ride and watched the sun rising over Serengeti, we watched animals from the air. The driver was very cooperative and took us to all the places we asked for . We saw a few leopards and lions feasting
We stayed at two different tented camps; Asanja Under The Stars; we watched the sunset from a perfect point of view and watch the dazzling night sky full of stars, the tent we stayed in is called warrior tent, very nicely decorated, with a comfy bed, with toilet and shower inside the tent as well, food there was great. the drive to the Tent is a little long when driving from central serengeti. On the way we saw a Rhino and an elephant was getting a bath in the same submerged road we had to cross. it was intense. overall we do recommend staying there.
the second place was katikati tented camp in the north of Serengeti near the Maru river. the drive was long from central Serengeti but Hajj our Driver did a good job finding the place. The lodge was much simpler less luxurious, but friendly and cozy. Tenants dine with the driver and chat with him over a warm, delicious meal. on the way to the camp we say groups of tens of thousands of wildebeests migrating. We also saw some crocs in the river
We ended our trip by flying through Kogatende airstrip in Serengeti, where I sat next to the pilot in a small five seater cessna plane.
We'd like to thank Afrishare, Ibrahim and Haj our driver for this amazing trip. they were amazing through planning up until we flew out to Zanzibar, and made sure that we were happy and comfortable.

Our first safari = Kitulo- and Ruaha-National-Parks on one safari have been a great experience
We booked a tour with ChaboAfrica 18.-23.February 2018 starting in Mbeya. SAM our marvellous guide picked us on time at our guesthouse, visiting then the Kitulo National-Park with its wonderful orchids and other plants. An exciting adventure was to find an unexpected overwhelming waterfall. With one stay in Iringa we went on to Ruaha National-Park. Sam was an excellent guide to find for instance lions, leopards, cheetahs and nice birds. We want to thank Sam and ChaboAfrika for the professional service starting with the first contact, and the unforgetable safari!!!

Michelle gave us the experience of a lifetime; I hope to repeat it in the future!
Michelle was wonderful to work with, responsive to our needs and preferences, and booked us a trip that fulfilled our expectations and beyond. We had a week in Cape Town, before we went on safari, and Michelle even thought to include little things, like "do we want to be picked up at the airport and taken to our condo? and back to the airport after the week is up?" which was not a part of the trip that she was involved in booking. Why, yes we do! Thank you very much.
We had wonderful camps, great accommodations, excellent food, and the friendliness of the staff everywhere was beyond our expectations. Our trackers and rangers were very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Our transfers were on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and also entertaining. We enjoyed every moment, and hope to be going back for more in the not-too-distant future. I highly recommend Sun Safaris, and Michelle in particular, to everyone who mentions they want to go on such a journey.

Outstanding personal service and well-organized itinerary!
Hello,
We traveled to Kenya (Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara) and Tanzania (Zanzibar) in July 2018 with Tekko Tours & Travel. I would highly recommend Tekko to anyone who may be considering an East African safari.
Maggie was incredibly gracious, patient, and thorough in responding to my inquiries and customizing our trip. Her help made planning the safari stress-free and quite enjoyable.
Our guide and driver, Stephen, was professional, knowledgeable, and worked incredibly hard to make sure we had a good experience. He has been guiding tours for many years and absolutely made our trip one to remember for a lifetime. He was on the radio communicating with other guides and expertly navigated us right to every type of animal imaginable.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience Stephen, Maggie, and Tekko!
