Loved Masai Mara, did not care for Nairobi city that much.
We happened to be there during Election Day do most tourist attractions and
the whole city was closed down. People are nice, Uber's are great way of transportation.
Craft sellers on markets too aggressive. But loved Girafe
Center and baby elephant orphanage. Beautiful. But the gen is
the Masai Mara!!!

Tammy at Pembury Tours Created the Perfect Experience for Us!
Our first time to Africa. Tammy at Pembury spent a lot of time to create the perfect itinerary for us. From the very start of communication with Tammy, to post trip follow up, Tammy was truly amazing. The lodging, Safari's, day trips, drivers, pickups, and communication with Tammy was excellent. We had a perfect trip to a country that was new to us thanks to Tammy. Thank you Tammy! You're amazing!

Our deposit $4000US missing
We have planned a Safari for December2017 and received the same email as everyone else about someone running off with the money
We were told our trip is safe and is with another company.
When we contacted that company it is not so
So rang all hotels on our itinary some booked some not, none have received any payment
This is very disaapointing...Do not go with this company
We have tried to contact all Tanzanian tourist boards and even the Tourism Minister and are waiting replies

Amazing trip made just for us.
Explendor Tours was great with staying in contact from the day we began our email exchanges. They were helpful in creating the exact tour that we wanted. Once on the ground we had a private tour with guide Stephen and his wife Emily. They are both wonderful people who go out of their way to accommodate your wants and needs on the trip.
We felt very looked after and would recommend Explendor Tours to anyone. You can't go wrong with them.

Amazing memories that will stay with us forever!
We booked a three day/two night safari with Hello Tanzania and it was perfect from start to finish! Mwajabu Mo is incredibly organised and always available to answer any questions or deal with any changes to the booking. She was able to arrange a last minute change of accommodation practically at the drop of a hat. She was always ready to make sure our trip was everything we'd hoped for. She came to our hotel the evening before to take payment and talk us through the itinerary which was very helpful.
Our driver, Abdallah, was also amazing. The drive to and from Dar Es Salaam to Mikumi is approx 5 hours each way and he drove us very safely. He had a great sense of humour and was very attentive. We were supplied with water and snacks which we really appreciated!
The tours themselves are experiences we will never forget. From the Mikumi safari to the waterfall hike. Everything ran like clock work thanks to the fantastic organisation by all involved.
Vuma hills (luxury tented cabins) and camp Bastian (concrete lodges - high standard!) were where we stayed. Both amazing, the food especially was delicious. The staff at each were very warm and welcoming which is a huge part of what made our stay so fantastic.
100% would recommend Hello Tanzania. Thank you for helping us make memories that we will enjoy forever!

Outstanding Experience in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda
My husband, our three teen-aged daughters, and I, along with my husband's parents, just did a 19 day African expedition with Dickson and his crew - ten days in Kenya (Samburu, Masai Mara, Amboseli, etc.), five days in Tanzania (Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater), and four days in Uganda (tracking gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable forest). Amazing!! The driver/guides were all extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous and made sure we saw everything we needed to see. Dickson's responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our needs made us feel most relaxed and taken care of so we could simply sit back and take in the magnificent surroundings. I have one word for Africa - Go. And if/when you do, let Dickson and his crew take care of you - you will not regret it.

I couldn't have done it without Tanzania Choice Safaris!
Everything from the Safari to the mountain climb, Tanzania Choice Safaris was excellent! The guides for the safari knew so much, they really taught us about the parks, the animals, and even the plants/trees. It was amazing! The guides for the climb were unreal too. I honestly don't think I would have made it to the top without Festo, our main guide. He was so encouraging not only for me but to our whole group..."Go Big Red!"

Tamarind Safari: Fantastic Experience in Zambezi with the best guides!
I made the Tamarind Safari, which was 4 days and 3 nights canoeing from Chirundu to Mana Pools & sleeping in sand islands in Zambezi . It has been one of the most beautiful experiences I have had. Our Guide "Zera" had more than 25 years experience, and you need someone that really knows the hippos... The Safari is a mix of total contact and peace with Nature, while you canoe in the midst of the sunrise but then the adventure of passing by through thousands of hippos. The sunset in Vundu Island was amazing... and even the food was really good. I think its the best way to know a natural park like Mana Pools. Highly recommendable!
