AMAZING experience!!
We were a family of 4 and used Viva Safaris with a stay at Tremisana Lodge. We did a 5 day/ 4 night safari. It was the most amazing experience from beginning to end!! We saw all the “Big 5” and so much more ! Tremisana Lodge was wonderful. The grounds were rustic and beautiful , the food excellent, and staff amazing.
Viva Safaris was beyond our expectations. The safari guides/ drivers were beyond knowledgeable and our itinerary perfect. The itinerary kept us busy, but with the needed downtime in between. It was the perfect balance of activities. From Bush walks, game drives, and animal rehabilitation centers, there was so much to do and see!! We would highly recommend Viva Safaris and a stay are tremisana Lodge!!

Uganda is a very beautiful country, but you have to find a good guide to do safari what is not easy.
We had a very nice expecience, the gorila trakking was amazing, the weather was very nice, sunny, what helped a lot to see them.
Our accommodations were not very good, we did not have hot shower, but we did not pay for the best tour, our choice was a middle term one.
Regarding our guide, we were very disapointed, we did not have any safari in the morning and just one in the evening, so it was very difficult to see animal (we saw 3 of the big five). Our guide was desorganized! He booked a wrong room in a hotel, did not have the safari boat ticket on time. We went to queen' elizabeth and lake mburo. I still dont know why we went to lake mboro, once we got there at 5 pm (we did not have a night safari, cause our guide did not have light) and left at 9 am.
In my option everyone should go to Uganda, the people is amazing, food is very good and it is t one of the most beaultiful place I have been, but you have to look for a very good guide and check the schedule before (check the time of your safaris, in the afternoon is very difficult to see animals), I do not know which company is the best, but do not choose for the price, sometimes is better pay more to have a better service.

Diverse unpredictable wildlife sightings and action in 10 game drives at 3 different lodges
We were blessed with sightings of the major big cats: male and female lions and cubs (in various activities: a mating couple, young cubs suckling mommy lioness, 3 young male lions feeding on carcass, 2 lionesses face off a rhino family; a male and female lioness staking and chasing a warthog); cheetahs (brothers and within family) in Phinda park reserve; leopards (and even 1 one that prowled at Kirkman Kamp where we stayed).
Also saw several white rhinos, hyenas, genet, dwarf mangoose, besides lots of zebras, giraffes, elephants, wildebeest.
Weather was pleasant: dry and cold in mornings.
Food and accommodation was excellent, with good variety and quantity of food and very comfortable bedding and bathrooms.
Rangers and drivers knew their stuff and got us key cat activities and also close to the action.

Wonderful safari! Our guides, Abraham and Meshalu were beyond wonderful.
I originally booked our safari with Uhuru because I liked their unique itinerary where we had the opportunity to meet several different Tanzanian tribes as well as see the Big 5 in multiple different Tanzanian national parks. We brought our two teenaged son with us and they said it was the best experience they have ever had. Also, the hotels and lodges that Uhuru booked were wonderful. Abdallah was always communicative with us and once we arrived in Tanzania, we knew we were in good hands. Safety was very important to us and we felt that Tanzania was a safe and welcoming country.

Amazing Experience With The Best Guide-4 Day Safari
Best Day Safari's customer service was the best! They are so professional and truly care about you having an amazing experience. They set up a driver to come pick us up from the airport at 5:00AM. That driver then offered to take us on a city tour of Arusha, which was great. On that tour we got to go to the Cultural Center and a wonderful center that provides opportunities in the arts for disabled individuals. After spending a day in Arusha, we were picked up by our guide Six, who was truly fantastic. He was very knowledgable, kind, funny, and always spent extra time trying to find animals us. We learned so much from him and would recommend him with no questions asked. I would also recommend going on the Massi tour because it's a beautiful cultural experience.

Above our expectations
We just came back from a 10 days Tanzania safari with Leadwood expeditions and it could not have been handled any better. Boniface, manager at Leadwood, was totally responsive from day 1 and his customer service is beyond any I have experienced in my traveling.
Our guide John, recommended to us by other travelers was outstanding - experienced, aware and a pleasure to spend time with. We talked with him about everything culture, history and more he is a very good spotter. I still do not understand how he could spot what we could not find even when using our binoculars. He left no wish unfulfilled and was a funny and reliable guide as well as a very good and safe driver.
All the accommodations suggested by Boniface were beyond our expectations, more luxury than we hoped. All the meals were tasty and our best was at the Ngorongoro Farm House, the best vegetable soup I have ever tasted.
We have already recommended Leadwood to our friends coming for their honeymoon in December.
If I’m fortunate enough to ever go back to the area, I will of course use them again and can recommend to anyone looking for a great safari and fantastic service.

Excellent organisation, very spontaneous
We decided four days before our arrival in Tanzania that we‘d like to go on a safari. So we just wrote a message and it was no problem to organize a trip in these four days. We always got an answer on all our questions within short time. At our arrival we just had to pay and arrange the exact pick up time for the next day. A very nice and safe driver took us from Dar Es Salaam to Mikumi where we started our safari tour. It was a great experience in a beautiful landscape! The tourguides gave us much information about all the animals we saw. I would definitely recommend Hello Tanzania to everyone interessted in an advernture trip in Tanzania :)

Amazing safari tour!
We spent amazing 4 days on Safari!
The comunication with all the people from Hello Tansania was very good and everyone was so friendly to us. We could totally enjoy our trip, because every thing was well organized.
If there were some problems we could easily talk over the phone and find good salutions or clear our questions.
The Vamos hotel which was also organized for us by Hello Tansania was also very nice! It's almost in the Mikumi National Park, so it's not far to start a new trip in the morning.
Thank you for organizing such a great trip for us!
