Perfect service and great tour
I have sent my parents (70+) on a group tour with Kruger Park Tours, and they loved the tour.
The service was excellent, everything was explained very clearly and the tour leader was very friendly and helpfull. The accommodations were great as well and very suitable for an elderly couple.
Many thanks Kruger Park Tours for your excellent service!

Best One Day Safari Ever!!
This was my mother's first trip to Africa and both of our first safari tours, and we had an exceptional time with Bestday Safaris. Despite it being a quick one day tour within the Tarangire National Park, we saw elephants, ostriches, zebras, baboons, giraffes, warthogs, impalas, and water buffaloes to name a few. Stopping at a Maasai village afterwards was and extra special bonus. Louis our guide was very knowledgeable and personable, and Peter was extremely professional, responsive, and friendly. The next time I come back, I'll definitely have to do a longer safari with them, but for our tight schedule it was perfect. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone thinking about doing a safari, you won't regret it.

Awesome 8 day Safari
We had a great private 8-Day Safari in Tansania. Hamad came to pick us up from the airport and anwered all of our questions that came in to our mind. We boooked a group safari but the others didn't showed up. So we did get a private tour through the 5 Nationalparks. Hamad had planed out every of our wishes very well so we got to stay one night in a lodge as well as to get up to the north of the Serengeti. Thanks to our guide Nicko we even got to see the big migration what was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The End of July already was the end of the migration but our guide did everything possible to find them. We had a greate time!

Can't be trusted. Kenneth Karuhanga is a fraud.
Four months ago we reached out to Ken for a proposal to organize our trip to Tanzania. He is based in Uganda but is also listed as leading tours in Tanzania on your website, and his proposed itinerary and reviews made him seem like a good fit. He said he would be the guide for both our six-day ascent of Kilimanjaro and our five-day safari from Moshi. He asked for a $1000 deposit to cover national park fees and staffing costs, which seemed fair.
One week before the trip Ken told us he needed more money since it was the holiday season and costs were higher. We felt it was unfair to change the budget right before we started traveling, but agreed to move forward with the trip as planned and to pay the extra sum when we arrived.
When we arrived in Moshi and expected to meet Ken, we instead met a woman named Neema Mushi who runs an agency called Licious Travel Adventures (also on your site). She explained that Ken was not coming to Tanzania at all, that her price of the trip was under budget and that Ken had not forwarded any of the deposit money we had sent him.
We spent many evenings frantically trying to reach Ken and recover the deposit money to run our trip as planned, but Ken said he had needed the money for "another project" and couldn't send it right now. He finally sent $175 to Neema, but that didn't cover half of the new price increases she insisted on.
Possibly worst of all we learned that Ken had been pushing Neema lower and lower on her price, while asking us for more and more money. When we asked him what he felt he did to deserve the $825 cut he took for himself, he said something about booking the one hotel we stayed in during our trip.
Our experience with Ken was one of: 1) misleading us to believe that he would be leading the trip; 2) never once mentioning he was reselling our trip to an extreme budget agency; 3) lies about early cost increases of the trip and sticking us with the bill of the actual increases; 4) theft of our deposit money (he still refuses to return it)

Best Safari
We recommend everyone www.hellotanzania.com for the proffesional activity.We went in Mikumi safari for just one day, they understood us for the budget at our limitted time.It was great:the driver was very good, i felt save with him; he takes us from the hotel and back.During 6 hours from Dar es salam to Mikumi we laughed with the driver, we spoke a lot with him about Tanzania, he was great:)
And the safari was great- 6 hours in the safari with a good guide and a lot of fun.We saw many animals:lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, monkeys, hippopotamus, etc.
Thank you www.hellotanzania.com!

Excellent experience!!!
We recently got back from Idube Game Reserve in Sabi Sand in later January and had the most amazing experience. The staff was accommodating and so friendly, the food and accommodations where 5 stars, we saw the big 5 a few times over and were so close to the animals, Rob & Mark were knowledgeable, friendly and great to spend 4 days with. Marianne went above and beyond to ensure we had the best trip. She was extremely responsive, friendly and put together a once in a lifetime experience!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

3 fantastic, informative days
I had little time and so a 3 day tour was all it was possible to fit in. They were packed with interest - even the days we were travelling to and from the Murchison National Park. We saw so many animals and stayed at the very comfortable Fort Murchison Lodge (good food!). The Guide was very responsive checking in to flex the programme with whatever I needed/wanted. I recommend this tour!

Gorilla trekking with a great and experienced gorilla trekking company.
I did a 6 day gorilla trekking and wildlife with gorilla tour booking. This was my first time to do such a trip and to visit Africa; I would like to say that gorilla tour booking safaris is a superb gorilla company. This is based upon my judgment about how the tour was organized and how I was treated by the guide, Robert. Their team is quite organized from the reservation manager to the tour guide.

Customer service on a whole new level!
We initially made our enquiry via the Kruger Park website and received a very quick response from Giada. From that moment on she worked tirelessly to deliver an itinerary which met our brief exactly and as this was our first safari, offered excellent advice to ensure we were making the right decisions. As I am based in China, Giada and I often spoke at rather anti-social times for South Africa and regularly on weekends - she made herself available at any time to respond to our (many) questions. Following our booking, Giada kept in regular contact to offer advice and then throughout the trip she ensured everything was running smoothly. I can honestly say that it was one of best examples of excellent customer service I have ever experienced from the start to the finish and Giada was able to not only deliver an amazing itinerary but also pre-empt and anticipate our questions and concerns. Thanks to her hard work and determination to ensure she met our brief, Giada created the trip of a lifetime and I would have no hesitation in recommending her and the team.
