A dream becoming realitey!
This experience was increadible!! More than I could ever ask for!
When we landed in the airport Michael was waiting for us outside with a big smile and warm hugs. He fixed with our luggage and had water already prepared for us in the car (the whole 12 days trip was filled with these small beautiful details).
While he drew us to the first hotel that night, he told us about the country and answered all the questions we had. Since we were a group of Spanish speaking people, he fixed a Spanish speaking guide for us, that he made sure was amazing, which he really was! James Ringo.
The whole safari experience was incredible! We saw everything we wished to see! All the big 5 plus the rest of the wild life you only thought you would see in TV.
All the hotels that Michael had arranged for us were perfect with delicious food and top quality service.
We felt safe and extremely happy during the whole trip!
Michael kept in touch with us all the time to make sure we were doing fine.
If it was possible to rate cape dog safari with 6 stars, I would have done so!
Amazing, amazing, amazing!
I strongly reccomend you to choose Cape dog safari if you're going for a safari in Tanzania!

Amazing!!
We had an amazing trip with a group of 8 people. Our tourguide was really nice and we had a lot of fun together. The accomodation was good and cosy. In the evening there was a big campfire, which we enjoyed. During the gamedrives we saw a lot of animals. The driver drove quietly, so we could take beautiful pictures.
The mailcontact was really good. Grassrootz responded quick and gave me the right information.
Thanks for the amazing experience!!

What an incredible experience
We enjoyed a spectacular weekend in the Maasai with the help of Sheeqs Safaris. Service was great and all of our needs were met. Our driver was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible. We had an overall great experience with this company and would use again in the future.

Amazing experience
We did an 8 day safari in Kenya and could not be more pleased. Our driver (I'm probably butchering the spelling) Undolo/Gordon was fantastic. He knew just where to go to see certain things that were hard to find and because he had friends everywhere we went he was able to quickly get tips to show us tons of animals. He'd get a call on the radio, take off towards the location of the tip and moments later we're seeing a family of lions, cheetahs, leopards, etc. If you're thinking about doing a self driving tour, don't do it. Beyond getting terribly lost out on the dirt roads of rural Kenya there's no substitute for the knowledge and experience of a professional guide.
We spent a lot of time on the road going from place to place which wasn't ideal but was necessary as our tour covered quite a few different places in the country. Covering all of that distance meant we got to see certain things in certain areas that were only available there. You just won't see the whole big 5 in one park so traveling is key. Also, the differences in climate and terrain from one area to the next was unbelievable.
Here's our itinerary: Amboseli Sentrim Camp (1 Night), The Ark Lodge (1 Night), Samburu Game Lodge (2 Nights)., Flamingo Hill Tented Camp (1 Night) & Ol Moran Tented Camp (2 Nights)
Best part of this trip, it was a private tour so it was just us in a big safari van. It was our honeymoon so it was perfect that we weren't crammed in a van with a ton of people. Seeing other vans out there in the parks that were full I'm so glad we had a private tour, felt like being a VIP.
If we do another tour in the future it will definitely be with Tekko.

Magical experience!!!!
This was with out a doubt the best Family trip ever! I emphasize the word family because Michael Massonda and Cape dogs Safaris became part of our family or they made us feel part of theirs with their infinite attentions and hospitality! They put together for us the perfect combination of places and people for us to explore in the most exciting way possible all the wonders Tanzania has to offer! We take back home with us the most beautiful memories that we will forever treasure, and a true friend: the cape dogs safari family :) !!

Not actually delivered by East African Safari & Touring Company
we booked the safari with East African Safari & Touring Company but we learnt during the safari that we were actually with another companies. Apparently East African Safari & Touring Company does not have the TALA licence anymore and are almost bankrupt (at least this is what our guide told us). The safari was overall disappointing, e.g., we left Arusha very late on the 1st day (11am) and therefore we stayed less than 3 hours in Ngorongoro. We had to pay ourselves for the private campsite in Serengeti, despite was included in the agreed programme (we were later refunded once back in Arusha by the owner of the company employing the driver and owning the car), and this took a lot of time, long discussions with the driver and the parking rangers, two visits to the park HQ, etc.

Short 3 day safari with Hoppy
Sorry for the delayed review, my husband and I did a 3 day safari tour with Hoppy, it was a small group with another couple who were lovely to get to know and we still keep in touch with! The food was good and Hoppy was helpful and informative, not just about the big 5 but other wildlife around us, we got some amazing photos!

Amazing safari, everything was taken care if and best driver ever!
I booked a safari for myself and two of my friends visiting from abroad. We were picked up Nairobi early on a Saturday and drove straight to Sarova Salt Lik. Although it's quite a long drive, having a good driver who considers safety to be a bigger priority than getting faster destination made the ride way more relaxed. We stayed at an amazing lodge next to a water point in the middle of the park. Both the evening and morning safari were amazing, we saw all but the Rhine from the big five. Our driver was an amazing spotter and a great guy to have a conversation with. We did not have to deal with payments or anything else. Straight to the hotel room or dinner. All in all an amazing trip where we did not have to worry about anything.
