Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
When my parents came to visit my girlfriend and I we decided to use Tanzania expeditions based on having a great experience climbing Mount Meru with them the year before. They were equally good this time. Our 3 day safari was well organised in advance with good communication from the team before booking and the safari itself was smoothly led by our driver/guide Emmanuel. We actually had the most phenomenal safari - with more activity and sightings in 3 days than in many previous safaris put together. It was pretty incredible! The choice of tented camps was great and Emmanuel's approach of being knowledgeable when asked things but appreciating when just sitting and watching was called for was appreciated. Great service and highly recommended now for safaris as well as mountain trips!

Excellent safari experience and good communication!
I booked the safari experience with Peter at a short notice of about 1 month and with some changes etc he did manage to provide us with what we wanted. There were a few bumps along the way but Peter was always very accommodating and excellent in looking after us. All his staff were very helpful and knowledgeable as well.
We did Masai Mara Reserve, Lake Nakaru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Parks.
Highly recommended genuine company and person.

Excellent!
Deep understanding on what they are offering. Pretty well organized and accurate. Staff know the route, sightseeing and local costumes. If I ever have the chance to go back to Uganda, I would not doubt to book my trip/safari with these guys!

fascinating safari
We did a six-day-safari starting in Nairobi covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We saw all the important animals including cheetah, leopard, lions galore, black and white rhino etc. According to our wish the driver dropped us at Diani Beach. The driver/guide was very friendly, knowledgable and always punctual. He was very good at finding and spotting animals. We liked the tented camps very much, especially the Flamingo Hill Tented Camp at Lake Nakuru. Maybe the only downside were the long drives, partly much longer than anticipated, but altogether we had a great time.

Remarkable Safari with Base Camp Tanzania
I have used Base Camp Tanzania for two safaris and believe they are the best in the business. Their expertise ensures you will have the best possible safari experience. My most recent safari was in November 2016 and included days in Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Thanks to our guide, Thomas, we saw an incredible number of animals. His spotting skills are phenomenal and he was able to anticipate the movements of the animals which led to great positioning for viewing and photos. Highlights included seeing the wildebeest migration, lions on the prowl for water buffalo, and lions mating. A tented camp was recommended and spending three nights in the middle of the Serengeti was nothing short of amazing!
Achmed Phillips, the gregarious company owner, met with us before the safari to review the itinerary and afterward to hear all of our safari stories and share some of his own. Laughs are guaranteed with Achmed!
I highly recommend Base Camp Tanzania!

5 Days in Nature
I traveled to Uganda for a five day experience. It was fantastic. We had a private driver to take us across the countryside, he spoke excellent English, was always positive, a safe driver, and informative. Each day had the right mix of adventure and time to relax. Saw the chimps in Kigale, safari'd in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and of course could almost reach out and touch the gorillas in Biwindi. The food and service at each place that we stayed was top notch. Thank you for such a well planned vacation!

Uganda – a wonderful experience
After having visited many of the Southern and East Africa countries we now wanted to visit Uganda. First we consulted some tourist guidebooks and then we got in contact with Harriet at Matoke Tours. She helped us to design a two-week trip for four people aiming for mid-range accommodations. The trip included Munchison Falls NP, Lake Albert, Kibale Forest with chimpanzees, Queen Elizabeth NP, and passed through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, and ended up at beautiful Lake Bunyoni for a few relaxed days after many miles on bumpy roads. The trip was fabulous, we had a good 4wd vehicle driven by a skilled driver and we visited excellent national parks with exciting animals abundant. The lodges were of mid-range, all very pleasant and all in different styles. We met with a lot of very friendly people. We strongly recommend Matoke Tours and Uganda to anyone interested in exploring new places and wishing to enjoy extremely beautiful nature of Uganda and game driving. An extra bonus was all wonderful fruits and vegetables that we enjoyed during the journey (we almost turned vegetarians during the trip).

Very good Safari, excellent guide!
We enjoyed our private safari from Arusha to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro in 8 days as a family with two children (10 and 8 years old). We stayed 6 nights mainly in tented lodges.
Overall it was a fantastic and wonderful experience. Our Driver Guide (Hilary) was very knowledgeable about wildlife and good places to spot animals, an excellent driver and a very nice person. He was also very understanding with our children who also liked him very much. When our children were not feeling well, our guide was very flexible and adapted the tour program to accommodate their needs.
The car was in good shape and always in clean condition.
Based on our experience, we would warmly recommend Furahia as a safari tour operator. Furthermore, we appreciated that the company is under local ownership and runs its own social programs.
