Amazing Kilimanjaro trekking
Not only does GideonTanzania Safari organise excellent safari experiences, they will also facilitate trekking on Kilimanjaro, through their connections with Kili Heroes. We cannot fault their service and support: their communications were always quick and the information provided comprehensive, they provided attention to detail. We had an amazing time and an experience we will treasure, but we could not have done it without the team of people who were right behind us. And when one of us had to go down early, they were there with their support all the way. Thank you for a fantastic time!

So wonderful gorilla watching!
We had a one week trek to see gorillas in Uganda and Congo, and it was really breathtaking! It is a unique experience and everything went really fine thanks to the team.
Our guide (Ceasar) for the week was really friendly and efficient. If we had small requests, he was always trying to fulfil them. Jackie (with whom we booked the tour) was kindly phoning regularly to inquire whether everything was fine. It was like being with two more friends.
Definitively something to try!

Excellent 5-day tour with 2 gorilla tracks (one in Uganda and one in DRC).
We had a 5-day tour with Katona with 2 gorilla tracks (one in Uganda and one in DRC). Both were amazing and different. Jackie was extremely helpful all the time with fast replies, accommodating all our needs. We felt safe during the trip. The guides (Ceasar and Chibe) were great. We only wish we had an extra day in Goma to climb the volcano.

What an amazing experience in Kenya and Tanzania!!!
It was a stunner of a trip with Wildebeest Safaris
1) Accommodation - We stayed at 5-6 different accommodations every day (Mara Eden, Mara West, Bush camp etc.) and each and every accommodation was one better than the other.
2) Food - Me and my wife are vegetarian and we were wondering if we will have enough food options. Fortunately, we did ate plate full. Although, the packed food that one takes for lunches can be improved.
3) Tour guide - Both Denise and Mike made our gaming experience absolutely worthy. There knowledge, experience and above all the passion for what they do was visible throughout. We saw all the big fives from just a hand away; like I could pat them if I wanted:).
Overall worth every bit!!
Things to avoid - Masai village trip
Must carry - Binoculars

Well organized and customer oriented
Me and my family did a two day Safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro National Park. Since African Travel Tour is a very small organization I was directly in contact with the managing director and owner Abraham Akyoo. The communication with him was very smooth and he organized everything we requested. Another plus was the price-service ratio. African Travel Tour offered the best price because they organize shared Safaris which is more fun anyhow, because you get to know people and you are not alone in a big car. One minus, which all the agencies do, they bring you to these fancy tourist shops where you can buy highly priced crafts which usually cost a portion of it. Otherwise me and my family were happy to have booked our trip through African Travel Tour.

We have completed a Safari tour with Magical Retreats and Adventures and are very pleased.
We have completed a Safari tour with Peter form 25th to 31st December. He has been very helpful and courteous and taken us to Amboselli and Masai Mara reserves.

An experience we will treasure forever!
Our 7-day, 6-night safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti with Danford (aka “Dannyboy”) as our guide was the most memorable and spectacular experience of our lives. After weeks of thoroughly researching our options for a relatively affordable safari (not camping, but also not high-end luxury), we chose Worldwide Safaris and requested Danford.
Danford was an extraordinary guide! He not only had an uncanny ability to spot wildlife from a distance, but also could knowledgeably answer nearly every question about the animals that we threw at him (and we indeed had many questions). Danford navigated the dirt roads in the parks like a pro and knew his way around the vast landscapes, at times offering help to other less experienced guides. Moreover, he was simply a pleasure to be around and his sense of humor and jovial personality raised our level of enjoyment to new heights. We experienced many long laughs together and had many interesting conversations sharing our cultures with each other. We still keep in touch with him. Do yourself a favor and make a request for Danford to be your guide. You will not be disappointed.
In Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, we saw lions, prides of lions, lion cubs, leopards, cheetahs, cheetahs eating their kill, giraffe, elephants, baby elephants, rhinos, hippos, wildebeest migrating, zebra, buffalo, and much much more. I’ve attached photos of wildlife that we took while on our trip. Our vehicle had charging ports for our camera batteries, an adjustable open top which was indispensable for wildlife viewing, and was well stocked with bottles of water. Danford also brought along a superb pair of binoculars that we were able to use whenever we desired.
As for making all of the arrangements, Ernest was quick to reply to our messages and willing to work with our many requests to come up with the perfect itinerary and accommodations combination. For example, since we were arriving at Kilimanjaro Airport mid-day after having overnighted at a hotel in Addis Ababa, we figured we would be well-rested enough to make the 2-3 hr drive from the airport to the Tarangire area even though most travelers overnight in Arusha first. Ernest had no problem modifying the itinerary.
We stayed at Sangaiwe Lodge (Tarangire), Tloma Lodge (Ngorongoro), Mbugani (Serengeti for 2 nights), Mbugani Ndutu (Serengeti) and Olea Africana (final night). All were great (I will review them separately).
Again, this was an incredible experience made possible by our guide Danford and Ernest with the logistics. If we go back to Tanzania, we will be using Worldwide Safaris.

Experience of a Lifetime!
We were so happy with our stay at Impodimo Game Lodge. The food, accomodations and our guide were remarkable and we would totally recommend this place to friends and family! We miss our scenic views of the elephants at the watering hole from our balcony and fresh coffee :) Our guide Ruin ( I hope I spelled his name right) was a SUPERB driver and very knowledgeable about the wildlife.
A special thanks to Justin Perumal at PaperJet Bookings who recommended this place and answered all of my questions swiftly!
