We recommend Lelaa Tours.
It was our first trip to Africa,everything went smoothly from my first contact with Eric, who is so professional, answered my many queries promptly and organised an excellent Safari for us, until our final farewell at the airport. Our guide, Francisco, was personable, knowledgeable and super good at finding the animals. He was a very safe driver. All our accommodation and meals were of high quality (we chose a mid-range Safari). The vehicle was comfortable and we did not experience any mechanical issues despite the rough terrain. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. If we were to return to Tanzania we would use Lelaa again. Highly recommend.

Just perfect, more than I expected.
It was just perfect. Much more than I expected. It was well organized. Our driver, the guide Ezekiel was absolutely amazing. He was patient anytime, showed us everythink and has a fantastic knowledge about the nature, all the animals and their habits. The food was delicios what the company's chef cooked us who come with us until the end. I absolutely recommend Suricata Safari, we will definetly come back and will choose them again.

Best or all time
We did a 2 week tour trough Uganda with "Dav Safaris". Everything went really well: airport pickup, round trip through Uganda, game drives in Queen Elisabeth and Murchison Falls National Park, gorilla tracking and chimpanzee tracking all perfectly organized. The vehicle was very clean and well maintained. Spontaneous requests and program changes by us during the trip were no problem at all. Our driver had an enormous knowledge of the animal world and knew exactly the right places where there was something to discover.
Thank you Altezza
Thank you Altezza, for organizing the trip and answering to all my questions through Whatsapp and thank you to Omari, an amazing guide with 22 years of experience and who managed to achieve the target of seeing the Big 5s during the wet season !
I really recommend Altezza Travel, they will do everything they can to make this moment magic ✨✨✨

Worth it
When my son and I decided we wanted to check Africa RF our bucket lists, we decided the best way to do it would be to go on a Safari. We are experienced travelers, but we had no clue what we were doing in this case. I found Safari Bookings through a Google search and requested three different quotes for a 3-day budget Safari. I received all three quotes within 24 hours and prices were very comparable. However, only Axis Safaris sent a detailed description of the entire itinerary, information on COVID requirements, and pictures of the accommodations. Lennox reached out through WhatsApp immediately, and answered all of our questions very patiently. He was very accommodating, as I had to change the dates of the trip three times due to problems with airline reservations (when will this COVID madness end!). Our guide was Richard. He was also very patient and accommodating as we were all being picked up and dropped off at different locations, and we had little ones in the group. Richard was very knowledgeable and educating. We didn’t just see animals - we learned a little bit about each and every species of mammal, bird and plant we encountered. Thank you for the great experience!

Worth Every Penny
Our honeymoon trip to Tanzania was amazing. Two weeks split between national parks & Zanzibar gave us a nice mix of adventure and relaxation. Herman Kiriama was our guide for the safari portion. He was extremely knowledgable (wildlife experience), accommodating, and easy to get along with. My wife & I highly recommend Herman! We saw all of the big cats and one rhino from a distance (+LOTS of other wildlife). We went snorkeling on Zanzibar and saw a lot of sea creatures. The food was good- there were US/UK options and Tanzanian-inspired dishes. Lodging was excellent. The money transaction process was easy enough. I highly recommend you consider Earthlife Expeditions.

Very friendly and excellent service
In October 2020 I went with Impelisa Travel and Tours Ltd. to Ruaha National Park. My driver and guide was Omary who had a good knowledge of Ruaha NP and knew where to find the animals. On top of that he is a very friendly guy and a good and careful driver. The accommodation Impelisa chose for me was very comfortable and the meals of good quality. We spent 3 days at Ruaha NP, 1 night in Iringa on the way to the Park (very interesting stopover) and 1 night at a beautiful farm (close to Morogoro) on the way back to Dar-es-Salaam. Alltogether the management of Impelisa Travel and Tours did an excellent job and I can highly recommend their services which are affordable and well worth the money spent.

Unforgettable Safari
My friend and I booked the "5-Day Come in as Guests Leave as Family" safari with Lennox & Axis Africa Safari. Lennox was very responsive and answered my many questions timely. We joined 6 other people, for total of 8. It was a good mix.
We paid a bit extra for JEEP, and I highly suggest jeep over van (I have experienced both). The safari was a good value. Our guide was JACK. JACK was knowledgeable of the area, animals, and history. He was accommodating and flexible as needed. He also helped to obtain PCR test.
I highly recommend Axis Africa and JACK for your safari experience.

I met Ajay in Bandipur. He was very kind and professional as a trekking guide. I have been to Annapurna regions many times, and Bandipur is one of the most beautiful places.

Truly a once in a lifetime experience
All-in-all, our safari was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Robert was very helpful from the time we first reached out, to help us arrange for the perfect 5-day safari and additional activities of interest we wished to do - visiting the Masai village, taking a hot air balloon ride over the vast Masai Mara and exploring the gorge in Hell's Gate.
Upon reaching Nairobi 5 months after the planning process, Robert was continuously checking in with us and promptly arranged for transport from our hotel to the Karibu Safaris office - last arrangements were done promptly and we were good to go.
We were lucky to have an entire pop-open-roof van to ourself for the entire trip as well as an amazing driver named Edward, who made our trip extra special. He was very considerate to our requests and interests, such as showing us the best local food places (we're huge foodies and had a goal of trying as many local foods as possible). He even arranged the chefs at the hotels to prepare local dishes that were on our list, as well as set up a birthday surprise, cake and a song for my girlfriend's birthday during the safari - it was a fun experience sharing these special moments with the locals and enjoying a piece of cake together. And what's most important - he had an excellent eye for spotting animals - he'd point them out in the grasslands, and we'd actually spend a while to see and photograph animals that we would not have even noticed ourselves. We had the fortune of seeing 4 out of the big 5 - except the elusive leopard. But that is just one more reason for us to go back someday.
If you're a foodie, like good company and a good chat about the local life in Kenya - do ask for Edward to take you around this breathtaking country :)
See you again soon, Karibu Safaris, Edward and the elusive leopard! :)
