Short safari in Serengeti
I booked a 3 day safari with Hello Tanzania.
Apart from a few misunderstandings in the preparation phase, the travel was well organized. A driver picked me up from Zanzibar and drove to the airport where a small aircraft took me to Serengeti. The guides then picked me up and then we had a nice game drive. The camp is very nice and the staff is very friendly. Then on the way back I took the same flight and the driver picked me up at the airport and drove me back to my hotel.

Don't book!
The experience with this tour company was bad since the beginning. The communication by email didn't flow, and I always had to chase up Charles to get more information.
They offered me a good price for a 4 days camping safari, I accepted and rejected another tour operator (7wonderssafaris) that gave me a cheaper quote, because Charles seemed to have better reviews.
Charles asked me for a deposit a week earlier and the whole payment in cash the day before the safari, which I didn't feel comfortable to give because even the day before I had to chase up after him to communicate and he still didn't know who the guide will be or what time they would pick us up the next day.
Apparently Charles had another bigger group he would be guiding. This is understandable, but the guide we went with wasn't good. The other tourists complained that he didn't communicate anything with them. I was always talking to the guide and then passing the information to the rest of the tourists.
Even worst, to my surprise, it turned out that this guide was actually from 7WondersSafari !!!
So at the end I paid more to go with the company I rejected because they didn't have good reviews.
The safari itself was good, but the communication and service was deplorable. You can check what we saw here: https://ubuntutravelblog.wordpress.com/2016/10/07/safari-in-tanzania/

Nice 3 day getaway with different activities
This 3 day safari is nice getaway from Dar. The road from Dar to Selous is very good and not busy at all. Last 2,5 hours is a dirt road which is in good condition. In Selous we stayed in a nice and simple camp. The food is good as Nyasi brings his one cook. During the 3 days there are 3 different types of safari. By boat, by car and by foot, which is very nice.
Before the safari the communication is very clear and I didn't had any misunderstanding.
All with all a very good experience.

Excellent communication and delivered on promises from start to finish
From the moment we booked and until we headed home the team at Kruger Park Travel made life so easy and delivered on all their promises.
Having stepped off the plane from Cape Town we were looked after all the way, tour of Soweto was amazing, trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana eye openers, and many times mouth openers, with the Kruger the icing on the cake.
All accommodation was excellent, tours were fun from start to finish, I thought the itinerary of the 9 day tour is well put together and certainly allows you to enjoy your time and not worry about what to do next.
I found the whole experience worth every dollar we paid, In fact I was surprised at what we got for the money, action packed excitement!!
I would certainly recommend booking with the team and enjoy a stress free exciting holiday

Experienced, knowledgeable guides, great food, interesting and varied agendas.
The guides were friendly and helpful, knew the facts about the different areas we visited, spoke good English, always courteous and often had a good sense of humor. The assistants/cooks also participated in putting up tents, made good tasting and varied food and lent a helping hand whenever needed.
I would only recommend changing one or two camp sites, especially Dqae Qare San Lodge. It had no water & no electricity. We heard there usually is some problem while in that camp.

Our group had a terrific experience seeing more than 35 types of wildlife living in the Masai Mara.
I have been very happily using Elida Tours for groups from my church for 15 years. I have never been disappointed. I have always experienced excellent service provided to us by the managers, the drivers and the guides. Everyone has been very professional, very friendly, very personable and very knowledgeable. We constantly feel well-cared for and as if we were special to Elida. Making the booking and payment arrangements has been easy and smooth. The drivers are careful and very skillful. The safari guides know a lot about the wildlife and the parks. The safari vans are great for both off-road and on-road driving. Everyone in the organization is helpful, accommodating, serves above and beyond the call of duty and are of great personal character. You cannot go wrong with Elida. Each of my many trips with them has been wonderful. I am already looking forward to my next time with them.

Selous is great, good organized game drive in open safaricar, wonderfull boatsafari, good service!
We booked for 4 days Selous and 8 days at Zanzibar in both resorts Reef & Beach and Paradise Beach, the last one is the most luxury, but the first one has the most beautifull sea. Zanzibar is a wonderfull Island and we have had a perfect time, with in between the 4 day safari Selous. Transfers by flight in a small airplane, with exiting views. We stayed in Africa safari camp in a African banda with a perfect bed and own bathroom, great service, good food and nice people. The boatsafari and the jeepsafari's where fantastic, we have seen so many wild animals and swom in a hotspring during one of the game drives. We have enjoyed every minute of the beach & safari holiday. We will once come back for sure;-)

The very best Safari trip ever
My husband and I took the 7-day Lewa and Maasai mara safari with you a fortnight ago and WOW!!! The entire safari was phenomenal! Every camp received all tens from us!! The guides were awesome especially ones at the Lewa camp, they love what they do and we was utterly impressed by their knowledge and willingness to share with us. The entire adventure was memorable and amazing; the very cold nights at lewa safari camp made us spend late into the night at the fireplace as we listened to the lion roars and the ever-laughing hyenas. We especially liked the four nights at the sand river camp, this gave us a chance to relax and enjoy each and every moment. We saw hundreds of all the beautiful animals and birds. Thank you for all your hard work in preparing our itinerary. It was perfect!! With appreciation and gratitude. Your attention to detail was much appreciated, thanks a lot for making sure we had gluten free meals in all the locations---delicious!!!)
We will definitely be coming back soon and are sure to send many people your way.

Amazing Experience of a Lifetime
Eddy was wonderful, tailored a trip for us and our Canadian family that was enjoyed by all ages.
Everything ran smoothly, the wildlife was amazing, the food was excellent and evenings around the fire under African skies will never be forgotten.
