Awesome travel with awesome group！
The safari of Okoa Africa Tours was extremely awesome! My friend and I joined a four-day safari in Arusha, Tanzania with one more German girl. We met a very good and very nice guide, Prayen, and a very kind cook, Victor. The services were very good, especially the meals, we were always too full to finish all the food. What I want to say is that, this was an unforgettable and meaningful experience. We saw lots of animals, experiencing camping on the wild and enjoyed beautiful views of the nature. To be honest, I really like Serengeti because we saw almost everything there!
Finally, I want to thank our guide, Prayen and our cook, Victor. I will not forget this awesome safari group!
It is certainly worth taking part in.

A good trip... but I did not see many animals in the safari
The communication with the company has always been very fast and kind and they provided me with all the information I asked for.
The car trip to Mikumi from Dar, even if it was long, was very good as the driver was very helpful and he drove very safely.
I went for the safari on the first days of July to Mikumi and there were almost no animals, so the safari itself was not very productive.
The lodge where I spent the night, Camp Bastian, was really good as the chalet was big, very clean and confortable. Also the staff were very friendly and the food really good.

Fantastic experience and we saw the big 5!
We knew we wanted to go on a 4 day safari and see Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorgoru crater but there are so many tour companies to choose from! Meru slopes had been recommended to us by a friend. Geoffrey replied to my enquiry within a couple of hours and after getting a few quotes from other companies, decided to go with him. He would always reply very quickly to answer our questions. Meru slopes was the cheapest quote we got but they also offer accommodation in a pleasant hotel in Arusha the day before and after the safari, with breakfast included. The tour itself was great. There was a change of driver on the first day, which meant an earlier start but breakfast was provided and we saw lots of wildlife around Lake Manyara. On the second day we joined a different group and Simon was our guide for the remaining three days. The tents were basic but what we expected and sleeping in the Serengeti and on the side of the crater was a unique experience! The days were long but we got to see the big 5 as well as plenty of other animals. Simon was knowledgable and had good communication with other guides so we knew where to go to spot the best game. Baracko came with us and was the cook and his food was delicious! We really enjoyed the trip and highly recommend it to others.

All the animals you could wish to see...ok perhaps not the leopard
My husband and I booked the 6 days Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Ambesoli Safari. We went budget as we were happy to downscale on accommodation in favour of affording to be able to safari for longer and have more days to see animals. Seeing elephants and zebras in their natural environment has long been a dream/ambition for me. I was not disappointed. Each park is different from the other. There are long drives between parks unsurprisingly as the trip spans much of the country. The trip was worth every penny and actually the accommodation progressively upscaled. Our final lodge accommodation at Ambesoli was actually luxurious. What did we see? Elephants, giraffes (Maasai and Rothschild), zebras, lions, buffalo, rhino (Black and white), flamingos, hippos, wilderbeest, crocodiles, all kinds of deer ( I forget the names), fish eagle, herons, egrets, kingfishers, mount kilimanjaro.
I would highly recommend this trip. Our guide Leonard was fun and knowledgeable. We were adamant we should be heading to Ambesoli earlier than he suggested to see Kilimajaro - trust your guide! It was clearest in the evening.
We tagged on a trip to the Indian Coast at Malindi which is completely independent from the safari -I would recommend a few days to just chill on the beach.

Excellent and very customer centric.
We have booked with Kruger Park for SA Safari experience in both Kruger National Park & and Sabi Sand. From the day we start planning to the end of our tour, Kruger Park travel representative Angela communicated and looked after us in an excellent manner. tour providers, Outlook Safari with Kruger Park and transport was great. private game reserve at Nkorho Ledge was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay there. Through out our Safari we have pretty much seen all the animals
I take this opportunity also to thank Kruger Park team, out look team, and to the Family at Nkorho Lodge, by providing us best experience on our tour.
We Recommend Kruger Park Travel to every one who is looking for future tours.

I had a terrible experience and poor customer service. My booking was mishandled.
I live in the USA, I asked my sister to book a 3 day trip to Masai Mara for me. She was sent an email with options. We opted for the promotion bornfire adventures were offering at the time. We were not give much details of the place, no brochures or the name of the place we would be staying. The email said "Masai Mara budget tented camp" my goodness! I have never in my entire life seen such a filthy place by name
"manyata camp" Molded tents, dusty beddings, stinky pit latrine welcome toilets,flies all over the place not to mention the filthy bathrooms. When I asked to be upgraded I was told to cancel my booking and start a new one paying at a 100%. I opted to check out soonest, I was told that was going to cost me because I was inconveniencing other guests in the vehicle. I had 2 small children, I was left feeling helpless and forced to put up with the crapy place for 3 day. When i complained, I was told I had a personality issue because nobody else had ever complained of the place. I have pictures of the place.

Really nice trip indeed
We've travelled with Safarihub last week in a safari in Tanzania. We covered some amazing places such as the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Tarangire and we were able to see a great variety of wild animals, views and landscapes that would leave anyone astonished with such beauty. I believe that all the amazing things that we've seen were only possible since we were travelling with Safarihub which has a great team and planned our trip the best way they could in order to provide us a fantastic week.

Nailed It!
Dream come true! Never could I have imagined there were lodges offering such luxury in "the bush". And LSC was able to not only direct us to such locations but cover every detail. Ground transport always on time. Reservations always accurate. Staff courteous and helpful. A+ across the board...

Glad We Chose Good Earth
Planing a once in lifetime Tanzania trip, I was very serious. I communicated with top 8 Safari tours together, and I end up with Good Earth!
Reasons:
1. They take my time seriously
Baraka replies emails promptly, answers tons of my questions patiently.
2. They are knowledgable
After Baraka found out my expectation quickly, he gave many wise advices.
3. They offer the Best Price
I sent my final itinerary to other companies to compare price. Good Earth beat others!
4. Their local staffs are helpful
Our flight was changed at last minute, their local contact Rose was able to reschedule a pick up seamlessly.
5. Tour Guiders are well trained
Our guider Eliaza's eye are better than my binoculars! We always surprised how could he see animals were there. I am sure he can recognize hundreds kinds of animals.
Eliaza always found the best angle to stop for my husband taking pictures.
He cleaned our car everyday, and gave us the highest comfort level.
It was very appreciate that he truly respected my mom during the whole trip.g
