All expectations fulfilled!
We chose Benson because he responded very professionally and timely to our requests through all planning stages. We were two couples travelling together for 13 days. Our itinerary was rather complex and included climbing Mt Hanang and Mt Meru, safari in Tarangire and Serengeti. This required several drivers, cars, guides and porters,and a lot of travel by car. Yet everything went according to plan. Everyone was friendly, and thanks to the guides' knowledge and assistance we reached mountain peaks and gained deeper understanding of both people and animals in this wonderful country of Tanzania.

Incredibly helpful service & fun 5 day Treehouse stay!
Andre was super responsive and helpful as I planned my solo trip. I chose the 5 day safari at Marc's lodge. The treehouse stay was amazing and you're right in the bush! If you have dietary restrictions, I would bring your own snacks but you also have opportunity to buy food and snacks on the tour. I made great friends, saw the Big 5 and loved the experience. It was really valuable to experience all three places - the Tremisana game reserve, Kruger (only one day here) and the private game reserve - because I now know how I'd like to plan my next safari. I recommend booking with Safari With Us!

My dream trip come true !!
Everyone involved with Matoke Tours was very friendly and helpful.
I chose the trip that included seeing the gorillas three times over the span of 9 or 10 days..... in Rwanda, Congo and Uganda. I could not have had a better time. The gorillas were up close and personal, to a degree. They did not touch us, but they were fun to watch esp. the babies. I highly recommend this trip if you are a gorilla fan. Also the accommodations and meals were very interesting.

Fantastic Day
We had a great day! We saw many animals in Mikumi National Park. The drive is quite long but worth it.

A real wildlife experience 5-days Mokoro Moremi Tour
Me and my husband really enjoined our tour, guides were excellent, both Jonah our mokoro guide and our Moremi guide, calm, knowledgeable and nice. What we probably appreciated most was the ability to walk around our Mokoro camp, together with our guide. As we are keen birdwatchers, we valued our guides' birding skills very high.
At our Moremi campsite, we witnessed a pack of wild drogs catch and kill an Impala, just in front of us.
Food was good, general service was good.

Amazing wildlife!
We definitely enjoyed our Safari with Frank (our guide and driver) and Sokofo (our hard-working cook)! It was great to see all the big 5 within the 5 days and we really enjoyed camping in the wild. We would not have traded this experience for any luxury lodge - hearing the hyenas and lions outside of your tent at night was just a thrilling experience (totally safe, no worries!)!
The Safari was not conducted directly by Kenya Budget Safaris, as (as we were told on site, but not before) Esther always seems to work with this partner in Tanzania. This was a bit of a surprise to us in the morning of the first day, but we did not mind.
The car was in good shape, our tents and mattresses were comfortable enough and the food was ok. (Warm meals, especially dinner were great - the lunch boxes really weren't good and we got a bit sick of always eating the same things that were in the boxes after a few days...but again: we were in the middle of the wild, and every piece of food needed to be taken there from the towns, so it was fine.)
Frank managed to show us a lot of animals and did a lot to always make sure to get close to them, once he had spotted them somewhere far away. It was a pity that his English wasn´t so great - we were able to have basic conversations, but were a bit disappointed to not be able to learn more from him, about the nature, the animals, the people. He was a really kind guy, though, and we could see that he was doing his best to make us happy.

No mountain too high; No no limits, we’ll reach for the sky!
Tanzania Climbing Outfitters made the trip an amazing experience. Thanks to all the helpful porters and guides we managed to reach the next camp every day, resulting in a beautiful sunrise at the summit of the Kilimanjaro. Next to all the support from these guys the cooks managed to give us very tasteful meals three times a day. After climbing the Kilimanjaro we did a 4 day safari tour to Ngoro Ngoro and Serengeti where we with the help of our driver and guide managed to spot all the African animals we wished for.

The experience was awesome, fantastic and very interesting.
Madi made all our arrangements that turned out to be perfect in every sense. Simon really "made" our safari adventure in Kruger with his enthusiasm and eagerness to show us the animals and birds, knowledge of animal habits, cooking ability and great personality. We couldn't have asked for a more meaningful adventure. It not only lived up to our expectations but far exceeded it. Would recommend it without hesitation to anyone. First class service and experience!
We should also mention that Madi additionally made arrangements for us in Victoria Falls and Cape Town along with various pickups to and from airports. All worked exactly as scheduled and was done with class. What more could anyone ask!
