A lifetime experience that was organized & carried out perfectly
Esther from Estleon Adventures answered all our E-mails very promptly and was great in customizing our safari tour to our own wishes & itinerary. The selected hotels "The Cliff" in Nakuru and "Entim Mara" in the Masai Mara were both outstanding and very special on their own. The luxury tents very very spacious, beautifully decorated and at amazing locations. The staff was also very professional & friendly across the board.
Esther kept us informed throughout our trip and was conveniently reachable via WhatsApp, while our driver & tour guide Tom took the utmost care to make our trip a very personal and unforgettable experience. Tom was the perfect guide & company we could have wished for who went above and beyond to show us his beautiful country and to explain us all details about the amazing wildlife!
If you're seeking to spend a few days on an unforgettable safari out in beautiful landscapes without compromising on your comfort, seek no further and plan your trip with Estleon Adventures - and make sure to ask for Tom as your driver & guide!

Fantastic Safari with Soul of Tanzania - Special Thanks to Sandy and Edward
This was our 4th Safari and the 1st with Soul of Tanzania - we highly recommend Soul of Tanzania to anyone looking to go on a Safari with good professionals.
We did a safari through 3 parks (Masai Mara (Kenya), Serengeti (Tanzania) and Ngorongoro (Tanzania)) and we loved the experience - we got to see the Big 5 in Tanzania :)
Sandy was our Journey Planner and made a great organization and planning of the Safari, advised us about the different options and activities and was always very available and friendly in answering all our questions.
Edward was our guide in Tanzania and he was one of the best guides we've ever had, very friendly, friendly and with a great knowledge of the animals.

Nice view but poor guides.
We booked the Ndere Island Tour, of one day. Although the views were amazing, we had issues with the tour guides. We were on a boat for quite a long time and were very curious about Lake Victoria, but the guides seemed not interested in us and mostly kept to themselves, which was okay since it was early in the morning and not really part of the tour. However, we had to stop to pay parkfees to the Kenyan Wildlife Center, where our Hallmark guides started to argue with the employees about prices. We got a great but annoyed guide from the KWC and he showed all of us around on Ndere Island. Once again, nice views, but our own guides were having a vacation too: they made plenty of pictures of both the view and us, and seemed to be there for the first time. There seemed to be a rush and in high tempo we walked across the island at noon in full sun. Requests to rest or even look for more animals than the ones we bumped into were not taken seriously. Afterwards we asked to see hippos as they said they would do, but they laughed us off. Long story short, we paid a lot of money for our guides to basically have a tour too, next time we will just book at the Kenyan Wildlife Center and do without the Hallmark guides!

Professional experts and extremely friendly while well organized
We took a 5 day safari with Incredible Africa Adventures. An excellent choice as it is a Tanzanian tour operator, extremely professional with a great team consisting of a guide/driver and a cook that accompanied us all the time. Knowledgable guide, great driver that took no risks and was very respectful of the nature. The cook (King) for us was one of the top chefs we have had the pleasure of tasting the food. With minimal equipment created wonders for our taste buds! The guide/driver (Josef) was fun and knew how to make us comfortable and had great talent for spotting game. The head tour operator, Octavian, was a treaure too. Always in touch and prepaing things well in advance and managing it all very professionally while being very friendly. Price quality was excellent too. Helping Tanzanian company expand with a great team while getting a very good value for money made us all very happy and content. Thank you team, we saw great game and had a a wonderful time.

Breathtaking safari experience with Suricata
Amazing experience that one really needs to live through in person! The crew from Suricata Safaris really made sure that the whole trip runs as smoothly as possible.
Twalib a.k.a. Mr T, cheerful young fella, picked me up at the airport and dropped me of at the hotel. He was the first person from Suricata I encountered and he made sure I felt welcome to Tanzania and Arusha. I stayed at a Gateway hotel the night before and the night after safari. It's a decent, clean place, with just enough for those two one-night stays. It is centrally located, so you can easily access the local fresh fruit/vegi market and some restaurants on foot. Breakfast was included which of course came in handy. I was offered options to upgrade to more comfortable accomodations, however given that I only stayed in Arusha for those two one-night stays, I didn't find it necessary.
During the safari, we had an amazing team with us consisting of Rocky, our guide, and Action, our chef. They made our 5-day safari really complete! Rocky showed us the breathtaking nature and wildlife of Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangiri. He was full of interesting insights, sprinkled with humor. Action prepared us three delicious traditional Tanzanian meals a day, which both introduced me to Tanzanian cuisine and provided a good energy recovery after the long game drives. I was a solo traveler and a part of a fun 6-person group, that I can now hardly imagine this experience without! First 3 nights of the safari I camped, while the last one I stayed at a lodge. First and forth nights were at Twiga Lodge and Campsite, and if you're staying there, I'd recommend upgrading to a lodge. The campsite is just in front of the lodges on the lawn, and it isn't really a true camping experience since it is a part of a village in a dedicated, fenced area. The forth night (second one at Twiga), I asked Rocky to upgrade to the lodge and that was quickly made possible with a discounted Suricata price. Second and third nights were at Serengeti Seronera and Ngorongoro Simba campsites, and for those two, I'd certainly recommend camping over a lodge. It is truly unique feeling sleeping pretty much among the animals. During the night, the wildlife wakes up, and you can hear these unique sounds of nature. Hyenas, buffalos, hippos, lions and numerous birds, all communicating in their own ways. During these two nights, we had a chance to encounter hyenas, gazelles, waterbucks and buffalos right around our tents. We did stay up during our night at Serengeti waiting for lions, but they seemed too shy to show up that night and we were only able to hear their roars. Nonetheless, truly breathtaking! Disclaimer, for anyone that might be scared about sleeping at an unfenced camping area, I really felt safe during this whole time! There's an extremely low chance of animals attacking humans out of blue! Rocky also gave us useful tips in case of encounters and really made sure we didn't feel in danger. Essentially, if you don't do anything stupid, you're already good.
Arriving back to Arusha, Hilary, the owner of Suricata, greeted us at the hotel. He made sure the whole experience went without any problems. It was him I had the first contact over email while arranging and booking the safari. Even during that conversation one was easily able to spot Hilary's professionalism and dedication to his business. I wanted specifically to mentioned all the Suricata crew I met since each and every one of them really put effort into making this trip memorable.
The safari itself is absolutely majestic! No words, photos or videos could convey that vastness, that biodiversity, that beauty. I'd recommend anyone to go and experience this themselves, and on that journey choose Suricata as your operator!

Memorable visit to Serengeti safari Tour
When we decided to take a trip to Tanzania, we have many options to visit when we checked online and tried to find out a tour operator who can guide us the perfect place to visit and where not to visit.
We came across many when we try online. But when we send mail to asking help in finding proper package for Tanzania, the first reply we get from Mr. Bartho of Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris and immediately after few mails interchanged, he sent us the serengeti safari which also includes the Tarengire and Ngorongoro Crater in 5 days package.
We also shown interest in Kilimanjaro trekking for which he recommended and offered a day trip with very good price package.
We got very good Driver cum Guide Mr. Elia and a chef especially for our group of 5 members with a wonderful pop-up roof top 4X4 vehicle with window seat for all to enjoy the best view of wild life in all these National park for five days with free binoculars for the trip. He is very good guide with lot of knowledge about the park route and lot of information about the park, animals, birds and local tribes etc etc. No end.
From the Chef Mr. Solomon, All 5 days of the safari trip, we had very fresh food cooked freshly by the chef and he used bake bread using his own charcoal used oven designed by himself. very nice fresh bread in the breakfast you love it with honey, bread spread and jam. We thanks to our chef for his delicious food.
What else you need in a safari trips, very good spacious tents, hot water for bath in some places but some places we may need to adjust with cold water. Yes, in safari you may need to adjust sometimes little deviations. In the whole, the trip is out of the world able to see all animals expected and unexpected as well due to experience of the guide/driver Mr. Elia. Thanks to him.
The one day trekking trip to Kilimanjaro was also well organised with the guide Mr. Edward, we enjoyed the trekking even though we were not able to achieve what we suppose to but no regret we enjoyed the fullest with the proper lunch break as it was our fault that we were tired due to our travel schedule and not prepared well for trekking.
In Total, I strongly recommend Wakanda Serengetti tours and safaris
