Astounding experience!
From the moment when we landed in Nairobi, we felt safe bacause we were under the care of Best Memory Safaris. They are group of people, that with full of commitment and fascination organized for us every step of our journey. Eric was our driver and guide. He was competent and amiable towards us. Together we saw: Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo East. We didn't felt passage of time, neither tiredness. At the end we arrived in Mombas, where we were relaxing at the resort by the Indian ocean. Isaac offered us additional excurisions and we took Mombasa tour, which we really enjoyed! Every place of stay were clean, well-maintained. Stuff was pleasant, kind and very helpfull. Food was very varied and always delicious. We strongly recommend Best Memory Safaris, because they deserve trust.
Bravo! Thank You for everything! :)
Above and beyond what we paid for
Simba Safari offers bespoke services. From the bookings and communication with Moses (director), the entire process was flawless.
The number of activities compared to the cost was unbelievable. Arnold our driver/guide was on time, very knowledgeable and the bluetooth speaker with the bird sounds was a bonus. The two game drives we had were amazing, we saw lions, leopard, lots of elephants, antelopes, buffaloes and giraffes.
The boat cruise on the Nile in the afternoon was quite refreshing.
The biggest bonus for me/our group was the comfortable van, I recommend anyone thinking of a Safari to consider Simba Africa Expeditions.

4 day safari
I went with my girlfriend on safari with Wakanda tours. Our cook and guide (godi and jakob) were amazing and took good care of us. We even had a private tour the first day, a surprise bonus for no extra charge. The lunch on the first day was made by a restaurant and was okay, but the rest of the tour godi cooked the food which was really nice. Also, there was plenty of water. They even arranged a big tent, since I am quite tall (1.96m). The amount of animals we saw was simply stunning. We saw a leopard, cheetah, lions eating prey and hyenas awaiting the scraps, birds, spiders, lizards, the great migration, zebras, and many more. The scenery was amazing. If you are in Tanzania, please do not skip this. Wakanda tours is a reliable and high quality option. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for options.

Highly recommend Nature Responsible Safari!
Fransisca was super patient with all our questions and arranged a fantastic itinerary. Emanuel, our guide, was very knowledgeable and a pleasure. We saw a ton of amazing wildlife and treated to a taste of local culture, all in a respectful, 'soft-footprint' manner. Our 12-day trip absolutely exceeded our expectations. Nature Responsible Safari Company is top notch!

Fantastic Safari
This was our second time using All seasons safaris and it was fantastic once again. They are very easy to communicate with and provided an excellent itinerary with great accommodations and excellent drivers and vehicles. The value for the price is unbelievable! I would not hesitate to recommend this company. Thanks for another wonderful experience.

Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania; Mountain Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi and Safaris in the Serengeti
Our trip from pre-booking until our return was meticulously managed by Pasqua Lorna. She made sure we got to experience everything we wanted, and checked in on how we were doing before, during and after the trip. 11/10 would recommend!
We stayed in Mutanda Lake resort in Uganda which is an incredible property, with caring staff. The lake is unbelievably peaceful, and something that will never be forgotten. The gorilla hike was a short drive into the mountains, and an amazing experience. The guides went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and felt safe at all times.
Our driver from Rwanda, to Uganda and back again was Ronald. He was incredibly knowledgeable and a very nice person to spend the 3-day trip with. He’s a very hard worker, punctual and made the long journeys enjoyable.
We did 3 safaris in Tanzania. The first was in Tarangire National park, the Serengeti and the Ngorogoro Crater. For all we stayed in Tortillas Camps. I can’t speak highly enough of the concept, company and staff here at Tortillas. It was truly incredible being able to stay in these luxury tents in the middle of the parks, surrounded by animals. We felt safe at all times, and the staff were incredibly helpful.
Our guide for the entire time in Tanzania was Earnest. He is very well connected among the guides, and always got the tips on where the animals were at from the other guides. A true veteran, he consistently would find spots, favorited by specific animals, which allowed us to see every single animal the Tarangire, Ngorogoro and Serengeti parks had to offer.
If there was one thing I could suggest, it would be exploring the Tarangire National park during a night drive. If I’m not mistaken, this is the only park you can do a night safari, and is when the animals are most active. Then carry out day safaris in Ngorogoro and the Serengeti. Other then that, I cant speak highly enough of Matoke Tours and all of their partners. It was a truly unforgettable experience, and wouldn’t have been possible without them.

Unforgetable safaris
It was an amazing wildlife experience. We made day and night game drives and despite of the drought and being the end of the dry season, we could make water and mokoro safaris in a beautiful place with very few tourists. One of the highlights was to see a mother cheetah with a group of 8 young cheetahs. It was amazing! We also made a walking safari where we saw lots of animals that we didn’t expect to see. It was a great experience to feel the natural environment of these animals.
The ambiance of the camp was very exclusive and the staff, the guides, the accommodations, the food were absolutely fantastic.

Amazing 3 day safari
An absolutely incredible 3 day safari! We went to the stunning Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and saw so many amazing animals in such a short time, including all of the Big Five. Our guide Lewis was knowledgable and friendly, and our chef Hilda was an excellent cook and excellent company. Loved it!

It was perfect. We got everzthing we expected and more.
It was perfect. We got everything we expected and more.
This was our first Safari, therefore, we shopped around quite a lot. By accident we discovered Nature Responsible Safari. We had them in the race with 10 other companies.
First response was very fast available. Then we started adapting the plan to our needs and budget (we have not been on a super high budget, by the way). Fransisca, the owner, was very attentive and responded fantastically to ALL our questions, doubts and fears every time within 24h. Never any question unanswered and any answer with double meaning. Every option was explained properly, no matter if expensive or cheap.
It also seems that Fransisca is working close with the local communities to ensure tourist money stay withing Tanzania and benefit the locals. It seems she concentrate especially of including women into the work space.
We can not tell how much money really flows into the local communities, but we did not had any doubts any time. One thing was very clear, Natural Responsible is not one of these massive international companies and therefore we have been sure that the money will stay around Arusha. That was the goal all along and we believe from all we have seen, that this is really the case.
2 month before the actual trip we started communicating by Whats Up which made things even more easier. Kudos for that!
No problems at all with the money transfer beforehand !!
Our Guide Emanuele was a star. He adapted 100% to our needs and tried to make the trip as much comfortable as possible for us. We have seen every animal we ask him for.
He gave us our proper space and free time and we never felt any moment uncomfortable. He gave us willingly insides into every day life routines, problems and advantages. We believe with that information we could make us a good picture about live in Tanzania and put things into perspective, which we have seen as undoubtedly different to European life.
Summary: Everyone was to the core professional! Always again! Thank you very much Nature Responsible. Keep doing the things you do.

Saw four of the Big Five
I had a great time here when visiting with friends.
The drivers really knew where to find the animals, so we were treated to seeing lions snoozing at lunchtime and elephants frolicking in the lake in the evening. Throughout the rest of the day we saw all the other animals except from leopards, which apparently are only visible in the rain when they climb trees.
Accommodation was perfect. Lovely lodge with a welcome fan. Food was excellent. A fantastic packed lunch and I can highly recommend the pumpkin soup, which recipe I took home with me and made some myself!
