An amazing bbnplace to Visit
We just got back from a safari in Uganda a family with 3 children aged 9,13 and 16 our guide was brilliant in all aspects we could have asked. To begin with,he was very knowledgable. He was nice,kind and knew how to approach all of us, and each of us, including kids. Thanks to him, and his experience, we had the chance to see not only the animals, but also some rare scenes such as hunting. All the administration went perfect, the car, the lodges and the food. Thank you Yaneta Safaris and the wonderful Team we hope to get back to Uganda and to you soon

This was exceptional experience full of fun and great moments for entire family!
The trip to Selous Game Reserve was well organised, the team led by Mr Joseph demonstrated great experience, dedication and desired attention; as we were a family comprising of three adults and three kids.
Mr Joseph demontrated right safari & tour expertise - short turnaround time for getting unique family package organised at reasonable cost; including travel, accomodation, meals, game drive and boat ride at Rufiji River - all with right touch just the way we wanted! Well done and keep it up...
Travel was smooth, Mr Thomas is a keen tour guide with right experience; driving was cool and used well his expertise. Game drive was great as we saw many animals - lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo and many others!
We had fun and wonderful experience..accomodation with river-facing view was facinating; it was worthy trip..we are all happy, relaxed and memorable moments with kids.
I recommend Tomodachi Tours & Safari, led by Mr Joseph, to others, no doubt!

The whole experience was spectacular!
The whole trip was planned beautifully by Axis Safari. Lennox was incredibly responsive and took care of everything including the pick up and drop off. Everything was organized to perfection. Our tour guide Richard at the safari was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. He made sure we saw practically everything. He was very familiar with the Masai Mara Reserve and ensured our safety and comfort. The tents and lodging was also great. The food was great too. I would highly recommend going with Axis Safari without hesitation!! Thank you Lennox for organizing such an amazing experience for us.

Camping and Safari at Moremi Game Reserve
I spent 4 nights on a camping safari at Moremi Game Reserve with Philemon and his crew. It was a wonderful experience. The Walking Stick crew is obviously experienced and prepared. I felt well-taken care of, and the camp facilities were above what I could have expected, with a large tent with cots for beds and en-suite bathrooms. Most importantly, Philemon (our guide and company owner) has extensive knowledge of the animals and the habitat. Even after having been on multiple safaris before, I felt that I learned a ton from him. He was great at tracking animals and keeping our game drives varied every day. He combined useful information with interesting stories from his experiences, and he also taught us a lot about the cultural context of the different peoples who were historically inhabiting the delta. I'd happily use his services again.

A first class tour operator who is very efficient and really cares about his clients.
We decided to choose a local company to go on a safari in Tanzania and selected BensonSafaris. From the start, Benson replied almost immediately to our questions, and was extremely helpful at every stage which gave us confidence in him and his company. Benson helped us to choose lodges and a tented camp for our accommodation and each place we stayed at worked well.
We arranged our own flights from UK to Kilimanjaro International and everything else was organized superbly by BensonSafaris. We were met at the airport by Zablon, and taken to our first lodge in Arusha. Benson came to meet us on our first day which was a really nice gesture and he introduced us to Peter who was our driver/guide.
The safari was superb! We had game drives in Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti (staying in a tented camp), Nogorongoro Conservation area and the Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park. Our guide, Peter, was excellent and he has the most incredible eyesight – he could spot... Read more animals that we could only see with binoculars! We saw the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant. rhinoceros (including a black rhino with a baby), cape buffalo, plus lots of other animals – cheetah, zebra, wildebeest, hippo, giraffe, jackal, hyena etc, and the birds were really colourful.
On the last day we went on a city tour of Arusha with Zablon, and the local market was fascinating. We had lunch in a local hotel and Benson called in to say farewell before we were taken back to the airport for our flight home.
We have no hesitation at all in recommending BensonSafaris – it is a small company that really cares. We went as clients and came away as friends.

Open Communication with a great coordinator
Peter was very helpful since the day one, and he answered all my questions openly. He even suggested the right schedule and I am glad that he presented me with the right plan. His whole motivation was for me having a good time and the right schedule. Everything went according to the plan, and I didn't have any surprises. Both my guides in Kenya and Tanzania were wonderful and I really enjoyed every minute of this trip. Peter, John (Guide in Kenya), and John (Guide in Tanzania) make a great team :-)

Perfect safari with the best guide ever!
Starting from the first contact by e-mail Godson Adventures surprised us with very fast and friendly responses to our inquiry. The offered tour was perfect for us and it was no problem to include our self-booked accommodations and the airport transfers we needed into the safari-package.
Godson picked us up from JRO and we stayed two days on our own spending time around Arusha. At the first day of our safari we visited Tarangire NP, which was a great start. Due to Godson’s driving and navigation skills we approached a water hole just one minute before three lionesses caught one solitary Impala buck and made him their lunch. Very impressive.
On the second day we drove into Serengeti NP, which was absolutely amazing. The overwhelming number of animals and never ending grasslands kept us standing up in the car for the whole day. Spending the night in a nicely equipped tented lodge made our stay in Serengeti NP unforgettable. After breakfast we drove through Serengeti NP back to Ngorongoro Crater, where we again had a nice safari day and completed the big five by seeing nine rhinos in total. Lake Manyara NP was the last National Park of our safari on day four. All of the four parks were different and unique, so our excitement level never went down.
Based on Godson’s experience and knowledge we saw the best places in and around the park and we made it to the right places at the right time. He is a very friendly and courteous person.
Godson Adventures is a very reliable and highly professional company that we would recommend to anybody looking for the safari of their lifetime.

Wonderful experience
We travelled as a couple and chose the 5-day Salous and Mikumi Safari
Since we were already near Mikumi we wanted to meet and start in Mikumi, which was no problem at all. The communication was very uncomplicated. We met Mwajabu at Camp Bastian as appointed and payment was more or less uncomplicated, despite the fact that some of our dollar-notes were too old, which was totally our bad. They then drove us to a nearby bank and we could pay the rest in Tanzanian Shilling.
The accommodations, Camp Bastian and Hippo Camp, were simple but good, the food was delicious (vegetarian food was no problem)! We really liked staying there.
On our safaris through Mikumi and Selous, we saw many animals and nature diversity was incredible. The Parks were not as crowded as other parks, we barely saw other safari touristsOur guides were very friendly and explained a lot.
We really had a great time in Mikumi and Selous and can totally recommend travelling with Hello Tanzania. If you don´t want to spend your money on an overly prized safari and if you don´t need to stay in 5-star-hotels, I´m sure you will enjoy your safari as much as we did.
Please keep in mind, this is Tanzania, usually not everything works perfectly, but eventually everything will work out.
