From Lion encounters to feeling a part of a herd of elephants with babies, to bungee jumping and a breathtaking zip line over the Victoria Falls gorge. Safaris, boat cruises and helicopter flights over the falls and wilderness to spot game. 7 day adventure ill never forget, thanks to Chris and Oscar with Zambezi Expeditions.

SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY!
We had a terrific guide named Ian for a five day safari of Taragire National Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti. We became close friends and he knew where all the game was. We spotted elephants and male lions every day, along with the all the big game including a rhino charging a water buffalo, a cheetah with her cub, hippos, and 25 hyenas, some with blood on their necks from a fresh kill. Every day was a new adventure including hanging out with all of the guides, once everyone else was asleep in their tents, drinking with them and telling stories. It was a trip full of memories.
In Zanzibar, we stayed at Sea Cliff Resort on the northwest side of the island. Again, all the transfers went smooth and everything was taken care of. This resort was a slice of heaven for sure. The bars/restaurants were great, the two infinity pools, the pier to watch sunsets, the spa, the food, the service. We also booked a few excursions with the hotel - to Prison Island and a tour of Stone Town. Also on the actual evening of my birthday we paid the guy who originally picked us up at the airport about $80 to take me all the way out to the northeast side of the island so that we could have dinner at the Rock Restaurant (if you've never heard of it, Google it, trust me). The drive is about 90 minutes and he sat there for 2 hours and waited in the van while we enjoyed the scenery and dinner. That was $80 well spent.
In conclusion, I can honestly say that this was probably my favorite trip yet. That is saying a lot because I've taken amazing trips to Cambodia, Iceland, Brazil, Peru, French Polynesia, New Zealand, etc. etc. I've been all over...and this was one of a kind.

Great safari and very friendly staff
All in all, we had a great trip, here a few highlights:
Staff: All staff at Parrotsafaris was extremely friendly and helpful. I had doubts booking a safari online, but given I was not in Nairobi physically, I had no choice. However, the team made me very comfortable with the transaction, by showing me proof of legitimacy of the transaction in several ways, even up to the CEO giving me a call. Joseph also helped me a lot to accommodate my special requests (e.g. being picked up along the way), and gave me advice for how to travel to Narok.
Safari: Even though it was low season, we had a fantastic safari and Eric, our guide, helped us see a lot of animals, including three lionesses killing a buffalo, which was then stolen by a pack of hyenas, lots of elephants, wildbeest, zebras and giraffes, and even two cheetas.
Accommodation: Miti Mingi Eco camp was also great, it was a wonderful experience to fall asleep to the sounds of nature. The facilities were comfortable and clean, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate any special requests from our group, incl. veggie food, a guest fasting for ramadan and thus having breakfast at 4am, icecold beer, etc.

A great experience that i would totally recommend!
I went to Kilimanjaro with Altezza Travel. It was my first time in Africa, first time on such a height and all this alone. The trip was quite a spontaneous one - nevertheless, thanks to Altezza team everything has worked out perfectly - from the first contact and consultations till the flight back from the Kilimanjaro airport.
Altezza is a team of professionals with local guides, and they really take care of Every aspect of your stay in the hotel (thanks for those tasty breakfasts!), staying available/connected in case of any issues on the spot, providing you with excursions so you don't get bored and of course - everything during the Kilimanjaro climb. Guides, porters, the incredibly positive chef (!), all the equipment and instructions have been just top! Thank you so much, guys, for this incredible and truly unforgettable experience. It's been almost a year and miss Africa so much.

Great safari experience
David was recommended to us by Mara Serena hotel, in which we stayed with a friend while visiting Masai Mara. David picked us up from the airport upon arrival, drove us to Masai Mara and did game drives with us. It was super convenient as we did not have time to plan ahead of our trip. As we were super happy with David, we extended our booking by a few more days, and went with him to Lake Nakuru Park.
Overall, we had a great experience with David. He is very knowledgeable about all topics, be it safari animals or Kenya politics. We truly had super interesting conversations. On top of that, David went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, and always proved flexible, timely, and helpful.
Would recommend Native Africa Trails and David to anyone, and would definitely use their help should I come back to Kenya. Thank you again !

Great trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Altezza Travel
We recommend Altezza Travel for safaris to the Serengeti and to Ngorongoro. They went out of their way to tailor a trip for us to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and it was fantastic.
The guide/driver, Bakari, was professional, exceptionally knowledgeable about everything, and he is one heck of a good driver. Bakari is a natural at finding animals - he was so clever. We're amazed at the variety of animals we saw at close range.
(We spent nearly 25 days on safari in Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe, and we saw the same amount of animals but more variety here in Tanzania with Altezza in a far shorter period of time.)
The accommodation was beautiful and overlooked the savanna.
Our trip with Altezza was so good that we'll return and spend more time on safaris with them. Tanzania truly has it all and we're fortunate to have selected the best safari company with the best guide!
