6-day fly-in safari
Overall, we had a great first-time safari with TravelPartners. Arranging the safari from London was very easy - I was able to tailor our itinerary over Whatsapp and email quickly and efficiently. We paid half upfront by SWIFT transfer and the rest on the ground. Be aware that taxes can be added on to credit card payments, so cash is better.
We flew into the Serengeti on effectively our own charter flight, which was fabulous! We were then picked up by our driver in the Central Serengeti and managed to see a live cheetah kill in the first hour! Our jeep was great - a Landcruiser with a pop-up top. We spent the next few days in the Serengeti seeing all of the big 5 (aside from the rhino) and chasing the migration. We didn’t quite get a river crossing (it was a bit late in the year for that), but had amazing experiences chasing leopards around in the rain and listening to hippos grunting outside our mobile migration camp in the Northern Serengeti.
We drove out of the Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater, where we saw (at a distance) a black rhino - finally! Our accommodation was mid-high end and was therefore pretty impressive.
The national parks have strict clock-in and out times, which we were unaware of, and this affects how much time you can spend in them on safari, so it is very important to ask for this information up front. As a result, we had an extra day of safari time which we wouldn’t have been able to use if we had not negotiated (while on safari) to include Lake Manyara national park - which worked out well in the end.
As you are now not allowed to go on walking safaris in the Serengeti, you spend a lot of time with your driver, so it’s important to establish a rapport. Anderson, our driver, was very knowledgeable and accomodating. When asked, he was able to offer up lots of interesting facts on what we were seeing.
All in all, we had a great safari experience covering more or less the entire Northern circuit. Flying in saved so much time, allowing us to fit more in. Thank you to the team at TravelPartners!

The answer is Yes...
If you are like me, you are nervous about finding the right tour operator at the right price, online, from a distance. You are wondering if this is the right selection on both needs, price, trust and commitment.
The answer is that yes, Wamba Safaris is the right choice. Hands down, contact them and you will have no regrets.
Immanuel has the best and fastest response rate I have seen. His prices are fair, the itinerary flexible, service top notch and experience...simply the best. The destinations, routes and lodges are great. This company knows what they are doing and their main goal is getting it right for you.
Stanley was our guide....knowledgable, courteous, flexible. He knows what he is doing, where he is going. An absolute pleasure for the week. We saw and experienced more than everything that we hoped.
This was my third safari, with a third safari company in Uganda. Wamba was definitely the best.
Would I go with Wamba Safari when I return? Absolutely and without any hesitation, yes.

safari
I am writing my recent autumn break journey to Tanzania. I had amazing and awesome time in Tanzania. Oh my God. I wish i could stay there in Tanzania more because the treatment i go was no more than a chief guest in a huge function. Thanks to mori tours and Safari for organizing my trip, everything was so perfect. I got unforgettable memory in my life concerned Tanzania because Tanzania people a so lovely and they do real care about people, love and nature. Good enough i learned a little bit swahili language and Tanzanian culture. We went 5 days mt. Kilimanjaro climbing and trekking marangu route and 8 days safari ( lake manyara, Ngorongoro plus Zanzibar). We got a time to see among BIG 5 animals. Happy that we found mori tours and Safaris, who treated us life families. Highly recommended to all travelers to organizing safaris and trekking with mori tours and Safaris.

They exceeded our expectations.
As first-time travelers to Africa, we had many questions, and the team responded patiently and with details to all our questions. Our guide and driver was one of the most knowledgeable and friendly tour staff we have ever met - we were sad to leave him. We recommend Travel Partners to anybody wanting to do a safari in Tanzania. Our expectations were high, and they were exceeded!

AMAZING 9 day trip from Mombasa, through Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Maasai Mara
WOW. Where do I begin? We decided to go to Kenya on whim and picked this country for a safari primarily because of our love for the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust which is located right outside of Nairobi. We wanted to do a longer trip where we would see a lot of different parks and animals so I decided to book with Kenya Espresso Tours only after reading a bunch of reviews on TripAdvisor and Safari Bookings. The cost and the itenerary we chose looked amazing as a whole package and - without realizing it was rainy season in Kenya - we came in March. Actually, I'm still in Kenya as I'm writing this review. Once we wired our deposit I was still unsure of how this whole trip would turn out. I looked at all of the hotels where we would be staying prior and couldn't believe it. But suffice to say the trip was INCREDIBLE and our driver was so lovely and sweet - Joseph. He met us at the airport in Mombasa. My bags got lost so he delayed our safari until they were delivered - which was great. It was just my husband and I on the trip - which made it that much more special. And despite the common rains, we actually escaped the rainiest week the week prior landing on March 23rd and staying through March 30th. The weather is incredible and we saw SOOOO many animals. From lions to cheetahs to giraffes in Tsavo. Then elephant herds in Amboseli. More lions and cheetahs in Maasai Mara and even hippos. I would recommend - if you go on a safari - that you rent a safari lens as the pictures I've captured are unforgettable. We asked Paul, the owner of Kenya Espresso, if we could modify our itinerary to visit the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust on our last day, and he easily accommodated us (which ended up being the highlight of our trip). Also, I must add, our trip was delayed a week due to a passport issue and Paul didn't even charge us extra for delaying the safari. This was a lifetime of a trip and if you are thinking of using any tour company or going to any other country I HIGHLY encourage you to come to Kenya and use Kenya Espresso Tours :)

Great Safari and company.
My husband and I chose this company to coordinate our honeymoon in Tanzania and it was the best decision we could have made. The trip went into detail making sure that every single aspect of our trip was exactly what we wanted - it felt like a truly tailor-made experience.
They guide came to pick us up from Kilimanjaro airport with operations team and gave us a briefing on our trip. We were already so excited! everything went perfect. Every hotel that our trip designer recommended was beyond our expectations. Among other hotels, we stayed at the Serengeti heritage tented camp while on safari and the Hilton Double tree in Zanzibar. Both were stunning and the service we received was incredible.
I would 100% recommend this company to anyone looking at a private African safari.

Excellent service and provides an experience that I couldn’t have imagined.
The safari tour was an amazing experience. From the knowledge of the guide, to the animal sightings and the accommodation, everything was faultless.
