A once-in-a-life-time-experience with Peace Matunda (5-days Safari and stay at the Orphanage)
We did a 5-days Safari in the end of January with Peace Matunda and also stayed two nights at the Orphanage. Peace matunda is a small, familiar company, owned by people from Arusha and with a part of the money they support a school and a orphange.
We really enjoyed the time so much, it was a once-in-a-life-time-experience! The best of all of course was the Safari, we loved it a lot! Thanks to your great guide we saw so many animals, even animals we did not expect to see (lepard, gepard, rhino)! We slept in a “houselike” tent with foldaway bets and on nice campesides. Its basic, but comfortable. In the car we were only the two of us, what is a big plus compare to all the other companies.
The chef Kaaya was really helpful during the booking, cause we were quite short in time and answered quickly. He also gives you some advice, if you need, about which tour, national park or trips would be best for you, for the time and to see the animals and also about the payment. Our guide was really friendly, his knowledge about the animals is amazing, he knows also a lot about the area and you can talk about political things. He is doing it for 19 years and it was really interesting all the time and you can ask him all your questions. Our cook was very sweet, he asks you about your preferences and he puts a lot of effort in his work. He is really creative and the food was delicious and different every day. The guide and the cook were always on time and you can trust them with everything. They all know there job very well, are very serious and perfect for a fantastic safari experience.
After the safari we stayed at the Orphanage. Kaaya and his wife are working hard to support the children; they are really friendly, open minded and honest people. The children are really sweet and showed us around in the small village. You can tow walking trips at mount meru or trips to coffee farms or villages. I had fever for two days and in that time Kaayas wife and a volunteer helped us so much, we are so thankful for that.
All in all the team of peace matunda are great and we can 100 % recommend them :)

Great Botswana and Zimbabwe Safari!
Had a great safari experience with Malcolm. We had a set itinerary however due to weather we had to change locations which Malcolm re-arranged with ease for us. Locations were varied and remote including Hwange and Chobe National Parks. Malcolm arranged our vehicle hire which was brand new and well equipped and also lead us through immigration check points without hassle. Our first safari experience and looking forward to seeing more of Africa.

Excellent! Highly recommended!
We went to 2-days Selous safari with Gecko (from Zanzibar). Everything was great! Excellent service, much better than we could expect (even when we found out it's a real problem to print the booking with flight tickets in Zanzibar - asked Rama and they printed everything for us and brought us with the pick up to the hotel; when we came back, and it was really hot, the transfer to the hotel waited for us with wet towels for refreshment; really outstanding service!). Everything was fixed and well organized, had not even one issue with anything. Thank you very very much! From our experience - you are the best in Tanzania!!!:)

Surprised by the allure of the wild life and the care and information provided by the guide.
Spectacular safari! Seeing the birds and animals in their natural habitats was fascinating and I was intrigued by all the details the guide was able to convey on animal groupings and habits. The guide brought quality binoculars, which were a big plus. If there were many on the journey, it might be advisable to bring one’s own. For accommodations, I sought comfort and cleanliness (not luxury) in scenic settings and was pleased by the company’s arrangements. I did a 4-day trip to Lake Mburo and Queen Elizabeth National Parks and in retrospect would have preferred an additional day in Queen Elizabeth Park vicinity as most of the first and fourth day were spent driving. Though it was super interesting to drive through towns, villages and countryside, it was a lot of driving time. As a woman embarking on a solo safari, I valued the opportunity to make the journey with a woman guide. And I was impressed by the proficiency, responsiveness, attention to detail and fun loving orientation of the company and the guide.

Review about Golden Gate Highlands National Park by Alan Crawford
Golden Gate National Park is based in the northern reaches of the Drakensberg mountain range and the Maluti mountains and is a great destination for hiking amongst high sandstone rock formations. The park contains wildlife found in the mountains of South Africa. A visit from here to the Drakensberg mountain resorts is also possible.
