Truly an eye-opening and memorable experience for one to encounter.
5/5

I had a great experience with the Backpacking to Africa agency; they truly lived up to their expectations and even went beyond to ensure my safety, welfare, and satisfaction during the entirety of my trip.

Excellent organization, great guide
5/5

I do not speak English well so this will be a short review. Sorry if i make mistakes because of english. Everything was great. David (the manager) always responded on whatsapp in real time. Everything was very clearly organized. No problems or difficulties arose at any stage.
Guide Simon was wonderful. He knew a lot about any animals, birds and plants. He looks more like an Oxford ecology professor than a regular guide.
Kili Slope has far exceeded my expectations.

Tanzania trip
5/5

Tanzania was on our bucket list for a very long time and we are happy that we could tick it off. We landed in Tanzania on 20th and the vehicle was ready to pick us up.
We were welcomed warmly and we were taken to our accommodation in Arusha. We were very excited and anxious as it was our first time in Africa . We spoke to the manager Mr.Benson and he explained the whole tour plan. We felt really safe with our guide who was very informative and he knew everything in and out about Tanzania and it's wildlife. I would like to mention that Trip Quest organised the safari perfectly and are a very professional company. I would recommend them to everyone who's visiting Tanzania. They are affordable and organize amazing safaris.
Thank you Trip Quest

5 star operator and services
5/5

I work in kenya and i need to go for a safari before i return to my country!Paul helped plan our entire safari even during this season of COVID 19 when we thought of cancelling our trip he assured us that all the necessary measures will be taken for our safety during our trip. He responded to every email within 24 hours. We had many questions, requests, and customization for this trip and Africa Starpal delivered. All activities and accommodations we wanted for our safari were included making for a full itinerary of all experiences we sought after. Communication and organization is top notch. I would highly recommend Africa Starpal Tours & Safaris(K)because all of the thinking and planning was taken care of so we could focus in the upcoming trip.

My plan was on short notice,
But these guys managed to organize for us a quick and brief itinerary for 4days to gorillas and lake Bunyonyi.
People here are nice and country is green.

My best vacation ever.
5/5

In 2019, my family and I vacationed in Tanzania.
We had booked the holiday a year before via Mega Adventures Travel Ltd.
I dare say it is the best vacation we have ever been on.
We visited 4 national parks:

- Tarangire
- Lake Manyara
- Ngorongoro
- Serengeti

And after this huge experience, we ended up climbing the “light” part of Kilimanjaro. Also a very great experience.
Tanzania is an absolutely amazing country, with a population that is very friendly and welcoming.
When traveling in other parts of the world, one thing struck me right away:
The population consists of approx. 35% Muslims and approx. 30% Christians and approx. 35% of other religions or combinations thereof, but as the only place in the world, people live and work side by side in peace and tolerance. Here, even marriages across religion are seen.
I can definitely recommend Mega Adventure Travel Ltd.

Even if they require prepayment ☺

There is also the option of Danish-speaking service when booking ☺

Amazing experience. Extremely efficient. Always went that extra mile and beyond all my requests
5/5

After comparing dozens of safaris operators, I have chosen Beacon and had a wonderfully amazing experience with them. Robert was very efficient in organizing my solo, private 11 days safaris, very attentive and extremely responsive to my requests, questions and demands. Eric the guide and my travel fellow during the safari was extremely helpful and efficient, never tired, always willing to go further. Ask for an animal and he'll find it...We saw leopards 4 times in 6 days of our stay in Maasai Mara. Lions ...every single day, with our best record of 25 lions in one single day: two prides of 13 and 8 and two hunting pairs of lions. Witnessed twice the, never to be missed, Mara River zebra and wildebeest crossing, including 3 crocs preying on wildebeest. Saw even 4 white rhinos at the same time grazing together...Just to name few of the many sightings experienced with Beacon safaris. While sighting wildlife can never be guaranteed, if there are chances to spot it in an area, Eric will find them. Perhaps I'll hardly be able to improve these records and the amazing pictures took there, soon to be available on IG, but I know which is my favourite safari company in Kenya for the years to come. Left Kenya leaving many friends for life there in all the lodges and campsites I stayed and places we visited. Asante sana to all of you !

Unforgettable Safari
5/5

My wife and I met Daniela and Bariki at a fair in Germany.

We immediately noticed their enthusiasm and commitment. So we have booked a safari for August 2020 as part of our honeymoon.
We received great advice and Daniela took the time to answer all of our questions (and there were a lot of them !!!).

Then the corona virus came and it has not been clear for a long time whether we could start the journey. The airlines have canceled and rebooked flights, but Daniela gave us great support! She went to the airline offices in Tanzania and stood up for us!

So we were able to start our trip DESPITE Corona and had the most beautiful vacation of our life!

The safari was well organized and we had the freedom to adapt the daily schedule to our personal wishes. The accommodations were also very nice! Hygiene regulations were observed and we were never afraid of a possible infection. We felt safer in Tanzania than in Germany.

Our intermediate flight to Zanzibar was canceled again 2 days before our departure and, strangely, our data could not be found in the airline's system. On the day of our departure, Daniela and Bariki again did a great job for us in the airline's office and organized a new flight for us without any trouble.

My wife and I can recommend Mamuya Safaris to 100% with a clear conscience. At Mamuya Safaris you get individual advice, it's cheaper than the competition and you get top quality.
German precision and African serenity are brought together by Daniela and Bariki in beautiful harmony and we felt very comfortable!

We hope to be able to book a safari tour again as soon as possible!

Superb Safari - Adventure of a Lifetime!
5/5

We have visited many countries around the world, but this was our first time to Africa. A Tanzania Safari is at the top of the definite must do ultimate experience.

Here's why Gosheni Safaris and Guide William are the perfect choice.

1) Tour Operator is Important.
After researching numerous safari outfits, we found Gosheni had the ideal and flexibly itineraries as well as the best prices.

Owner Peter put together a fabulous 8 day private Safari adventure for us. Locations included: Tarangire National Park, Lake Natron, Northern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. You can select a private or group tour, different levels of accommodations as well as a variety of activities.

2) Guide is Important.
We were very fortunate to have the best guide, William, who was an expert at spotting and knowing about every single animal and bird, as well as details about each area and the history. His driving skills were excellent, navigating very challenging roads safely and skillfully. William is multi-lingual and speaks perfect English. He is also the nicest person and always made sure that we were well taken care of. For example, William has great instincts and we saw two Wildebeest crossings in Northern Serengeti, over 50 giraffes clustered by the road while driving to Central Serengeti, a pool of 20 Hippos in the Seronera River, male and female lions while driving to Ngorongoro Crater... we could go on and on.

3) Vehicle is Important.
Husband and I traveled in a brand new 7-seater Land Cruiser. Gosheni has top of the line Safari vehicles with a pop-up roof, big windows, comfortable double cushioned seats, and wifi (they have USB ports or bring a type G electrical adapter). Jeep was clean every morning when William picked us up.

4) Meals are Important.
Gosheni safaris includes all meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They are also able to accommodate any food preferences. We are vegan and had delicious meals. During lunch breaks, we noticed that other tour groups had bag lunches, but Gosheni Safaris provided full course lunches served on dishes, including a tablecloth and cloth napkins, along with unlimited bottled water and soft drinks, even wine is you like. Special touches such as this sets Gosheni apart from all the rest. There are other amenities that we won't mention so that you can be pleasantly surprised.

5) Tip: bring lots of cash for tipping and purchases. US dollars have to be newer crisp bills. Many shops don't have credit cards machines, and even exclusive lodges are cash only as their credit card machines often don't work.
Bring smaller bills for tipping baggage handlers and larger bills for the general tipping jar at the lodge, and of course, at the end of the safari, tip your guide well as he works very hard.

Gosheni is the ultimate choice for the adventure of a lifetime. Be sure to ask for William!!!

Asante sana Peter and William!
