amazingly organized, professional, friendly and flexible--superb!
I worked with Frank Mella for about 18 months in preparation and production of the Global Kilimanjaro Bowl where we brought, and he handled, 194 travelers from the US and Mexico. This 17-day tour/event involved many facets which provided monumental challenges for him and his crew, and they handled them all with a casual professionalism rarely seen anywhere, in any business. They took care of every element from safaris, to Kili summit with 134 persons, American football game, training sessions, community service work, transport, meals, and on and on. Whatever I conceived, they handled, offering throughout some insightful suggestions on how to best make things work in Tanzania. It was simply amazing what they did!

Excellent choice for booking your safari.
Ute highly recommended the Kapama River Lodge and I'm very glad I followed her advice. The rangers were knowledgeable and forthcoming in accommodating guest requests. The wildlife was splendid, the food was diverse and so I spent some thoroughly enjoyable days at Kapama. Thanks Ute for providing all necessary input.

Amazing Experience!
Climbing Kilimanjaro was just amazing. Alphonce and his team made sure that we had everything we needed. He went above and beyond what we had initially agreed to. He made sure we got picked up and dropped off at the airport, chauffeured us around the city when we needed something, booked our connecting flights and even treated us to a nice meal upon the completion of the climb. He is honest, trustworthy and I would definitely recommend him.
The climb went so well that I also booked a safari through Alphonce. Again he made sure that we were well taken care of. The guide/driver was extremely knowledgeable and made sure we had a wonderful experience.

This was an incredible experience from start to finish -- all 10 days were packed full of adventure!
Paul Tamwenya was our guide, and Paul was instrumental in making this an adventure of a lifetime! Our family of 10 persons (4 adults and 6 children) spent 10 days touring Uganda -- and we all loved every day and every activity organized by Paul. The accommodations were safe and clean with delicious food, the vehicle was excellent, and Paul brought us to the best possible places in Uganda for sightseeing! This included an exciting day with mountain gorillas and a separate visit to chimpanzees in a state park. We loved Uganda and we are grateful to Paul for making this an incredible holiday that we will always remember!

Amazing experience with incredible customer service. Safe, clean, and a lot of fun!!!
I must say i was a little hesitant of the whole situation when first looking to book but I cannot speaker higher of the people at Hello Tanzania. My wife and I booked a 2 day tour in Selous with them for the beginning part of our honeymoon and our only regret is that we did not book and even longer stay. The communication and customer service leading up to and throughout the visit was absolutely incredible. Everywhere we went there was a driver waiting for us to safely get to and from airport/ferry and they were very friendly and knowledgeable to the point of each drive being a mini tour in itself. The areas outside of the airports and ferry terminals are extremely hectic so knowing the transportation was already set up was huge for peace of mind. The Lake Manze camp they set us up at was stunning and the food was outstanding. The guide drivers went above and beyond to make our short time memorable and comfortable with anything and everything we needed and we were able to see just about every animal the game reserve has to offer. I also highly recommend doing a breakfast or lunch out in the "bush" as it was truly a unique experience. We will absolutely be returning at some point for an anniversary trip and will without doubt be using Hello Tanzania. Amazing company, amazing people, amazing experience!!

An amazing, once in a lifetime trip for our honeymoon.
Would definitely recommend this company to our friends and family, Kathi was fantastic at sorting out everything for us and nothing was a problem. Communication was fantastic, and our trip was planned exactly to our needs.
While on our honeymoon we had a brilliant time, and everything was planned to perfection. We did not have to worry about anything, everything had been organised for us it was fantastic. All of the places which we stayed at were super and made us feel so welcome. We had a fantastic honeymoon and really loved South Africa particularly our safari. Thank you Kathi.

Amazing first safari
I had an absolutely amazing experience during my first safari with etrip. Couldnt have been more satisfied with both the service and arrangements. Came in from China more than 24 hours delayed to Nairobi and almost missed my connection flight from Wilson where my trip would start. I sent email to Ben and Aurelie on my way down and they kept contact and tracked my detour until I finally reached Nairobi. They did their outmost to make sure I felt calm and make all possible changes so I wouldnt miss any of the experience. Including to find and take care of my lost luggage and making sure it arrived safely to the camp. I really appreciated the personal and friendly treatment from both Ben and Aurelien. I can strongly recommend etrip to everyone who are planning their first safar tripi. You will be in safe hands for sure.

Great Company - Great People
Overall we had a really good experience with Gosheni - Peter collected us and dropped us off to the airport - we were well looked after when we were there for the 10 days. We changed the itinerary once or two and Peter and Zaddock were very flexible and accommodating.
Price wise they were very good and would not be beaten compared to the other operators. The jeeps were well setup - with power and beanbags supplied as well as a small fridge and cold drinks and water all day long . Really comfortable and enjoyable to travel in. Everything worked out really well now . Highly recommended.
Peter is very good re communication and organising everything

It doesn't get more real than this
RedAfrica hosted us with great care and service orientation. I wanted a real experience and, from the people to the safari tours, I can say I was fully satisfied. No manicured lodges and bush, no perfectly traced routes, we really went into the wild and experienced great things. Our dinner by Oliphant River, the river safari and the daily outings all contributed to make this a memorable time.
On a personal note, we enjoyed spending time with Jaco, the company's owner, Geo and I.P. Jaco went above and beyond to make sure everything worked fine, driving countless hours, always in great mood and sharing his knowledge and love for nature. Dankie!

Professional service, nice staff, no stress
The safari at Selous was well organised, we enjoyed all our stay. The staff was professional, flexible and paying attention to our needs. Hippo camp, on the Rufiji river is a beautiful place. We really enjoyed the sunset boat safari. The park is very big and game drive lasted the entire second day. The walking safari was also very good, with an excellent and entertaining guide. I definitely recommend Kanuth Adventure Safaris.
