Could not have asked for a better safari guide than Steven.
The expectations were well beyond what was expected. A perfect trip and that was highly due to our Safari guide (Steven). I would recommend Steven to anyone that is looking to learn, have fun and explore.

Steven is an absolutely amazing guide. He really knows his animals and the terrain.
Our trip exceeded our expectations in every way. Steven is an excellent guide. He is extremely informative with excellent communication skills. Our entire family fell in love with the trip, with Steven and with Tanzania. No one wanted to go home.

Amazing wildlife experiences, great accommodation and an awesome Serengeti balloon ride.
The wildlife and scenery where beyond our expectations. Weather hot, but not uncomfortabley so; accommodation was both superb and varied, making the trip more interesting. Food was both plentiful and of a high standard, with service to match.
Transportation was very good, as was our guide.
Highlight of our trip was an awesome morning balloon ride over the Serengeti, which though it was expensive, was worth every penny. Incredible sights and sounds, and even for someone like me who really doesn’t enjoy heights, was a breeze. If you can afford it and get the chance - do it!

Great experience, great tour guide
All expectations met and exceeded. The tour guide was great and made you feel safe. lodging was very nice and price was right.
The extra activities where very over priced almost insulting. A one hour boat ride for $100 US.
Over all was great

Canadian Tour Company, professional & thorough
We found the Safari Partners using google- not many Canadian safari companies out there. I was a little apprehensive at first- since i didn't see very many reviews online. Well, Chris was beyond patient with me- answering my (many) questions and changing dates when needed. Emails were answered regularly, all paperwork was in order and everything went smoothly. From the airline they chose (safarilinks) to setting us up at Encounter Mara- it was beyond expectation. The camp itself was amazing- food, the service, the guides- we couldn't have ask for anything better. Chris & Staff... thanks for helping us make memories to last a lifetime!

Competent, flexible and responsive
Very well organized stay in Tanzania altogether. The Safari was a blast, my girlfriend and I enjoyed it thoroughly. We went on a 4-day tent Safari (and a Kilimanjaro climb, also coordinated by Transkibo) and the car, the food and the guide's skills were all satisfactory.
Transkibo was very quick to respond to email enquiries and also over the phone. All the employees we talked/wrote to used very good English, they also made sure they answer every single question I asked (I often get annoyed by people only answering some of the questions and thinking they're good).
When we decided we would prefer to switch the order of the Safari and Kilimanjaro climb they re-organized without extra cost. The drivers (both the Safari driver-guide and the taxi drivers) they organized were all very competent at their job and delivered us on time when it really mattered or got delayed for reasons that were not their fault.
Whan note in case this comes up with others: We arrived very late in the evening and cash payment of the amount remaining after deposit payment (the standard procedure) would have been inconvenient for the Transkibo employees. Therefore they recommended to pay this outstanding amount using a credit card via the website of MJ Safaris. After some clarification (that this recommendation was not a scam) I did this and it worked alright. It turned out MJ Safaris and Transkibo are sister companies.

Great experience, coordination and well informed drivers/ guides
I did the safari in Masai Mara as part of a bigger group. Very impressed with the positive energy emanating from all the drivers, cook and the team. Very switched on and well informed team - had a good chat about animals, conservation but also culture and current affairs which adds a great context to the experience.
And great commitment from the drivers to make sure we had many sightings of the animals. GHT coordinated minor hiccups with the accommodation in the campsite at Masai Mara swiftly. It's evident that it's a business with customers at the very top of their priorities making great overall impression and experience.

We only renting a car but the service was great.
We did a 3 week trip true Kenya and Tanzania in 2017 as backpackers. And therfore we needed a trustabel car whithout a driver. And therefore we needed a trustable car without a driver. Blue Mountain Trekking Safaris rented us that car for 4 persons and gave us some good advices and tips. We where very happy with that and have had a wonderful time in Kenya with their care. We didn't have any complaints. Because the elections problems in Kenya in 2017 we had to leave some days earlier than planned but also that was no problem we good leave the car at the airport where the owner picked it up him self.
