It was a once in a life time opportunity for me and I was not disappointed!
The wildlife was great, got the opportunity to see all that I was expecting to see. Our guide was terrific, don't think we could have had anyone better, thanks, Gilli! The weather was wonderful. The accommodations were great, food was very good, although accommodating my daughters food restrictions were not as well attended to as I would have hoped. Overall our safari experience was wonderful.

The safaris and the landscape are very beautiful but the organisation is most of the time very bad
The safari's in Tanzania are really beautiful. And there is enough wildlife to spot. I had three joined safaris in every safari i met new and interesting people. The gids are well informed. Even through not every gids is a good chauffeur.
My only warning is the organisation. A lot of so told organisations are really just one guy with a computer and a telephone. And the drop you bij friends of them to fill up a car. That's not a big problem but there is no structure and organisation. So you have to ask every day multiple times with car you have to get and where you're going. Sometimes you find yourself getting in three day in three divergent cars and in every car other people.

Fun and easily customized tour.
This is a fantastic opportunity and very affordable way to see the mountain gorillas as well as every other animal you can imagine on a Safari

The best Safari company in Tanzania in my opinion.
My husband and I and two friends went on Safari with Parakuyo Safari and Tours and had the best experience ever. Meleck is very knowledgeable about the animals as well as the culture of the area so if you had any questions he could give you an answer. The service started as soon as we stepped off the plane at Kilimanjaro airport...there was someone there to help us get our visa so we didn’t have to stand in line, which was awesome after a long flight. The whole two weeks we were on Safari we were his focus, he would always check to see that we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying our time in Tanzania. We had decided before we left home that we wanted to do a balloon ride over the Serengeti, so Meleck made all the arrangements for that also...it was a highlight for us!! We also wanted to go to Zanzibar for a week after our Safari and again; Meleck arranged it all, flights and accommodations. If you have the chance I would recommend Zanzibar after a Safari, it was so nice to just relax before the long flight home. Meleck, Ombeni and Ibrahim are a great team and are now friends for life. We shared lots of laughs and learned a lot about each other and our cultures. I’m trying to convince them they need to come to Canada to experience our winters!! Thank you Meleck and team for everything you did for us, memories forever.

Great safari in the Okavango Delta
I booked a 6 day/5 night safari at 2 different camps in the Okavango Delta through Mark at Gondwana Tours. Mark ensured everything went very smoothly from the booking to the actual trip, and thoroughly answered all questions I had. The camps and the staff and guides were fantastic, and I had some great animal sightings. I was very with the experience and would happily book with Gondwana again.

Best Experience in Africa
Crystal Safaris is amazing - I saw both the mountain gorillas and chimps with them in Feb 2018! This has been by FAR the best experience I've ever had in Africa, and I've been to 15 countries on the continent! The staff is very friendly, and the are very efficient at planning/organizing tours. It was such a great & memorable experience, that I'm already planning my next trip back!

Excellent company - Trip of a life time
We picked Earthlife from seven responses for information I received from a recommended 10 companies I saw. Caudence was quick to respond with a very comprehensive proposal. She gave an outline of a potential itinerary and explained what we would see, with the suggested accommodation to review. We wanted a taste of Tanzanian's animals, landscape, culture, flora and fauna and that is what we got. We also wanted to visit the mountain gorillas in Uganda and she arranged that for us. Through a few prompt communications we completed an itinerary to suit us including a trip to the base camp of Killimanjaro.
Our driver/guide Aggrey was there to pick us up in Killimanjaro to start our adventure. He was so accommodating. It was a private tour for my husband and I so he was there to suggest, recommend and implement "the plan". He was an excellent driver and easily spotted animals that we never even saw. We had a fun time with him and there was no clock watching, he was there for us!!
The company was professional and very friendly. We even visited their offices for a pre and post trip briefing. Everyone made sure we were happy and we certainly were. We highly recommend Earthlife and have a life time of memories. Thank you.

Easy,Relaxed,Well organised Mara Safari
Booking process was easy as we also connected on Whats App and Maggie replied our many questions even at wee hours of the night. Expectations exceeded. Great safari, We saw lots of animals and a lion hunting down an impala. Great driver we had James who knows animals at his fingertips and was a plus for us as he spoke amazing Spanish which we really enjoyed.And our balloon flight was our safari highlight. Its an out of this world experience.
Accommodation at Sarova Mara Camp was Luxury and attention to details was given to our whole stay. Great food and everything was super -No complain at all.
Hopefully to come back for migration in August with our families and sample Bison Safaris services again.

Incredible trip!
Incredible trip!
Our trip to Ngorongoro and Serengeti was incredible! Everything what promised in offer was done. We saw so many, many animals,beautiful landscapes. Before we go, we worried a little, because 2years before we had trip with local operator, and we are not really happy. That why this time we choosed operator with eu management. The best choice! Sylwia - manager was very helpful and immediately understood ours needs. She prepared our trip perfectly. Thank you

Great tours in South Africa.
We have used Greatest Africa several times during our visits to South Africa. It's easy to communicate with them and always good suggestions and quick answers to our requests and questions. They have a very good software generating your itinerary with good tourist information.
Each time we take a vine tour with Rickard. Then we have come to very nice wine tastings at the best vineyards. We have also visited some very interesting cultural places of interest.
The hotels we have been booked at have been of the highest class and very varied. Central in Hermanus, where you could see the whales from the balcony. Nice vineyards, where you had very good wine and food. Far out in the wilderness, where the antelopes passed a few meters from the tables when we finished the dessert. Central in Cape Town, where it's very close to Waterfront.
I can really recommend Greatest Africa for a nice vacation in South Africa.
