It was definitely one of the greatest experience of our lives!
Kiliholidays is a great safari agency! they have been reliable and honest. The car was exactly how I expected, spacious and with the "lifting-roof", and the tour was organized only for the two of us. One of the best experiences of my life so far! The guide was really helpful and competent, it has been really easy to establish a good relationship with him. Everything went without any problem and we enjoyed the wildlife and landscape of this wonderful place. After the safari we also met the operator manager, Mack: a really good man! We would definitely repeat the safari sooner or later!

A great guide to Tanzania
This was my second trip with Tanzania Destination Safaris, and I totally enjoyed both! Emmanuel has arranged everything in an effective and comfortable manner, and managed to meet all requirements we've set. He's also provided us with a good guide and team for Kilimanjaro and for safari. I recommend him to anyone dreaming of visiting this amazing country!

Efficient reliable service
Our South African Safari went very smoothly - our thanks to the attentive, diligent service of Kathi Simon from African Welcome Safaris.
Everything was handled professionally and cordially from our first enquiries until arriving back
to our hotel in Johannesburg. All went so smoothly - flights and accommodation - and the information which was emailed to us with our tickets was relevant and significant. The aftermath of a cyclonic rain depression resulted in our party being accommodated at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge instead of Sabi Sabi Selati lodge. Kathi kept us constantly updated with regard to flights in and out of the reserve and the subsequent unavoidable alteration to our accommodation.
Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge was fantastic. The suites were impressive - the food and service very good - and the game drives and daily activities well organized. We got to see many animals up close and personal. A truly exciting and extraordinary experience.

Thoughtful arrangement with super professional Guide
We have found Blue Safari at the last minute prior to the trip. They are very competitive in the quotation, compared to the other agencies. In the meantime, they are super helpful and willing to help us solve the Visa issues. in our country the visa officer requires a lot of formalities and strict information to be provided by the agency and Blue Crane staff, Derek Jacobs, is so kind and supportive to provide anything we need for the visa.
And the Cost is much lower than all the other agencies!
The trip proves that we have made the best choice ever! the schedule is very reasonable, allowing us to see many spots as much as possible. The accommodations are very nice as well, cozy and comfortable. and our guide, Raymond, is very experienced and professional, has a lot of knowledge. He has been cooking, driving and guiding for us all the time. Thanks to him we have a very pleasant trip.
Blue crane is very professional and i sincerely wish you guys develop better in the coming years!

Thanks for everything
We had a wonderful trip with Herman from Safarihub and visit Tanzania. Herman is a perfect driver and guide. He know very much about the wildlife and was great in spotting them. Very patiënt when we found some wildlife, no hurry and turned off the engine of the car to enjoy the animals. We learn a lot from him about the wildlife in Tanzania. With his Bird "bible" he show us the birds we have seen.
If you are a photographer like me, Herman interact with you to get the best shots. The car was clean and after a day in the dust, Herman cleaned it and we get a clean car for the next day.
Thanks to Safarihub we had a safari we'll never forget.

There is no better way to explore Tanzania's vast wilderness than under the care of Adventure Makers
Once you have made the decision to travel to Tanzania, you have already lined yourself up for some of the most memorable experiences in your life. This country is overwhelming in beauty, wonder, culture, and raw living. But you will not have to look very far for one of the best tour guides the country has to offer. Steve, of Adventure Makers Tanzania, is the full package. Whether you want to cross a few more off your life list (birding), or are in search of the big game, Steve’s your guy. He has vast knowledge of all fauna and their behavior; a true natural historian of the diversity of ecosystems Tanzania safari has to offer. If you’re looking for quite bird watching, he can hang all day. If you’re looking to be singing and listening to music for hours, he’s your guy. If you want knowledge on the predator-prey relationships unfolding in front of your eyes, Adventure Makers Tanzania is the one-stop shop. We stayed both in luxury lodges as well as camped in the middle of the Serengeti. Whatever experience you want, this group can accommodate. They bring a wonderful warm vibe with a playful sense of humor. This group is committed to you having a truly personalized experience and will work with you, in advance, as well as make spontaneous changes if the mood strikes. Adventure Makers is always prepared for whatever amenities you might need. Often there were other groups hitting our guides up for resources that they forgot or ran out of. Not Adventure Makers Tanzania, they are fully prepared for every trip. If you’re looking for an adventure and want to have a happy companion with vast knowledge, you will never be disappointed with Adventure Makers Tanzania. We had up-close interactions with all of the large game. We strongly encourage coming in during the rainy season when all of the animals have recently given birth. Adventure Makers have guides fluent in many languages; Steve’s English was perfect which facilitated in-depth conversations on the natural history of Tanzania as well as many of the tribes we encountered on our travels. Since much of Safari does often require a lot of time in the vehicle (to get to the best spots), having no language barrier really enriched the exchange. My wife and I are already dreaming up our next adventure with Steve’s group. It was the greatest vacation we have ever taken and can’t thank Adventure Makers Tanzania enough for making that happen.

Amazing Safari experience
We just came back from a 14 days Tanzania Safari and Zansibar beach Trip booked with "It started in Africa"
with wonderful memories and are very happy that we booked this tour. the trip was "custom made" according to own interests and special wishes and we received regular email responses to our requests and questions from the staff.
the best was certainly our driver who made our Safari a memorable experience and who always spotted animals from very far distance. we also had some unexpected experiences....for some travellers that might be annoying- we found it very funny, which sort of makes the special experience of such a trip (the car had a break down on the last day, but it s interesting to watch how a car gets repaired in Africa so quickly, or driving through a street full of water due to rain)

It was a highly professional team and yet with a friendly touch!
Expatrips was excellent with the communication leading up to the events. The communication was prompt and extremely articulate in as far as the events were concerned.
As a group of Ugandans that were travelling to Rwanda for the very first time, we were filled with such huge expectations on how to make the most of the few days that we were going to spend in Rwanda.
It was here that Expatrips came in handy, with such a well laid out plan, they gave the time of a lifetime in Rwanda. I would with on doubt recommend Expatrips for anyone willing to not only travel but experience moments in their travel that they will never forget!

Amazing once in a lifetime 3-day tour
My guide was Willem Heckroodt. He picked me up at my hotel in Pretoria. He told me a lot about the country, the landscape and historic dates on our way to Pilanesberg. In the reservoir he really had the eye for the details and showed me not only lions and co. but very hard to see owls. The combination with the hotel tours and his private tours and the information he shared made it just an unforgettable experience. He brought me safely back to the airport in Jo'burg.
