More than a Safari
Before we start our beach holiday on Sansibar we wanted to have a safari trip in Tanzania. We have visited many homepages with interesting Safaris. Daigle Tours quoted the best for us:
Start: Tanzania/Selous Safari => End: Sansibar Stone Town Tour
The organisation was very good. Manager Samwel replied every mail fast and trustful.
When we arrived at Dar es Salaam at 2:30 in the night we were picked up from our guide Kapande directly from the airport.
First day we were in Dar es Salaam in a good Hotel direclty at the coast. We had very good breakfast and dinner which was included in our booking like every following days.
On the second day we started our tour to Selous. During the trip we had the chance to see very much of african/tanzanian live. It was very interesting to watch people, behavior and land scapes while we drove to Selous.
In Selous we had a safari on the water where we saw exotic birds, crocodiles, hippos and very tall lizards. Due the low water-level in July we could enter a sandbank where we could observe a hippo family not far from us and an amazing sunset. This one was probably the best sunset we have ever seen.
To lie in the sand, which is actualy the ground of a big river, while watching hippos relaxing in their own territory, during the sun goes down.. Awesome..
Next day we had a full game reserve drive which was also an absolut highlight. We have seen elefants, giraff, zebras, garzelle, hyena, eagle and many many many more animals in wildness. Unfortunately we have not spotted lions but our guide has looked for known spots to get a look of rare animals. We have noted that he was interested to show us as much as possible. A good feeling for us. This is why we were lucky to spot elefants which became more rare from year to year in Selous. Our guide is a good one we think!
Next day we drove back to Dar es Salaam to take a ferry over to Sansibar. When we arrived we were picked up again from another guide who drove us to a wunderful hotel at the east coast of Sansibar. It was good for us to make the transfer over to Sansibar with an organized and trustful tour. Everything went alright.
The day after we made an interesting Stone Town Tour and a Spice Farm Tour. It was a good ending for our very exciting week. At the very end our guide even brought us to our hotel.
All in all we had an incredible week. We have seen so many things from african life and not only animals and a secure transfer to Sansibar what we thought when we booked this safari.
We had a really good time because it was just more than a safari for us.

All perfect
Beautiful 4-day safari: Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro and Serengeti; impeccable organization from reception to Arusha airport; seeing an unimaginable number of animals especially at the Serengeti and thanks to the good and helpful Richard that one day has led 12 hours safari uninterrupted from dawn to dusk. Maybe you can repeat it as soon as possible.

three days gorilla experience
i was much amazed by an experience of Gorilla tracking while on my tour in bwindi impenetrable national park. At first i thought i wont make it but after making an inquire with this company, it kept me with information about my trip all the time. my guide hamza was much experienced with all the information about the gorilla and the area where we were going. He was a good driver and all the time kept us updated about where we are going
our guide could tell us new things that we didn't know and made us have a community visit which made us enjoy with them. Thanks to jungle trip team and most especially our driver hamza

Trip of a life time
This was our first time using Wild Africa Travel Company and i was impressed how smoothly our trip was. The information provided was clear and accurate.
I would not recommend the night safari as you didnt see much and the tour guide gave you the light to find the animals and unless you were a guide you dont know what you are looking for. Apart from that fully recommend and would use Wild Africa Travel again.

Best Safari Experience
I can highly recommend Suricata Safaris. It sets the bar very high for other safari providers and experiences.
I've done a safari before in South Africa, I saw the big five and the landscape was breath taking, but the service was average, so I didn't have any expectations when I booked the safari this time. But Hilary at Suricata Safaris gave me and my brother the best safari experience:
He picked us up from Arusha airport
He brought us to the Arusha Tourist Inn (both the night before and the one after the safari are included in the price)
We went for dinner (it felt like making friends rather than just going on an anonymous safari)
We had our private chef, Action, who prepared the best food during these 4 days
Ezequiel, our driver and guide, told us so much about the wildlife, their instincts and habits. Turned the engine and radio off, so we could just listen to nature, the animals walking, rawr or eating.
Ezequiel understood how to balance our desire to see the animals, but at the same time respecting the wildlife's privacy and territory. It did not feel rushed at all, and we saw the most beautiful things.
We slept in tents right next to the Zebras and other wild life, plus seeing the milky way as clearly as possible because there's no light pollution at all in the parks - simply WOW!
Also we got given proper mattresses for the tents (not just these yoga mattresses!) and wine every night.
I cannot thank Hilary, Ezequiel and Action enough for this wonderful experience, I hope you don't lose that unique vibe as your business expands.

Unforgettable Safari trip!
As I was travelling alone, I wanted to join a group tour, but matching the date was not easy. It was even hard to arrange my own tour as the response of the tour company was slow and not helpful. However, Allan was so prompt to respond that I could arrange the trip much much easier. The tour program was also substantial. My tour guide Kennedy and Freadrick were kind and passionate. They tried to find the animals as much as possible. They also had good knowledge about the animals and it was really helpful. It was an amazing experience. I should come back with my friends next time. Thank you very much for your effort!

Warm, friendly, extremely responsive customer service
We think Angela did an amazing job coordinating our trip for us, in terms of providing different options for our travel, looking into dates, pricing things according to our budget, and exploring a variety of activities and venues. We had a fantastic trip and would recommend Uniglobe to any friends looking to plan safaris or other travel in East Africa region! Thank you!

Knowledge of the tour guide
The guide who was also our driver was punctual and was well knowledged about tarangire national park. He was able to communicate with other drivers in the park and drive to places where we were able to see a lot of elephants (and other animals).
