Excellent Value
We chose Tanzania Serengeti Adventures after scouring the internet for an affordable, but comprehensive safari. That is exactly what we got with TSA. We loved the experience from start to finish! Jordan and Iris were very helpful before the trip. Philomen was an excellent guide - we saw almost the entire big 5 in our first day. He was very friendly and knowledgable about the animals (due to his 20+ years of experience).
We also loved the Tanzania Ric Lodge. The rooms were more comfortable than I expected. Rosie, the cook/manager, was extremely hospitable. The food and service was excellent. Rosie took care that all of my dietary needs (vegetarian) were met. I also loved that the Lodge was on a coffee farm and I was able to take a tour of the farm during down time.
I would definitely recommend TSA.

A well organised safari with special features, excellent lodges and a great guide / driver.
Matoke Tours in Uganda prepared an excellent safari package for our family. Highlights were the guided Chimp tracking, guided crater lake hike including tea plantations and village visit, a guided loin tracking tour off the beaten tracks with a Lion expert. On our game drives in Kibale, Queen Elisabeth NP, Ishasha and Bwindi we saw lots of lions, herds of elephants, an occasional leopard. Highlight of our tour was definitely the gorilla track in Bwindi, impenetrable forest, were we came eye to eye with a silverback and his family. What an amazing creatures! Further worth mentioning that we stayed at excellent safari lodges whereby Katara Lodge, Mutanda Lodge and Mihingo Lodge are worth mentioning for their good dinners and great accommodation facilities as well as their amazingly scenic locations. WMatoke provided a guide and driver Anatoli, who appeared knowledgeable about Uganda, wild life and local environment, but was above all a very pleasant chap with a great sense of humour. We laughed a lot with him and he comes well recommended for anyone who want to visit Uganda. What an amazing country and excellent safari experience.

Wonderful week of Safari in Northern Tanzania
My wife and I took the 7-days/6-nights safari option with It Started In Africa, and we have a wonderful experience! The safari was great - we got to see so much wildlife - and our guide, driver and cook were excellent. We found everyone to be very friendly and helpful. The itinerary was very good, with lots of different things throughout the week. We really enjoyed the various game drives, but I think the visits with locals (banana plantation tour) and meeting the people near Lake Eyasi (especially hunting with the Hadzabe people) were real highlights!
Thank you for helping to make our trip special.

Excellent Holiday
An amazing trip! It exceeded our expectations by far. Food was great, lodges were phenomenal. Our driver George was kind with a great sense of humour. Cruiser Africa offered our daughter a birthday cake at Keekorok lodge which made the safari so fun. We did so much in one week and we got value for our money. The guide was knowledgeable about the birds, animals and also the area. Thank you so much Cruiser Africa.

A very well planned and priced trip that exceeded my expectations!
I live in Tanzania, and after struggling to plan my own trip to Gombe Stream NP, I decided to use Nature Bound Africa, which has an excellent reputation locally. I found them to be very prompt in responding to my request, and very thorough in determining my needs.
Everything was well-planned and I saved time and money compared to what I would have paid as an independent traveler. Their local knowledge is excellent and I felt as if I was in very good hands. I had an amazing visit to Gombe and a great time chimp-trekking. (You can see my review of Gombe Stream National Park on TripAdvisor).
I highly recommend using this company for travel in Tanzania and East Africa. Thanks for a great trip Nature Bound Africa. I now have them planning a group tour for some friends to Ngorongoro and Serengeti!

Exceeded expectations
I was very impressed with the service I received from Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris. Mr Otieno responded to all my queries promptly and the price we were given was very reasonable and competitive. Patrick was our guide and driver and he was extremely good at spotting wildlife and was very accommodating of our needs. All the accommodation was great. I would definitely book with KWSS again based on my experience.

Yes, we had a fantastic safari
Yes, we had a fantastic safari in general and here in below is our evaluation;
THE DRIVER:
The driver was extremely bright and knowledgeable not only about the animals and their habits, but about Tanzanian culture, history, politics, e.t.c as well. He was very generous in sharing his information, kept a running commentary throughout the day. I don’t think there was a single question he couldn’t answer. Very personable as well and a lot of fun! Very good eye for spotting animals too.
VEHICLES:
Vehicles were fantastic for viewing because with top up, vehicles allowed for a breeze and were very comfortable.
THE COOK:
We had a fantastic chef – Every meal was fantastic, good variety and we ate much better (and more) food on safari than we do at home.

It was our fantastic safari, i reccommend this company to all who want to do safari..
My wife and I have just had the most fantastic safari anyone could wish for. We did the six days safari joining a group while staying in tented camps (middle range), Lake Manyara Wildlife Safari camp and Serengeti Wild Camp were beyond our wildest dreams along with Rhino lodge. The staff were delightful and the food absolutely delicious! It was a truly magical experience. The tour guide was very knowledgable and went out of his way to ensure all of us were enjoying our time. Itinerary was clear, and well laid out. Knew what each day entailed. I promise to recommend you to all who plan the safari.
Brilliant - Awsome - Unforgettable
From the first day we contacted Shaun Taylor from Moriti Safaris to our last day everything went smoothly. All our lodges picked by Shaun were first class. William Cooke our Guide could not have been more helpful and knowledgable. This was our third time to Africa,and they were by far the best organised, and caring company by far.
I would highly recommend Moriti Safaris, if you want to relaxed and be pampered while seeing the most awsome animals and scenery in South Africa.
