Amazing experience, amazing staff!
From the moment we were collected from our apartment in dar to our return, we were given only the best hospitality. After our arrival, our guide unfortunately fell unwell, but there was another guide assigned to us very quickly who was very knowledgeable and saw to our every need. His name was Henrik and he waited on us and guided us on our safari. He made sure that we had seen everything we had set out to and had an absolute wealth of knowledge. Our walking safari was sensational and the bushman didi was brilliant. He made it feel like a true wilderness experience, both thrilling and humourous. Our accommodation at hippocamp was breathtaking, from the veiw o the sunset to the starry sky. We would definitely recommend them, only wish that we had longer!

Great Service! Great Experience!
All our needs and requests were patiently and promptly taken care of by our tour manager Naphtally from day one. We were picked up at Nairobi airport by our guide, John, who took great care of us throughout our 9-day safari trip from Nairobi-Amboseli-Naivasha-Masai Mara-Nairobi. We managed to see all the Big 5! And what fantastic and memorable animal encounters. John was very experienced and knowledgeable so was able to recommend and advise on the best times and areas for sightings so we got the maximum out of our trip.
We would highly recommend Africa Remote Safaris for your East African adventure!

“Outstanding service by Step Bush Safaris”
I just got back from Tanzania for six day climb of mount Kilimanjaro via the Marangu route. My trek was organized by Step Bush Safaris. This company was very responsive and professional throughout the entire process. They paired me up with guide Kelvin. He and his team of porters were great and got me to the summit exactly as planned. I highly recommend Step Bush Safaris for all adventures in Tanzania.

Wonderful Honeymoon with Kilidove
Kilidove organized our two week trip to Tanzania for our honeymoon in mid-August 2016, including a one week safari in the Serengeti / Ngorongoro and one week at the Z Hotel in Zanzibar. Everything went smoothly from our initial email conversations with George through our activities the entire trip. They were very responsive and flexible when we were looking into different areas of Zanzibar for our stay. All of the accommodations they arranged were excellent, including Mawe Tented Camp in the Sergeneti. Our Serengeti guide, Joshua, was incredible - he was very personable, flexible, and was an expert on everything related to our safari, including the habits of different animals from the big 5 to the many birds we saw, the environment and trees / plants along the way. He was amazing at being able to spot animals we would have missed, and we had multiple sightings of difficult to find animals including cheetahs and leopards (with their cubs no less). He even spotted two rare rhinos in Ngorongoro. We saw all the big 5 multiple times, and literally saw something new every day.
Our connections throughout the trip were all efficiently arranged, drivers were waiting for us even after we experienced a few delays with our airlines.
We couldn't have asked for a better trip, and the rate was very reasonable for everything that was included. Highly recommend!

An Unforgettable Adventure
I want to send my deepest regards to the legend himself, Godwin. He took my friends and I on a journey of a lifetime to the Southwest corner of Uganda. His driving is phenomenal and he constantly took us to some of the best spots for local fruits and brews. He found us a hidden gem on the cliffs of a mountain overlooking Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area and guided us through the park. He even knew of a secret spot where the leopards live. From there he took us to the fantastic Lake Bunyonyi, a pristine, high-elevation lake that is free of hippos and alligators because it is too cold for them (but perfect for me coming from Michigan). I plan on going on 1 or 2 more trips with Yala during my time here in Uganda. Lots of love to Godwin.

Good experience with low budget
The BigTime safaris is good company they could develop a very good program for you and follow up with you to make sure your are satisfied especially with the low budget I paid. The food however is not that good in Kenya camps but in Tanzania they provided private chef which cook for you whatever you like but you need to mention the food you like before you travel so that they prepare the materials.
The Tnazanian counterpart who should take care of us in Tanzania on behalf of BigTime Safaris were not a honest guy and tried to decive us of bus tickets by doubling the price but when we contacted the bus company they confirmed that the price is half of what we paid him so after confronting him he admitted and returned the money ($90) and refused to drop us to the bus station which was 15min walking ( difficult with luggage) and it was very early morning no taxis

Tanzania safari - Best safari experience in Africa
I am just back home after 7 days safari in Tanzania -16 to 22 August!!
We started our safari adventure many months before, preparing a great genuine experience for a group of 19 persons. Noah delivered a tailor-made safari tour for Tanzania, including Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongo, for all these destinations we got ones of the best accommodation lodges (Sopa, Serena, Simba).
The rangers / drivers picked us up from Kilimajaro airport at 1 a.m. and we started the great adventure throughout Tanzanian best savannah, just next day in the morning.
We’ve been very well introduced within the animal’s world; the drivers looked carefully for all type of animals we could find in each reservation. We saw hundreds of wildebeest, lots of elephants, cheetahs, leopard, hippos, hundreds of zebras and lots lots of lions. We also saw buffalo, many kinds of birds, including pelicans, flamingos, many families of baboons, blue monkey, etc. watching their daily routine. Besides these, I personally enjoyed giraffes, which we could spot them especially in Tarangire and Serengeti, but also, along side the road between different reservations.
Many lions we saw in Serengeti, much more than I ever expected, I just cant count them…
All these thousands of animal viewed in one of the best savannah landscapes, were absolutely delightful.
Drivers were very kind, polite and helpful; they were punctual every morning, having the jeeps kept in perfect state, the fridge in the car was constantly filled with still water, so that we could refresh ourselves anytime. They provided with various information about the wildlife (food, habits, hunting, reproducing, etc) and choose the best routes to find animals, nothing was too much for them to bring us the animals at our feet.
Most of the lunches we had were picnic lunch, some of the places chosen for this were charming, with nice view and having all basic facilities.
As I mentioned above, all lodges were perfectly located in the middle of savannah, having breathtaking views over the parks, crater or lake, depends on the location we were in. Very good service during accommodation, well appointed rooms, with all amenities, including self coffee & tea facilities, very spacious, with large outside terraces giving you the feeling you are in the middle of wilderness but, also, safely. They all have nice swimming pools and dinner entertainment with local dancers. Every evening we got to the lodges, I assisted the best sunsets I ever had (I love sunsets).
As a conclusion: games drive were excellent; our drivers / rangers – Hamza, Peter, Ayubu – were professional, attentive, communicative and knowledgeable; accommodation – Serena Lodge, Sopa Lodge and Simba Lodge – just perfect
Although I had a similar experience in Kenya in 2014, and South Africa in 2011, Tanzania safari din year was a great adventure, most of it because of good appointment and coordination of this tour for 19 people!!!
