Experience your safari right!
We came to Tanzania with no exact understanding of what prices were and what destination were better. Thank to guys we managed to squeeze quite good safari into our budget, see many interesting places, got a lot of information. Although they haven't got the most comfortable car ever and they are not the big company with huge experience, but they are really good guides and friendly people. And by the way, they are local company unlike many others, so using their services - you support local economy.
I recommend calling them in advance, so they help organize you vacation.

Amazing South Africa Adventure
Justin was most helpful in helping us to plan this trip at short notice. We had to change the itinerary many times to meet our budget and Justin was able to revise the itinerary very promptly. We had a wonderful time in the 2 recommended lodges and encountered the Big 5 at very close range. We also had a good time in Cape Town. Justin took the trouble to call us at each leg of our tour to make sure everything was okay.

Great experience!
We (me, my brother and my mom) had a quick three day trip in February. We flew back and forth from Entebbe and stayed to nights at the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The hike was outstanding and the hour among the gorillas was unreal. Justus was great regarding the booking and planning and Ben was with us during the trip and took great care of us. If you go make sure to bring enough cash, there is no way to withdraw cash in the park and you will want to hand out a lot of tips .
To conclude, we would recommend anyone to go see the gorillas and we would also recommend you use Gorilla Bookings while doing so, five stars.

Perfect service and great tour
I have sent my parents (70+) on a group tour with Kruger Park Tours, and they loved the tour.
The service was excellent, everything was explained very clearly and the tour leader was very friendly and helpfull. The accommodations were great as well and very suitable for an elderly couple.
Many thanks Kruger Park Tours for your excellent service!

Best One Day Safari Ever!!
This was my mother's first trip to Africa and both of our first safari tours, and we had an exceptional time with Bestday Safaris. Despite it being a quick one day tour within the Tarangire National Park, we saw elephants, ostriches, zebras, baboons, giraffes, warthogs, impalas, and water buffaloes to name a few. Stopping at a Maasai village afterwards was and extra special bonus. Louis our guide was very knowledgeable and personable, and Peter was extremely professional, responsive, and friendly. The next time I come back, I'll definitely have to do a longer safari with them, but for our tight schedule it was perfect. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone thinking about doing a safari, you won't regret it.

Awesome 8 day Safari
We had a great private 8-Day Safari in Tansania. Hamad came to pick us up from the airport and anwered all of our questions that came in to our mind. We boooked a group safari but the others didn't showed up. So we did get a private tour through the 5 Nationalparks. Hamad had planed out every of our wishes very well so we got to stay one night in a lodge as well as to get up to the north of the Serengeti. Thanks to our guide Nicko we even got to see the big migration what was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The End of July already was the end of the migration but our guide did everything possible to find them. We had a greate time!

Can't be trusted. Kenneth Karuhanga is a fraud.
Four months ago we reached out to Ken for a proposal to organize our trip to Tanzania. He is based in Uganda but is also listed as leading tours in Tanzania on your website, and his proposed itinerary and reviews made him seem like a good fit. He said he would be the guide for both our six-day ascent of Kilimanjaro and our five-day safari from Moshi. He asked for a $1000 deposit to cover national park fees and staffing costs, which seemed fair.
One week before the trip Ken told us he needed more money since it was the holiday season and costs were higher. We felt it was unfair to change the budget right before we started traveling, but agreed to move forward with the trip as planned and to pay the extra sum when we arrived.
When we arrived in Moshi and expected to meet Ken, we instead met a woman named Neema Mushi who runs an agency called Licious Travel Adventures (also on your site). She explained that Ken was not coming to Tanzania at all, that her price of the trip was under budget and that Ken had not forwarded any of the deposit money we had sent him.
We spent many evenings frantically trying to reach Ken and recover the deposit money to run our trip as planned, but Ken said he had needed the money for "another project" and couldn't send it right now. He finally sent $175 to Neema, but that didn't cover half of the new price increases she insisted on.
Possibly worst of all we learned that Ken had been pushing Neema lower and lower on her price, while asking us for more and more money. When we asked him what he felt he did to deserve the $825 cut he took for himself, he said something about booking the one hotel we stayed in during our trip.
Our experience with Ken was one of: 1) misleading us to believe that he would be leading the trip; 2) never once mentioning he was reselling our trip to an extreme budget agency; 3) lies about early cost increases of the trip and sticking us with the bill of the actual increases; 4) theft of our deposit money (he still refuses to return it)

Best Safari
We recommend everyone www.hellotanzania.com for the proffesional activity.We went in Mikumi safari for just one day, they understood us for the budget at our limitted time.It was great:the driver was very good, i felt save with him; he takes us from the hotel and back.During 6 hours from Dar es salam to Mikumi we laughed with the driver, we spoke a lot with him about Tanzania, he was great:)
And the safari was great- 6 hours in the safari with a good guide and a lot of fun.We saw many animals:lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, monkeys, hippopotamus, etc.
Thank you www.hellotanzania.com!

Marianne went above and beyond to ensure we had the best trip. She was extremely responsive, friendly and put together a once in a lifetime experience!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
