Highly recommended good value safari
We would highly recommend an Afrishare safari to anyone who is not looking to break the bank on a safari and still wants to see all the animals that those on more luxurious options see.
Two of us had a great time throughout. There was a hiccup beforehand when our supposed partners dropped out of our group safari so we had to pay extra ($100 each) for a private safari - but given the extra cost to Ibrahim this seemed reasonable.
Our trip consisted of one day in Lake Manyara; three days in the Serengeti which Afrishare were happy to facilitate; and one day in the Ngorongoro crater. We would strongly recommend spending as much time in the Serengeti as you can because it was not only the most beautiful in our opinion, but we also had the best animal encounters. We saw all the Big 5 and so much more - including great close ups of all the big cats.
The camping was comfortable and we slept well in the tents and kit that Ibrahim provided. The food on the whole was good and we ate well but of course don't expect anything too fancy.
Our guide was very nice and happy to accommodate our wishes for drives at the crack of dawn, plus he was incredibly talented at spotting animals of all shapes and sizes. However one of our only issues was that he could have been a bit more knowledgeable about the animals themselves as we were keen to learn as well as observe.
Saying that, overall all the staff Afrishare are very hospitable and kind. We stayed two nights in the lodge, before and after our safari, and the food was great. Ibrahim was very helpful and easy to speak to leading up to our trip and then helped book us a bus to return to Dar and recommended us a good hostel to stay in.
We hope that next time we come to Tanzania we can go on the Kilimanjaro trek with Afrishare.
Tsavo private safari with Cheetah Revolution Safaris
It was a trip that made all of us feel to come back to Kenya. It was worth all time spent in the Tsavo seeing Wild animal. Elephants, lions, crocodiles. We were all amaze at how Kenya is beautiful. The guide was qualified and excellent in his Job. he was helpful. The driver was experienced and this made it possible to complete the 6 days safari in Tsavo East and West.

Fabulous safari holiday
My wife and I (recently retired) just got back from a fabulous safari holiday in Tanzania and felt that the tour company is deserving of our appreciation and recommendation.
Simba Adventures Ltd based in Arusha, Tanzania put together an 8 day safari in the Northern circuit using mostly tented lodges according to our wishes and budget. From our very first enquiry their responses were timely, friendly and comprehensive. All arrangements went like clockwork, and our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Our safari covered Tarangire National Park, the Olduvai Gorge, Serengeti (where we spent 3 days at Kati Kati tented camp which was our favourite camp) then the Ngorongoro Crater, as well as several planned and unplanned visits to Maasai markets and cultural tours of villages.
Our driver/guide made sure we saw everything possible, including rare sightings of a Rhino in Serengeti, a Cheetah close up, several sightings and mingling with the migration herds, and an unforgettable sunrise game drive with wonderful daybreak colours of the countryside.
Thank you, Simba Adventures Ltd

Incredible experience
I made the Masaai Mara tour for two days and it was the most incredible experience of my life. Everything was great: the car, the freedom, the animals we saw... But, the main thing that contributed to our happines was the guide, Anthony. He was all the time taking care of us, and trying to make the maximum of our stay there. Thank you very much!!!

Excellent safari!
We booked our 4-day Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru safari with Edward after doing extensive online research. Our goal was to see as many big cats as possible, and he assured us that we would see them. It was only the best price but also the best experience of our lives.
I had wanted to go on an African safari for over 50 years, and Edward made my dreams come true.
We could not have enjoyed this safari more. Edward has exceptional communication skills and tons of TLC. He literally held our hands and made sure that we were well taken care of during the whole trip. You too will thoroughly enjoy your adventure with Edward. We hope to see him again.

Review about Tsavo West National Park by Charles Lovely
Having only been once I felt the wildlife numbers were low compared to other parks. One of the contributing factors was the density of arid scrub brush making is difficult to see wildlife. Having the ability to stay at a lodge within the park boundary was a plus.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Charles Lovely
Have been three times in different regions of the park which all felt and looked different as far as scenery, and numbers and types of wildlife and habitats. Not to be missed. The only negatives with this park can be congestion of safari vehicles at locations of big 5 animals, aggressive drivers disobeying park regulations by driving off-road, getting to close, and disturbing animals and cutting other vehicles off who were there previously in order to get their clients close enough to snap pics with their point and shoot cameras and smart phones. Another negative I just thought of—at a certain lodge that I stayed at about eight years ago there were nightly hyena feeding shows where the lodge put kitchen scraps out to entertain the guests. Disturbing, since this reminded me of when Yellowstone National Park had bear feeding shows which was banned over a half century ago.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Charles Lovely
The only leopard I have ever seen was in this park. Diversity of wildlife and habitat. Flamingos and rhino numbers were sufficient.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Charles Lovely
Kilimanjaro as backdrop, elephants, and that you can stay at lodges within the park boundary.
