They understand your needs!
A friend recommended Mega Adventures and we weren’t disappointed with services. Mohammed replied to each email and I think we got our moneys worth. We couldn’t have had a better guide and driver. Emanuel was well informed about the whereabouts of the animals and we even had the pleasure of seeing rhinos. Being enthusiastic bird watchers We were quite pleased that he knew his birds and referred to the same popular book that we were carrying.
He patiently stopped and reversed are very frequently without getting annoyed which was a real blessing.
To our misfortune the car broke down and the air-conditioning couldn’t be fixed, we had a very dusty and hot drive back to Arusha from Kati Kati Camp.
Hoping to go again with Mega Adventures!

Helpful and reliable
Ben was extremely helpful and patient trying to accommodate all our requests during the preparation of the trip. Our guide, David, was excellent: good driver, wise guide, and enjoyable company.
The car was in good condition, although we had a small problem with one of the tires.
The lodges and tented camps were correct and very convenient, in good locations. The Researchers' Rest in particular is an unpretentious B&B which had everything we needed for our first night in the country, comfortable and very good value.
The safari was short and well optimized. David planned every day carefully and helped us to identify the animals and birds we found. He really enjoys his job and makes it enjoyable for the customers!
When we returned to Arusha at the end of the safari Ben took us to the rental company where we had booked a car, and made sure everything was in order before leaving us.
We find it very important to find someone reliable in a country like Tanzania, which is not easy for independent travelers. And the staff of E-Trip Africa are reliable people.
The only reason to give 4 stars instead of 5 is that we found the package a little overpriced, and we didn't liked too much the tented camp in Serengeti (Nieleze), although this is not E-Trip fault! Apart from that everything was really good.

A well organized safari in an amazing country!
We booked our safari immediately upon arrival when we met James in the hostel. He promised us a great 5-day safari in the Serengeti & Ngorongoro for a fair price. Well, it has been amazing and lived up to all the expectations:
- A comfy 4x4 safari jeep with a helpful and funny guide (Lazero)
- Accomodation during the trip was good with great food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) prepared by marquaia
-Plenty of time in wonderful national parks (serengeti, ngorongoro & taranguire)
Long story short, amazing safari and good value for money!
Regards,
Amedee & Branko

The tour operator was friendly informed on the topic enthusiastic and a dream to deal with
Our tour was above standard. We were at all times helped by friendly informed people who took their job seriously. From the pilots to the rangers. The organisation was impressive and we were completely at ease in transit to the parks. At the parks we were made welcome treated to an impressive level of organisation, kindness eventhing was on time above expectations. Worth every penny. The lodges were superb clean immaculate
organised friendly. The food was healthy varied beautifully presented. A dream holiday. I am so very glad we booked through this company and we are already talking about returning. There are many many companies out there but this was the best decision we made in a crowded field. I am over fifty and have traveled extensively all over the world but was still very impressed with this company.

Really tried the guide and driver we are all animals show, even saw leopards up close. Lunch - out of competition!! Nature is beyond words!!! And what is the service while moving through the Park of mikumi is at the highest level!! Thank you, friends for the meeting and acquaintance with the most beautiful country in the world! Trust You and I will recommend You! Thank you very much!! EVERYTHING WAS GREAT!!

Selfdrive Botswana and Namibia
I got Cardboard Box details from a Trip advisor forum in 2015 and planned a selfdrive trip from Livingstone Zambia to J'Burg via Cape Town over 36 days with the help of Norelle for the Zambian, Botwsanan and Namibian part of the trip, 22 days.
Norelle was a great help giving good advice and guidance. Sadly I had to cancel due to illness 5 days before we were due to fly out. Again Norelle was very helpful with the paper work for the insurance company.
But I got better and reinstated the plan in 2017 and we had a great time.
Cardboard Box (Norelle) did every they said on the tin. Will use again

Hello Tanzania and Mwajabu were very communicative and professional. Great experience!
I traveled to Tanzania on business in early December and hoped to squeeze a brief safari in before my work responsibilities. Hello Tanzania helped me make it happen. Mwajabu was super communicative and answered all my questions. The tour operator in Selous Game Reserve was friendly and knowledgable. Grade A experience.

Great & affordable Tour
Peter, our driver, was amazing! He was always on time, explained everything and made sure we were able to see the big 5, although we had booked the 2 days Tour only. The hotel the agency had booked for us was good too... Nothing luxurious, but good for 1 night.

Excellent ,everything was beautifully organised by Tammy via email.
This was our first trip to South Africa so we sent Tammy our wish list, what type of accommodation we liked and an indication of our budget.She came back with a proposal which I don't think we even need to tweek.Between booking and the date of our trip Tammy kept in contact and promptly answered any of our queries. We were met at the airport ,taken to our hotel and given our itinerary. Next morning Lele Mbinda picked us up promptly and took us on the first of three tours in Cape Town. The tours were adapted according to the weather and our special interests. We flew to Durban to pick up a hire car for the next stage of our trip. All the instructions got us to our hotels easily and each had its own character.The Rhino Ridge Lodge was one of the highlights. During the three nights we stayed we went on six game drives with Hala who ensured we saw an amazing variety of wildlife,identifying any we didn't know. The truck seldom had more than four passengers and you felt like you were on your own private safari. The staff at the lodge itself were friendly and helpful, and the food well balanced in terms of size and variety. The staff sing for residents birthdays was something special. As visitors from the UK the only hairy bits were driving on dirt tracks in a hire car in Rorke's Drift and Hluhluwe Imfolosi Park but that was inexperience. It was a wonderful holiday beyond our expectations and we are very grateful to Tammy for her organisation and suggestions.
