What a perfect organization! A great and unforgettable experience!
What a great trip we had with Makasa Tanzanian Safaris! What's immediately noticeable is the respect for nature and the generous amount of time that is taken for everything. In this way you can enjoy the wildlife to the fullest without any pressure to drive on in search of the next animal.
Because the drivers are allowed to drive an unlimited number of kilometers, we arrived at places where there were virtually no other tourists and we have seen a large diversity of animals. Also the lodges that Makasa cooperates with are fantastic!

E-Trip was perfect! They took care of every detail, and made sure we had a great time!
Everyone we dealt with was amazing. My partner had all sorts of trouble with his flights to Tanzania and Ben continuously stayed on top of it all and made the changes necessary as they came up. We had emails letting us know what to expect and how to prepare for the trip. The accommodations were great and had already been vetted (i.e. the food is handled properly so you don't get sick, mosquito netting, etc.) They've been doing this a long time and you can tell, everything was very well organized.
My Safari guide was also very good. He knew were to go to find the animals I wanted to see, always made sure I was in a good position to see and photograph them and was happy to be flexible with our schedule. He never rushed me when taking photos and would stay out later than scheduled or go out early when there was something specific I wanted to see. He made sure I didn't miss anything with his Eagle Eyes!
Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience and had I known ahead of time, I would have had E-Trip schedule the Zanzibar and Kenya portion of the trip as well. I really can't say enough about how well we were treated, how well organized they were and most importantly how they responded when things went wrong on our end! I highly recommend them.

This was an unforgettable and exceptional once in a life time experience.
We did a 6 day/ 5 night safari. We started off in Arusha, then drove to Ngorongoro crater for a safari drive and 1 night stay, and then on to Serengeti for 4 nights. Our tour was conducted by Wildebeest Safaris led by Hamza and Chotara. From the time we left Arusha and ended our tour on the airstrip at the Serengeti, our friendly and knowledgeable guides looked after our every need and exceeded our expectations. Hamza and Chotara were fully informed of the itinerary and our whole plan was executed without any hitches. The lodging at Ngorongoro and the Tortillis camp in the Serengeti were excellent. The staff at the Tortillis camp was very hospitable, and it was a great experience. The meals at the camp were exceptional. The picnic hampers they provided us for our daily safaris were well planned and delicious. Hamza and Chatora took us to different parts of the Serengeti every day and guided us to locations where we were able to see over 40 lions, 3 leopards, cheetahs and even the black rhino – most of them at hands length. We saw virtually every animal that lives in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. They were also very knowledgeable about the birds and the smaller animals which made it interesting and very informative. The entire trip was well planned, neatly executed, while accommodating all our requests. The personalized attention we received helped us leave as friends which made the experience even more special.
We recommend Wildebeest Safaris without any reservation. With Hamza and Chotara as your guides, you will be guaranteed an exceptional experience.

Meeting more then our expectations!
For many years going on safari was on top of my bucket list. The offering of Sirini Safaris and their people made me and close friend Eric finally “go for it” as I felt sure it would fulfill to our (maybe not so modest) expectations. And man, it did!! We saw so much game, the big 5 multiple times and much much more. Our guide Deo knew exactly how to move around and his storytelling was in flawless english. Deo and Sirini Safari team: Assante San!

The best holiday we have ever been
It was wonderful from the beginning till the end. Our family visited Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara for 6 day. The Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris arranged for us domestic flight Mombasa x Nairobi x Mombasa and the whole safari. Our guide - Ken pick up us at the airport and has been with us the whole time. We visited different places and different type of Safaris. (by car, by foot, by boat) He took us to the different places at Masai Mara and he has shown us the most beautiful part of Afrika. Despite the fact that I had to go to the hospital at the end of the trip. Ken took care of me, took me to Nairobi, but the whole family in the safari continued. Thank you very much to Ken and the whole agency for their approach and hearty solution of the whole situation.

Excellent
oh yes, what a nice trip from start to the end, our trip was awesome. our safari travel agent managed to put together a wonderful 17 days schedule for us, it was a trip of lifetime thanks to SETH VINCENT and this safari tour company. He literally mapped out and helped us plan a trip that checked out everything we wanted to do. Every flight and ground transport was scheduled and spot on. In conclusion, all my tour needs were amicably solved by this company, its simply the best.
Excellent safari with a very experienced guide.
All was fantastic. The service planning the safari was patient and responded to all our questions. Good range of parks with sensible amount of driving each day. Hotels excellent. Particularly liked hotel in Stone Town although tour a little too long.
Francis was an outstanding guide. His knowledge of animals/birds was outstanding and made the trip[.

Excellent Safari operator - Amazing time in Tanzania
My wife and I did our first African safari with Galloping Safaris in the end of September and were extremely satisfied. We conducted the entire process online with Walter. The lodging options were amazing and they helped us customize the trip to match exactly what we wanted. Compared to some of the other options we considered, their price point was very competitive.
Our guide Cosmas was extremely polite and knowledgeable and knew how to navigate the parks and spot animals extremely well.
The only minor setback we had was with our transportation from Arusha to Zanzibar - our flights were delayed and the guide was not at the airport to pick us up. I called Walter and everything was resolved.
