6-day Kilimanjaro route & 6-day Safari...the most unforgettable and amazing experiences of my life!
Me and my friend Cathy showed up at Kilimanjaro Grand Hostel with the idea of looking for and compare tour operators to do the Lemosho route in Kilimanjaro, and our dreamed-since-childhood safari. After meeting Mandela, the owner of the hostel, and Mohamed, the manager of Mega Adventures, we were convinced that they were the perfect people to trust and to arrange our big adventures with them. Not only they devote their lives to offer the most wonderful experience ever, but also part of the benefits that they obtain are dedicated to Komboa organization, founded by Mandela. This was one of the main reasons to choose our trek and safari with them. Also, they gave us such confidence that we didn't even look for another option.
We started with the trek, and got the best possible guides ever, Mathey and Roy, probably two of the most experienced people at Kilimanjaro. The main guide, Mathey, has summited more than 400 times! They, and the rest of the team (cook and porters) took care of us as if we were family. Even if we couldn't have lunch or dinner all together, we enjoyed the interaction that we had with all the team. Thanks to them we achieved our goal with no problem! Initially we were shocked by the luxury at the mountain, that we were not expecting at all, like the amazingly elaborated food that we got every day.
After coming back from Kili, we started our 6-day safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro), with Ally as driver and guide, and Massawe as cook. If we thought that the food at Kili was good, we had no words to describe the cuisine of Massawe! He really has a talent! And Ally is a wonderful guide, and his skills driving are beyond expectations. Everything was perfectly organized! We had two walking safaris that were amazing, we enjoyed tea around a campfire in Tarangire, we camped in Lobo (an astonishing location at Serengeti), we saw the gnus crossing the Mara river in the border with Kenya, we saw hundreds of animals...it felt like a dream come true! Everything was just perfect and beautiful. And on top of this great experience, what I also took back home was the certainty that I have now good friends in Moshi (Mandela, Silvia, Mohamed, Ally...) that I'm looking forward to seeing again!

High speed for acheive your requests...and caring
Communication very nice and fast..service verygood...the road for safari very narrow it takes a long time if the company tours in tanzania write a requirment to the government and sign it by all to help the tourists to do it many time and saving the time to do visit another places which is increase the national income

Super safari!
Desiree is your contact person. They can arrange everything for you. Specify what you want and can do.
Her partner Fay does the safari tour. He is communicative very good and really a walking encyclopedia!
Not only does he have knowledge of the "big five" but also all birds, insects and plants.
Unbelievable how fast he sees everything. He gets the best out of your safari.
They do this for years and this experience is evident in the result.

Two week trip included visits with several local tribes and scores of animals in three parks.
Wilderness Legends Africa staff was superb - professional, knowledgeable, friendly, kind and patient with American travelers. By the end of the trip we felt like family. They knew park territory well and where animals might be so we saw endless numbers of a great variety of animals and birds. Visits to several tribals people were fascinating and accomplished with respect for local culture. Accommodations and food were excellent. We tell anyone who will listen to visit Tanzania and to go with Wilderness Legends Africa.

A very efficient & well organised company to deal with
We booked the 7 Day Namibian Odyssey and overall were really very happy with the holiday. The communications & service and the information provided before leaving were all excellent and allowed us to feel very confident and excited for the holiday to come, and everything ran as was scheduled.
The guide, Augustine, was excellent in many ways: very informative, polite, helpful with individuals needs, and we felt relaxed in his company.
The accommodation was very good overall with some being excellent, however Etosha Safari Camp, whilst interesting in many ways, was let down by very poor accommodation as the rooms were very poorly equipped, the shower did not work & the windows creaked all night. Sadly we felt that this was below the standard of accommodation we expected for this holiday. I would have given a 5* rating if it had not been for this.
The itinerary was well thought through and we had many excellent experiences.
I would suggest that half way through the tour you may consider letting your guests have a couple of hours more free time to 'catch-up' so to speak as with so much to see and do, and so much travelling, we were quite tired at the end and pleased we had booked a couple of days in Cape Town before we flew back to the UK.

Fantastic experience!
One of the hallmarks of a professional, well-run company that puts the customer first is its ability to handle the mistakes and challenging situations that will inevitably occur.
In our case, when our driver failed to show up at 7 AM as agreed for our 2-day Mikuni Safari, I called and reached Kanuth. When he realized our tour had been mistakenly booked in for another date than the agreed upon on one, he dropped everything to make things right. Since no driver happened to be available, he personally drove us out to Mikuni for what turned out to be an absolutely unforgettable safari experience. In spite it being the in-between season (mid-August) when often less wildlife can be seen, we saw an incredible wealth of wildlife, including a lion pride with very playful cubs very close up and a trio of lions out hunting the following day. Kanuth is very knowledgeable and a warm and friendly travel companion. He did everything he could to ensure my daughter Zoe and I had the best possible safari experience.
I chose Kanuth because I wanted to use a locally run and staffed safari company. I highly recommend Kanuth and his company, not only for his professional attitude, but above all for the fantastic customer experience he provided us. Thank you Kanuth.

Professional and excellent tour operator!
Our experience with mamasavana is very positive. The service level is very high. Every detail small or big mamasavana made our vacation to the best. The first contact took place with John which gave us detailed information about the safari tours and helped us decide which period suits us best to go. So John thank you so much for everything and administrative tasks before our trip. The guide we had, Allen, was a perfect guide with a lot of experience and so much knowledge about the environment. We had so much fun during the time we spent together. Thank you for all the laughs! We will miss you!
And Alex thanks a lot to you too! The dinner last night will be unforgettable!
I can from my heart recommend mamasavana to anyone thinking of going on a safari trip.
