My African Experience
My trip to Tanzania back in 2010 was by far one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I still talk about it all the time to this day. I stayed with Afrishare for almost 4 months and loved every minute of it. Ibrah and others made sure we were 100% taken care of the whole time. Set us up on a Safari, a trip to Zanzibar, showed us around Tanzania and its culture. Best part about Afrishare was the close relationships made with everyone involved. They are all truly lifelong friends and I can never thank them enough for the life experience they provided me while I was there. Thank you Ibrah and Afrishare!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Thomas Zumbiehl
We have visited this park among several others during a honeymoon trip back in 1999. This was our first safari but we have been enjoying this so much that we still remember this as the best trip of our life and keep dreaming of getting back there.
This park has impressed us but its great outdoors, the large grassy meadows. We also saw cheetahs there.

One of the most interesting wildlife experience
In a previous travel, my wife and I have visited other parks in Tanzania (see below). We had great time watching the wildlife. That was our honeymoon travel (yes, we love wildlife !)
So, we had the wish to come back to Tanzania to see the wildlife again. As we stayed on one of the Zanzibar islands, we decided to take a short tour at the Selous Game Reserve. We choose this park because there is not so much tourists. We wanted a park where we could feel almost alone, in communion with nature and wildlife.
We were absolutely seduced by the park. It is really big, has some roads but is clearly saved to be a wild area where animals and birds can leave in the wild.
We have also appreciated a lot to have both car safari and boat safari in the same area. That was the first time we made a boat safari, close to hippos and elephants.
We spent one night in a tented camp. This is a really exciting experience. Maasai people were there to help us make our way between our tent and the lobby because wild animals move freely. That is fun.

Review about Tanzania by Thomas Zumbiehl
We made two trips for safari and they were in Tanzania. We like this country because the parks are not crowded, one feels like privileged to be in such place.
The nature is protected, wildlife is sanctified.

Enjoyed the stunning African safari of the life time.
It was a quick and a sudden decision for a safari tour. I checked with many sites, at last i found Big Time Holidays Ltd to match my needs.
They were quick responsive with reasonable rates.
We explored the Masai Mara game reserves with an expert local safari guide and sighted many wild species. Most amazing incident was tow male Cheetahs hunted a Wilder beast and feasting. We managed to fill our memory cards with the beauty of African landscapes & natural wildlife.
Big thanks to Big Time Holidays and we highly recommend you for best safari adventures.

Trekking for Gorillas with Umubano Tours
In April of 2015 I travelled to Rwanda and completed four gorilla treks, all organized by Umubano Tours.
Umubano Tours was highly recommended online, prompting me to reach out to its principal, Herbert, for an itinerary. Herbert was extremely helpful in planning the trip, always quick to respond with good advice. In country, my guide was Bosco, though Herbert also made sure to introduce himself and ensure I had everything I needed. Bosco was a fantastic guide, very personable and willing to help with whatever I required.
I recommend Umubano Tours without reservation. This is an excellent company that went out of its way to make sure my trip was a massive success. I will certainly use them again for any tours in regions they service.

Lovely, high quality effort from Moureen and her driver Robert
Would like to say "thank you so much" for an amazing 2 ppl VIP Safari organized from Moureen.
It was our first Safari and Moureen was very helpful in advance. She offered a lot of options and never was bugged due to our never ending changing requirements.
She also organized a webcam chat via Skype. It was a nice and quick option to ask her a lot of questions directly without any time delay.
After we accomplished everything and started our trip from Germany to Kenia and Moureen came with Robert from Mombasa and picked us up directly in front of our accomodation in Nairobi.
The whole 1 week trip we had our own driver Robert (very, very friendly, funny and qualified) and a nice and good equipped car!
We never felt unsafe in any way and the booked Lodges and Camps were as good as mentioned from Moureen in advance.
Due to the experience of Robert we have seen a lot of animals (also the big 5 ofc) and he was able to answer all our questions regarding each single animal.
Robert was all the time with us (except in our free time) and we loved and actually miss his society.
At Maasai Mara we booked an extra option (hot-air balloon trip) in advance via Moureen organized from another organisation and it worked smoothly without any problem. Moureen and Robert organized everything and the other organisation picked us up at our Lodge and returned us to it without any delay.
Our trip that started in Nairobi as mentioned before ended in Mombasa and there we met with Moureen again. She organized our 2 nights in Mombasa and we had a city trip + visit of a zoological garden with Robert as our driver again.
In the zoological garden we have seen the biggest turtles ever. Never expected such big ones alive. Felt in love with them and will never forget the moment when I saw them crossing my way and realized that they are real animals. Robert has not mentioned them before. It was a huge surprise!
If we will ever be in Kenia again we will contact Moureen for sure. We can recommend her to everyone of you without any bad conscience.
Thanks for everything Moureen and pls tell Robert that we were very happy with him.
