Great opportunity to reset after a very hard week's work
Pilansberg was beautiful and the Shepherd's Tree Game Lodge is to be recommended - friendly staff, excellent food and our guide, Ruan. was exceptional. All transport was efficient and friendly

Everything that I had hoped for -- excellent 1 day tour of Akagera and introduction to Rwanda
Every aspect of the tour provided by Frank and Golden Rwanda was excellent, from our pre-trip communications, early morning pick-up, travel to/through/back from the park, and follow-up. This was my first (solo) trip to Africa and first safari, and Frank provided detailed and thoughtful historical and cultural perspectives on the rides to and from the park. We spent the whole day (~6-7 hours) traveling the length of the park and were able to spot and spend significant time observing almost all of the hoped-for animals (... elephants, giraffes, various antelopes, hippos, zebras, crocs, great birds -- but saving the rhinos and lions for my next trip!). Frank and Daniel, our local guide within the park, were experts at spotting animals on the horizons and shared their extensive knowledge about every aspect of the park. We spent plenty of time waiting for camera shots to develop and I never had a feeling that we needed to move faster or rush an experience. The Land Cruiser was very comfortable throughout the trip and got us through the park, including a brief afternoon downpour, with ease.
When I go back to Rwanda, hopefully with family in tow, I look forward to doing another tour with Frank -- it was an excellent experience and I would not hesitate to recommend their services.

It was a very interesting and exciting trip with likeable and competent guides - unforgettable.
The communication was perfect: the guides speak English, Swahili and German great. It exceeded all expectations. There was everytime un contact and I feld allways confident. The guide gave a lot of informations about Tanzania whose nature and animals and he answered questions. Moreover he was very committed to find and to show the animals and to content us.
Ultimately: Good service, very good organisation and management.
It was unforgettable and I will visite Tanzania again.

This Safari was really amazing and an experience for life
When we first decided to go on a private family safari in Tanzania, we found it hard to decide on a tour operator company because there are so many of them. After friends of ours returned from a group safari with Enchanting Tanzania Safaris and enthusiastically told us about their great experience and how happy they were with the whole trip, we decided to book with this tour operator too. After spending a wonderful 8 days at all famous National Parks of the North and seeing all this incredibly beautiful scenery and wildlife, we were really happy with our decision. Service was excellent and the recommended hotels and camps were perfect. Our daughter (10) really enjoyed the pool after an exciting game drive and the special attention from our driver/guide, who always joked around with her. He was an excellent driver, trying to avoid the road bumps .-) Very competent in finding animals and reading tracks. We saw all of the Big 5, even a rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater. This will definitely not be our last safari with Enchanting Tanzania Safaris. Caught the bug I guess :-)

Professional and well organized .
Me and my family made a 5 days safari Mikumi, Udzunga National Park and Selous. It was a fantastic experience. Our contact Mickey was great and adapted our requests so we could get the safari just as we wanted. Our driver/guide Fikiri made a great job with his experience and we could relax and enjoy our trip 100%. We saw all the wildlife we wanted and we also enjoyed the the roadtrip between our parks. Just to look at the country and the villages is very interesting . We have travel quite a lot in the world and if you are going to Tanzania don´t hesitate to contact Grassroot safari.

Amazing experience for our first Safari! Highly recommeded!
Mr. Otieno puts together a wonderful product! He was always very responsive when we had questions about our safari and would respond in 24 hours. Our safari for 14 days in Kenya and Tanzania was amazing! We had wonderful guides who were so knowledgeable, great meals, wonderful camps and lodges to stay in - everything was great. We saw so many animals and wildlife on our tour and had some great cultural experiences. Our favorite spots were Masaai Mara, Lake Nakuru, the Serengeti, and Amboseli. Serekani camp, Lake Nakuru lodge, the Savanna tented camps, and Kibo Safari camp were the best places to stay! We also loved the Hot Air Balloon Ride and champagne brunch over Masaai Mara. Our only two minor comments are to remove the Fanaka lodge from the itinerary (and stay on property at Lake Manyara) and let customers know ahead of time about the Flight Link flight to Zanzibar, incase they want to do the larger Precision Air flight. I would still highly recommend Kenya Safari tours, regardless! Thank you for a wonderful vacation Mr. Otieno! We would definitely return when we have the chance!

He's a kind guy and it was really fun.
Ok so it was well organised, we had zero problems, he speaks fluent english and really good german.
The chosen lodges were also really good I've been to Tanzania before with different tours and they gave us the most touristic lodges there were.
However Enchanting Tanzania Safaris gave us like "secret" not for everyone lodges which was really relaxing.
About the safari: we saw many animals even the rare ones like leopards and in addition to that we had a magic moment with some elephants. (they were really close).
It was a pleasant journey and i'd recommend it to everyone thinking about going to Tanzania. It's a really meh idea to book your holidays with big organizer.
