Exclusive safari in Lake Manjara National park
I was lucky to have an exclusive safari arranged for me in Lake Manjara National Park in january 2015. The safari met all my expectations and the event organisor was extremely service minded and friendly. I have no hesitations recommending them as safari operators.

Fantastic bush experience
What a wonderful guide Rob is. This was a real bush experience ,staying in isolated areas with only animals for company.Rob is so knowledgable and enthusiastic he made the trip much more than any other safari we have been on. The tents are comfortable but not luxury by any means but very well catered by lovely staff. We did 3 nights in the bush camp followed by 2 nights in a luxury camp and then another 3 nights in the bush and i think this was the perfect combination. Would highly recommend Rob and his company to anyone seeking a real 'old school' safari

Great experience
The service was very friendly and I felt welcomed in South Africa. The Tour was well organized. And the programm was nicely put together. It gave me a good view over the wildlife of Africa and I was enjoying to see all these animals and also the tourguide was very helpful and friendly. I can warmly recomend to do a tour with explendor tour.

a recap on Masai mara and lake nakuru safari with African Habitat safaris
It would be unfair to depart from expressing my gratitude to African Habitat safaris for such a memorable excursion. The big five reality and the natural Savana across Nassau Mara and Lake Nakuru aces became a five-day real life experience especially in the company of Rachel. That interaction with the local natives learning through the preserved cultural practices was also a learning experience. I appreciate the hospitality that came along with the accommodation, feeling more at vacation than home. That was this lifes cycle that I'd wish to be part of over and over again, am grateful.

Amazing team to help plan our trip of a lifetime!
What can I say bad about ANDA African Adventures? Absolutely nothing! All I can say we had the most amazing trip of a lifetime! Our group was able to work closely with ANDA to customize a perfect trip for our budget, interests and length of time. Here's a breakdown of our trip:
2 adults and 2 kids (12/14)
6 nights, 6.5 days in mid-June 2016
Flew from Dubai to Kilimanjaro
Private tour, 4 days game drives, 2 days cultural
Working with Zoe, Christina, and Charina was delightful. Out of all the tour companies I explored, they were the most responsive, the most flexible, and the best value for money. We decided on Tanzania over Kenya (although the just a bit more $$) since we felt it may be a bit less touristy. To be honest, we only saw a few other cars per day! Except when we saw 4 cheetahs hunt an impala (yes, really!!) we were usually alone on the beautiful drives.
Overall the hotels were great- Octagon lodge with amazing food and hospitality, Lobo lodge in Serengeti on a hilltop with baboons climbing the trees 5 feet away and an amazing morning sunrise, and the Rhino lodge with Cape buffalo grazing just yards away from your room's back porch!
On tour, we were lucky enough to see 4 of the big 5 except the leopard. Our guide for the week Athuman was very professional, fun, and patient with all of our photo stops. He comes highly recommended! On the tour, the Serengeti was amazing but my personal favorite was driving down into Ngorongoro crater. Talk about beautiful!!
We all wanted to do something active on one day of the tour, and ANDA didn't disappoint! Our guide for the day Bruno was fantastic! He took us through the village where he is from and we got to walk through the back streets, meet some local children, visit a school, drink banana beer, eat a home cooked meal in the banana groves, and end with a great canoe trip with local fishermen!
When it comes to booking an African safari, you want to make sure you go with a trusted company, with tested itineraries, and great customer service since this is both a once in a lifetime trip for most, and one in a location that is much different than western countries. Ask questions, ask for ideas, and get creative together for a perfect trip.
Asante ANDA! Thank you for an outstanding experience!

Outstanding customer service
This is not a review on a trip but on the customer service. I had booked a safari more than 1 year in advance. Unfortunately, I had to cancel a couple of weeks later - also more than one year in advance. I was able to communicate with my booking agent and Jake in Kenya. Due to my unusual circumstances they worked hard to help refund my money with the understanding that I would book again in the near future. I cannot say enough good things about this companies customer service and highly recommend that anyone planning a trip to Africa consider booking with them! Thank you Jake and Julie for helping me! Gamewatchers is an A+ business in my book!

Safari Northern part of Tanzania
Last april we visited the national parks in the north of Tanzania. We have booked a trip with Matoke Tours that was arranged by Easy Travel in Tanzania. Benedict was our guide and driver. Soon it was very clear that Benedict was very motivated and he had a lot of experience and he wants to show us a lot of his beautiful country. We've called him our "King Spotter". We have seen a lot of animals (the Big Five), with a lot of newly born animals. We have maked the trip in the short rainy season and we recommend it to everyone, because of the beautiful landscape with lots of colours. We had great expectations about this trip after our first safari in Uganda, but they were all surpassed several times, thanks to Benedict. We advise everyone to make this trip with Matoke Tours in combination with Easy Travel and Benedict as a guide.

Excdellent voyace to Tanzania with the organization
Everything Desiree had suggested came true. Andrew was a wonderful driver/guide and thanks to him we saw so much wildlife and indeed, The Big Five. The Tented Camps and Lodges where we stayed were all wonderful. The reception at every camp by the staff was warm welcome everytime and everybody was very friendly and helpful.
We can definitely recommend Afroriginal Tours when you want to visit Tanzania.
