Amazing experiences in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
Have rated our experience as excellent as we were blown away by the experience of the Serengeti and Ngonrongoro Crater. Prior to arriving in Tanzania we experienced excellent communication with Abidan who was there to pick us up at Kilimanjaro airport and at the end of our safari Jesse, our driver, took us to the border for our connecting drive to Kenya.
We did have a change of itinerary which we weren't expecting but was a logical step as we wanted particularly to see the migration in the Ndutu area and because we had a long drive to the border for our connecting drive to Kenya at the end of our stay. All in all we were satisfied with this. We loved the camp we stayed in in the Serengeti - Heritage camp - which is small and run by a really cheerful crew and gives a very authentic experience. Serengeti was something I shall never forget - seeing the enormity of the mass of migrating wildebeest and zebra etc. The pride of lions - about a dozen with cubs on our first early morning game drive, lying on the rocky outcrop was just awsome as was watching the sun come up - great pics. We watched elephant antics - and waited while the leopard in the tree (with his kill) had to stay up there due to the six or seven lions lying around the bottom. For me the Serengeti stay was the highlight but the Ngorongo crater was also amazing - we watched a zebra give birth and baby take its first steps. We did go to Lake Manyara park as our first day of safari - it is very beautiful but what came after sort of overshadowed it. Our last night at the Simba Ngorongoro Forest Lodge was a lovely ending - with all the luxuries etc and a beautiful dinner.
Jesse is a very good driver and we felt very safe with him. He is clearly passionate about his country - I don't blame him as it is stunning. Although he didn't have radio communication in the vehicle we used he seemed to know where to find everything as we certainly saw some awsome things!

To be lived again and again.
I was pleasantly surprise by the professionalism of Spot Kenya Safaris. They came to pick us up at the airport on time and even helped with some formalities, accommodation was as described, the safari itself was an amazing journey.

Awesome last minute climb and safari!
I arrived in Tanzania from another African country without having organized anything, but Walter made it easy for me and I was able to join a group for both a safari and Kili climb at the last minute. The guides were very professional and we got lots of information about the animals. The food was awesome (I was impressed!). Kili is a one in a lifetime experience, not to be missed. I was very well taken care of on the mountain, the guides were encouraging but not overly pushy. I really enjoyed the organization and I highly recommend this company

Safari and beach excellence
We booked our "once in a lifetime" safari experience through Safari Conslutants UK and they did not disappoint. Michele put together 2 safari locations in Kenya and a beach holiday in Zanzibar. We had asked for a "higher end" experience with permanent safari camps and a luxury beach location. Michele set us up at Lewa Wilderness and Saruni Mara and ended at The Palms. The 2 safari locales were very different and gave us (my wife and twin teenagers) an experience of a lifetime. Safari Consultants coordinated 6 internal flights, a overnight hotel in Nairobi and all the transfers and did not miss a beat. Very well done in every regard. Thank you.

Best Safari ever!
Our safari dream started at home by the booking of our lodges & tented camps + planning our trip as we had everything in our minds. Luckily we had the help of Iris & Lilian, to assist us by giving us the best guide lines. Our ranger Cornel picked us up at our hotel & provided us with an introduction to Tanzania, which gave us a warm feeling of being welcome. After a detailed briefing in the offices of Easy Travel, we were more than ready to start our adventure. The amazing 4x4-vehicle which we had for the two of us + the enthusiasm of our ranger Cornel, resulted in a very comfortable adventurous safari trip. Cornel did his best to fulfill our expectations as we listed everything at the briefing: the big 5, very large herds of migrating animals, a killing of an impala by a cheetah, a catch of a buffalo by a troop of lions, a birth of a gazelle and so much more than we ever had expected to see. We had the feeling that we experienced these highlights together with Cornel, as he was so excited & so passionate about everything. The proposed accommodations were a perfect mix of luxurious lodges & comfortable tented camps, all in typical African style. Top of the bill: Tortilis Camp in the Serengeti! At the end of the trip we appreciated very much the debriefing with the whole team & Mr.Musaddiq: thank you very much for giving us our best safari ever!

An extremely well organised exciting holiday with memories that will last a lifetime.
Jamie's email communications were extremely informative and covered every aspect of our tour. His attention to detail and information was excellent which resulted in a hassle free, wonderful and most enjoyable holiday. The standard of accommodation and service was fantastic. The local companies he used were extremely professional and went out of their way to look after us all. Our time in Rwanda The Gorillas and The Mountain Lodge was amazing. What an inspirational country. It would have been nice to see more. Duma Safaris were fantastic and our drivers, Shange and Msangi were amazing and lovely men. Their local knowledge was outstanding and they provided us with wonderful and amazing game viewing. The whole experience was beyond my expectations and I have visited most of the areas we went to previously, though about 20 years ago. Thank you Jamie for providing such an amazing and exciting holiday with memories at will last for ever. Thank you for your patience and effort in looking after us all and making sure that my gluten and dairy free diet was well catered for. I didn't expect that.

Vacation of a lifetime!
My husband and I booked a trip with Erica for August 2014. From the start, she was excellent and extremely informative. We had so many questions when researching our itinerary and she was able to provide all the answers and was very honest. She always responded to our emails immediately and would even call us with an international time difference. Our entire trip was about 17 days, visiting Victoria Falls, various camps around the Okavango Delta, and the Central Kalahari. We chose to fly between camp sites and never had a problem with any of our flights. We were always on time and Erica ensured our flight times were set up so that we could get in as many game drives as we wanted. Given the complexity of our itinerary we were surprised we got through our trip without any difficulties. All the camps we stayed at were well organized and much more then we expected with great food, guides, and overall camp service. This entire trip really did exceed our expectations and we have Safari Specialists to thank for that! If we ever choose another safari trip again we will definitely be sticking with Safari Specialists!
