Dream Makers
Dee-Anne , Nic, Chris and Silence actually made all of our dreams come true in this 4 day experience. From check in to check out every wish you have they will make come true… as humanly possible! From seeing the Big 5 in one game drive to the very details on your favorite drink or snack for sundowners and sunups. We were thoroughly impressed and well taken care of. The animals were plenty and the food and lodge accommodations excellent!!

Amazing experience!
We just came back from a 4 days, 3 nights safari with crater explorer. The tour was very well organized by Emanuel, who was always available for any question since the beginning. We did a group joining Safari, who let us meet other people from all over the world. The lodges where we stayed were all amazing and provided the confort we needed after a day of game drive. I would highly recommend choosing Crater Explorer for a Safari experience.

Drivers and representative done well, communication between operator and accommodation was 50/50
Our trip started from Dar es Salaam to Nyerere national park.
Normally rain season starts end of February, not first week of February. Due to earlier heavy rains the road condition was bad.
You can say we started with a off road trip. It did ask a lot of our drivers and cars, thanks to their skills we got trough. Blocked roads, broken bridges, they passed it all. Even in the park the roads were partly flooded.
The knowledge of the team (drivers and representative of the operator) was huge, we are thankful for sharing this with us!
Due to the high water level it was hard to find the wild animals, but they succeed quite well.
Concerning the accommodation, our group booked all rooms with air condition. Seems only one room was reserved for us with air condition the other four were only with ventilator. Some communication issues between operator and accommodation owner.
Over all we had a great experience, our trip and safari!

Unforgettable Safari with Tazama in Kenya and Tanzania
This was our second trip with Tazama, and it was just as wonderful as the first one. This time we did a 2-week safari to Kenya and Tanzania. Antony, the owner, was incredibly helpful in customising our tour and providing advice on routes, locations and more. The accommodations Antony picked for us, especially at Ashnil Samburu Camp in Samburu and Ilkeliani Camp in Mara, were stunning and had delicious food without exception.
Our guides, Andrew and Jake (Kenya)/ Shaukat (Tanzania), were very kind, flexible, and knowledge of the wildlife/culture made our safari .
They were attentive to our interests, always eager to spot wildlife and accommodate our requests e.g. going on safari earlier/ later. We enjoyed that the guides were very respectful towards wildlife but we were still able to see the animals up close due to their ability to predict animal movements. Andrew's ability to position the car for perfect light and composition was particularly appreciated for taking wonderful pictures.
Overall, our safari with Tazama was fantastic, and we're already looking forward to our next trip!

Unforgettable experience in Africa
The company is small and this helps them to pay very personal attention to the client. Edwin is responding to my mails in hours and was very flexible to the changes that needed to be done in the program. I was lucky with the weather ( very important), my guide Bryson and the crew were doing everything so I feel comfortable.
I highly recommend the team and next year will do a safari with them.

Great experience
The communication with the company, both by email and WhatsApp, was always quick from the moment I requested a quote. Joshua was helpful answering all the questions I had, which were a few.
The tour was well organised and we didn't experience any issue. I only missed the guide being a bit more proactive to provide information about the animals we saw, however he was always ready to explain things whenever we asked something or had a doubt.
I personally chose the budget accommodation and it was just fine, even the campsites, which have awesome locations, by the way.
In terms of the safari in itself, it definitely is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All 3 parks I saw (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) are stunning, with lots of animals around and beautiful scenery.

Top notch
Everything about this experience was amazing. From the first contact everything has worked flawless, from arrival day with Mr. T to Lewis (best guide in the world) picking us up and guiding us through three amazing parks in four days. Everything felt safe and although reservations were made far in advance everything worked out exactly as planned. Food was good and even our kids 11 & 13 years ate and were happy. We will recommend this to all our friends and would love to come back and use suricatasafaris, all the best

The love for his job shines in his eyes
My first time in The Serengeti for just three days, Freddy got us covered with Itravelsafaris! For a phone photographer with family, you need to cope alot and I can never fathom another safari to seamlessly unfold with our wild encounters like this!
Punctuality, superb communication, well learned and educative talk was my experience. This was unique and spectacular. Guaranteed to probe your journeys on our African plains
Nothing can word my excitement and thrill here.
Freddy made sure that we were all comfortable with the plan prior to safari day
Especially with my tight budget.
Accommodation and food, we settled for the Heritage campsite
Exquisite local and tasty food might I add
For vegan and second rounds
Working as a team, Alfred got us to the serengeti in one day, even after all the photo sessions we took haha!
The migration was on our way and I'm so grateful for the sight he gave us all to capture every animal we came across
Checklist = cleared
*sight meaning great parking skills for lighting and angles
Another car did get stuck in the mud on our way due to floods lately, and as a team, they hauled the guy out, twice!
Great calm nature he has with taking caution as we maneuvered through the plains, cats around us until the first campsite after a colourful sunset
Check out a few of my photos to see what I got with my phone at the Serengeti!
My stories will not fit here though my adventure is bound to keep going for another & many more safaris with Itravel
Cheers!

highly recommended
Before coming to Kenya I read that your impression and safari success heavily depends on the guide, we were very lucky to Guideon from Meektrails Safaris as our reliable and caring guide, overall level of organization was very high and I would also recommend this tour operator.
Everything was well organized: the tour consultant, Victor, was very responsive and helpful, answering timely and gently all of our questions. We have got a free of charge sim card with internet that helped us to stay in touch with the family. We ordered a private car and it was very comfortable, always clean, water always available in the fridge of the car. All of the places where we stayed (we chose a medium level of comfort) had clean and nice bedrooms, tasty food and good wi-fi.
We paid 30% in advance to secure the booking, and it was assured that if something happens we could also get a full refund. Luckily, we were able to come and enjoy those 5 days of incredible safari.
We definitely recommend Meektrails Safaris as a reliable tour operator!
