Awesome 1-day Safari with the Kids in Ngorongoro
I priced several safaris going to Ngorongoro Crater and Chels ended up being the most affordable. Beatus responded promptly to my inquiry and provided a detailed quote, as well as photos of the actual vehicle we would be using. He arranged to pick us up from the airport and transport us to our AirBnB in Karatu. He also organized a village tour of Mto wa Mbu for us on the day of our arrival. When we arrived in Arusha he was there with our guide Ali to greet us. Ali took us to Mto wa Mbu for the village tour, which was good, but a bit overpriced for what it was, then brought us to the house where we would be staying in in Karatu. The next day, after Ali took us to pick up some boxed lunches, we started our safari in the crater, and it was perfect. We had four kids with us, ages 12, 10, 7, and 5, and they ALL loved it. We saw, elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, water buffaloes, hippos, a million wildebeests of course, and even a black rhino mother with its baby from a distance. My wife's mind was blown, it was great. Ali was an awesome guide, I highly recommend him. My kids loved him and were extremely sad when he dropped us back off at the airport the next day.

Perfect organisation. Flexible timeplanning. Valuable suggestions. Experienced ans helpful Guide.
We enjoyed our Safari Experience and can warmly recommend Uhuru Travel in DarEsSalaam. We wanted just visit the Mikumi Np but the recommendation from Uhuru Travel to visit Udzungwa Mountains turned out to be a Great choice! The driver and guide Julius was very friendly, helpful and experienced and with very good knowlage of wildlife, fauna and culture. The car was an older Land Rover without ac but with excellent offroad qualities and the missing ac was absolutely no problem in June . The accomodations Udzungwa falls Lodge and Stanleys Kopje was excellent. We definitly would book our next trip in Tanzania with Uhuru Travel.

5Day Gorilla tracking and nature wild safari Uganda
Supportive team from Wal-Mark Africa safaris, helped us save and do the Gorilla tracking in the low season and loved the Kazinga channel boat cruise on our Queen Elizabeth park game drive. Beautiful selection on accommodation in the parks.
I do recommend them for other travelers for Uganda safaris

One of the best experiences i had in my life
The service and the communications were very good, you get a lot of information about the animals and the food you get is really good.
You are sleeping in Tends in the Serengeti which is a great experience. But if you wanna have higher comfort you should book by a different company where you can sleep in apartments.
I have seen the "big five" on a three day Safari and all the other animals you can imagine.

Direct and highly professional communication with nature and african culture.
The firsts contacts by email with Kikwetu were always fluid and friendly. The safari details were discussed and clearly explained. Once in Nairobi, since the first day, me and my wife received a friendly and kindly treatment by all the staff . During the Safari itself, the service and expertise of the guide were exceptional. I really can say that we recieved what we expected for a trip in the deep and alive Africa. Beside the richness of the animal and vegetal diversity, I specially enjoyed the different geological enviroments, since very old metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, to very young volcanic deposits associated with the Eastern African Ridge.
I strongly recommend Kikwetu.

Far beyond what I'd been imagining.
There's no question that many before me have ridden the rough roads of the Serengeti, and there were many times when I found our safari car surrounded by a dozen others and this or that favorite hippo pool. And it was not a thundering herd of buffaloes or elephants but instead a caravan of cars raising that plume of dust off in the distance. Never you mind; this was my safari, my discovery, my Serengeti, just the same as it was for the half-dozen other explorers in our beefed-up, raised-roof Toyota Land Cruiser.
One visits the Serengeti on the plain's own terms. It's an elemental place, and despite the myriad rules for safari-goers (stay in the car, don't use noises to try and turn animals' heads, be very quiet when the car is stopped, windows go up in the presence of baboons, don't toss food to them or leave any behind, wear full body armor, or is you can't then at least wear a hat and slather yourself with sunscreen, drink a lot of water, but never from a tap), the Serengeti is a dangerous place. Big cats and angry elephants are the obvious dangers, but what about the snakes that slither everywhere unseen? Or the stinging insects or the relentless burning sun? Or the cute little vervet monkey that might jump in your car and rip your face off.
It is a dangerous place, and that's precisely why the Serengeti is such an exciting, personal place. Humans, who could so easily tame the landscape, have voluntarily agreed to leave the animals to be animals, very wild and unpredictable animals. And if one follows all the rules set up to minimize human impact, then one can suddenly be very close to animals quite indifferent to human presence as they stalk prey right there less than a stone's throw from a vehicle.
The Serengeti is a place where something exciting is promised to any safari rider who is willing to sit and wait for just a few more minutes. Like the time my car waited a good 45 minutes as a nearby cheetah seemed to be stalking a far-off flock of Thompson's gazelles. Then she suddenly changed her mind and direction and bolted 50 yards in the blink of an eye to nab a healthy -- and stunned -- African hare. So quickly did it happen that as I checked my camera I saw that I had a great shot of the cheetah leaping from a low crouch into a takeoff, followed by the cheetah standing in a cloud of dust and clutching a struggling hare in its jaws. No exposures in between. It all happened too fast. Things can take a while to unwind; nature follows its own timetable.
When one goes to the Serengeti, and leaves the wristwatch and the iPod at the lodge, the adventure is for him or her alone. There is a lot of land out there. And on the land are myriad animals always hunting or being hunted. One can see the struggle all day long. One can hear the struggle continue into the night. It is not for the squeamish. And it is very personal.

Amazing holiday with Go Explore safaris
This was a well-planned holiday and the service provided by Go Explore safaris and it was world class. Everything for the hotels locations to the standard of service whilst on safari we couldn’t have gone any better. I would recommend the service of Gorilla tour booking safaris to anybody thanks to the team and our driver Dickson who was so professional in taking us all over Uganda.
